2012 Volkswagen Golf R 4-Door w/DCC & Navigation review
Great hatchback with all wheel drive and manual
My criteria for a car was simple.... all wheel drive, manual transmission, and good performance. I've owned a number of got hatches but I'll go the distance and say this is my favorite. It drives like yours expect a German car should.... well mannered, quiet, planted, and reasonably quick. Interior is excellent and honestly I can say that domestic cars have a LONG way to go before they hit this quality. Really looking forward to having this car for years to come.

2012 Volkswagen Golf R 2-Door review
Blast to drive all year
Love this German made VW. 4 Motion awd, great gas mileage. I've owned many VW's, this is the best. The Golf R has a lot of tuning options easily pushing the vehicle to 400hp.

Kahn is a very good salesman.
Kahn is a very good salesman. He didnt leave any details out and was very transparent with the car and its history. The whole process went very easy and I will definitely buy another car from him in the future. Thank you Kahn!
