As with all hatchbacks, the Golf is easy to manage and park, mummies who drive will be happy to know that. It also looks fairly non-descript in an HDB carpark so it won't attract any unwanted attention. Side mirrors feature useful parking lamps to illuminate dark spaces.

With the tuned up EA113, Volkwagen fans, especially those of the Golf will appreciate the all-new Golf R's power and torque gains over the outgoing V6, churning out a hefty 256 bhp and 330 Nm. This is also a very significant increase as compared to a stock Mark VI Golf GTI's 210 bhp and 280 Nm. Also, the R goes from zero to 100km/h in a mere 5.7 seconds. Now is that quick enough for you?
