Based on the totally redesigned 2007 Volkswagen Golf, the R32 aims to fight the Subaru Impreza STI and Mitsubishi Evolution IX with less power but a touch of maturity. Like its competitors, the Golf R32 features four driven wheels, courtesy of VW’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. The 3.2-liter V6 generates 250 horsepower and 236 lb.-ft. of torque, managed by either a six-speed manual transmission or a Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
