Volkswagen Golf 2017
Carsguide Contributor Dan Pugh had this to say at the time: The Golf R's split personality is a perfect blend of daily-driver practicality and powerful performance. If you’re looking to spice up your garage with a second car that delivers head-snapping performance, but that can also be used as a family hauler when needed, then the Golf R should be at the top of your short list.

The 2017 Volkswagen Golf carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Volkswagen Golf is also known as the Volkswagen Rabbit and the Volkswagen Caribe in markets outside Australia.
