Found a car I liked.
Found a car I liked. They had great pictures of it in all angles. Pre-approved online and was in and out in 30 minutes with my car I love.
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.

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.

It is fast and yet very refined... way more so than say an EVO or STI. I love this car and would by another in a heart beat.
