- Looking ahead a bit while driving my awesome 2016 VW Golf R with DSG, i answer the question which car could possibly come close to replacing the car in a sensible price bracket!

It won't get much better than with the Golf R :-)
"Stealerships" - LOL! Got that right. Wind noise in my s2000 was pretty loud. Never really bothered me too much though. I could see it being too extreme for some though.
I have a golf r, although I’ll still keep it another 2/3 years I’ll be looking at a c43 amg!! It’s going to interesting to see how they depreciate in a years time
Hi Jay Kay, excellent videos mate! I've got a GTI 2015 at 21 years old and I'm thinking about next car already 😂 I'm thinking maybe a full on M car in about 5 years time but it's hard to replace a car like GTI/R because they do everything so well and you don't really need anything more (I wish gti came with awd)
Thanks mate! Yeah in reality to get the same knife edge performance and power with grip you'd be looking at the Porsche 911 s. These cars are phenominal!
Agreed you have to spend much more to get a realistic replacement. This is your fun car you said though, and I think the ideal is a utility car and a fun car. You have the utility car apparently so for the money I’d just go for the fun side and get an MX-5 with nicer tyres - donate the balance to charity, your kids school fund, etc. (But then I think the ideal is an R for her and an mx-5 for me.) You could also keep the R and get rid of the utility car if it’s enough car.
Great video buddy.
Thankyou mate
which dealership did you pick your golf R up from Jay?
Get a bog standard 718 Cayman for 40k and add connect plus for £800, it will be much better as a fun toy weekend but useable every day car as per your description. Mid engined, faster, it's a boxer 4 cylinder unlike the golf r, and the general driving experience is just better. And the booster is better too. The 60k car will have been a well optioned car, also being the S, and dealers are selling them as high as they are because the demand is so high they aren't losing value.
Has it got the same chassis as the Cayman s then?
Yeah the entire 718 platform is on the same chassis, the difference is basically just engines and then interchangeable parts (which are almost entirely optional anyway) - ie. suspension. I have a mk7 R too, and if it wasnt for it being my every day car and practicality being key, I would take a 718 Cayman in a heartbeat. Im close friends with staff at an OPC, and used to have a 911 myself, and the driving experience, general cabin quality and design etc etc makes it a totally different experience to the golf. Especially with engine behind you!
Greetings from Cali. I recently purchased a 17 MK7 Golf R DSG DCC DAP and absolutely love it. Being in sunny California I'm able to enjoy my R year round. I wouldn't get rid of it. Keep it if you can.
I love mine and will be keeping it for as long as I can. I suppose I can keep it if hi buy a used performance car
Curious... I have a 16 R dsg but lo line--18"'s no Dcc no fender no no nav no safety sensors...and love it... but did you have a chance to drive the non dsg R? I will forever wonder the difference in suspension. Mine has a race mode too though.
For a replacement, BMW m3/m4, BMW m2, 911 carrera (s) (gts). I would miss the lack of tech in the m2 vs my mk7 golf r.
C43 AMG? 6 cylinders, amazing interior, if you get one with the sports exhausts it sounds amazing and next year you can have one for sub 40k
Interesting vid Jay. No doubt the R is a fantastic all-rounder, but as a Boxster owner too, the handling balance will blow your mind. Give it a try!
i definitely will do closer the time when replacement is due. I know porsche is an awesome brand. Which boxter do you own and how long have you had it? My friends wife swears by hers, but her dad buys her cars for her lol
+Jay Kay Mine is the 987 S. You're right about it being loud on motorways etc, but for weekend blasts I've given up trying to find something else (tried M235i etc - great cars but miss the feeling of it being an 'event', even at low speeds. Amazing balance, 6cyl and hydraulic steering, all for £10k and now seem to be holding their value...
ah 6cylinders! Yes that is something id be interested in and like you say the good thing about older cars is that they have hit bottom where prices are concerned. One thing is certain i want more than 4cylinders
Im in a similar situation to you Jay, had my R since August and changing it next year, there's not much out there that is faster for the cost of the R. I'm currently looking at the Mercedes A45 AMG, 0-62 in 4.2, priced it up tonight and spec'd it to the same level as our R....£47,575!!! Pisstake!
