      So. You buy the Golf & pay for a mild tune from Revo or Cobb (3-6k). Invest the difference to offset any costs you might have from not having a warranty any longer. And if nothing serious breaks, then in 3 years you'll have 12 to 15k more in your pocket and a faster car to boot, not counting returns on investment (because that is too unpredictable).

    I've been waiting for this one, I've been saying that the AMG A45S is still the hot hatch to beat. These other guys just don't know how to drive

    Nearly £20k difference yet the Golf still sounds so much better. Not sure how AMG have managed to make such an impressive engine sound so dull.

    That Golf R is making way more then advertised thats for sure. The a45 (with 100 more hp supposedly)was barely pulling on it and its only 7% heavier with 31% more power 🤔. Plus it trapped almost 160 in the standing mile. You're not doing that with 320hp at the crank. You'll be lucky to do that with 320 to the wheels.

    17k more for „100 PS“ more, and the result is 0.3 sek faster on the drag? No thanks, the Golf is a great and very quality Car.

      Just swap to Wagner Tuning intercooler, HG Motorsports biggest carbon intake & swap the turbo inlet while your at it & obviosly tune it. Check the tuned GTI Clubsport on my channel! 👍
