Back again after its debut at last year's Detroit Show, Volkswagen elevates the Golf's sport compact status with the sizzling production R32, offering more performance and prestige than any GTI. At the core of this special model is a 3.2-liter/240-horse V-6, routing its power through a six-speed manual, and ultimately putting it to the ground through a 4Motion all-wheel drive system. The German automaker claims a 6.4-second 0-60 mph time for this tautly sprung model with a 153 mph top speed. Beyond gusto, the two-door R32 touts an extensive array of standard equipment, including automatic climate control system, premium sound system, rain sensor, deep-body-hugging seats, and Xenon headlamps. Ample leather and aluminum trim complete the upscale interior treatment. The MSRP price for the R32 is $29,100.
