In one corner is the Volkswagen Golf R, with two pedals or three, a digital dash, four-wheel drive, five-door practicality, and the latest-at-the-time version of Volkswagen’s long-evolving EA888 turbo four-cylinder engine under the hood. It’s an AWD-equipped rocket-hatch that’s ready for track day, a road trip in a snowstorm, your daily commute, and anything in between.
