2018 Volkswagen Golf R 4-Door AWD Review
Car is fast and fun although I wish the car felt a bit more involved. This is a great daily car. The best interior of all the hot hatches hands down. Wish they did a bit more to differentiate this from the gti. vs2018 Ford Focus RS Hatchback

Value
Ranked 2018 Ford Focus RS Hatchback worse.
"The interior and it does not have major recalls like the focus rs. Although the 2018 models I believe addressed the gasket issues."
Would Buy
Ranked 2018 Ford Focus RS Hatchback worse.
"It fits my lifestyle better. I think the golf r is a better daily commuter than the focus. The focus is more fun but as an everyday car I dont think it surpasses the golf" |

2018 Volkswagen Golf R 4-Door AWD Review
For years, I wanted a GTI, but thought they were for ‘kids’. After 2 Nissan 370Z manual transmissions, I decided to drive the Golf R manual transmission. I absolutely loved that car. It was incredibly fun to drive and I miss it every day. At 292 hp, it had great pep. The inside had cool blue accent lighting and white instrument dials (which I loved). It had amazing cargo space considering how small it looked from the outside. It would also hold 4 adults comfortably. It was also easy on the wallet in terms of gas, maintenance and tires (unlike shelling out $1200 every 13,000 miles on tires for the Z cars I had). The screen was touch screen and it had Apple Car Play. The only thing it didn’t have I wanted were blind spot monitors (that became available on the 2017’s). The only other downside (versus owning a Mercedes) was the dealer experience for service - obviously night and day. Even so, I’ve got my eye out for the next generation R that will hopefully have at least 350 hp. It’s worth the premium over the GTI in my opinion and the average person would think you’re nuts to pay over $40 for one. vs2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA AMG 45

Looks/Style
Ranked 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA AMG 45 better.
"The Mercedes has 20” rims and the car is slightly bigger. The accent trim is more sporty than the R. The Mercedes emblem lights up at night which is cool"
Would Buy
Ranked 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA AMG 45 worse.
"The Golf R can be bought in a manual transmission which is still the most fun to drive. There’s no interaction in driving a car (with a lot of horsepower) if all you do is press the gas. And paddle shifters don’t count - they’re a disappointing replacement option. " |