Bloody hell!! I test drove the a45 amg before I bought my golf r and found the R to be far more fun to drive. whatvdo you think you'll go for?? If you have to have a hatchback the choices really are limited other than buying another R
Go for a nice bmw m3/m4 m8 definitely worth a look....i was going to get rid of my wrx sti but cant bring myself to sell the subaru
you know the m4 is a awesome machine, there loads for sale on auto trader that are cat D lol. Cheap as chips though so I'm tempted to buy a Cat D now and play with that for a year along side my Golf R... That'd be interesting!
Yes I would buy a cat d if the price was right its only minor cosmetic damage on a cat d...Have you driven a m4 if you havent jay go test drive one.
Not yet mate but BMW crowd think it's a great motor and I haven't seen one on the roads where I live. There is an m2 here but not an m4 so if I get one I'd probably go for the convertible. I will test drive one and see. Might do a video of it!
M5's are the best value though!! You can get 14plates the same cost as an m4. Surely the m5 is the car to go for in that case??
Yes i do prefer both the m3 and m5 over the m4...definitely want a beemer next ive owned a few older ones over the years a few friends still have e46 m3,s to this day never seems to really date the e46 imo,many bmw enthusiasts still love the e46 ....they got to right though with the newer models we see today
Mustang V8 - awesome machine.
It has the look, sound, price and fun - all good :)
5.0 v8 and its a 40k car... i think il be test driving this very soon. Good contribution!
alfa gulia quadrilfoglio used would be a good buy and an M3 killer in comparison tests
We were talkinga bout this car in the office yesterday. Another car that is on my list of cars to do this spring/sumer. Fantastic machine!
Usually when dealers sell 16/66 plate cars they're normally either ex demonstrators and or cars they lease to their sales team. For the 60k region I'd be looking at C63/M3 territory, but saying that they don't really compare to the Golf R as it's a hatch. I've just placed deposit on an S3 and I'm already wondering what's next...
M2 is a great shout as you say. Could also consider the new RS3 saloon but I know you say the 'normal' RS3 Is too similar to the R.
possibly! I wouldnt touch an ex demonstrator, thse things get hammered from the off! It's funny you should say that, i was saying to a friend of mine that for this money you could get a approved used M5! Thats another car id love to try, even though it goes against my RS6 choice of heading more into muscle car territory. Just looking on autotrader now, there are loads of 14 reg M5's for 40k... thats a lot of car for the money!!
also cars can be sold as 'brand new' with delivery miles by the dealer but as they're registered with a dealer they now have an owner on the logbook. A lot of buyers don't notice and it detracts from the resale value of car i.e. not being a one owner vehicle.
Surely you'd want to keep your R a little while longer jay? What money would you recoup if you sold/part ex the R now?
Oh yeah im not selling my R for another year at least. I've had a quick look re the value of it currently and its worth about £28,500 if i sold it privately. Not sure about part ex but we buy any car offered me £24,000 for it
meanwhile back on earth... lol
lol meanwhile back on planet earth - a quick search on auto trader shows 16 plate R's for sale at £30,000... And you didn't buy this R?? Man if you go on the VW website right now the R (in manual form with NO kit is over £28k). Sorry but i don't think you got quoted the same spec R as mine for 28k bro. Enjoy the dreaming though. In fact there are several R's on there with 4k miles for 35k mate... pmsl
Jay Kay scotchegg could well be telling the truth, its a Golf.. heavy discounts are offered its not uncommon, as far as I'm aware you bought from a local dealer? so there's a good chance you could have got a lot more discount had you gone elsewhere
Jay have you fallen a bit out of love with your Golf R? Is the question of replacing it a hypothetical one, or are you genuinely looking at another car this/next year?
Hell no lol I love my r. Just a few of my friends have asked me what would I replace the R with as it's a brilliant car.
I know there getting on a bit but how about an Evo 8/9? Great handling cars, 4WD, engines very tuneable 400bhp can be had for under a grand
I test drove a 9 FQ320 back in 2006 and it was a brilliant car! Arent reliability a bit of a problem with these cars though? That and they drink fuel where mpg is 19mpg on the 320?
