2016 Volkswagen Golf R Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
Form & function meet to produce a smooth suburban GT cruiser.
June 6, 2022Very sporty car. I bought the R model. It also had an APR stage one set up installed in it. Incredibly fast! 0 to 60 mph in less than four seconds, probably closer to 3.5! All wheel drive helps the car to just stick and go! All grip. Just get a good set of snow tires for the winter! The car has incredible torque throughout all six gears, especially with that APR stage one package put in it, which increases your turbo boost and other things to maximize performance. Very sporty, comfortable interior. Turns a lot of heads in the lapiz blue! Also a car that will hold it’s value better than most cars. There are not many out there, especially with the APR stage one package in it. Mine also has a carbon fiber cold air in take installed as well. Very happy with it. Going from a jeep wrangler to the Volkswagen golf R, takes a little getting used to. 4 feet off the ground to now 4 inches off the ground…… Literally! Love it!
February 25, 2022Great fun car to drive daily. Specially when it’s in manual.

August 6, 2023Amazingly fun and possibly efficient car. Only if you can keep your foot from flooring the gas pedal.
