I still feel like the car is ugly but I think it's cool that Nissan did such a project I mean you could consider this project Frankenstein

Damn 10L/100km that’s shocking.

For me in an 18 R 7.5 Stage 1 Galano in eco comfort and normal modes there’s no difference what’s so ever. I still get it as low as 6-7L/100km in race mode it’s around 12L and still get 500km to a tank

Blk dud in a golf r is crazy

This guy js wasting money on gas just to get subscribers, lol.

Let’s gooo we in canadaaaaa💪🏽i’m in ontario as well i have a 2019 GTI

Is it tuned? or stock ecu/tcu?

Help a brother out....$87 is one of the reasons I went with a GTI...average 10L per 100 km and tuned to 350hp, highway is closer to 6.5L/100 km. But that R sounds so sweet.

Only 370 hp? Stage 1 23 R is 272 kw

Broo the way u drive the car u will not have a good fuel effiency for effiencienncy stick to 2k rpm everything above will suck you tank dry

Great video man, sure you know, but you can also click the gear stick towards you to have the DSG in normal drive whilst keeping the sound, throttle response etc from race mode. This is what I do on my GTI so it isn't so high in the rev range all the time :)

Winter tire size+setup?

Great video!

Amazing video!! Thank you. Very in depth

awesome test once again! Thanks for doing it! Im glad that for the test's purposes you stuck to letting the DSG shift itself, but totally agree that for normal-driving situations in Race mode, it's best with the paddles. My commute to work is Normal mode and Drive leaving my neighborhood (for the quiet exhaust), then once I get on the main roads I flip it to Race and Manual with paddles. It's just so much more engaging/ fun of an experience 🙂

Looks like fuel is on par with Australia cost wise. Our 98oct which is your 93 octane is $1.75 a litre at the moment. And I subscribed!

Good test! I'm sure race mode is meant to be the mode where you're actively having fun on those curve roads & corners, so it makes sense it would end up using a little more fuel since your revs are much higher with the transmission eager to downshift.

I prefer the one you originally had for my car it’s cheap looks good and feels great in hand maybe you needed to clean yours or it was just a bad example of one

So it's basically the hellcat of the 20th century

best vid so far love the ending 🔥🔥

my fuel economy is 18-20 rn 😥

love the video's hyped to see the content you drop this year

omg he are clueless that he killing his own engine* drive on mode normal or sport* not the mention he drive eco mode on winter it's stup.. LUL i don't give sh!t about gasoil i prefer over good healty engine that all... the real one know what i mean*

Eco mode on the R works when coasting (letting off the gas) the revs will drop to 1200rpm saving fuel.

Boosts late on eco mode, so pretty much ur driving off boost so saving petrol

I drove it on ECO from full tank to almost empty and did almost 600km (373 miles)

I had an MK7 Golf R, stage 1 tuned. The 2016 car did not have ECO mode, just normal mode and sporting modes. Also, only had 6 gears with the DSG. I was getting 600km to 650km easily!! I don't why yours is so bad. And 600km was in winter, I'm in Toronto...

MY juke is ugly

Canada? You used kms and litres.

I have a Acura Integra 96 can someone take a pic of the wire on the back of the obd mine is just unpin laying under my dash.

Im running a stage 3 golf r. 502hp to the crank but i can get 600km to a tank in race mode. Saying that its a manual so its more efficient.

And who the f drives a golf r in eco mode lol

So i should be happy with my mk7 in comfort/race all the time in town stays around 12L/100km 😂😂

91 Octane in a GOLF R? Surley that's gonna cause some engine damage! VW Reccommend 98 for GTI/R and 95 for everything ekse.

the warning lights are really self inflicted and speak nothing to the reliability of the Golf R ive had a stock one for 5 years now never seen any warning lights whats so ever its been a turn key experience

my 7R is tuned to 400hp and on eco mode in a 70kmh commute for 25km, I have achieved no lie 6.7l/100 on the way home

i managed to get 8.56 L/100km or 33 UK MPG on a trip.

Use cruise control, you will win km :)

One thing that is missing or I am not sure in the video, as it seems you put more highway mileage when doing the normal mode run. Maybe more city run for the eco mode causing it poorer on gas?

Looking for one at the moment

Why is the car consuming so much? My Seat Leon Cupra (ST) is way heavier, bigger, has also awd and does 6.4l on big roads, on 19 inch too. Now on Cold weather it will do 7-8

Now try race mode like I said last video

@13:10 get that sponsor my brudda💯🤘

love the experiment! Well done! You're totally right that Eco mode works best once you're on the highway and cruising. Around town I can't do it lol. The Eco Mode shift logic's strategy of keeping the RPMs as low as possible and the constant sensation that the engine is struggling to go from such low RPMs gives me anxiety, lol. Mine just stays in Normal or Race modes, and maybe 95% of the time I'm shifting with the paddles. Rarely in Automatic mode. Keep up the great work!

eco mode = right foot

Your R uses too much fuel, on mine I get 650 to 700km at 7.7-8.7L on normal mode

I keep mine in comfort mode the majority of the time (crappy roads) and it is already pretty efficient. I would even say it prioritizes economy too much as it upshifts through the gears quickly and can be very sluggish when you actually need to get on the throttle. Eco mode, imo, is definitely more suited for highway driving as it will disengage the clutches when coasting.

do you want a VW tuner i know a guy near you (ps like the flow of the video editing is getting better )

Fire

Also, the best way to warm up the car according to VW is starting the car, letting the RPMs drop then driving the car softly (under 2k RPM) until its up to temps. The temp on the gauge cluster is your coolant gauge and it will heat up quickly if you have the Heat/AC off for the first couple minutes of your drive. Once your oil is above 85"c youll be good to go. Idling your car (especially turboed cars) is not good at all and it will take forever to heatup the car causing more wear (because the engine is cold)
