THANK YOU for your great demonstration. I just picked up my 2024 Golf R, and needed a video to get familiar with the driver assist system system as this is my first vehicle with such features. I'll be trying the launch control when the engine breaks in.
I find putting it into nurburgring mode, you get more and louder pops and bangs. Especially when letting off around 4 - 4.5 rpm. Had mine for almost a year and wasn't aware of the automatic lane change feature! Cool!
Great tips! Just picked up a '24 a few weeks ago and love it. I really regretted selling my MK6 GTI and couldn't be happier getting back into a Golf. I just wish VW gave us those tail lights here in Canada!
The Golf 8 R is not perfect but the looks and performance are really awesome. The best daily driver and sportcar since my other favourite Golf, the R32.
topspeed runs moet ge 's nachts doen nooit overdag tenzij ge u remmen snel wilt laten slijten. De beste autobahn die ik ken voor vmax runs zonder veel verkeer zelfs overdag is de A60 tussen prüm en wittlich.
@@Kugelfisch_-mn7st i mean our speed limit in Russia is only 100km an hour! Before we didnt care and drove like we wanted but last 15 years everywhere cameras so... useless cars for us.
Seems like performance pack is unavailable since some time. I ordered Golf 8R a month ago and have realized that I won't have the drift mode as well :( a bit bummed and haven't really found in the internet whether u can enable it or not somehow
@@szafrankk i had the same when i went to a volkswagen dealer. Thats why i chose a car they had in stock. I dont know the reason but i suspect its got to do with the new 8,5 coming up
It was definitely close. Also lucky i was not pushing the car at that moment. I did not because i read the traffic, it was quite busy and was looking out for exactly this to happen. To give the red t-roc some slack. It was busy, trucks in second lane. Normal he moves to third. No hard feelings 👍🏻
Yes apparently it is. If you look closely at the R logo projector light on the passenger side of the car (you even stopped there for a while around 1:42) the letter has a big white spot of light in the middle. The same thing happen with Cupra Formentor VZ (310 hp) and it’s a known issue. They repair the light projectors under warranty.
@@deniz-auto well that’s what I pointed out above, the light projector seems to be broken. I drive a Formentor VZ5 that has the logo light as well but a different one than the VZ (VZ5 symbol instead of Cupra logo), and have had no issues so far (around 15k km right now). If your car is still under warranty go to your dealer. They should fix this.
@@LordLookas yes but when i filmed it it wasnt like this. So it literally must have happened in the last days. Car got 28000km now. Ill call the dealer. Thanks man
Yeah i filmed it with a gopro inside the car. It went into winds noise reduction mode and you couldn’t hear anything anymore. You should watch my newest video, i put a gopro on the outside and it has a pure crazy exhaust sound. With loads of pops 👍🏻
Well sport mode is not useful at all. It should just let you decide for yourself what you want as the default mode. I’m pretty sure 90 percent of all golf R owners never use sport mode. But either R mode or comfort.
I would say this Golf R has an outstanding virtue and two deadful defects. The virtue being its gusty and powerful engine. The defects comprise a lack of a manual gearbox option and the horrendous abundance of digital screens that will age horribly as fads and tech move on to something completely different in not that many years.
Don't you worry too much.. Fossil cars will be illegal to drive in public roads in less than 10 years from now.. It will age in the scrap yards and perhaps museums..
@@andersnielsen6044 you are wrong. It will be illegal to sell petrol and diesel cars but people will be allowed to drive those cars, that has already been made clear in numerous EU parliament debates. No major political party is against the use of pre existing petrol and diesel cars. Also, the way things are going with electric cars, that date will ill have to be scraped as the vast majority of people aren't buying electric cars.
@@johnz4860 You are one hell of a naive human being :D There is other ways to put fossil cars into the scrap yard.. Taxes, road taxes and tax on fossil fuel, that is already happening in several EU-countries. I said 10 years - it might not even be 5 years from now..
@@johnz4860 Further more as the demand for fuel will go down - drastically, it will be almost impossible to find a gas-station in Europe in just a very few years. Same story about spareparts for the fossil engine, no reason for all the suppliers in China and all over the world - to continue to produce parts to a market that does not exist, the prices will sky rocket as well..
@@andersnielsen6044 well, I reckon the vast majority of people aren't buying electric cars for a number of reason, namely, they take a million years to fully charge, they are useless in very cold weather ( as seen recently in Chicago where quite a few Teslas were stranded in the snow unable to start their engines), they are still pricier than equivalent petrol cars. Petrol and diesel remain popular. Citroen has included a New diesel engines in their Berlingo range, in 2024!!!! Finally, do some research and you find that geologists and economists agree that the amounts of lithium there is in the entire world is nowhere near enough for the entire world population to have electric cars! Now, how native does that meke me?
Of course, every here and there is an idiot on the free highway over passing at 121 km/h a lorry, and took 10min to go back to her/his line .... With lot's of horn and lights to remind them move....
@deniznarli6004 Cars in Belgium are way cheaper, like food, fuel, rent, insurance...etc Lots of things there are better, like infrastructure, healthcare, doctors are real doctors with MDs, not like fake Arts in NL who don't even have MDs. Also, Belgians are more down to earth people. Gangsters won't allow you to take a breathe without paying for it. Makes you wonder why Dutch voted for Wilders! In NL if you are educated, honest and hard working person, you can't make it, but you'll have a great life if you are a criminal.
@deniznarli6004 Yeah, cars are way cheaper in Belgium. Everything else is cheaper like fuel, food, rent, house, cars. Almost everything is better in Belgium. A gangster state where you can't make it if you're an honest, educated, hard working person.
@deniznarli6004 Trust me, better. You won't know what kind of place NL is until you live here. That makes you wonder why Dutch voted for Wilders. Nl looks nice and clean, but they make you pay with your blood and pain to keep it that way.
@@deniz-auto If there is budget for an M3 why even start with a Golf R to begin with... Or do you lease/rent these cars in some kind of promotional contract?
@@ZenzDeluxe When i bought the R last year in May I was in no palce top buy an M3. Due to some changes in my professional life now i am. Absolutely loved the R and was already somwhat of a dream car for me. I am 24 from a working class family.All the cars are bought from my own pocket.

