Reviews SummaryVolkswagen may have discontinued the standard Golf in the United States but the Germans let us keep its performance variants. The rally-inspired Golf R returns for the 2022 model year after a short hiatus, alongside a redesigned Golf GTI. The all-new, eighth-generation Golf R brings high-end performance and premium amenities without being snobby about it. | |
Reviews SummaryWhen we think Civic, our minds don’t instinctively leap toward the Type R. This isn’t a commuter special priced for newly minted drivers and aimed at sensible manners and good fuel economy. Driving the Type R is something else entirely: bombastic, fast, and an instantly memorable experience. With more power and performance, the new 2023 Honda Civic Type R provides a more exhilarating driving experience than ever before. | |
