Used Volkswagen Golf R for sale near Bellevue, ID

Talked to Nick Rios first which was good, but I was short on time that day. He not there day I came back, so I went on a test drive with Phil Watters, both were excellent. Gabby Alfieri sealed the deal with her professionalism & friendliness. All three are Superstars.

The best combination of AWD 4-door hot hatch with 6-SP manual. Rear 0-100% torque vectoring is a huge technical advancement. Powerful and economical 313 HP 4-cylinder. The Golf R is a true sleeper. M2 performance in. a low-key wrapper.

Had a pleasant experience (like usual) I enjoy the working with the service team as they are very professional and recommend ONLY the service that needs to be done.

I’ve had the car for 2 months. Purchased because I had a golf GTI and it was one of my favorite cars. I’m 40 and wanted to get back to a small car that was fun yet had room. Last year of the manual golf R and grabbed one. It’s fast, smooth, and handles better than it should. I’m also 6’5” and can fit just fine. If I could change something it would be the exhaust, it should be louder with more pops and also add a mute button for sound system. I’m fine with the touch buttons. Would buy again.

Very easy. Our sales guy, Jose N., was super helpful and funny. Overall it was a great experience. Would recommend this dealer to anyone. Thank you!

Excellent performance, good practicality, comfortable enough to daily drive and it doesn’t call attention to itself like Mustang GT, Civic Type R, etc….nice under the radar vehicle.

Mr. Lorenzo was very professional and very helpful. There was not a long wait. Everything went very smooth. He answered all my questions and helped me understand the process.

I have owned this 2016 Golf R manual since December, 2015. My previous car was a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3, a great hot hatch in it's own right. Right away I knew I had to tune the Golf R to make it feel faster than the Speed 3. APR Stage 1 accomplished that in spades. Not satisfied, I went Stage 2 which made the car absolutely bonkers (I did have to upgrade the clutch to a Southbend Stage 3 racing clutch). I have had three years on the Stage 2 and have had zero problems with it. Unrelated issues have included rear differential oil leak, window switch modulation, and misfiring due to bad plugs and coils. All except the latter were fixed under warranty. There is also a problem with the backlighting of the speedo/tach/fuel/coolant temp gauge that hasn't been fixed but other displays are fine. The car at just under 54K miles remains a blast to drive and very easy to live with.

Everybody we had an experience with on our first service was very professional and quick. Our vehicle was ready in about 90 minutes so it was early.

My Cadillac had started make an odd sound. Koby told me they would need it for a couple of days. He kept me updated on what was found the cost of fixing it (if I wanted to). He was a great person to deal with.

I owned a 2019 Golf R and recently traded for a new 2024 Golf R. My 2019 was a 6 speed manual, but I’ve finally gave in and bought the 2024 with the automatic. I always loved shifting, but getting a little older so thought it was time. Love my Golf R……GolfR comes with all the options I’d ever want standard, so, the price may seem high, hit you get everything you probably want standard, no options required .

Awesome experience. My husband and I looked at practically every mid size SUV Known to man. Of all the dealerships we visited and all the sales personell we met (including two other far substandard VW dealerships), McDonalds VW ranked #1! The most respectful and helpful sales personell! Tanner and Atticus were both polished, kind, patient, and highly intelligent in their sales positions. I had come to accept that I would have to settle for a VW package that wasn’t quite what I wanted, but Tanner saved the day and delivered (within 24 hours) with my dream car!! Cory (finance manager) worked very hard and truly went above and beyond to earn our business. What an amazing group!! Would highly recommend!!!

My husband & I had a great experience car shopping & dealing with Hutch & Ryan at Venice Toyota. We were treated with respect & we got an extremely fair deal. Hutch was so easy to work with & friendly! This is our second time purchasing a car from Venice Toyota & it won’t be the last. We love our new RAV4 LE! Thanks Hutch!

