2022 volkswagen golf r free#
In truth, despite the fact that the traction control system was disconnected, the car was not completely free of its on-board safety systems, as Volkswagen has kept a “safety net” just in case. The car instantly started to skid without me losing control. I put the car in Drift mode and took off, making sure to turn the steering wheel to get the rear end to stall. This time, I was not going to miss my chance! But the one I was particularly interested in was Drift, since we hadn't really had a chance to try it out on the dry streets and roads around Niagara-on-the-Lake. The Golf R offers no fewer than six different drive modes (Comfort, Sport, Race, Special, Drift and Custom).
While this has been a trend for several years now, let's just say that now we’re in a universe of deep customization like never before. I won't beat around the bush - the main purpose of this winter test drive was to put to work the car’s Drift mode, the settings that make the car more playful when you push hard in the corners. And right they were for this second contact. In fact, I've always preferred the R in winter and the GTI when the weather is fine, not because the two-wheel drive version is unpleasant in winter, but because the Golf R is a monster when the conditions are right. Not that that was a problem, because a few snowflakes, some icy patches and plunging temperatures weren’t going to get between me and this car, the third edition of the R model (if we exclude the R32 that preceded it).
Literally, because as fate would have I was getting a week with the new Golf R when conditions were cold and icy. This time, I was going to be on much more slippery ground. These are two pretty exceptional variants of an exceptional model. I’ve tried to do that before, mind you, and never got a clear answer I have to admit. One of my goals at the time was to determine which one I should most recommend to buyers. It seems like just a few months ago – because it was just a few months ago - that I headed to Niagara-on-the-Lake for a pretty positive first contact with the new 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R.
