We purchased one of these in Australia in 2020. the driveaway price on some of these with the pan roof was from $58.000 not $51.000.i sold my Golf R to buy this and love it. but it needs a stage 1 tune.then it would be more fun to drive. like the Golf R .they feel a bit lazy in standard tune,
I have a tcr here in Ireland and the European car makes 380nm standard. Revo software offer a stage 1 remap giving minimum 475nm on shitty 95 octane fuel we have here. Have been thinking about the remap but afraid it will struggle badly for traction in the dry never mind the wet!!
I really wanted one but being in 🇺🇸 where tcr’s were never offered I went with a ‘21 7.5 6MT with TCR muffler and black Pretoria option. IE rear sway for fun. ✌️
7:41 ironically "BIL" means "CAR" here in Sweden. Go check my Stage 1 GTI Clubsport MK7 at my channel! On a Cobra Sport catback at present. Will finish it into a Turbo Back with a Bull-X downpipe soon... 👍 😎 👍
Been into a dealership. Price on road with Pan Roof $59,142. Sticker shock. Nice to look at but costly when they go wrong. As my fourth trip to repair bay this year hurts.
When the power gets around 300bhp mark gets a bit too quick to enjoy it safely 😂. Had a manual mk 5 GTi with 350 and one hand on the wheel during shifts was a bit hairy to say the least lol
@@ClayWong interesting, also your cars got lower torque... you are missing out :D at first I thought that you just let it in the sport auto mode cause in that mode it wont shift to 7 (maybe if you drive at crazy speeds on German Autobahn). But now I know, thank you for the clarification.
It is in fact 5.7 seconds unfortunately! The car is mighty quick once rolling but off the line it definitely struggles, a lot. www.caradvice.com.au/835193/2020-volkswagen-golf-gti-tcr-pricing-and-specs/
Were it not you Clay, the TCR variant would have been unnoticed. Great video!
One of my favorite hot hatches of all time
I love the energy that you bring to the review.
Awesome to see this car channeling joy.
Love the energy on screen man ! Love the TCR... it looks 👌🏻
I would honestly keep the honeycomb stickers, it makes the GTI TCR stand out even better from the regular GTI and the R🔥
Am in love with this golf GTI TCR

Nice pocket rocket man, I did explain the land down under would be reluctant to let you go ✌🏽🇦🇺

The vw golf gti 40 years anniversary (clubsport in the UK) came out with the same power

How do you con people into taking their cars for a joy ride,,grate vids😁
nice video mate, but lets wait for new clubsport mk8
keep up the good content!!
Such a shame these are DSG only.
Me fav ride by far bruv❤
What’s the colour called?
what fuel do you use this E10 or 98 octan?
what spoiler is that ?
How ya getting the dsg farts in the 2020 model? I don't get them in my 2019 model!
tuned.
A shift stick would make the experience perfect, would be slower but more fun - not a DSG fan

@@user-fu9or4uk7t same with my S5, tuned it and got too hectic as a manual. Switched over to a TCR and I don't regret it.
It has got a 7 speed dsg not a 6 speed.
6 Speed Wet-Clutch DSG

@@ClayWong I own it, it is a 7 speed dsg
Australian cars came with the 6-Speed DSG!

Woooooooot
Pity its as reliable as a politician
Explain where the unreliability comes from? Especially on a brand new 7.5 lol
@@nickveginis2210 Vw and reliable, dont kid yourself buddy.
@@lukesm5747 i have done 80,000 klms in my 7.5 R stage 2 + and have had zero issues
@@lkbipolar Thats called being lucky. One look at any VW reliability ratings will tell you enough.
Yeh shut down VW when it comes to reliability 🤣
0-100 in 5.7 secs?? Something doesn’t sound right? I thought it would be quicker
Probably a bit quicker but front wheel drive cars struggle getting off the line. It's actually quicker than the r from 100-200km
