Ah, you want a "hot hatch". Golf R? AWD (though probably a FWD bias), manual option, 2 or 4 door, 256hp.

Yes, but there are way too many "hot hatches" that are not available in the US. If it was a turbo version of the 5 cylinder, it would be near perfect. As is, it is either too heavy or not enough power. I think they went with the 4 cylinder because a 5 cylinder version would put the TT RS to shame on performance/price.
