14. Volkswagen Golf R32 Mk4
This list wouldn’t be complete without a proper hot hatch. There are lots of interesting compact cars with high power to choose from, new or used. In most cases, when it comes to the hot hatch class, the newest and fastest is always the best choice. But today, we’ll tell you about one forgotten gem, the Golf R32.
In 2003, Volkswagen took the Mk4 body shell and installed the best hardware it had in the early 2000s. That meant the R32 had intelligent all-wheel drive, a 240 HP 3.2-liter V6 engine, a luxury interior and a host of electronic aids. All of this makes the R32 the definitive future classic and an extremely capable everyday car. Be sure to buy one now while they are still affordable.
