I’m of an age lol I had the original GTI 1976 brand new it was a revelation to drive if I remember it had 108BHP. But it weighed only 810KG and the handling was epic go kart like and most importantly put a huge smile on my face when driving. My Son has a new Golf R and yes it’s faster better brakes more power modern Tech 4 wheel drive BUT back to back driving the Mk1 handles way better no where near as fast but puts a bigger smile on my face. Having said that the Golf’s still a helluva car tho love this colour but where are the Tartan Cloth seats that is a must in a GTI 👍
Purchased the wrong model. i have had 2 Golf Rs. now got a GTI TCR same fun as the old one. we have had them for over 30 years. your right the R tuned was very fast. the TCR is a lot more playful. and has the dash without the silly slide controls,
Contenuti veramente da top di gamma..... Esteriormente il frontale non mi entusiasma 😐 quella grande griglia a nido d'ape... pure finta nelle parti terminali..... Si poteva fare meglio
Very nice , but I’m going to hold out for the MK9 , I heard it’s getting a 32 inch infotainment screen. Ideally I’d like something the size of a hotel room tv.
So let me get this right. The only return to physical buttons are all on the steering wheel? The infotainment, though much larger, along with climate controls, media browsing, etc, are all touch screen?
Man those steering wheel buttons the same shitty plastic that only comes in a full assembly so if one button breaks you pay 800$. Only used the steering wheel volume up button in my gti for like a week and it got stuck
@ORGCars would it be so hard to include the name of track/artist of the background music particularly when your channel clickers and subscribers are asking you to do ???
I have a white mk7 manual 220 cv and I think is beautiful. But this mk8 don't dislike. Maybe interiors are not as good as 7 with tartan, but seems a very good Gti too
6m55s - Fit and finish quality issue on the steering column cowl in front of the indicator stalk.You'd think on a press car shown to the world medi they'd get the basics right?
3 things i dont like 1- the front bumper is chunky with no fog lights 2-screen is bigger than expected and u cant hide it like audi 3- exhaust sound not improved and the rest of the car is very good😍😍😍
For the people commenting about the Alfa Romeo-like wheels: This is supposed to be an ode to the Mk5/Mk6 wheels. But... Alfa used the rounded 5 spoke designs earlier on their cars tho. Thats a fact you can't get around. To all the VW fanboys: Quit it. The MK5/MK6 GTI wheels are more smooth compared to the wheels from Alfas. The modern catch on the MK5/MK6 wheels does make it look more like an Alfa wheel because it has the added depth to it. The roundness of the design doesn't suit the design language of the MK8 (GTI).
Yeah. People with brains have noticed that EVs are actually catastrophic to the environment. But the leftist idiots with blind eyes will always push the narrative. Even Volvo who makes lots of EVs have published the data that the carbon footprint of a new C40 recharge is 70% more than a petrol XC40. 70%! And it will only be offset after 70000miles of use. Good gracious. Not to mention toxic mining and deforestation to make the heavy batteries. Human beings truly are a strange species.
Em termos de design, o para-choque fronteiro virou uma grade que parece ser de plástico preto, as rodas ficaram estranhas quando você olha o carro de lateral em relação aos modelos anteriores, e no geral lembra os hatchs como o astra. Na minha humilde opinião, o design deste carro não está acima do GTI de 2016
What is wrong in using simple buttons. I choosed the i30n over the gti. well it looks a little bit outdated but it´s simple, intuitive and practical. Ok, i wished they put a LCD screen into the gauge cluster but i can life with that. The Golf has become what Germany is today.
Aber zum ersten Mal sehe ich einen klaren Fehler. Die Abdeckung unter dem Lenkrad ist nicht richtig festgezogen. Die Schrauben sind nicht so festgezogen, wie sie sollten. Die Abdeckung, in der sich der Lichtschalter befindet und die Höhe des Lenkrads nach oben und unten steuert Daune hat ein klares Loch.🤔
Exterior changes look good. Hilarious amount of cheap, gloss black plastic still being used in the interior. Never thought I'd see the day where Kia and Hyundai had VW beat with interior materials
Magnificent machine, love the music in this video as well, absolutely magnificent. Especially the music after the engine sounds.
die Musik könnte von Vangelis sein . Ein wahrer Weltmeister seiner Klasse .
yes you right
Ok, but not as nice as my GTI Clubsport MK7. Esp as its modded..

old ones are nothing like the news golfs..newer golfs are a refined everday car
👌👌 Stunning GTI love it
Love the scary monster headlights and grill. Sweet ride. Never thought id say that about a four door hatch

@giuseppebrigida6831 can you translate to Engish please
So beauty. Eternal.❤
The huge screen spoils the look
UGLY
This is one reason why i prefer my GTI Clubsport MK7 over the newer models. Another reason is the Custom Exhaust... (Invidia dp / Cobra Sport catback)
Dreaming in minutes maybe one day❤❤
That BIG screen in the middle... unnecesary.
True, it is very disturbing 🤞🏽
C'mon that's not that big
I love it personally
Very nice , but I’m going to hold out for the MK9 , I heard it’s getting a 32 inch infotainment screen. Ideally I’d like something the size of a hotel room tv.
I heard on the mk9 you'll actually drive by making swipe gestures on the screen.
you are so smart, expect it is coming soon.
Too much tech these days.
Jest Piękny prze piękny Moje marzenie 👌👌👍👍
Dla mnie tragedia i tandeta ostatnie gti to 6, 7.
A ta klapa na kij to żart.

