Great video, as always! The only thing I will say is that the 4.7 0 to 60 time is completely inaccurate. Many channels have tested them and it’s always been 4.3, 4.2, sometimes even 4.0. So seeing that this tuned golf are only did it in 3.9 was kind of disappointing to me. Other than that, though, it was pretty impressive. I love these cars and I can’t wait to get mine in a couple of years.
We own a GTI MK8 and its not bad at all, reviews overblow stuff. Funny how almost all MK8 owners pretty much say the same thing that the infotaiment is actually perfectly adequate, people who actually live with these cars. But internet kids and car reviewers blast them :D

Haha there's a couple stock R32s in my town and whenever they go WOT it looks funny, a whole lot of beautiful noise and car hardly goes😂 even my gf who is not into cars at all made the same observation haha :D
The only real difference between them is the power to the real wheels. I don't see how a smaller trunk is better for a daily then a bigger one. Since there is no other ream difference between them otherwise.
@@FrostyDC-xf9pk nah im talking more about the driving side, the 8R was actually insane it didnt spin out if you pushed it even with damp roads. The GTI CS is all over the place and thats with dry conditions. its like a rs3 the 8R it sticks to the road so its a saver nicer to drive daily than the GTi CS in my opinion ofcourse
@@Lensestthe CS is way more engaging and a driver's car. The R feels like a videogame but not engaging at all in my opinion. The CS also feels lighter and more eager to turn. With the R you feel the weight and lack of front diff.

In this thread people talking about engagement but the car that is capable of rear-bias and true power-on-oversteer is somehow more boring than a FWD turd. It's a well built, light, FWD turd, but still a turd. I've owned performance RWD and AWD cars (including my dailies) for over 15 years, and this, like the Focus RS or Corolla GR (to name comparable hatchback examples), is an amazing drivers car because you can make it dance. Threads like these are proof that most people rarely drive their car on the limit, because if you prefer boring FWD understeer to power on oversteer that these cars bring, my man, you're not the precious "driver" you think you are. It means you like boring FWD predictability compared to AWD or RWD, NOT engagement.
it has been cracked a while ago but it´s still difficult and therefore quite expensive. Most of the Stage 1 tunes for the Golf R start at 400 hp at least but start from like 5-6k euros. Not compareable with the Mk7s where you could get the same power with a stage 2 with an additional downpipe for like 2k.
