Compared to a stock MKVI Volkswagen GTI, this particular one makes a lot more power. How much more power? Well, while the regular GTI made 200 horsepower, this one makes almost double that鈥攁 claimed 360 horses. Heck, even compared to the current Golf R, that's a lot of power. And with so much twist routed to the front wheels, you'd be safe to expect it to torque-steer like crazy. But it doesn't. That's largely because the owner fitted his car with an aftermarket limited-slip differential鈥攁long with quite a few other mods. At this point, you have to wonder. If Volkswagen had beefed up the mechanical differential you can get on the new GTI with the Performance Package, could it have gotten away with offering the Golf R without all-wheel drive? 40,000 on a Golf R, you should get a GTI and spend the money you save on a tune and an LSD. With any luck, you'll still have a few bucks left over to go to the tire fund.
Six years ago, Volkswagen replaced the vaunted R32 with the 2012 Golf R. With 256 horsepower from a torquey 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, VW鈥檚 new performance icon became the flagship of the Golf family. As the top dog in the Golf line-up, the Mk6 Golf R is a lot more than a just a gussied-up GTI with a bigger turbocharger and higher price tag. It comes with a few other niceties that distinguish itself among from its Wolfsburg brothers. It has as all-wheel drive, for a start. Beyond that, the Mk6 Golf R also has upgraded binders, recalibrated suspension, and a more refined interior. Altogether, the Golf R offers a distinctly different driving experience and a high desirability quotient. Of course, this level of performance and refinement comes at a cost. 5,000 separated a similarly equipped Mk6 GTI and Golf R. The premium cost and the limited number of Golf R cars brought into the U.S.
Well, all good things come to those who wait, including depreciation. In the span of five years, the market value of the Mk6 Golf R fits squarely in our modest budget zone. After an intense three-month search, we found a mint2012 Golf R project car with 29,000 miles and zero aftermarket mods. 30,000, which included a pre-sale-inspection by an independent shop, the sale price, state sales tax, registration fee, and cost of transportation to get it from the East Coast to California. The Golf R feels almost perfect out of the box for a daily driver. One of its greatest assets is that it doesn鈥檛 compromise ride quality in pursuit of performance. Our Golf R project car鈥檚 awesome steering, tenacious handling, and smooth power delivery remind us why we can live it every day. Moreover, the conservative character of the Golf does not scream for attention like a WRX STi or Civic Type R. A quick glance from the outside and it looks like a typical Mk6 Golf or GTI.
Keen observers who are familiar with the Golf family will quickly notice the characterizing traits of the Golf R such as the LED daytime driving lights, the black side-view mirrors, and the center-mounted twin exhaust pipes. The cabin has the typical business-like design we have come to expect from Volkswagen, along with some nice touches that set the interior well above its class competitors like the Ford Focus RS and Subaru WRX STi. Inherent qualities, such as first-class ergonomics, a splendid driving position, and aluminum-capped pedals reveal a cabin that perfectly tickles the driving inspiration each time we get behind the leather-wrapped, flat-bottom steering wheel. Even though passenger comfort is placed above cargo room, a quick drop of the rear seats opens up plenty of usable space. Our sporty hatchback 鈥?straight from the factory 鈥?is safe and efficient. Yet it can still give most BMWs and Audis a kick in the pants while saving you enough money for a European vacation. Even though our canyon carver is no slowpoke, we can鈥檛 leave things alone. Thankfully, an abundant number of mods and reams of information are available, conveniently archived in sixth-generation Golf R forums.
