Great review, very thorough! Maybe one day like your old channel some old bangers could get a test. Good reality check for the audience who realise an SUV 0-100 in 5secs is rapid vs an XR8 😎
There is a trend for everything to be touch screen.. I don't like it.. I prefer physical buttons especially for climate control.. I find pressing buttons and switches more satisfying
Let's see which of the 2 is going in 5 years 😅 These Chinese brands are yet to prove their reputation, and they're yet to prove they can build a car than can handle or stop safely
That is like saying why buy a BMW 530i when you can get a V6 Camry? They are both sedans with adequate power. There is a lot more to a car than that though. Go sit in one, drive one, use one and you'll feel and see the difference.
Great review Brett. We’ve moved away from VW after a decade or so of VW cars for the family. Brilliant when new. Costly with a few kms on the clock.
Great review as per usual, mate - good to get an up close and personal view at the R

Thanks! Yes, I will try to test more old stuff asap.
Dumped all my VW’s due to drop in real qsulity…but still have my 2020 V8 tdi…the last diesel monster I think theyll ever do
I thought you'd add that they are also a bunch of convicted criminals.
Yeah it is so sad what a piece of plastic garbage the modern day golf has become too. Years ago they actually were good cars.
Great review!
@@boomcr7302 Thanks 👍
I have a 22kw at home, seems like yesterday I had a 265 Charger at home.
Nice looking SUV, however I still much prefer the current X3-X5 M40i the B58 pretty to beat, and much better buy for the money.
Better drive too.

I think it was sheep in wolf’s clothing Brett. 😛
VW in Australia 🤪
I think I’d rather buy the new Lexus GX 550, and save $10k
Why did you switch from pdrivetv to driving enthusiast
Lack of support from current owners, and more freedom/flexibility with my own channel.
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia oh wow
R in name, L in nature.
If something goes wrong on the 0-100kph test, hard to avoid a tree.
You don't think Brett is capable of driving in a straight line?
Apart from it having a V6 sound I don't see how it is better than a 50 k BYD sealion 6. German automakers are just cashing in their legacy.
You've obviously never driven one.
