@Tony Stark . Can’t work out why though . Those basic stats are familiar to any petrol head and whilst the comparative races are great it would be even better , and really easy to produce some bald figures to go with them .

@@prithvireddy6318 ya the interior of that golf is absolutely terrible. Cheap hard shiny plastics everywhere, thick bezels . Just terrible all around, very poor effort from VW.
The Golf R is fantastic because it’s so under the radar yet so fun to drive and performance oriented. Truly the perfect car to blend right in, I love that aspect of it
I can already imagine it... "so... what happened. The yannibikester found it difficult to get off the line and the Matbike got ahead. At the 30 yard line the yannibikester's all leg drive caught up and tore past the Matbike"
Stage 1 the R, and you've got a tidy motor for under 40K I would take the R, over the Rs3 & 45, as you have plenty of change to add more personal mods, and to make your car more unique 😉

Why on earth do you think the world has been waiting for this race? two cars in completely different leagues. You did not need watch this to know the outcome.
@@mindst50mm54 that’s not exactly correct as not a vw sycophant if you had watched his video on his own golf r experience you would know this - and vw golf mk8 is a good car
Considering the huge price difference the Golf R is seriously impressive. In real world driving conditions there’s probably very little in it performance wise. You can buy far nicer used cars for almost 60k, Aston Martin, Porsche 911, Nissan GT-R etc
Yeah, I mean the Golf in general is a practical hatchback, so no one is going to use it for performance except car enthusiasts, but what it does have in performance is great for what it did against this A45 S ~
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).
Hey Mat. The microphone not working was fine, I think it actually let us hear more of the car noise from inside! Haha. I really enjoyed this episode, the Golf R sounds wicked!!
I would like to see you drag race the Golf R against Volkswizard’s GTI clubsport and a Mercedes A35. The clubsport might not win off the line but I bet the rolling start might be close.
I’m starting to the think the Gold R press cars weren’t completely stock. Other than when they were first released, the golf R’s always put up slower numbers than before. Seems fishy to me
Every time in a video when Matt smiles and says "Hi, how are you? Matt Watson here from CarWow!" - for a moment I genuinely think he's talking to me. That's how natural and direct Matt's delivery is and I love it.
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.
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! 👍

Pls Do that German accent as often as you can, I love it 🙏🏼😂
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! 👍
