I applaud the owners bravery for showing up for an episode of RCR looking EXACTLY like a Golf R driver.
Crazy you say this ... have a neighbor who drives a Golf R ... and, yeah, he looks exactly like this but his hair goes down slightly past his shoulders and he's only slightly less fat.
... and ofc they're from NJ
If you don’t have a novelty German license plate, is it really a golf R?
HA

It's a really good metaphor. I have to remember that one.

I love how RCR Reviews usually features a car review, dirty jokes and serious life lessons in a single review.
Dirty cars too. Don't people care enough about their cars to wash them first? I don't care if it is winter, take some pride in your vehicle!
@Ruthlessnoodle Can't relate I send this RC to my friends 25/8

You know you've stayed up too late when you see that RCR notification
Or you just work at night and do college work in the late morning as psychological distancing from your parents who argue every weekend. Then after the 19 years you can remember you just want to move away to Denver, not for the weed but because the mountain plains are peaceful and full of prairie dogs owo
Or you live in Europe where you can enjoy the video with your morning coffee.

A Golf R w the wheels of a GTI looks so wrong lol.
Oh that’s what it is. I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Agree! Lol
actually just looks like a GTI
winter wheels haha
I said the same thing at first but then figured they are just his winters
That dude looks more Buick Regal than Golf R
I drive a Golf R and I feel personally attacked by this extremely relatable content 😂☠️🤣
I too am destroyed. Going to go trade for a GTI so I don’t feel guilty from this RCR😪
THE R STANDS FOR RECTAL EXAM.
Also the owner of this car looks exactly like I'd expect.
Really? Majority of R owners I've met are old men looking for a sensible sports car or what regular described D bag, sound cloud artist with serious family money. The R is 10k more than a base GTI but who gets a base car anyway?
The R stands for Regal GS
BAHAHAHAHA I thought the EXACT same thing when I saw his fat ass and that derp face...oh wow, bald too, with the horseshoe hair and all. I personally would have spent the 40K on my looks instead of a VW shitbox.
Grown ass man wearing cargo pants?
@@michaeljohn9263 he would have been better off getting a regular GTI and then spending the 10k difference on a hair transplant.
It's really fun seeing these reviews as a German because the driver stereotypes are so much different in the US than here.
A Golf R is a car that barely anyone over 30 would drive in Germany and it's considered to be pretty quick. I once had a GTI for a couple days and it felt dangerously fast to me.
What kind of person still drives an e46 coupe or 1st gen Audi tt in Germany?
The golf r drivers Ive met are people who are too mature to be seen in an STI. They want stealth speed
@@kristoKR-zj8oi e46 coupe. Only turkish and russian people who bumps strange aggressive music from their country with max volume. They are night active and love to wake up the neighbourhood with burnouts.
Audi TT, Milfs or g*y dudes with long hair and a scarf.
@@prashanthpanicker2890 In Europe the Golf R pretty much took the STI's role of being obnoxiously driven and also modified so that it sounds like shit.
Beat on it as you want, the Golf R is well rounded up car. Exacly what the Volkswagen buyer wants. 300 horses aint to bad, but where it really counts over a GTI is the AWD system...

@@Schmidt54 I'd rather drive a Toyota Avolon XLE Hybrid if I wanted something that cost in the $40k's and comfort. Volkswagons, BMW's,a nd Audis are nice cars but become money pits.
M3's are actually cool tho. No one is looking twice at a hatchback.
Guy in my town has a golf r with the vanity plate "AWDFTW"
@@sweatyfootenjoyer no one is looking twice at a sedan either. They both have 'if you know, you know' looks these days
A fully loaded GTI is a whopping $38k nowadays, so $42k for the R isn't too bad really.
Exactly! Considering awd, more power and overall aesthetics, not a bad buy.
I got a used R for 29k instead of a gti for 22k, and the 80 hp honestly makes a pretty big difference, You can get 400 hp from an R with bolt ons but you have to do a new turbo for a gti and they will spin a lot then.
I don't know how he kept comparing the price to a GTI without mentioning that it's AWD every time. In my opinion, horsepower is irrelevant compared to that one major platform difference. The price would still be understandable if it were a GTI in every respect including badges but with the addition of AWD.
Calls a Golf R a Type R* comments do nothing
eh, whatever. I'd still rather have a Golf R than an STI or Focus RS as a daily driver.
The Haldex did just fine in 90% of the driving conditions I ever found myself in. This was in my previous car, an R32.