They've nailed it,when is 8.5 R coming out?
Emeğine yüreğine sağlık gardasim kolay gelsin ❤😂🎉😢
Wunderschönes Fahrzeug!
@ORGCars would it be so hard to include the name of track/artist of the background music particularly when your channel clickers and subscribers are asking you to do ???
Amazing car
Stupenda
Does this come with the standard SOS/traffic alert errors that require your car to stuck in the garage for two months???...
Just shows you how good the golf 7 is
When I seen the MK7.5 I knew it was going to be difficult for VW to beat it in terms of exterior & interior quality.
I have a white mk7 manual 220 cv and I think is beautiful. But this mk8 don't dislike. Maybe interiors are not as good as 7 with tartan, but seems a very good Gti too
Nope,golf design is getting better overtime.maybe you are an old mind that have difficulty to accept modern designs.
@@dadangkkurniawan8442Agreed. And I own a Mk7. The new Mk8 looks nice and modern while the Mk7 is starting to look a bit dated.
@@NJRacer623 stop the drugs. Mk 8 is hideous. Mk7.5 all day
It looks very cool!!
Golf GTI 2024 um fantástico carro,eu Edgar desejo ter um... Deus abençoe.
QUAIS SÃO AS CORES DISPONÍVEIS PARA MODELO GTI?IMAGINE UM AZUL 😍
I like the new front lights, much better than the original gen 8 front lights.
I like it. Apart from the badges on the side.
Stupenda😍
把儀表螢幕和中控螢幕結合成一整片曲面大螢幕會更好看,類似像BMW 3 Series, M-BENZ A-Class
🔥 🔥 🔥
not gonna get rid of my 7.5 but nice car and nice video 👍
I have a 7.5 as well. Mk7.5 to me is definitely the best looking.
7.5 all day ❤
Un coche increíble, algún día ese será mi coche 😌
Carro espetacular

looks dope
Dans la mignature elle est rabaissé lol beau montage
El Golf r 👉va a ser una bestia 📺👀💪🏻
Superb!
I will get one! 😊
It's super ❤
Not my color, but looks great and improved. Piano black console looks cheap. I miss the golf ball.
i Agree, MK7.5 has much better interior quality
Incroyable
3 things i dont like
1- the front bumper is chunky with no fog lights
2-screen is bigger than expected and u cant hide it like audi
3- exhaust sound not improved
and the rest of the car is very good😍😍😍
Amo esse carro
How do I play videos through the media with android play? TIA ...
Looks great with those alfa wheels way much better than last year's..
Where on earth do you find your music?

Love it in blue or black
Damn that screen is hella big 😮
golf gti never fail
I am going to bet they will keep the diesel and gasoline despite what they are saying and this wont be the last version!
Hhh yes

A bit of commentary would have been better than the audio. Take us through the GTI???
Даааа, Роскошь и совершенство и это всё о нём
Still a step back in quality from a MK7.5
will threre be an R?
Remote start?
Most Popular Car in South Africa VW Polo&Golf
Beautiful car I love it❤
I think they should have pushed gti 8 more, they could've waited longer
6:57 what is that wheel's bar plastic is not perfectly sealed.
Mega
Wow! What a nice Kia!
Where is my 6-speed manual transmisdion? It s/b available don't you think?
Dropped the manual
This is a 2025. Vw also said no manuals in 2025.
Yes, but a manual is an obvious choice for a GTi or R, I think
cant wait for the r to come out as a estate .
Nice
VW should update software appearance for all supported previous golf 8 - with bigger display (10.2”) and internet.
Why it's so calming like the PS4 and PS5
If you’re buying one of these brand new why not just spend the extra few bucks and get the Clubsport variant?
Bei 6:45 bis einer halben Minute können Sie klar sehen
That front grill-cum-bumper is gonna be expensive to repair when that gets bashed or scraped.
TOP 👍
I wish these machines had 2.8 vr6 motors its was gonna be the topest range of VW range
I agree to give options like the good old days. I love the VR6. Let it be an option
Had a MK4 R32 😢 wish I still did 😢
pleace no!! 2.0Tsi has so much better performence
Drop in a VR6 for the GTI front wheel drive.
Drop in a twin turbo VR6 for the Golf R!
And I will buy it!

Beautiful. Better than the last one.
I like this car. Unfortunately I can't afford it
Wo ist die Plakette im Kotflügel vorne? 😮
It's a pity that now that they've fixed the look of the 8 series, they've also removed the manual.
Vusumuzi ❤ I like how much in south Africa 😂😂😂 Red ox💯🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥
Nunca um carro desse vai vim pro Brasil 😢
Q carro e esse meu Deus q nave espetacular adora VW
Hopefully more reliable, less buggy than the 8
Still no GTI kick plates for the facelift GTI. A bit of bummer!
Greatest hatchback ever
The screen is very large. Could have made it more compact and added length to it instead breadth. Wouldn’t have looked so huge then.
How much does it even go for ?
Golf 8.5 ?

Ainda está anos luz dos importados, tipo Audi, BMW, Mercedes e Porsche!!!
VW is imported and parent company to Audi
Swift Sport rims :P

اللهم ارزقنا ❤
I really hate that laptop screen at the center it's really disturbing, the previous model was better
That laptop stuck on the dashboard wtf?
Poor QC on 7:00. Watch the neck of the steering wheel. Is this a gap?
This must have all options ticked and be well over 50k
Gin Tonic and ice. A. Must have
No manual transmission is a dealbreaker for me 😤
