What I Think Of The New VW Golf R:

 

The Volkswagen Golf has long been one of the most impressive cars on the market. With a understated style, quality materials in the places most automakers skimp on, an entertaining ride, and a knockout engine are only a few of the reasons why the Golf is a favorite among many. The 2022 VW shouldn't change too much of that, instead zeroing-in on the tiny areas that need work. The phenomenal engine and powertrain remain relatively untouched, with a Inline-4 engine pumping out an outstanding 288 hp. The one big change the Volkswagen hatch is making is turning to a all-wheel drive system to keep the Golf R competitive with the legend-in-the-making that is the Honda Civic Type-R. Another terrific thing to happen to the Golf R is possibly the most exciting: it drifts! At $39K, the upcoming Golf is shaping up to be everything it is supposed to be, a (relatively) affordable way to have fun while still having a immensely practical vehicle.
