Also known as the SportWagen, the Golf Variant R-Line is a hugely sensible ride for the discerning family. We had the chance of bringing her out for a weekend and was pleasantly greeted with her planted and responsive drive. With a velvety shade of red draping over her, complete with the R-Line kit and high-tech options, it certainly oozes class and confidence.

Here's the shoot summary.

This satisfies the boy racer in us. The VW GTI is an absolute firecracker that teases with some wheel spin at a full throttle take off. Though not as planted as the AWD Golf R, much of the joy comes this "flawed" character anyway; dances round corners and skips around undulating terrain. We definitely had a field time driving more than shooting the GTI.

With almost 300bhp to boot, we are loving the Volkswagen Golf R's under-the-radar looks and it’s exhilarating raw pace and refinement - which is totally perfect for the traffic scene here. And being an all-rounder is a good thing - you can drive to the supermarket or laundry dry-cleaner without being labelled as an overkill. This highly regarded family hatch does nought to hundred under 5 seconds, creeping into Porsche 911 category for less than half the price, something an adrenaline junkie dad can seriously consider for his next ride.

There's a new kid on the block and it is immensely bold and sophisticated, yet at the same time emanates geek culture when seated inside. This is the new 276bhp AWD Arteon R-Line gran turismo, powered by a 2.0L turbocharged TSI engine pushing 350 Nm of torque, and paired to the quick-shifting 7-speed DSG. Century run a respectable 5.6s. A Dynaudio sound system comes standard in the R-Line package. In other words, the Arteon is born to assault the premium car marques.

We can't believe the current model of the VW Scirocco is celebrating a decade old in a year's time. In all honesty, car designer Walter de Silva, has done an exceptional job on the Scirocco with a design that withstood the test of time. Like most owners of this sleek, low riding coupe, XY is passionate about giving his roc a touch of individualism. And the result is what you are looking at now - an immaculately groomed Stage 1-tuned dark knight donning Brembo BBK with yellow calipers on forged Breytons rims - that we shot over the lunar new year period.
