Go test drive a new S3, its has gen4 haldex (same as the golf r)
I know how the S3 drives...and fully expect the Golf R to be similar...but some were suggesting it was some radical new 4WD system that can somehow sent 100% torque to the rear...which it plainly cannot do.
Nothing wrong with how it operates...but it's not some magical semi-RWD Golf!
I think too many people read too much into the VW press blurb! It's a bit like when the mk6 GTI was released and people thought it had some magical limited slip diff when all it really has is a clever traction control system.
