At €54,540 ($63K), the GTI Edition 50 packs 320 hp and a Nürburgring time quicker than its big brother, the Golf R. However, it won’t come to North America.
The GTI’s blend of practicality, pricing and sporty performance continue to make it a must-drive for budget-minded enthusiasts.
Volkswagen was the last manufacturer to sell a manual transmission wagon in the United States. The brand sold two wagon versions of the Mk7 Volkswagen Golf, the Golf Sportwagen and the Golf Alltrack.
