Some cars do a great job of getting you to your destination, but only a great car will make you eager to leave as soon as you get there. That's the 2024 VW Golf R for you. A 315-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine deploys spectacular urgency to all four wheels. That is, until you enable the rear-bias Drift mode. Even when driving normally, it's easy to feel as connected to the Golf R as the LED unibrow across its front fascia. Its tidy, densely packed hatchback body offers plenty of head-, leg-, and cargo room, but it's knob-less infotainment system makes us yearn for what knobs and hard buttons do with just a simple twist or push.