Jay Kay Was the Evo Fq320 quicker than your golf R? I'm just curious to know comparisons
I literally had the exact same problem with Porsche, and really wasn't particularly happy with the sales rep. So instead I've placed an order for an F-Type :D
I don't blaim you. Which variant did you go for? I think il test drive one of these
Jay Kay I've gone for the V6 coupe (340hp). As Jag are bringing out the 2018 spec and March plates are pending you can pick up a very good deal. 100% worth taking a look at what's left in the showrooms!
Jags depreciate like buggers mate! Deffo only buy used!
Maybe the new Skoda RS with a Tune, will give you abpve 300hp. :) But then again you would keep the Golf right? I would do go for a BMW 125d with a tune (270hp) or perhaps a 140i. depends on what route you wanna go... Audi TT route could be cool as well..
Had go for a ford focus rs 😎
The M2 engine is single turbo not twin turbo(2 turbo chargers). Its the twin scroll bit which seems to confuse a lot of people. M140i and M240i might be worth a look too?
really!? I thought i read they were twin turbo... thats a bummer! Yes possibly, theres so many options... the M240i id defintely take a look at. A friend of mine mentioned a 12 reg 335i as well that he thinks might be a possible. Looks a bit under powered to me though but a lovely looking car.
Jay I was going to get a 2nd hand Golf R, but someone has thrown a spanner in the works by tempting me with a BMW 335d x drive, 0-60 in 4.9, over 300BHP., 4 wheel drive, shed loads of torque, excellent MPG (Well, for that performance), am I mad?
No you're not mad lol but test drive both cars the decide. BMW are awesome cars though
I too was looking at those. But I hear that they're unreliable. My vw mechanic said to stay away and instead get a vw tdi. On paper the 335d is a buy and a half.have you heard anything about its reliability?
Why not get a 2011 Nissan GTR??
Hello mate, it's been a while, wouldn't you go for a 2nd hand car like a 2009 R8 or a GT-R?
Hello mate, yes i was wondering where you'd been lol. Im not sure about that because super cars can be costly if anything goes wrong. The rule i go by is make sure you have enough spare money to cover the most expensive failure. For example i paid £7k for my landcruiser but i know that if something major went wrong it could cost upto £15k which i can afford. So thats how i determine which used car i buy
Exactly! People have to budget within their means. Fuel, servicing AND potential repairs all have to be taken into account.
Jay Kay fair enough mate, they are very pricey to run supercars, I've been watching every upload and liking, just not been commenting, maybe a M4 or Jaguar XE S?
ok. so the Caymen started as the boxster so the chassis is impeccable because as it was a soft top to begin with.
All 911TT's are 4 wheel drive. only the GT2 was turbo with rear wheel drive.
I'm lucky enough to have owned many of the cars you mention temporarily) here in Dubai over the last decade.. I'm not rich just a petrol head so if you'd like any owner based advice feel free to reach out.
currently own a gt4 and ironically considering a golf R to run in tandem and keep the gt4 mileage down.
my 2c worth as an R replacement within a reasonable budget? Try a 2013 (facelift) Audi RS5.
you'll love it and it does everything well like the R, but will feel more special (V8, even better sound, luxury etc.)
depends if you care about petrol costs living in UK!
Petrol costs don't bother me as I only do 3000 miles a year. Maybe a bit less! Thanks for the info mate. I was in Dubai two years ago on business. Ended up getting eaten alive at barista lol.
*barasti beach bar
Hi Jay thanks' for this vid pal after watching one of your vid's I went to speak with porche about getting a 2nd hand car well after chatting with them a sales man thought about getting a new porche but for a 10 grand deposit would only get me a bog standard Cayman not even the s plus you then have to pay for leather seat's sat nav etc all thing's standard in a lesser brand am now thinking of a mustang for my mid life crises what do you think pal
I think the 5 litre v8 mustang would be and excellent car. It gets a lot of attention when parked up so be ware if you intend to go on a night out and park in a city. I've still not test driven one yet but just know il love it
May I suggest a Lotus Evora. It's the most amazing car to drive. Ok you don't have all the toys but it rides better and smoother than your Golf.
Haven't watched this yet but I know you and you'll look at the m2!
you know it mate. I cannot get a test drive for love nor money but we all know a test drive isnt needed: the M2 is going to be a amazing car and i think a good replacement for an excellent Golf R
Jay Kay yeah mate I've been trying to get my hands on one just for the experience, but every dealer I've been to so far hasn't had a demo, in fact an m2 full stop
Jay, another option Audi TTRS.
