VW Golf Mk5 R32 | The most underrated hot hatch? | Future Classics with Becky Evans S1 E2

Volkwagen's Golf received the R treatment for the first time with the Mk4, taking the GTI and adding in a VR6 engine to create the Volkswagen Golf R32. But, in its first era, not many people would get their hands on one. The unloved Mk4 Golf was replaced by the better looking and better loved Mk5 in 2003.

The VR6 engine lived on, moving to fifth generation car and creating the second Golf R32, rivalling the four-wheel drive prowess of the likes of the Subaru Impreza WRX and Mitsubishi Evo. This car, which sold in much bigger numbers, would become the genesis of all R-badged Golfs to this very day although subsequent generations went down the four cylinder turbocharged route. All these years later, is it still the most underrated Golf hot hatch?

Welcome to Future Classics where Becky Evans takes a closer look at the modern cars set to be the stars of the classic car scene.
