One of our journalist colleagues do not get it. When we asked him, "Why do you want to drive like a sports car, a station wagon?" Malaga, Spain, close Ascari race track and the pit we stand at this time, a Volkswagen Golf R SportWagen roars at full blast, the fourth gear is DQ400 dual-clutch automatic transmission swaps as furiously popping four exhaust outlet. We (We should note that we have had from other outlets) we advise you to check the pulse of the authors.
An increasing number of drivers represents the on-road superiority over tanklik choice at a time, view-obstructing crossover SUV, we size does not make a statement through the compact and agile station fully position or the flashy design of the rear of the VW decided to start the wagon. Modestly style but equipped with four-cylinder 300 hp turbo (in compliance with Euro, US Golf R makes 292 horsepower), the Golf R SportWagen leave entirely up to the driver to deliver the message.
EA888 2.0-liter TSI engine in the last iteration, Golf Sportwagens through this burliest, estimates, will charge 60 mph in under five seconds and its top speed is governed to 155 mph full. Riding on a lofty plateau of 280 lb-ft of max torque at 5500 rpm-1800-it family friendly R SportWagen a more Eurocentric available for comparison, the poor man's Cadillac CTS-V wagon or Audi RS6 Avant.
High speeds increase sound in Soundakt makes use of any of his notes go a little artificial despite driving modes, but especially in the racing environment, the Golf R cars, all makes noise. However, high costs cruel car into three-digit rates; and you can even get better fuel economy for something so powerful to hit 29 mpg highway-we think was certified for sale in the United States. Things such as cane and drive you to the intent of the driver, so long. You can do this and close to 10 mpg average stated onboard, which is a fact that we're well aware that we announce-speed cameras prayer is still passed on a lunch break. (We are rated for 30 mpg highway US-spec Golf R hatchback made our testing to achieve 24 mpg.)
The standard 4MOTION four-wheel drive system, traction drive or warranty claims it only rears calling task is biased toward the front wheels under normal driving conditions. At this point, you can send all the torque and clutch Haldex clutch almost to the rear wheels; Despite this, no gliding machine and to be a part of any equation terrible oversteer is easy to rotate the Golf R SportWagen again through a succession of aggressive corners and fun.
Helping the cause-but a brake-based vector system must at both ends of the brake-pad life brake to send more torque to the other side to turn the wheels of individual assistance. nicely weighted power-steering system as well as light and a touch sensitive to even small input is one of our favorites. We sometimes automatic mode, the dual-clutch 'box with feeling sluggish throttle response, I would say the same about you.
Golf R SportWagen Volvo Saturns and Subarus frolicking in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood, or in an urban environment like New Hampshire could go hidden in the back way. Only a few connoisseurs will notice that there is something hidden under the extra modest housing. 225 or 235 tires wearing giveaway tips as well as 18- or 19-inch wheels, four exhaust pipes revenues mentioned above. There is an aero kit, too, but it seems rather different sports. subtle clues cut microfiber sports seats, carbon fiber trim and looking continues in stainless steel covered pedals spacious cabin.
While we understand some of the nation and even other journalists, the Golf R can take Sportwagen, it's sad: This practicality, performance and the secret is a fantastic mix. (Of course, the Golf R hatchback with the main argument even SportWagen in Europe, it helps to have any low-priced GT version.) Obviously, we would like to see the car here, although we accept the high prices and long-roof body style, to low volume ahead. On the other hand, Volkswagen of all places, Los Angeles, last year, made starting this version. We're asking-and since the appeal of the car VW-how already about one glaring omission to fix the car's six-speed stick and limited means the proposal will be here?
