Mat Watson and company are back with another interesting three-way drag race. On this occasion, the contenders all wear Volkswagen and Golf badges. Be that as it may, not all Golfs are created equal.

When did you last see a Golf R Estate on the road? I’m not talking about the Mk7 (which sold well because of ridiculously cheap lease deals), but the Mk8 wagon. You just never see them. Little wonder.
