    The Golf R shown is the Mk7 and runs a completely different engine than the Scirocco R. Golf R Mk7 has a Dual port injected TSI EA888 Gen 3 engine. Hence the more power (depending on country)
    The Scirocco R has the TFSi that runs on a cambelt.

    They had a missed opportunity to make it a awd to compete better with the a45, i30n etc. Awd would have made it 1 million times better.

    • @RossReviewsau

    • @thesilentgametestr
      @thesilentgametestr 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Despite numerous information of it being made out to be 3 door as in a way it is, they are also classed as coupes, so I wouldn't say they were in the same category for that reason alone which is why all the comparisons have the gold version in them. They should've made an AWD version even with the non R models. I've owned my stock 2012 1.4 TSI 122 for couple weeks and love it, but even on stock power an AWD system would suit it,. Obviously the 160hp 1.4 and 2ltr models would suit AWD even more.

    • @Ghost_7rr
      @Ghost_7rr 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      one love you can upload software into the ECU to unleash the cars full potential. So for example at standard they run at 265bhp, mine is remapped at Stage 1 so mine is at 320bhp. Any remap above Stage 1 (stage 2+ etc) you’ll need to change hardware. But basically the stock engine is capable of A LOT more than the manufacturer allows from factory.

      DSG gearbox is much faster than manual. Sure, manual is fun and driver engaging but DSG is much better. I wouldn't call it automatic when it's still a manual gearbox with dial clutch. You don't see people reviewing R8 and lambos with manual boxes do you?