I'm European, and I would pretty much just double-fist the horn button while slowly rolling in closer. Really let him know I disapprove of his driving. Then maybe a fist fight.
From Poland here; I am still in disbelief that you could handle that situation in such a manner. No cursing, shouting, threatening, questioning one's sexuality, attacking their mothers, no tear gas, no broken glass, anything. That was staged, i believe. From my experience, if that was a stranded pedestrian crossing the way in search of rescue, yeah, 97% chance they'd just crucify a poor guy on the spot, no questions asked. I once let a cyclist pass while turning right ( the cyclist way was on my right heading the same way, intending to just move forward), and he looked surprised, shocked, just could not believe, drove off with a big smile. So, yeah
Also there is a special place in hell for the Audi drivers i believe

I always tip good, because I usually order after work and it's around 4AM, so I usually get the same guy. Which means he's always at my place like 15-20 minutes after I order. So that pizza is HOT!

LGR making an appearance on RCR? Didn't know he owned a Golf R.
So when will there be a voice over of RCR commenting on a Digital VAX3300 workstation on LGR?
I knew he looked familiar.
That's not Clint man, lol
The beard is wrong.
Was thinking the same thing lol
No offense to that guy, but lgr has lost a fair bit of weight in the last few years, and lost less hair
Some people miss this point when reviewing the GTI and Golf R. If you drive hard, using a lot of full throttle, a GTI, especially when tuned, is more frustrating than fun. The traction, even with great summer tires, is very limited. I traded mine in for a Golf R, and even tuned within an inch of shitting its pants, it gets amazing traction.
Fun fact.... The MK5 GTI weighed 3550lbs or exactly TWICE the weight of the original MK1 GTI. It also came came with twice the horsepower and significantly more safety, comfort and technology.
As a owner of a MK2, a MK5 and a MK7 I can say I like them and drive them for all different reasons. The older ones just have that extra something something going from them that the new ones just don't but I'll tell you what, I'll drive a new one 90% of the time over the old one because it's just a better car to live with day in and day out. The newer ones do a great job and better job than most cars on the road period. They absolutely handle the road better than the mk1 or mk2 as well but they just are just different and thats a good thing. Evolution is a good thing here for sure... Buy them 2-3 years old and they are half price too. A bargin. Except the Golf R, it's just crazy expensive but you do keep that resale value over the GTI when you go to sell though.
To be fair, if you got a gti, it would cost pretty close to 10k to reliably make it as good as the R, and then also cost you your warranty. This is out of the box faster with better suspension and you get to keep your precious warranty.
The Golf R is the only German made Golf sold in the US.
WhateverNevermind and the e-Golf*
i think the mk8 is going to be all built in Germany again though
I own a GTI, and can say the the 210 HP loses its thrill before you even get the registration done. What it really is is the best commuter car. A stage 1 tune adds some fun back in, but you're never going to mistake it for a sports car unless you put so much time and money in it that you should have just bought an AMG Wagon.
When you see an rcr reveiw about a car you own and love, oh boy, here we go
Feeling the same way. Still love the car though
'16 Golf R owner here who fits none of the stereotypes mentioned and now I'm butthurt because he didn't burn me. Also, it's about a $4-5k difference between the top optioned GTI and the R, so that's more of an apples to apples comparison. It's a no-brainer at that point if you live anywhere it snows, you go with the R (AWD). Mine has a simple JB4 tune and consistently launches to 60 in the low 4's (at 5,280' elevation) and it carves canyons like Thanksgiving Day turkeys here in Colorado, but yeah, Buick comparison something or another. Roooofl!
Thumbs up for the under appreciated Pilot Wings reference.
Mr. R is more of a man than I am for not laying on the horn at that idiot. Seriously, doing a U-turn on a blind hairpin RIGHT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER CAR (you can't tell me he didn't see the Golf, he waited) is one of the stupidest things I have literally ever seen on the road.
Time to start my week-beginning ritual of watching the new RCR at 1:00AM
It's 3a.m. here.
5am over here. x)
4 am over here
I have an '18 R MT and...... you're right. If you drive one on summer tires though, it's more fun.
Some of these RCR opening monologues play like lyrics from a Frank Zappa song. Anybody else with me here?
Coincidentally just bought a 17 Golf R. Was going back and forth between it and a GTI. But what made me get the R is remembering how much better driving an AWD car is in the snow or rain. FWD just kills the fun.
This episode hurt my feelings.
Baka Tori good
"20 minute blunderbuss trumpet dump"
This is pure gold!
Nothing like doing a U-turn across a double line two lane road in the middle of a blind curve. It really gives validity to your liability-only bargain bin insurance coverage.
I met an older lady with a Golf R, who bought it because she has owned Golfs forever; however she now needed AWD due to where she lives. I’m sure she isn’t alone, in the fact that she bought this because she loved the Golf platform but wanted AWD.
This guys brain must be a scary place
The voices in his head are quite nice if you get to know them.
it would be a lot like tailgating in the middle of the track at a nascar event, except all the cars racing are mediocre beaters.
Probably cat girls and r/animemes
Too scary
Only for the aforementioned crappy tenants.
Every time I see a new video in my subscription box from you, I always watch at least the intro immediately, and laugh my ass off every time. You're the best, Mr. Regular. Don't ever stop being you.
Even a new 40k r has a check engine light on 😂
The Haldex works wonders in deeper snow, to me it's worth the extra, but I get how a lot of people would rather just take the GTI
If your reading this im going to hit you right in the feels...

