What do you think? Golf R or GTI? Let the arguments begin
Let me be a typical TH-cam commentator. "Neither, buy a Civic Type R!"
I just picked up a GTI mk7.5 in Atlantic blue with the Brescia wheels and it’s a cracking car! Much nicer looking than the R but the R drives better! More about the icon for me though!
R
TGE TV no adverts unfortunately squire
gti is front wheels but the golf r is 4 wheels and more grip
The front of the GTI is indeed very pretty. I see them often in my R's rear view mirror!!!!!
Savage
that additional 50hp getting you real far ahead haha
monster
How’s grip in bad conditions?
I own a GTI and I found this joke hilarious
The #1 reason the majority of people bought a gti instead of the R .... is the price
Exactly. It there was only a couple thousand dollar difference, everyone would choose the Golf R.
@@HudMan4U Well DUH, if a Bentley was only a couple of grand more than a Skoda, everyone would choose the Bentley.
No shit Sherlock.
I do prefer the look of the gti than the R. I don’t buy new I buy used. So if I have seen R’s the same price as gti’s.
I’d only buy the r if it was cheaper or same price than the spec I wanted in the gti. Because I can stage 1 the gti and have same power and better looking car minus 4motion. And I’m not that fussed because did get either in manual only.
That Guy I won’t choose the R over the GTI 😂 bro you make me feel as if I’m poor, I could’ve bought a m550i if I wanted lol
No, the GTI has heritage and style. The R is cool but more for people who don't know better than that the R is the most powerful golf. I could afford the R if I wanted to but I would much more like a GTI because of the fact that it is a GTI. The name GTI is a classic name that has been around for decades. It has style, rust, heritage and history. The Golf R is for people who want to blast rap music while revving their engines outside night clubs. There is no style nor respect in that. Basically the Golf R is for kids.
Wouldn't bother filming with the iPhone again. The video quality is nice but the audio is shit
Noted and agreed
TGE TV get an external mic my lamb
he must of been covering the mic, my x doesn't sound like that
He has his finger over the mic just needs to hold phone differently
still confused why a guy who has had multiple supercars is worried about a few quid a month. Golf R wins hands down.
Lol Golf R any day. Doesn’t matter if the GTI is an icon, the R is just better. The only reason why you’d get the GTI now is if you got a better deal (as mentioned) or need more boot space (because of the lack of AWD)
GTI is a better daily tho. softer spring rate,more comfy
Yeah and if u stage 1 the gti theyre more or less the same. so ill prob take GTI
TR Hamza yh agreed the awd system extra power alone is worth the extra £100 a month lol + R looks better but i do prefer the interior on the gti & lights
ShaDoWhUnTeR ellis golf r can b specced with DCC?
The Real Rodger not really, stage 1 on the r brings it to 350+bhp with a 3.* 0-60
Archie’s A45 wrap looks great, why couldn’t he do that to the r8?😂
cus hes a pigeon
megaollie98 oh yeah, I forgot😂🐦
Mic Quality seems off on the iPhone 10?
It records mono.. like every other iphone.
"want a car to blend in so no one will break into my house" drives an aventador s
ludovic howison 😂😂😂😂
I do agree with you to an extent..... the GTI is an icon but VW screwed them self when they released the R32 which led on to the R. I think my point being the R should be the GTI and sack off the R nameplate. Back in the day the 205GTI and the MK2 GTI 16v Golf were two of the quickest hot hatches around now the GTI has been to watered down. That said the GTI details are nicer than the R. 👍🏼
looked like such a promising video, then archie came on and i had to turn it off. never mind, can try again next week.
IB why is it that every vlog now features that annoying Hamilton? Used to love watching here, oh well...
Bike Life is that why 40+ people liked my comment, you now look silly trying to call out someone who’s being sarcastic. Congrats you fucked up 😂
IB because I'm wrong and I'm sorry. Should have read it properly. Comments taken back. Still do your homework😂
Bike Life I’m 22 chap, homework was finished a long time ago. However congrats for being the bigger man. Good day sir!
IB good day to you too
GTI with DSG is a great daily car choice, I couldn’t see enough advantages to spend the extra on an R
Try one and you'll see the difference, the IS38 turbo is completely on a higher level.
From a guy who’s had mk 4 and 5 R32s and now in a mk7 R Im honestly blown away with the R … but have lots of love for the GTI . What a iconic car , both great motors .
The mic is horrible 🎤
Sounds fine to me
Mine is brand new and the only problem I have is the lower engine mount moves too much. I can release the clutch pedal slow and sometimes the car still clunks. I'm not even gonna warranty the part, I'm adding a mount insert to forget it altogether. Other than that it's a ridiculously fun car for the price.
