Tell us about it; HP? 0-60? Handling? Braking?

I started driving GTI's the moment we got the first one in late 1982. I've had a bunch since, plus a Mk4 R32, a 2016 R, recently replaced with the 2019 R pictured. 0-60 is about 5 flat with 6MT (which I have), and about 4.7 with the dual-clutch DSG gearbox. Handling & braking are phenomenal. Best part about it is that it's such a good all-arounder - when you just want to lope over to buy groceries, it behaves just like granny's Golf. When you want to get wild and wooly in the twisties, it claws & dances like a champ. 288 hp, AWD, and all the goodies you could possibly want (killer infotainment, outstanding interior, superb fit & finish, all the latest safety stuff, adaptive cruise, etc). Absolutely my perfect daily driver.