Chris James brutal

Tim Shelby just like their cars. Like dog owners look like their dog😂
I used to be a VW Owner. The look about me was sheer joy when:
- VW bought back my Jetta TDI in 2018 at 2015 value, plus a punitive fee, for lying about emissions.
- I no longer had to support the German auto-industrial complex. (greedy in so many ways)
So, in actuality, sheer joy was only when I first stopped being a VW owner. ¡Touché!

I remember when VWs were fun. Now they're just boring and for some reason expensive.
$40K for a golf?
VWs have always been expensive, though this one takes the cake. I just bought a GTI (a Rabbit) and I'd add that they are super heavy too due to all this extra safety stuff they put in them. 3100 pounds! No wonder it takes 220+ horsepower to make them go anywhere fast. Man I remember when my race Scirocco had to have weight added to it to make the 1800 pound minimum race weight and a 100 horsepower GTI engine would make it absolutely rip.

Miles Pannell idk man I had a Mini Cooper s which is like the ultimate go kart and honestly the gti I have now is more fun
I feel that you didn't really hammer on this car when you drove it; At slow and regular speeds, it feels very much like a GTI but once you really get on it (and I mean throwing it into corners at high speed and really driving it aggressively) it's there where you really feel the difference between the two cars. I would never buy a GTI after having experienced the R
Have a 2018 Golf R manual. Drive on custom 24\7 it's great.
Ahh my favorite production I've even been part of. I love spring awakening
In reference to the statement @4:15 you do actually get more under the hood of the GTI and Golf R than advertized. The GTI regularly dynos @ 220-ish wheel horsepower, and these dyno closer to the crank figures at the wheels, so I would say youre getting ~250hp with the GTI and ~320hp with the R, for what its worth Mr. Regular :P

I think I still want to eventually replace my 2nd gen Mazdaspeed3 with a Golf R. I live in Canada and we have snow most of the year so a regular GTI isn’t any faster than a regular Golf when the traction sucks.
Just get a 5 speed golf base model. 25k Cad. No sounddaktor. Still quick. 4-7L / 100km
