It's very close to 4 seconds. There are videos showing it going head to head with the A45s and keeping up. That thing has 100+hp over the Golf R.

I like the Golf...have liked most of the generations and this one is growing on me. I have a real problem paying over $40k for a VW though...that is where they lose me with this one

I will forever love the GTI & Golf R. They are very fun to drive. And I think the most bang for your buck at their price points. If the new Golf R were out now, I might be waiting for one of them to get here and not an M340i. For real. Maybe a two year lease. But still.

Audi wouldn't let the Golf R have the 2.5L engine so it appears VW in defiance jacked up the EA888. Great for us as IMO the 2.5L engine in this chassis ruins handling as even the front staggered setup of the RS3 can't prevent terminal understeer.

I wonder why there aren’t more videos of the drift mode when all we see are people drifting the G8x and using the m drift analyzer?

Haldex can only send 50% to the rear, and if they used the Focus RS setup, it can briefly overdrive the rear to 60%. That's the same as a quattro or xDrive car before slip.

Also don’t entry level 3-series come out to around 40 these days? If so I’d take the R over a 320/330i. |

Looks are subjective, but for sure it is gross on the inside courtesy of all the piano-black and touch-sensitive screens and capacitive buttons. I guess they saved a lot of costs there, to make it seem like a "bargain", but I am not sure it really is. |
