CarGurus Analysis: 2016 Volkswagen Golf R
Summary
With 120 currently listed for sale and an average price of $19,682.00, 31.7% of 2016 Volkswagen Golfs R for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2016 Volkswagen Golf R 5 / 5 stars.
61.7% of 2016 Golf R models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2016 Volkswagen Golf R stands out as a compact performance hatch that blends serious pace with everyday usability. It uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, sends power through Volkswagen’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system, and was rated at 296 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. For 2016, a six-speed manual transmission was standard, with a seven-speed DSG transmission available as an option. That combination gives the Golf R the kind of traction and punch that make it feel more special than a typical hot hatch.
What also makes the 2016 Volkswagen Golf R appealing is how thoroughly equipped it is. Standard features include a touchscreen infotainment system, heated and electrically adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, Bluetooth connectivity, keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, bi-xenon headlights, and a rear-view camera. It also has Volkswagen’s XDS electronic differential lock as standard, along with Driving Mode Selection, while an optional DCC adaptive damping system adds another layer of adjustability. By the 2016 model year, the manual transmission had arrived, and the Golf R’s equipment list was already deep enough to make it feel upscale as well as quick.
There are a few tradeoffs to keep in mind. The Golf R is expensive to buy, and while its reliability reputation is fairly solid, coolant leaks and water pump failures are not unknown. It is also not as raw as some rivals, but that restraint is part of its appeal: the 2016 Volkswagen Golf R delivers strong performance, all-weather grip, and a polished cabin in a package that remains subtle and easy to live with.

Reviewed a 2016 Volkswagen Golf R on Feb 25, 2022
Very sporty car. I bought the R model. It also had an APR stage one set up installed in it. Incredibly fast! 0 to 60 mph in less than four seconds, probably closer to 3.5! All wheel drive helps the car to just stick and go! All grip. Just get a good set of snow tires for the winter! The car has incredible torque throughout all six gears, especially with that APR stage one package put in it, which increases your turbo boost and other things to maximize performance. Very sporty, comfortable interior. Turns a lot of heads in the lapiz blue! Also a car that will hold it’s value better than most cars. There are not many out there, especially with the APR stage one package in it. Mine also has a carbon fiber cold air in take installed as well. Very happy with it. Going from a jeep wrangler to the Volkswagen golf R, takes a little getting used to. 4 feet off the ground to now 4 inches off the ground…… Literally! Love it!
