The taigo is better equipped

Is it the same on the CDLB MK2 TTS?

Would have been more fun in a Eunos.

Idiot, just change to SPORT MODE or TRACK Mode and do not senseless talk about nothing. good evening

Would love if simple stuff could be automated by voice, such as setting cruise control, preparing for parking, change driving mode, providing fuel notifications and economy of use/driving updates, tire pressure status etc over sensors feedback. We've had this voice control feature and it struggles to show a really great use case. With ChatGPT? So what? I barely use mine in the R.

The spark plug piece was a bit too quick but overall nice work. I wonder how to change the gear oil. What VW part number that is and where to find the plugs for filling and drain? Some say you could fill the oil from above thru a long hose but I assume it is somewhere below the car. Would be fantastic if you could reply in the comment section before shooting a video.

bring back a manual

Porsche is 500 HP or something, Ferrari is what? 700-800?

Should I choice a 2022 A3 40TFSI- E over TFSI if they cost me almost same?

It converted me, it’s better built and engineered in every way.

Buying a 2025 in black, may do something about that tri exhaust tho it is a bit much

He cooked that Golf R

Don’t understand why VW is so popular here in Denmark. They are not that high in reliability

Great review. Considering trading my UP GTI for one of these with the 1.5 engine. Just not sure Im ready to part with my UP

I thought the black edition it comes with akrapovic exhaust and spinning rim caps with the R logo with biggest rims option also biggest wing option alzo idk what other options it got tbh but i just want a VW golf r 8.5 black edition with every single options

Interesting comparison. We did that trip a couple of months ago in our old A4 B7 TDI Estate (2.0 Avant with 170 bhp) and we averaged just over 50 mpg. I can't wait to get one of these S4s... almost the same mpg as my current wagon, but soooo much faster! :) 70 mph in our car is 2k rpms in 6th.

VW～nice car ❤❤❤😊😊😊

Looks like a pile of crap to me, boring and bland, it's almost painful to look at compared to a mark 7 clubby 3 door in white. Honestly, this R looks like a Golf CL Base, does nothing for me at all.

Audio is really poor, just doesn’t sound natural.

Are these OZ-rims 18 inch? With 235/40 or 245/40 tires? Has the TCR shorter gear-ratios?

What should i Buy as a track weapon? New Yaris GR or Golf R 2024? Have a M3 Touring as a daily in addition to the future track car.

Price?

Base price here in Germany is 27k and 58k for the R

Biggest problem here is that the majority of the audience are vw fans. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Get it, its a vw channel primarily, Good on yah . Just seems a shame, though, that we dont seem to have the petrol head that can appreciate other car makers anymore and what they do. Instead we get disapproval. Remember life would be boring if everybody and everything was the same. Lets just for once appreciate every car makers take on a sporty hatch i say.

Black Edition or black series. I forgot the name

The R Black series looks finally not like junk. But I would go for the new Rs3. Much more torque and power

yall all wrong mk1 is the best 💀💀

Im in a 1st generation gr yaris cp it cost me 34k ! I could not afford the latest yaris up 11k in 3 years 😢 good job im still in love with it ❤

Picked up an 2017 S3 FL DSG with FASH and 1 Audi year service plan and warranty recently with reasonable miles for 14k. Seeing this doesnt make me feel like I'm missing out

Hi. I have a mk8 estate R with performance pack. They did make them. Just very rare. Black edition looks nice . Tempted

My 2017 Mk7.5 estate R has an Eco mode.

4:45 About the tiresizes: Can I put 235/40 tires on 7,5J 18 inch Austin rims?

You’re now my ‘go to’ for info on VW performance golf’s. I’ll be keeping an eye out for the order books open and will probably be saying bye bye to my BMW 330i. Great car, but now that I’m in the market for a new car BMW have ditched most of their engines. So VW appeal to me once again, after having owned mk5 &6 GTI’s. Great cars. Thanks for this video. Dave

Performance car with cast calipers single pot, standard golf chassis, no proper differential, what you paying for? The badge, oh and the interior wow...And people say the FL5 is expensive, it's a different league to this bag.

Still hasnt grown on me the 8 or the 8.5.....the styling just doesnt float by barge. If my lotto numbers came in Id go for a late 7.5

They had one job: put real knobs back. Proper chunky ones. Instead it is AI and voice recognition gimmicks. Insane complexity.

Nice but they should of made a 3 door mk8 much nicer

Thanks for video but my 2024 8r estate has performance pack you said it wasn't available it was well I've got it 👍

i have the 7.5 estate r on a 67 plate it goes like the bomb lol i had the car 2 weeks and got a speeding fine with 40 years driving i never got a point it shows you how good it is .

Wonderful car so much tech Is this the last R Beast of a car I still have my 18yr old R32 and love it For me I would buy a 8.5 GTI ticks all the boxes:) VDub

I think I’m a bit underwhelmed, or maybe I expected too much. I thought maybe it would have 345PS or 350PS. The Mk8 had more than the equivalent S3 and Leon, and now they all have the same. I believe the pre-facelift Leon had the same as the Mk8 GTI Clubsport. Now a bit more, as the Clubsport remains unchanged. And they also scrapped the GTD it seems, haven’t heard anything about it. Though a small part of me hopes they are understating the figures, I prefer when manufacturers are honest about this stuff. And a bigger part of me hopes that the Clubsport and R have been held back for a potential Mk8.5 Clubsport S that will have the power I expected from the R.

Front end design is ruined. Not only is the design ugly and looks half-assed, but there's so many wide gap spaces in the front grill that i'd be afraid of anything getting caught in there while driving. Not to mention, I'm almost positive there will be more aftermarket front end options for the mK8R who want a more refreshed look. Also, the huge child's ipad in the dash is comical. Maybe it's suited towards the boomers who complained about the infotainment in the mk8R after being in it for literally 5 f*cking minutes lmao. To be fair, I do like the rear taillights on the mk8.5R more. But I heard those will be retro-fitted in the mk8R.

Thanks Andrew great review once again, I do enjoy my mk8 GTi and really have no problem with the haptics, keep up the good work.

This is a let down 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ I wouldn't even think about getting one I'm moving on from golf's now! Sad!

If its 60.000 euro here in belgium, then its DOA, dead on arrival, because for less now, you can get a tesla model 3 performance! And that car leaves the golf R in the dust.....

That big iPad in the middle of the dash will date very quickly and looks terrible imo

hmmm. says seats are alright, they are probably some of the best seats in a production car out right now. Talks about the fake vent out back but does not mention that every other vent is actually functional, also the wing is functional. Talks about interior but its actually a great interior, the red carpets are wicked and way better than all the dumb touch screen stuff that manufacturers are putting on their cars now a days. Also this car is pretty subdued, appart from the wing and the tripple exhaust its a wide body civic, its pretty handsome too, honda hit the nail in the head.

Not sure about the front redesign, think I preferred the Mk8, especially the intakes.

Why are manufacturers making such shit cars the past year? In Ireland a standard r-line 1.5l is €38,000 - not looking forward to thr price of the R

Genuinely wish they stuck in the 5 pot from the RS3 for the final ice golf. Not enough to make me upgrade from a 7.5 otherwise.
