CarGurus recommends the 2016 Volkswagen Golf
Summary
With 134 currently listed for sale and an average price of $11,903 CAD, 22.4% of 2016 Volkswagen Golf listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favourably reviewed: Owners rated the 2016 Volkswagen Golf 5 / 5 stars.
Why it stands out
The 2016 Volkswagen Golf R stands out because it blends serious performance with the everyday usability that has long defined the Golf name. For this model year, it returned to North America as the second-generation Golf R, bringing a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, 4Motion all-wheel drive, and a choice of transmissions that included a six-speed manual from the 2016 model year onwards. Power was rated at 296 horsepower, and torque was boosted to 280 lb-ft, giving it the kind of pace that made it a direct rival to other hot hatches of its time.
What also makes the 2016 Volkswagen Golf R appealing is how thoroughly equipped it is. Standard features included a touchscreen infotainment system, heated and electrically adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, Bluetooth connectivity, keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, bi-xenon headlights, and a rear-view camera. It also gained Volkswagen’s XDS electronic differential lock as standard, along with Driving Mode Selection and an optional DCC adaptive damping system, so it could be tuned for comfort or sharper responses. By the 2016 model year, it had the added benefit of a manual gearbox option, which broadens its appeal for buyers who want a more involved driving experience.
There are a few trade-offs to keep in mind. The 2016 Volkswagen Golf R is expensive for a used hot hatch, and while its reliability reputation is fairly solid, coolant leaks and water pump failures are not unknown. Even so, it remains distinctive for offering strong performance, all-wheel-drive traction, and a high level of equipment in a package that is still relatively subtle and practical.
