Shop Our Used Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R Models
If you’re seeking the best value in your Golf GTI or Golf R purchase, consider a pre-owned model. Buying used means you can access a variety of model years, trims, and colors—and pay less than buying new without compromising on performance. The brand’s legendary German engineering extends to previous model years, resulting in long-term reliability and value.
Shopping for a pre-owned performance Volkswagen, such as the Golf GTI or Golf R, offers several benefits. First, you can explore higher trims that are often priced lower than a new base model. Older vehicles may also come in colors and configurations that are no longer available, giving you a unique piece of Volkswagen history.
High-Quality Vehicles
We stock a constantly updated selection of high-performance Golf models. Here at Fox Valley Volkswagen Crystal Lake, every used GTI and Golf R must meet our stringent quality standards before earning a spot in our inventory. Our factory-certified technicians inspect every body panel, component, and interior feature, ensuring you can shop with confidence.
Benefits of Buying Used
When you buy used, you’re choosing from a large variety of options, including nearly new lease returns with modern technology and low mileage, and older, highly coveted model years with the same high-end German engineering. We invite you to view our entire inventory of used Golf GTI and Golf R models online, where you can scroll through complete specifications, interior and exterior photos, and see our transparent pricing for every vehicle.
Buying a used Golf R unlocks options that date back to the early 2000s. What started as a special edition model has expanded to thousands of vehicles and a range of unique trims across multiple production years. The GTI dates back to the mid-1970s, with each generation refining driving dynamics and performance technology.
The Volkswagen Golf GTI
For decades, the Golf GTI has been recognized as one of the most balanced, well-rounded performance hatchbacks on the road, designed for drivers who want a fun-to-drive daily vehicle that is affordable and makes commuting a little more thrilling. Volkswagen found a way to combine practicality with performance in the dynamic Golf GTI.
Surprising Practicality
As a performance-focused hatchback, the Golf GTI is surprisingly practical for everyday driving. Commuters will appreciate the comfortable cabin and fuel-sipping manners, but when the weekend comes, there’s no better car for taking a long drive on a curvy back road. Turbocharged performance meets progressive steering to deliver glued-to-the-road responsiveness on every hairpin turn.
Pleasing the Crowd
The Golf GTI sits atop car reviewers’ favorites lists because of its box-ticking usability. Whether evaluating for comfort, refinement, or acceleration, evaluators are hard-pressed to find a weakness. Add to that the model’s head-turning curb appeal, and this compact hatchback offers a long list of benefits.
Get Ready for Thrilling Performance
For drivers who prefer to sit close to the road and feel every ounce of g-force, there’s no better vehicle than the Golf GTI. With an affordable starting price, it’s a great option for buyers who crave high performance but don’t want to stretch into a high-end sports car. Braking is firm and dependable, and steering offers feedback for experienced sports car drivers.
An Innovative Interior
Inside the cabin, Volkswagen packs in numerous tech-forward features. Large instrument displays allow drivers to monitor performance, while the center-dash touchscreen keeps apps and navigation tools within reach. New Golf GTI models also include the latest driver-assist safety and convenience features.
The Volkswagen Golf R
The Volkswagen Golf R carves out a niche as a high-horsepower, track-ready hatchback that balances insane performance stats with stability and traction. Standard all-wheel drive harnesses this model’s speed and agility without degrading output. All-wheel drive also helps deliver torque evenly for tighter turning and better control.
High-Performance Design
The Golf R leaves the competition in the dust, thanks to the brand’s commitment to refining every component. Sports car performance is enhanced by this model’s lighter weight and aerodynamics. A sleek, slanted hood gives way to carved side panels and a hatchback rear that makes this model’s curb profile unique. Oversized wheels also contribute to its aggressive stance.
Luxurious Interior
VW equips the Golf R with an upscale interior that leans into luxury. Comfortable sport seats, an intuitive dash, and plenty of headroom combine to deliver a driver-centric experience. Practical features like a 60/40 split-folding rear seat and multi-zone climate control help the Golf R adapt to daily life. R badging distinguishes the Golf R from other VW hatchback models.
High-Functioning Tech
As for technology, the Golf R is oozing with it. A massive infotainment touchscreen serves as the vehicle’s nerve center. Drivers can access connected smartphone content, like playlists, navigation, and voice texting, along with vehicle data and climate control features. Clever extras activate performance driving features that capture data for hardcore thrill-seekers.
