While the R32 is no lightweight at 3, pounds, it puts its horsepower down to the tarmac a lot differently than its luxurious cousin. Handling is dynamic, thanks to a traction control system that barely makes its presence known, but still manages grip effectively.

Aesthetically, this Golf borrows from the Porsche and Audi RSs, one of the advantages of Volkswagen being the parent company for sure.

In fact, braking may very well be the strongest dynamic element in the R32's deep and varied bag of tricks. There's more, of course.

Although there's some rock and roll in hard cornering, recovery in quick transitions is instantaneous--the car changes directions like a mongoose sorting through a box of cobras. With the ESP "electronic stabilization program" engaged, responses are damped somewhat, although VW has set the engagement threshold quite high.
