VW may not have made the first "hot hatch" in the world, but I argue that they have long made the best hot hatches, and the ultimate is the Golf R. With over 300 horsepower, a robust AWD system, a slick shifting dual-clutch transmission and more ways to adjust the suspension and drivetrain than you can imagine, the Golf R is practically a sports hatch chameleon. It can be mild mannered on your way to drop the kids off at school, a canyon carver on your way to work, and an autocross champion on weekends. What more could your midlife crisis ask for?
