De kofferruimte was voor mij wel belangrijk toen ik 4 jaar geleden mijn auto ging gaan bestellen. Want ik zit in een rolstoel, dus moet de bodemruimte van de koffer laag genoeg zijn, zodat mijn opgevouwen rolstoel er in past. En door het 4x4 systeem van de Golf R kon ik de bodemplaat van de koffer niet lager zetten, zoals ik met mijn voorwiel aangedreven TCR wel kan.

Scary fast.

What a nice car

the thing with this car is that it's actually about 370HP, not 320. i've seen a race video between this and a civic type R which is 300HP, and the golf beats that car like it has 500HP and accelerates super fast in all conditions. this car is equivalent to a mercedes A 45 S AMG 4MATIC+ , that one being only a fraction faster in real life conditions, a 416HP car. this golf is a beast, and not really overpriced for what it offers, as long as you don't crash it into a tree or something

Power and control, but a rough engine note, like all the oil has been drained and the engine is close to bearing-spin.