Owned my 2024 Golf R Manual Transmission since October 2023. Traded in a 2018 Mustang GT Manual with all the bells and whistles except a security package. The only thing I miss is the Coyote wail, otherwise the Golf is more fun to drive, with short gearing for quick jumps off the line with its AWD traction and good push in your back in top gear at highway speeds, and a simple drop into 4th for truly impressive hole shots that surprise the unsuspecting motorists stereotyping your car as a typical econobox. The only drawback with the short gearing is hitting the 6500 rpm rev limiter sooner than you expect. It has luxury car pretensions with all its features for the money, ride and NVH, including an adaptive suspension with truly noticeable variance in its range of settings; and it is more refined with better build quality than the Mustang with a more usable backseat and cargo area to boot. The torque vectoring rear differential provides noticeable performance when hitting the gas coming out of turns. The HK audio is a little tinny for my ears compared to an Acura ELS system two cars ago (2010 TL). So far, I have witnessed software glitches with the cornering lighting system and the steering wheel button controls failing intermittently, hoping the dealer will be able to duplicate and address the problems before the warranty runs out (compared to no warranty or other failure issues with the Ford over 6 years). Many people call a $47K Golf ridiculously priced; but I'd say they really don't understand and are judging it by its 2-box design aesthetics. You are getting engine, steering, and sport differential similar (if not the exact same) as what's used in 2.0T Porsche Macans and Audi SQ5s for thousands less, with an MT option; more refined than GR Corrolla, more features than Subaru WRX, and torque vectoring AWD superior to more expensive Acura Integra Type S and similar price to Civic R, which are both fwd only. No regrets yet with some cautious optimism the minor glitches don't turn into the full blown stereotypical VW electrical issues for which they can be known.

My experience warrants way more than a review. I hope the reader really pays attention because I have an abundance of good things to say. It starts with leadership. Phil was not just generous but incredibly helpful. His leadership saved me around $5000 and lots of stress. Next is the Service Manager. Josh was amazing. He is not only professional but incredibly kind, helpful and also generous. Allow me to sum it up this way.... We live 5 hours away, and I would be a fool to not buy and service my next car from these two fine gents. Thank you, James and Emily Christopher

Had a 2020 widebody Dodge Challenger. Warranty was comming up and because dodge went crazy with price increases ( just about 50% in 4 years) I did not want to spend close to $70,000 for dodge. I researched all cars that I could afford with similiar power to my Challenger. The VW Golf R is .2 seconds faster, has almost double the MPG, All wheel drive and every tech that can be in a car except remote start ( don't know why?). This car is just as much fun, handles better and gas mpg's are better. It just needs better sound like a muscle car. This is a real sleeper most people think it just a cute little car, they dont know what a monster this it ( 4 seconds to 60mph) gret bargain quality seems to be very good.

The AutoNation VW at Mall of Georgia was very nice. The sales person and finance staff were helpful and answered all of my questions.

I've owned this vehicle 2019-2023 (and counting). I'm 70yrs old and can say this is the best car I've ever owned. Performance, comfort and styling are 5.0. Most in my age group don't understand the Golf R until they get to drive it.

Great experience with this dealership and highly recommend them. Took great care of me. Traded in a car and bought a car.

Best small car I've ever owned. Good MPH, fun to drive and a wonderful sound system. The all wheel drive along with the get up and go of this car is excellent.

I have good experience with this dealership. Pro and cons: Pro: excellent customer service. Thank you Valerie Naval. She helped me and explained everything I asked her. Cons: Car needs to be prep for sale, deep cleaning or at least check it out for anything leftover from previous owner. But Valerie offer me reimbursement for detailing my car. Most of all if you don't like your car for any reason return policy excellent with out any hidden fees, check with your salesperson for details. I would recommend Carmax to my friends .

The Golf R is really a very unique and individualistic car - 'hot hatch' does not really fit as a descriptor as the 'R' is a much more mature and capable car. The car's ultra-high performance is complimented by excellent road handling thanks to AWD and the torque vectoring rear axle (A system only available in the much more expensive Audi RS3). Some commentators have griped at the price approx. 45K (Without Dealer 'Premiums') - however, as stated, this is a much more mature package that contains almost every option know to man! Head Up Display, Napa leather heated and cooled front seats/heated rear seats, Harman Kardon sound system, Automatically operating IQ lights, etc. etc. The true beauty of the R is that it can be driven as an extremely civilized everyday commuter, or you can unleash its inner demons with fantastically satisfying results! Some critics have commented negatively about the infotainment system and the lack of knobs - I am 66 and have found the system incredibly intuitive and intelligent to use - a little patience never goes amiss! Ultimately, this is a superb performance car that delivers in so many ways - it is mature, precise and measured - an amazing car! No, its not a hot hatch in the traditional sense - it is a car that is far more than that!

Tawnya was a breath of fresh air to work with in my car buying process. I really appreciate how she took time out to go over all the car fax info, ensuring I was well informed on the vehicle I decided to purchase. I really appreciate her time and effort. Thanks!!

