While the Volkswagen Golf may seem relatively mainstream in the United States, it’s a big deal in Europe. That’s because when it debuted for the 1974 model year, it was seen as a modern, value-packed, front-wheel drive family car that was economical and more importantly, fun to drive. Then, Volkswagen introduced the Golf GTi in 1976 and created what we now know as the hot hatchback. The Golf remains on sale to this day, and there’s a variant that’s even hotter than the GTi in the Golf hierarchy. That variant is called the Golf R, which debuted with 2012’s seventh generation.
