What is the real-world MPG and road tax for a 2018 Golf R?

Expect a combined real-world MPG of around 28-35 mpg, depending on your driving style. Road tax for this 2018 model with CO2 emissions of 163 g/km will be £180 per year after the first year, as it falls into the post-April 2017 tax band.

What should I look out for on a test drive of a used Golf R?

Check for smooth shifts from the DSG gearbox, especially under hard acceleration and deceleration. Listen for any knocking noises from the suspension, and ensure the DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) if fitted, cycles through its modes correctly. Also, inspect the condition of the alloy wheels for curbing, as these are often prone to damage.

How practical is the Golf R for everyday family use?

As a 5-door hatchback, the Golf R offers decent practicality, similar to a standard Golf, with enough space for four adults. The boot capacity is around 343 litres, which is adequate for weekly shopping or a few suitcases. However, the firmer sports suspension might be less comfortable on longer journeys compared to a regular family car.
