VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2009-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TSI 270 R 6SPD 4MOTION
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2009-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TSI 270 R 6SPD 4MOTION is a five-door performance hatchback, pairing Golf practicality with a powerful petrol engine and four-wheel drive. In the UK, it sits above family hatchbacks, rivaling premium hot hatches while remaining usable daily. Its manual gearbox keeps driving engaging.
It suits drivers wanting one car for commuting, family duties and trips, though running costs will be higher than a standard Golf. Across 555 mycarcheck.com look-ups covering 126 VINs, vehicles averaged 91,000 miles and 5,000 miles annually. The private-sale valuation averaged £10,900; these figures describe checked cars, not every example.
Four-wheel drive gives the Golf R grip, while its pace makes it more exciting than a Golf or many front-drive hot-hatch rivals. Yet five doors and a boot preserve everyday flexibility. Mycarcheck.com checks show nearly six previous keepers on average, so check service records, condition and ownership history before buying.
Buying a Golf R? Outstanding finance, hidden damage, write-offs, theft or mileage problems can turn a bargain into a costly mistake. Enter the reg now and check before you commit.