Love the look of the GTI. Been looking at alternatives to the Focus ST3 and this is right up there. Can I ask what leasing company you used and rough payments. Tia
Have you EQ’d the audio from the iPhone, cos the bass is missing and hence it sounds quite treble heavy, however when you were filming the dog and the golf, the warmth came back?
I love the GTI. Personally, I have a MK7 GTI sport. If I had the money I would have gone for the Golf R, but I completely understand your reasoning for choosing a GTI over the R, especially since you already have supercars to get your ridiculous speed fix when you need it. I love the fact that you kept the car really low key spec wise, but if there is one thing I think you have to do, it would be aftermarket wheels.
“The morning after”
I owned a GTI mk 7 (347 hp). Now i own a R 7.5 (400 hp). The R is the better one. The traction is amazing. With the GTI always spinning wheels. With the R none. And it is a lot quicker. I love it.
What do you think about some winter trip with your daily cars? You with GTI, Archi with A45, Sam with CaymanS, Paul with M3, MrJWW RS6 or S1? Go on road trip to maybe Spain or some crazy destination for a week? I think that would be some mad content!!! Hope something like that we would see very soon!
Is it best to lease cars like golf gti,r, rs3 , a45, range rovers etc..., is lease any good what do you think ??
What's the score with modifying a leased car, I know you have done just you have to revert back to stock when 2 years up ?
How well is the car holding up a year later?
How's the gti like on fuel? Can you achieve +350 miles on a full tank by driving sensible.
Why is the audio from front face recording so terribad?
My hand was over mic
You're a TERRIBLE TH-camr ! (with an Aventador)
Keep it up.
Daniel Warren there's no such thing as a front face mic. It's just a mic
Kathmandu I’m so sorry
I own an "R" and everything about them is better than the GTI. Big reason is those seats are like my grandmothers blanket.
Hi, does anyone have experience with the break-in period? I am getting my new GTI next week and I am not sure if I can drive 1500km like a granny^^
So when’s it getting wrapped? And about a month later an exhaust?
TGE & Archie vs JWW & STG. Who yah got ?
Loving the double act, you two work well together
Golf R, stuck a maxton splitter on the front of mine yesterday, makes a massive difference to the looks!
Thanks for your input! I will consider this when looking at cars.
Also what is the song at the start?
Hope you get to 100k subscribers the content is great, love the car great spec would love to own it
Audio was a shiite but quality was good. Another great blog, you guys crack me up. Hope the 100k arrives soon
are you using the front or the rear camera?
This is the second video I’ve seen of yours (first being the e63) so I have to ask why would you care about mpg if you drive a Lamborghini?
Obviously I'm outnumbered here. Most of you prefer the GTI over the golf r. I have owned an MK5 and MK6 GTi. They we're both great cars! It was fun to romp around as well as daily Drive in those gti's. That being said, I purchased an MK 7.5 Golf R and I can say without a doubt it is a massive Improvement! I live in the mountains so even our highways are twisty and you can feel the rear end push you around the turns when you're pushing it a little bit. Among many other reasons I would prefer a golf are one hundred percent of the time. But that's just one person's opinion🤷🏻
Hi mate,
What lease company did you use?
TGE, If I head to London in my W12 Golf ‘04, will you do a feature?
Who did you lease from pal? Thinking of selling my e46 M3 and getting one of these. Although the M3 is awesome, I miss the creature comforts (like cup holders) of a modern car!
What is the brand of Archie’s hoodie ?
Where did you get such a good lease deal........coz I can’t find one that cheap....
I thought the GTI didn't come with a Digital cockpit or is that only available in the European market
Is there any option you would have put on in hindsight?
Hey mate, what leasing firm did you use?
Hey Teeje, that GTI deal sound mental, my clam. Although they look similar, they're basically different cars. Haven't been in the mk7.5 GTI yet but looks sick. When is the beard coming off?
See if you pay monthly for a car, can you still mod it in terms of getting new wheels, new exhausts and things like that?
Red stitching is the vibe, my new car is in two weeks and thats got the Red added #TickedSomeBoxes
I just subbed because you pair are funny.
Quick question what’s the difference with the golf tsi??
I have Unitronic tuned Gti Mk VII, non PP. 280+ whp and an open diff (they are cheap used in the US). It's chaos when you floor it, especially if driving one-handed. How about a challenge for you and Archie trying this in central London traffic?
Who did you get your leasing plan from please?.
The R looks a lot better!!
