Well i dont know about it beeing the "Perfect" hothatch but theres worse rides to be had. After learning to drive on a manual Golf GTD i owned a manual Polo GTI for seven years. Recently i upgraded to a DSG Golf 7.5 R, fully specd aswell, and that thing i call a nearly perfect hothatch. Insane power from factory and just a stage 1 software makes it challenge RS3s and A45s. The 4Motion makes it very fast form a full stop and it reduces understeer in fast corners by a lot compared to the GTI. Its got exhaust flaps as stock so you can be chilling and keeping a good relationship with the neighbours but if you switch to race mode it really comes alive, exhaust crackles and pops from factory. Absolute beast.
@lobster8009 The Golf R is an awesome car! The DSG is the perfect transmission for it, too. They have so much power. I understand what you mean, though. The GTI is great at everything, which is why I call it "perfect."

Love Golfs ever since i saw a mk4. This looks like a sick beater tbh. Shout out to the owner for committing to learning manual! #Savethemanuals
@BeatersAndCompany Lmao, I would hope this isn't a beater yet. That is your name though isn't it 🤔
@M-t3ch well if its your only car, would it also be your beater? 🤔
@@BeatersAndCompany Chat, he's cooking.
Thank you! But it’s more than a beater technically lol
its a 7,5 which auto comes with the performance pack
@@matthewvonderheide This one is a non! I believe they started that in 2019 or 2020.
