he only Volkswagen Golfs you can buy new in the U.S. these days are the sporty ones: the snappy 241-hp Golf GTI (the eighth-generation successor to the original hot hatch) and the 315-hp AWD Golf R. The latter is my favorite stealth supercar, a compact hatchback capable of—at least in Europe when fitted with the optional Performance package—terrorizing sleepy 911 drivers on the autobahn with its 167-mph top speed.
