fast.
You won’t find an oversized wing on the rear. Or flames on the side. That’s not what the Golf R is
about. It’s about being fast. Real fast.* What started with our legendary Golf has only gotten better
and, well, faster. Because we had our best engineers burn a little midnight oil, along with a lot of
rubber, to make our limited-run sport hatch run even harder. And be the fastest U.S. production car
we’ve ever built.** Guess we can all agree that the little R tells you everything you need to know.

list.
Think about your wish list for the perfect sport hatch.
It would include an aggressive body kit. It would have
track-ready 18-inch wheels wrapped in low-profile
tires. And it would feature a shiny R badge and dual
center exhaust in the back to give people behind you
something to look at. Of course, it’s not technically a
wish list if all your wishes are granted.

Genuine VW accessories. The Golf R leaves the factory
ready to hit the road, and pretty much own it too. But
nothing should stop you from making your ride more
ownable. Especially with such accessories as blacked-out
wheels, side window deflectors, or customized MojoMat®
floor mats. Because going fast never goes out of style.*

There’s only one thing better than looking under the
hood of this beast. That’s sitting in the driver’s seat. If
you can take your hand off the shifter for a second,
you’ll find available touchscreen navigation to help
you locate the nearest long straightaway. Plus, an
available 9-speaker Dynaudio® premium sound system
to play some serious driving music. And R-badged top
sport seats with leather seating surfaces that hug you
as tightly as your Golf R hugs the asphalt.

Changing your oil, rotating your tires, topping off the windshield
wiper fluid — do you remember to do all that stuff? Your car does.
Right there in your instrument panel. Both it and your dealer will
let you know when it’s time to schedule your appointment. And for
three years, or 36,000 miles, we’ve got you covered. That’s why
we call it carefree. Come by for a courtesy vehicle check within
the first 90 days, or 6,000 miles, and ask us any questions you
have while we give your Golf R a basic checkup. Then, come
by every year, or 10,000 miles, for your remaining scheduled
maintenance checks. It’s that simple.
