By Joel Patel| Right Foot Down@ The Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R have never been the hot hatchbacks I’ve pined after. That would go to the Honda Civic Type R and Toyota GR Corolla. These hatchbacks, though, are far too expensive for this lowly journalist – no one told me journalism would die out with a big puff of smoke.
