Vw pos breaks down all the time and expensive idk why people buy this shit
when the Subaru is better in every way ?
I’ve owned a WRX and a Mk5 GTI. They were both very quick but in the WRX
the cops would pull me over and look over the car, looking for illegal mods
or something (it was stock). The GTI is totally stealth which means you can
hoon more.
The WRX had a fairly small power band and was brutal when the turbo kicked
in. It also understeered as AWD cars often do but slow in fast out
cornering fixes that.
The GTI just pulled like a train all through the power band and didn’t stop
untill around 230km/h. The faster you went in the GTI the better it felt
but it was still comfortable to drive. The grip in corners was awesome and
the seats held me in place really well.
As a daily driver the Golf was very refined, the WRX was noisy and cheap
feeling in comparison. Plus the Golf GTI is still a Golf so you can fit 3
adults in the back or carry heaps of stuff with the seats down.
I didn’t have any mechanical problems with the GTI, it had a full service
record. The DSG is fully sorted now and mine never gave me any problems.
I learned my lesson with the WRX. The WRX had been mistreated by an earlier
owner and eventually the bottom end let go. I bought it even though it had
no service record with it. Bad move.
After I sold the GTI I regretted it and I am looking for a Mk6 or 7 or
maybe even an R now.?
These guys need to review the 2015 R when it arrives in the US, a massive
improvement in the mk7. Most powerful R ever.?
Paul, you said you want this car to cost less or do more. Over here in
Europe you can get a 4-door Golf R with DSG and 60K miles for 20K Euro. The
Evo sells at the same price if not even higher. I wonder how you would
judge the Golf R with those options (that you can’t get in the US
unfortunatelly), expecially considering the greater practicality of a
hatchback and the possibility to easy ecu tune the R to the stock hp level
of the Evo.?
i love my mk6?
The scandal is, it’s 35 K. someone should be shot for pricing it that high
for being so slow.?
thats why i got the gti instead of the R?
I agree with you Paul…..?
My daily driver is a 2010 GTI, completely stock at the moment and yet I
have never thought the engine is gutless. Daily driving there is enough
power before boost to do what you need and when driving enthusiastically
and keeping the engine on boost there is more than enough power to have
fun, and if you want more for about 300 dollars you can get an ecu tune. Of
couse this is with the GTI but i cant see it being worse in the R. ?
vw makes audi. you know that right?
why did you put a vw instead of an audi in this review audi are famous for
quattro vw isn’t known for good awd ?
Honestly, the only thing that pisses me off about modern cars is FWD, it
fucking sucks. It should be a lock down all wheel drive or rear wheel
drive.?
Best review yet! I picked my Golf R because of interior and outside not
being so gaudy… and not to mention expandable power gain! I have APR, (
that alone added MPG and massive power) Forge Twintake & Forge Bypass,
Remap of Traction function to be turned off when I want.. and have Down
pipe with Forge Twin cooler to be installed… It’s power when I want it,
and a easy driver when I want it, best of both worlds. I love the car the
more I drive it. I have beat any car, so far, that tries to take me..lol..
even with my bike in the rack on top..lol.. love the suprise faces on V8
owners as I pass them, priceless! On winding roads it’s amazing.. handles
so well… though I do think my old Rx8 was more balanced and lower, it
never had the power to pull out of curves like the R. Love the review…
would love to see a stage 3 APR review by these guys, they did a good job! ?
liking the changing two person review/perspective?
why not ralliart. ?
I don’t consider any point made in this video to be valid. Absolutely
horrible.
I dont know about hiring these guys, but topgear US does suck though
Saying the Evo is full time AWD is incorrect: The ACD only engage at
certain time during cornering where it can send up to 50% torque to the
rear wheel. The Subaru is the only car here with a ‘full time’ AWD system
which can send more torque to the back wheels.
I’d love a golf r if I had more money, the gti is like 10k less
To each is own. I love my Golf R. I admit that VW held it back on the power
when it was sold in the U.S. It just costed me about $200 for an APR
software tune and it’s 100 times better. I guess maybe it’s all in what
you’re looking for. The Evo and the Subaru are definitely cars that scream
at everyone on the road that they’re fast both in looks and sound.
Although, the Evo and the Subaru definitely have a cheap plasticky feel and
look to them at the same time.
How about Golf R vs A3?
Fortunately I am a proud owner of a Golf R with DSG gearbox.. I cannot
understand why VW doesn’t sell the R with DSG in the US?? It is MUCH faster
than the manual gearbox (0-60 takes 5.5 sec) and the gear changes are
almost instant. Btw, the US should start updating their fuel, 91 octane
just won’t cut it anymore. On RON95 the golf R prduces 270 HP, and on RON98
even more
Chip it and get rid of that German conservative mindset when they release
this car to the public. Obviously easily capable of much more power which
solves all the issues you have about the R.
With that in mind – For similar money you can get into a entry level 3
series which is faster, bigger, more fuel efficient, more stylish and
probably better made.
