2015 Volkswagen Golf R for Sale

All the amenities, fantastic performance, comfortable for a sport tuned car, very practically sized. The car feels roomy inside compared to it's diminutive outside. It looks good - if you're into the modern hard lines on cars these days. The gas pedal is like a light switch - either off, or full blast, which can be very exhilarating or quite annoying depending on traffic conditions. DSG shifters are so much faster than using a true stick, but they still have real lag and leave me wishing I had that slower, more direct, more in my control manual. The car had more traction than the Incredible Spiderman for the first 10k miles, now I push out on tight turns enough to notice, but not enough to really break traction (this is not AWD under steer, this is the traction control making slower decisions than physics). The paint is attractive, but stupid thin. Everything that dings the paint goes all the way to the primer. This makes me angry. Rattles, squeaks, NVH are better than what I'm used to in American cars, but are extremely noticeable in a $40k+ German car.

This thing is pretty fast. My wife has a dsg in her mk6 gli, and while I though I enjoyed a stick more, the auto sometimes makes me regret my decision. But after a quick shift with the dsg, I'm reminded that I couldn't shift faster with a stick anyways. I have driven nothing but Volkswagens in my life, so I may be biased on my opinions. While a gti is quick, this is faster. I own a mk6 gli with a tune, and the torque steer is unreal. The awd will keep you planted and straight on accelration, it's quite remarkable. This is my first awd hatch, and while I've driven a few other awd cars, mainly Audi and Subaru, I have to say I'm pretty happy with the performance. Fuel economy is so so. I haven't taken a long trip aside from the ride home from the dealer, but I've hit 29 mpg so far. Keep in mind, my fwd 14 gli 6 speed with a tune got 41 on a 7 hour drive to North Carolina. If you're familiar with vw and the fender system, you're getting the same, plus a somewhat updated infotainment system. Android auto is pretty neat, but I've had some issues with my Nexus 6 that I haven't fully worked out yet. If your looking in the $30k range for a fully loaded fast awd hatch, def consider just sitting in a golf r. It's really nice.

These are great little cars, if you can find one! They are rare and had to have a car shipped in order to get mine. Great performance of course,but biggest surprise was the civilized ride,even with 19" wheels. Only buy the car with DCC!

Car is very technologically advanced with all the bells and whistles. The Golf R is the Cadillac of the Golf family. Drive one and see the difference. A GTI just doesn't compare!

Excellent fast and flexible hatch that outperforms most in its class and above. The nav/infotainment system is a weak point, but other than that there are very few issues -uses a lot of tires (but that may just be the way I drove it).

Overall an absolutely outstanding vehicle to daily drive. Performance is plenty for normal road use and its extremely practical as well