Have you thought about instead of getting a new car why not spend 2-6grand don't quote me on price as I don't know but just to stage 2-3 it? Remap would make the car completely different and you'll still have the same practical car. Love the videos!
Thankyou mate and yes that is another option i was going to cover in this video. even stage 1 makes the R a different machine! WE'll see what happens closer the time, but i would love a bigger engine!
Jay Audi rs3 5 cylinder BEAST
Yes but major under steer golf better watch the videos
Lol... fellow golf r owner here. Also own a Cayman gt4. I hear you about the golf r being a more sensible and practical 718 Cayman.
Wow! The gt4 is my dream car--from every perspective. Does anything really out handle it? I too have the new golf r and love it.
M2! Neighbour took me out in his and it's amazing! Fast as fuck, handles like a dream and the sound! Amazing!
Alan partridge ?.
What might be a more interesting question is what are you going to replace the Land Cruiser with lol what about the latest Jaguar F Pace :)
lol no i use the landcruiser for a lot of dirty work such as towing scrap, cars, furniture and that. So a nice new posh SUV didnt seem justifiable for workhorse use. That jag is a fabulous piece of kit though. Maybe i should do a test drive video
If I needed a powerful working vehicle this would be it isuzu.co.uk/the-range/blade/blade-overview/
theres a commercial isuzu dealer in leeds i keep meaning to pop into who has a nice selection of these trucks! This, the Nissan Navara and the Toyota Hilux are the trucks ive been considering
What about Subaru still 2018 it's 6 speed
BMW M2's engine the N55 is a single turbo.
I would just get the most out of your golf mate for the next few years. Don't see why you would need more power (usable on roads), so should be more than enough. Some people are never content, asking what's next lol. You seem to be more than happy so for as long as that lasts why Change?
Absolutely, the golf r is probably the best car in the world for the money at the moment. Excellent motorway cruiser too if you have DSG. I was in a really bad traffic jam on the A1m a few weekends ago in my R and behind me was an aston martin. It was quite funny watching him having to change gear as traffic was starting and stopping, where i just put ACC on and let the car handle all the crap lol.
Jay Kay yeah mate I'm glad I chose dsg although it will probably take some getting used to coming from manuals all my life. I'll have a 2 hour drive from the dealership to get used to it so should be fun lol.
Whose the dealership? Is it jct600?? They seem to offer brilliant laid back test drives which are really long. It takes a bit of getting used too, but I've started usinnsports auto now when sprinting as I'm lazy! Sports auto is brilliant though, keeps the revs just right
Sorry you're driving it home lol. Yeah just put it in eco mode, drive it home steady then change up and down gears every so often. Then to get it back into auto again just hold down the right shifter until you see the 'e' infront of the fear number on the dashbaord
Jay Kay dealership was Volkswagen Halifax mate. The car is perfect for me. Little like a wolf in sheep clothing lol. Weather was crap today unfortunately but enjoyed the drive back and love the acc for motorway driving. Wouldn't ever chip the car as I value my warranty, and to be honest I can't see me ever needing anymore power. It's surprisingly fast. Love it.
jay kay Sir why not just save up a couple of years and get a Turbo s?(991.1 911 turbo s) I Know its easier than said than done
Hi mate, unfortunately there is no such thing as a cheap super car otherwise id do just as you say. You need very good money coming in to enjoy those things. For example i nearly bought a 360 modena spider back in 2013 (before their prices sky rocketed so id have actually made a lot of money if id bought one!!), for it to do 3000 miles a years cost approximately £6000. This includes servicing, insurance and the odd breakdown. I know a porsche would be cheaper but it would be likely you'd experience a mechanical problem in one form or another, so you'd need a lot of spare cash just in case
Jay Kay what sort of budget have you for your replacement and have you considered the R35 GTR?
Assuming i sell my R and get at least 20k for it in two years i should have 50k to play with. No i doubt id be able to afford a super car within the next year or two because the cost of repair if anything major went wrong. If i were to make a real gamble id look at either a R34, the 35 as you say or an older porsche 911, or even and older Audi R8
a nice white r35 ;)
Tax will be quite expensive due to the new supplement for over £40k cars
yeah i was told that earlier. They are bringing out new rates for the new tax year... Bummer!
