Luxurious interior. Sleek exterior. A VW frame with a Porsche engine. VW’s mk 7.5 is what many refer to as the top tier golf. Its mature appearance coupled with electronic driving modes can take this car from dads commuter to his weekend car at the track. That’s the main draw in this ‘19 R. It can be dressed up or dressed down, as I’ve gotten older I’ve stopped buying WRXs because the golf R quality, and look, align with the sticker price.