Interesting how people’s opinions are split so much! ☺️
I have stage1 2019 pp golf r looks better I like both cars stage1 r would be better
Not many people will notice, but he purposely got the video below the 10 minute marker type thing
the helper of the peopledems why. >10 min = £££
All about the mid-video ad! :)
So can we call official the bromance with the pigeon?
Do another watch video please (patek preferably)
Andre Tennis Theyve been shipped and now they're both in the sea with the 720s etc.
Bromance is great. They have great chemistry together!
Andre Tennis they're both character, absolute characters
I had a gti performance pack then I brought an R the R is more fun and sounds better 😁
Bought.
3 years late lol 😂
I test drove both. In normal traffic (which is an absolute pain here in Tampa, FL), the GTI was more entertaining due to the lighter weight and torque coming on a bit lower in the range. Golf R was very impressive, don’t get me wrong, and very fast, but in normal daily driving it felt a bit boring to be honest. All depends on use and preference, but I found the GTI the more entertaining daily driver
9:55??? So near, yet, so far 😂 need to step up the youtubemoney game mate 😏
Golf R all day long
Gti or JCW what’s the better daily?
where did you get your deal from? and why do people beat on Archie? thanks
How many miles on the clock now since new ?
I like the tint choice it’s tasteful and that color we never got in the US
How comfortable are those seats? I would prefer the Art Velours.
Off topic, What's your views on tattoo's/sleeves?
Nice.... Love the facelift cars!
GTi performance pack for me. All the GTi heritage plus much improved handling and R brakes. Agree on the interior, I'm loving the tartan!
"The GTI has been around for decades..." So have horses, but that's not a reason to buy one lol!
No golf R 2 door manual !
I just traded my r32 mk4 for a base gti 2015, I’m surprised how much I don’t miss my old r32!
I do miss my leather ! Those seats were amazing.
Why not a clubsport?
It's supposed to be a daily, not a track car. This is a difference between golf and cars like type R and focus RS and so on, golf is much better at being a daily.
im about to get my second gti. love the gti
The quality is really good on the iPhone X. I love golf as a brand so all the models I'm a huge fan
Where did you lease this from?
Where did you lease it from?
Love it I got the gtd same interior except silver instead of red Interior magical
I like the old r32s with the Vr6 but now I think I would go for the GTI with the plaid seats and red accents
You got exactly same as me. Same paint extra and I wish I had got the bigger wheels too
What apr rates do you normally get on ur finance deals...
Whats the fuel consumption difference between r and gti
Video quality is good but it’s like the sound from the front camera was recorded on a potato.
You know, I had a look at one of these, it's such a nice car BUT the seats are just way too soft. Softer than the standard Golf SE seats which are pretty good.
The camera sucks for sure, more importantly I think it's the audio
Have delivered to those flats many a time. Pain in the ass security always tell me to move my van when I park there. Jobsworths eh!
Lovin the banter between you pair.
Valid re;icon but more so, as a daily with a Lambo back at the forte. R is my one and only so for me, it was getting the max performance, drive and spec for any occasion/weather. I went from a Gti Ed30 so appreciate the Tartan 👍
It’s good to go back to your old videos 😂. Would you get another GTi?
but the Golf R has all wheel drive, you can actually plant the power down when you get it tuned
you sound ready for the sea with the hangover my hamster
The GTI front end looks good but have you seen the R tail lights? Oh wait, of course you have...
Who's pressing the brake pedal at 8:12?
literally was thinking this morning ' I thought he said he is going to explain why he bought gti instead'
Watching in 2021 tell you what carnt wait to pick up a gti just need to find the right one
its like saying TT or TTS or 235i or M2Guess it's down to budget as always with cars but as for which is best it's usually the top of the range
What year ?
3 years later, but I've just bought my '16 plate PP with every extra, 50k miles under 15k GBP, just incredible bargains these cars.
I prefer 2 exhaust tips than 4 on the R which i think it is overkill for a hatchback
What brand is Archie's hoodie?
As this was going to be my 1st ever new car I was ready to go the extra mile for the R but here in Canada you can’t get a sunroof in the R and I found that to be a deal breaker. It’s my 7th VW, 2018 GTI Autobahn, I absolutely love it, the front lights are crazy powerful, only beef is the SD card management of the Fender Audio, it sorts the media by alphabetical album name, not artist, totally stupid.
Tbh, whilst everyone gives Archie shit, you two are clearly friends and it would be a bit boring with just one person in the video...
I borrowed a golf r stage 3 pushing 480bhp off a mate for 2 days in love with it,golf r all the way.boost bugs lol.I like the mark 6 twin exhaust in the middle 4 exhaust is a over kill.
