VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2009-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TSI 270 R LEATHER 6SPD 4MOTION
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2009-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TSI 270 R LEATHER 6SPD 4MOTION is a high-performance five-door hatchback, sitting at the sporty end of the UK’s popular Golf range. Its turbocharged petrol engine, six-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel drive deliver serious pace and reassuring grip, while the practical cabin and boot retain everyday usefulness.
It suits drivers wanting one car for commuting, family trips and enjoyable country-road driving, rather than a dedicated track car. Leather adds an upmarket feel, and four-wheel drive helps distinguish the Golf R from many front-wheel-drive hot-hatch rivals, including the Renault Mégane and Ford Focus. Expect a more energetic drive than a standard Golf, with fuel costs reflecting its performance.
