Volkswagen Golf R hatchback (2009 – ) expert review
The Golf R is nothing like the Focus RS. It's subtle and quiet, with four-instead of front-wheel drive for a surefooted drive. Great car, but the Golf GTI is better value.

Volkswagen Golf R32 car review
The Volkswagen Golf R32 is the car for when the Golf GTi just isn't enough. It might be a little faster, a little more comfortable and a little more exclusive, but for performance junkies, these little bits add up to a lot. Powered by a big 3.2-litre V6 engine, the Golf R32 features Volkswagen's acclaimed 4Motion four-wheel drive system making it a stunning cross country cruiser. We spent several hundred miles behind the wheel to find out if it's just a posh GTi or something entirely different.

Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion 1.9TDi car review
Volkswagen’s BlueMotion badge was first introduced at the launch of the ultra-efficient diesel Polo last year, and Volkswagen plan to offer nine BlueMotion models by the end of 2008. Andy Goodwin has just driven the Polo’s big brother, the Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion, which is the most important of the batch, thanks to the Golf’s wide appeal and sales success across the UK. Volkswagen hasn’t taken the Toyota approach of designing advanced hybrid technologies, instead sticking with the formula it used to create the Polo BlueMotion – using a tried and tested diesel engine in the most efficient way possible.

But after a series of disappointing GTis, does the latest model have what it takes to convince the car-buying public the original hot hatch is still the best? We took to the road to find out.
