4. 2008 Volkswagen R32
Editors' rating: 7.3
The good: The 2008 Volkswagen R32 delivers more power and better handling than you would expect from a hot hatchback, and it is a fine looking car.
The bad: iPod integration is a hack, using the stereo's CD changer port, and so not able to show song information. Worse, iPod integration, included with the subpar navigation system, takes away the six-disc changer.
The bottom line: The poor cabin electronics in the 2008 Volkswagen R32 keep it from being a great tech car, but its drivetrain tech makes up somewhat for that lost ground. However, there are many good sport sedans that come in around the same price.
