I'm still for AWD cars and came across a 2012 VW Golf R 2-door. I do't know much about these cars at all except that on paper, they seem to be in my wheelhouse. AWD, manual, 4-cylinder turbo. IIRC, they are not as fast as the WRX or Lancer Ralliart. So, what am I missing besides my general wariness of VW products?
Nice seats.
They were not as popular here as they were quite a bit detuned and defeatured from the european version
If you want to auto-x it, it's a whiff in stock form. It understeers waaaay too much for an AWD car at the limit for me.
The detuning that the US cars got means that a simple reflash will net the car HUGE gains in hp and torques. I just took a look at APRs page about it and it looks like 50-100 extra ponies pretty easily.
It should go pretty good then. 
and the APR tune also helps with electric nannies as well.
I wouldn't buy any VW out of warranty.

I know this is true for the new version but is this also true for the 2012 op mentioned?
