Why it stands out

The 2017 Volkswagen Golf stands out as a compact performance hatch that blends speed, grip, and a restrained look. In the Golf R family, the appeal is its ability to deliver serious performance without shouting about it, and the car’s standard all-wheel drive helps give it the traction to match its power. It is also described as extremely well equipped, with an upscale appearance inside and out.

For this generation, the Golf R uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and a six-speed manual transmission is standard, while a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic is optional. Output is listed at 315 horsepower, and the car also gains a torque-vectoring system for the rear axle. Inside, it gets heated sport seats trimmed in Nappa leather, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, ambient lighting, a 10-inch touchscreen, navigation, wireless device charging, voice control, and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The touchscreen-heavy control layout looks modern, but it can be fiddly and distracting on the move.

There are a few trade-offs to keep in mind. The 2017 Volkswagen Golf is expensive to buy, and the latest versions are noted for a fiddly infotainment system. Even so, it remains appealing for buyers who want a hot hatch that is fast and fun to drive, refined, and comparatively subtle.
