Tom reviews the Golf R wagon and find that it’s the easiest Mk 8 to get on with…by a huge margin. The 2023 Volkswagen Golf R wagon is a seriously sporty station wagon. It sprints 0-100km/h in 4.64 seconds (as tested by us) and brakes really well. It also goes very sideways thanks to a new diff. There is 235kW of power (315hp), 420Nm of torque and AWD. The Golf R competes with…well, the Tiguan R, Octavia RS, Golf GTI, Audi S3, plus cars like the BMW 330i Touring and Mercedes CLA45. It costs about $70K before on-road costs and options. Wait times are quite long. As always, we don’t accept advertising from car manufacturers, and we’re powered by Budget Direct - so this is an independent, honest review of the Volkswagen Golf.
