8. VW Golf R
And finally, good old VW comes through with one of their own classics, amped up with a modern twist. I’m talking about the Golf R, which many people don’t even know about yet. The Golf R doesn’t have much to do with that old Golf slowly rotting in your grandpa’s garage, but that’s a good thing. Whereas VW may have you stumped with its Golf and Golf GTI models — no, they’re not that great — the Golf R explores new territory. It’s very compact (even more so than a regular Golf) and can do 0-60 in 6.6 seconds, which is very respectable, especially for a VW golf. It’s also turbocharged, something I’ve never heard a single guy ever complain about or say he doesn’t want a turbocharger in his car. Your only drawback here is that the base model comes in at over $34,000. That’s a lot of cash for a Golf now, isn’t it? But this is no ordinary Golf either.
