For episode four of Tom Bromley Talks Cars I try to identify what a MK7 Golf R is like to live on a daily basis.


For when the highly capable GTI Golf isn't quite fast enough, naturally you turn to Volkswagen's flag ship R division.


The formula for Volkswagen's R brand has always been relatively simple. Colossal power coupled with a sophisticated four-wheel drive system. We first saw the R badge appear on a Volkswagen Golf in 2002 with the now highly acclaimed MK4 Golf R32.


2005 saw the second generation R32 released on the platform of the MK5 Golf. Same principles applied with a slight power boost to the large capacity 3.2 naturally aspirated lump.


The flagship MK6, now named the R was a big change over the car it replaced. Following the trend towards downsizing and forced induction, the engine went on a crash course diet down to a modest little two litre turbo. Unfortunately for Volkswagen the MK6 R failed to win the hearts of the motoring world. Most did not regard the performance gains over the GTI enough to justify the substantial price premium.


When the all new MK7 Volkswagen Golf R first came to market in 2014 it was clear this was a compelling package, the new R was leading the hyper hatch revolution. 300bhp and sub 5 seconds to sixty in a smart, understated package designed for everyday use.