What an incredible machine, from the craftsmanship inside to the perfect styling out. This car is just a fitting on a weekend getaway as it is on a racetrack. Perfect amount of room inside as well, fit two car seats no problem and I am 6'2.

great experience, everyone was so nice and they helped me get a good deal 10/10 recommend

I love it because I can make it go 500bhp and 0-60 in 3.51 S. Which is fast !!! and also looks amazing and all I need to enjoy life.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 From Rare Cars to Rare People — This Is the Dealership You Hope to Find Superior Auto Sales & Service — sascars.com Some experiences stay with you, not just because of what you bought, but because of how you were treated along the way. I never imagined myself stepping into the world of rare, high-end performance cars, let alone buying one sight unseen, out of state, and entirely over the phone. It’s the kind of move most people would hesitate to make. But after working with Sarah and Richard at Superior Auto Sales & Service, I can say this with confidence. I wouldn’t want to do it any other way. Let’s start with the car. Not just a Mustang—a 2013 Boss 302 in School Bus Yellow. A track-bred, limited-production, modern legend. The kind of car that turns heads, sparks conversations, and belongs in a collector’s stable. And to their credit, Superior Auto Sales & Service didn’t just offer it. They offered it with class, clarity, and conviction. They’re not moving metal. They’re placing machines into the hands of people who understand their value. And the people behind it? Exceptional doesn’t even come close. Sarah was laser focused from the jump. Calm under pressure, exact in her communication, and relentless when it came to getting every detail right. She didn’t just manage the sale. She owned it. From paperwork to shipping, every step was handled with precision and heart. She made sure the vehicle passed from their hands to mine without a flaw, and that I was informed, comfortable, and confident throughout the process. She was a rock. And let me tell you, that kind of professionalism isn’t taught. It’s natural. Then there’s Richard, this man’s got the kind of character and integrity you don’t find every day. Smooth, steady, and incredibly knowledgeable and honest. He didn’t rush or sugarcoat anything. He walked me through the car as if he were handing over something sacred, and he was. Not a blemish missed. Not a question unanswered. He didn’t just show me the Boss. He made sure I understood what I was receiving. He brought the perfect mix of expert knowledge and personal pride to the experience. Every word from him carried weight, and every action showed care. That kind of attention leaves a lasting mark. Even the front desk team, though we only spoke once over the phone, made an impression. Friendly, energized, and full of warmth. They didn’t treat it like anything routine. They took a moment to genuinely connect before ever talking business. That’s the kind of sincerity you remember. The documentation? Absolute perfection. Clean, complete, organized, ready to hand over to the DMV with zero confusion. The whole process was as smooth as West Virginia moonshine and twice as satisfying. This was my first time buying a vehicle like this online. I didn’t expect to walk away feeling this good. I thought I’d get a car. What I got was a reminder that good people still run honest businesses, and excellence still exists if you know where to look. So if you’re reading this, hear me. Superior Auto Sales & Service isn’t meeting the standard. They’re setting the bar. And they’ve got a customer and a friend for life. George J. Garrett

The representative was very helpful, polite, he explained what work would required, and the cost of the required maintenance was within what i expected. The vehicle was ready when i went to pick it up. Definitely will be returning for other work when necessary. Would definitely recommend the place to my friends.

I had a great experience with Action Auto! My new car is exactly what I wanted for the best deal out there

Fast, efficient, near luxury interior. Comfortable, agile nimble. 19” rims 235/35/19 continentals. Black leather interior. Premium Finder 9 speaker stereo system. What more can I say. Oh wait, did I mention all wheel drive. That too.

Made the process so easy and so fun! Super professional, and you could tell that the cars and the customers were cared about and always well taken care of. Love my new car so much!!!

Had mine since new 88,000 fun miles on it. superby reliable. Fantastic handling, comfort for long long long drive 6 hours, and great MPG...super quick, it really does everything excellently. Out of 17+ VWs since 1987 this is the best one yet...fun personified, tracks at speed perfectly, solid grip in all weather conditions. Solid, tight, really well done car. Interior layout is ergonomic excellence. of course 6 speed manual, it's best, control and in connection with the drive.

Very professional, knowledgable, helpful, and courteous. Explained every detail. Outstanding young man and experience. The dealership did not have what I was looking for in a vehicle but has all the information to notify me when they have it available.

This was my third car purchase from these folks. I found them to be always honest, credible, and I trust them. Thank you so much folks!

I purchased the 2020 MK7.5. I have been driving it for close to 12 months. There was minor niggles such as a blown fuse, the hlove box hinge detaching, right side mirror needing replacing because of a non functioning blind spot light. Other than that I had no reliability issues....Yet. Yes... The car is quick but not super quick, as some have stated but instead some what boring, because hardly anyone will take it on at the lights. lol It is compfortable and quality is good. You get a lot of car, hence the price. Still fahr more affordable than an Audi S3 with less power. Adding a a cutback sport system that utilises the oem flaps and an APR stage 1 ECU and DSG tube made this car even more enjoyable. Given all that, the fuel economy remained the same. I would not hesitate recommending the MK7.5 over the previous Golf R and even the MK 8. I think it is the better car out of all of them.