Jay Kay think it's only for new registered cars though. Not retrospective for used ones. He says as was promised his S3 in march which will arrive in July. Sigh.
You can get fully specked golf r dsg for around 33k now from vw your model will be worth around 23/24k
how come there are nearly new ones on auto trader north of £35k though?
Jay Kay you can get the old model on the vw web site
you mean for the MK7.5 right? Which isn't out for 9 more months apparently?
where is the fully specced price of 33k mate? I just added DCC, Nav pro and App connect and I'm looking at a RRP of £36,820.
My spec R is (assuming the R now comes with the Navigation system standard) is £32,180 which is more than i paid for mine a year ago actually lol.
Can you link us this fully loaded one @ 33k buddy?
Jay Kay if you got your from the main dealer for less as I said why assume everybody will pay full price plus dealers are getting rid of old stock. My r comes on first of march
I'd go go Mercedes A45AMG. Awesome car.
forgot to say top speed 190 mph 0-60 3.9 and 510 bhp ferrari based engine...
Aright buddy do you fancey doing a colab your golf R and my Gti would make good content let me no 👍🏻🎥🚗🇬🇧
Hello mate. Sounds an interesting idea but at the moment im really busy with work and that. I've got a queue of test drive videos building up too so we'll have to arrange something further dwn the line. I cannot give you any dates yet though unfortunately! Wherre ar you based mate?
Yeh no worries buddy, let me no when your free im down near Andover way mate.
ok we could probably do a video in central London one time. I'll let you know when im free mate
Yeh that would be good mate let me no 👍🏻
Only 3 cars: used cayman s 2009- 2014, corvette 17 grand touring model (the name alludes me), or m-2.Cayman s is by far most fun, corvette most impressive, and BMW greatest balance given its rear seat.
tbh you cant compare the two cars.. youve got a high spec VW which will always have better options than a entry level porsche. thats premium brands for you, vw isnt premium
Focus rs?
nah its almost identical performance wise. I gave one a thorough test drive last September. Great car though! I think like someone mentioned earlier if i cant find anything or if i cant sell my R for a good price id stage 1 and 2 it
Jay Kay yeh im yet to test drive an rs they look nice i had the st so guessing its the same sort of thing.
Im still enjoying my GTI at the moment the r does look great tho
Test drive the mk3 RS and and dsg and see what you think. I launched the RS too and it felt the same as my R's on power delivery. How long do you think you'll keep your gti for?
Jay Kay yeh il defo book a test drive just to see what its like and i will prob have the GTI for another year! Im just considering a stage 1 to bring it alive its only 230bhp just want abit more power delivery
golf beats the RS in a sprint as well not an upgrade but a downgrade !!
Jag F type?
yes thats another car worth investigating! Jaguar is a brand i havent ever considered actually! Mainly because you dont get a lot of young people driving them around here. But certainly worth a look at

maybe Nissan gtr or new honda nsx. the new road tax rules come out as well in april any car over 40k book price is gonna cost more. eas looking at the toyota other week forget what its called looks great till you sit in it and then its nasty interior hits you.
Just spend 1500$ for a tune and dsg remap and get 3.8 to 60
You said you wouldn't go RS3 because the performance is too close to Golf R but the RS3 is just as fast as the M2.
Yes but you're missing several important differences between the m2 and the rs3. Rear wheel drive. 6 cylinders. Superior handling. The m2 is a step closer to a sports car
Yes no doubt. I was only saying because that was the only reason you gave for not going to the RS3. What do you think about the Mercedes A45 AMG or Nissan GTR?
Golf R beat the RS3 round the track because the Audi handled crap
Yes that's true but you don't buy a car just based on how it is on the track. Otherwise no one would buy the Golf R, the Seat Leon cupra and Focus RS beat it on track, probably the civic type R too. The RS3 is fine on the road and that 5 cylinder engine is a beauty. Great straight line performance too with people getting under 4 seconds 0-60 times.
I thought Audi upgraded the 17 RS3 for better handling?
Hey Jay have you looked at the new tax rules for April? Any car over £40k will have extra tax to pay! So another reason to stick with the R, im considering the R facelift but this time DSG get so much bang for your buck with this sheep in wolves clothing!