Welcome!
Excellent POV video! Keep them coming driving on different roads 👌
Thanks!
Your review style is top notch, it‘s on the same level as all the other big channels, if not even better. Can’t wait for the M3 review, hopefully :D
Thanks a lot
The m3 is ordered, delivery in December,. :D
@@deniz-auto nice, congratulations :)
I find putting it into nurburgring mode, you get more and louder pops and bangs. Especially when letting off around 4 - 4.5 rpm. Had mine for almost a year and wasn't aware of the automatic lane change feature! Cool!
yes definitly more pops in nurburg mode
Ah I just realised I don't have automatic lane assist. It requires you to have Park Assist feature which I didn't spec this on mine :(
Great tips! Just picked up a '24 a few weeks ago and love it. I really regretted selling my MK6 GTI and couldn't be happier getting back into a Golf. I just wish VW gave us those tail lights here in Canada!
Yo bro, amazing video, i subbed cause you have a lot of potential, you are really good at the "review" thing already, please keep going bro ✌
Thanks man, maybe i will 👍🏻
Great Review! To the point without any flash.
Nice video! Could feel the adrenaline through the screen with the autobahn speed
Glad you liked it!
17:43 my man saying "back to my h0es" ahahahahahahahaha :DD here we go again bro :D

The fact that he said it so matter of factly is more hilarious.
I’ve watched dozens of POV videos on the GTI/R. Your video is the very best of them all.
By the way, you have the same voice as Alaatin.
Thanks a lot. Appreciate it! I have Turkish roots too, maybe that’s why 😁
This car is freaking awesome man!!! Love this video and great job!
Great video mate, gonna be picking up one soon cant wait 😀

I got goosebumps.
Looks super fun to drive absolutely love it. Only thing keeping from buying is the gear shift I don't like the clicker.

great video and great car! I just hate the interior design of the latest Golf generation, looks so plasticy/cheap.
Thanks man, indeed. Only thing i wish for is that there was less plastic in the interior.
I think it’s more beautiful than my 7.5.
did you go to the future to get this car?
what an awesome car
Thanks

Yes this part is not the best
No its not the 2025 golf 8 R
I have the new one just like you but my race doesn’t have the extended drift mode how do you get it? Is it something in the settings ?
You need to have the performance pack. If you do not have it you also will not have the big rear spoiler.
Seems like performance pack is unavailable since some time. I ordered Golf 8R a month ago and have realized that I won't have the drift mode as well :( a bit bummed and haven't really found in the internet whether u can enable it or not somehow
@@szafrankk i had the same when i went to a volkswagen dealer. Thats why i chose a car they had in stock. I dont know the reason but i suspect its got to do with the new 8,5 coming up
The Performance pack is standard with the new 2024 Golf 8R with 333hp instead of the normal 320hp. Ask your local VW dealer.
@@ReconRangersPasukanKhusus maybe in the USA. In the Europe I don't recall seeing 8R with 333hp.
15:43 this red car should get a fine for dangerous maneuver
It was definitely close. Also lucky i was not pushing the car at that moment. I did not because i read the traffic, it was quite busy and was looking out for exactly this to happen. To give the red t-roc some slack. It was busy, trucks in second lane. Normal he moves to third. No hard feelings 👍🏻
for that money you might aswell get an bmw m2

Great car but to much traffic to those speeds my friend.
Frequent Autobahn user. I know my and the road’s limits.
ESC sport or OFF? i'm confused. and in what mode?
I think for launch control you have to put it OFF, but i’m not 100 percent sure.
@@deniz-auto Sport also works, no strict requirement for off. Just can't have it fully on.

Is this stock?
totally stock
Wtf...this car has 315 horsepower, it's a 4cyl engine (non-diesel) and yet it gets WAY better MPG than crappy Civic with 4cyl engines and only 124 HP.
Haha i don’t know about that car but this one does 7,5L-8/100km easily on 120km/h speeds cruise control
@@deniz-auto yeah that’s a better MpG than the Civic. Wth!!!
