In case you haven’t heard, Toyota has introduced the most hardcore hatch of the year, and it costs $64,360, not including destination. The good news is that, according to the online configurator, there’s not much you can do to add to that price. The bad news is that it costs $14,000 more than a brand-new Golf R, so you can basically go out and buy the ultimate day-to-day hot hatch, and have enough money left over for a clean, used Nissan 370Z. The latter car is absolutely perfect for track days, because you can abuse it and feel no guilt whatsoever.