Or should I say wolf in sheeps clothing haha
lol no i didnt realise that! Im guessing the new rules will apply to cars sold from new from the start of the new tax year, so if you buy a car now which is over 40k it will still qualify for the old tax rules? What a waste of taxpayer money making yet more tax rules on cars...
Jay Kay aye you should google it for some reason not a lot of motorists know about it
Vw gives you so much more features and tech for your money compared to Porsche.
Get an Rs3, It's faster than the Golf R, Looks Better, Everything about it is just better
I test drive the rs3 before I bought the golf r. It was close too
Which one do you think is better
On public roads (not driven either on track) they feel the same. The Audi sounds better with its 5cylinders but the price difference meant for me the golf r was a bargain. Of course you can argue the rs3 has held its value better than the r but it's very hard to prove that because specs are all over the place, plus the rs3 would have cost s lot more to run and maintain
Jay Kay True
What do you think about the Alpha Romeo 4c
Audi RS3
m140, m240
I'd get an Audi RS3😈
Or a TTRS
Agreed and as you say TTRS. Personally I'd have the TT because it looks stunning, and that R8 steering wheel is epic. Also the power...
your driving position and steer handling is actually quite bad ;)
since it's very important for safety, can you watch an instruction video and then make one yourself and post it on your channel?
quite bad for driving at 30-50mph?? I dont think anything will result in laid back driving at those speeds lol. It could be a possible video though for spirited b road driving

im still on the side line but think ive narrowed it down to BMW M2 competition or Porsche Cayman GT4. Im in no rush anyway and still happy wi the R
@@jaykay7932 my mates had a mk7 r for a couple of years and he's just upgrading to a 7.5 r. I think its one hell of a car.
yeah its a mad car. mad in every sense of the word because its cheap on tax, insurance and maintenance as well! Looking at CO2 rules makes cars like the M2 really expensive in comparison. One car to look out for in 2019 (apparently) is the Golf R 400. I could see me upgrading to that if it happens
Have you seen the M2 review on ECOTY 2016?? Might change your mind on getting one, horrible ride in the real world on real roads and it got it's arse handed to it..... strangely it was another golf, the club sport gti that did really well..... ;) Stick with VW mate
m.th-cam.com/video/QxthzMs_M-M/w-d-xo.html
mate you've just shown what twats these guys are!! I read their original review of the BMW M2 and they've completely U-turned their decision!! I just put a comment on their wall showing my frustration!! I think the only way to be sure is go and test r=dtive the car yourself... which unfortunately isn't possible with the M2. Fortunately though there are far cheaper better BMW alternatives... Look how cheap 14reg M5's are lol. I think what i might do though is stage 1, 2 and 3 my R before letting it go and seeing what that sort of power feels like in a small car
Jay Kay
I agree with what you are saying about how they have gone back on what they said originally, but in their defence they don't lie about the fact, they said in the ECOTY video that they initially loved this car on the track and smooth roads but once they got it on real roads they realised how bad it was..... so at least they ain't hiding from the initial review.
But, maybe they should have taken it to the 'real roads' in the bloody first place!
All the best mate,
Lee.

Anyone of these three if you want a coupe at reasonable money new or low mileage good spec demo. Imho Porsche is best.
civic type r
Mercedes A45 amg
M2 is one hell of a car. I'm stretching the budget but it's still not in reach. It's the best M car that you currently get, a true drivers machine that doesn't sacrifices all the every day usability. Get it with dct since manuals even on an M car are just for nostalgics and nothing more.
PS: M2 is not twinturbo. All the 3.0L are from 2011 (if I'm not wrong) single turbo (twin scroll, so again if I'm not wrong it has one hot turbo with two compressors, scrolling through them.. but still single turbo). Cayman/Boxster S might be single turbo but it's a one hell of a setup... it's a variable geometry turbine. Just like the only other petrol car that has a VGT... 911 Turbo S
BMW interior is horrible. Wouldn't touch it.
Yes that is sort of true, BMW dont really do great interiors. I believe it was one of the few negative feedback from reviews too from the press! What would you go for?
get a loan and buy a GT3 RS
you have no idea how tempted i was. Porsche offered me a GT3 for 900 a month with a baloon payment of 75k and a 25k deposit. So so tempted and my work friends said do it. But id rather invest in profitable assets now so il keep the golf for a while yet.
