Just wondering i have a hesitation issue with my golf R (feels like its in limp mode) when slowing down approaching a roundabout then put my foot down to pull away quickly it sometimes just bogs down...i also had this issue with my polo gti. It's very scary when not expecting it...obviously don't happen all the time, but to be similar in both vw performance cars is disappointing.

[@yannrezk5735]

although they endid their production, does it mean that trying to buy them will be difficult cuz theyre not really in stock or smth? i was planning on buying one in 2years what do you think?

[@andrewdoble7973]

We’re there options for the golf r 7/7.5

[@ramonvasquez3503]

Damn so here in America the 7.5 started in 2018?

[@anony-mousex]

wtf is 'primary' and 'secondary' 'ride'?

[@themilesdriven]

Primary ride is affected by larger bumps and disturbances on the road and challenges how well the chassis deals with them, secondary is the smaller vibration and harshness that may be noted either in addition to inadequacies in the primary ride or will stand out prominently if a vehicle has a great primary ride but poor secondary and is more to do with small vibrations. In measuring them the primary ride would be about 3hz, whereas secondary upto 25hz.
Both affect the confidence in a vehicle chassis and achieving it on a car that has a shell used for everything from a small capacity diesel to an all wheel drive hot hatchback is challenging 👍

​@@themilesdriven thanks mate - really good video, learnt something new with the R400.. Shame the pathetic EU stepped in and crushed all our dreams

[@themilesdriven]
