I took delivery of a 2024 Golf R just three weeks ago. I have watched many TH-cam videos of this car. This is the most thorough, most informative of them all. Well done sir!
This is by far and I mean….by far…the best and most inclusive review of a Golf R on TH-cam. Very well done and I thank you for putting the effort into covering the car in as much depth as you have done here!!
What a fantastic review - reminiscent of 90s-era Top Gear, before the show went Clarkson mad. Measured in delivery and comprehensive in scope - I feel much better informed about what to expect from the R now. Thank you for the excellent upload!
Pretty sure the focus RS did NOT have a similar system. It actually overdrove the rears to induce infinite drifts. But you can imagine what happens if rears are overspun and the center clutch pack tightens not up to drift. It overheats.
That engine can be tuned, I’m more interested in A) how that all Wheel drive system functions B) drift mode and C) “special” I also like the blue for R color
Nice and accomplished as this car maybe with everything that everyone would want (performance pack) the price sadly goes well above that crucial £40,000 tax threshold that makes this vehicle very expensive. Personally I've just ordered a m135i with a few added options that appeal to myself it comes in at just short of £40,000 ok its not as track focused as the Golf r is but as I mentioned above unless you're willing to pay for the extras and long term costs then this car although very appealing soon become a little less appealing once you add all the costs together
A greatly detailed review indeed, but, is it just me, or is this guy bordering on "Little Britain", almost a spoof review with the very suspect walk-in or body turn for each segment? "Suits you Sir" :-) Asking for a friend

In my 30’s I drove an STi…nearly 50, I’ll take the Golf R.
I have watched a lot of channels about this car and you are the most thorough. I mean you covered every nook and cranny about this car.
Thank You!
Agreed, one of the best reviews out there for sure
It’s like watching William Woodard

Wow! Unbelievably thorough review. Thanks much!

Correct and the small differential was plagued with overheating when pushed at a track.
Great review. Thanks!
What year is model reviewed
can it have park assist allowing the car to park in a narrow garage?
Great review as always.
I got my new one last week and it is very very capable but it absolute does not do 35mpg on the school run, more like 25mpg
My stage1 gti gets in the40s on the highway at65 37at 80

you are still using Golf 7/7.5 R pictures when talking performance pack.......
Why does it keep showing pictures of a mk7 Golf?
Does R have auto park assist like the GTI have?
Brilliant review from ~38mins great safety features. I must get!
Excellent review.No better.
And at £50,000 with options it bloody well should be
Showing older model pictures, showing the Mk7 not mk8?
Tried to watch this video more than once. But it's just so boring.
William Woolard? 🧐

The wheels aren’t that appealing 😟
You say at the start 35mpg... I get 55mpg at 60mph on motorway in my r
Press the pedal on the right
So much wrong information.
test the machine instead of yourself who ever top model. nobody cares how you boil your mouth ...
is this even english?
My R is 2023 white brutal car for fan and 400ks
