The excitement of driving a car is sometimes used to assess its magnificence. While horsepower does not define excitement, the 315-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R excels at giving an intense driving experience that sends goosebumps down your spine. Elevated in performance from the already fun Golf GTI, the Golf R adds all-wheel drive and a Drift mode that lets drivers release their inner daredevils by dividing torque to one side of the rear axle.

This energetic dance may feel more at home in cars with a rear-biased configuration, like the Ford Mustang or the Chevrolet Camaro, but it’s still rather amazing that it can be done in a package like the Honda Civic Type R. The Golf R outperforms the GTI as a hot hatch, thanks in part to bigger brakes and more than a full second faster acceleration to 60 mph.
