Media reviews

A blue Volkswagen Golf R driving down a cool black and white striped road

The Golf R

No competition for this performance hatchback

"R performance torque vectoring in the rear wheels has transformed the handling, and is standard for the Mk8 R. Whereas older Rs tended to understeer, the Mk8 R has a keenly neutral handling balance with a propensity for the rear to pivot positively to throttle inputs. This is an incredible sensation that gives the car adjustability and interaction like never before. Even without all-wheel steering, the agility of the Mk8 R is spellbinding."

Worthy of its R nomenclature? Oneshift surely agrees. Read on more in the article below!
