I love the video! I think a better performance comparison with the Type R would be the GTI Clubsport since it's also FWD and has around the same power. The Type R starts around $46K MSRP here in the states and is almost guaranteed a healthy dealer markup. The MK8 Golf R is in the same MSRP price range here in America with similar power, but with AWD.
Genuinely missed this channel, and Tyler. I wish it posted more, as the videos always have passion and concise information.

In the United States the Type R is 1.5 times more expensive that the Gti.
