Description

The 2017 Volkswagen Golf R offers an engaging and composed drive thanks to its punchy 2.0 TSI engine and all-wheel drive. The chassis feels balanced with a confident, planted feel through corners, while the quick automatic gearbox makes everyday progress smooth and responsive. It's a car that rewards enthusiastic driving without feeling harsh.

Inside, the cabin wraps occupants in a sporty yet practical environment with supportive front seats, straightforward controls and a sensible footprint for town and motorway use. Its generous boot and clever storage make daily life easier, while strong build quality and thoughtful detailing add to long-term appeal and ownership confidence.
