It is just me or does he sometimes dress the same colour as the cars he's reviewing!? Very cool!
LOL, almost every reviewer do it!
Saved too much money on MK8
MK7 was Porsche Hatchback
You could tell R&D money wasn’t spared.
Excellent review!
Very professional high level video. Love this man.
I like this dude. Good details, with he has a funny kind of style
So nice to see Thomas bundled up, that's when I know Christmas is coming. :P Schonen guten abend!
Very cool review, Thomas! I always love the Golf! Clean and simple design lines! Cheers 🍻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Interior designers missed the mark. The simple functional excellence of the earlier versions now has some sort of contrived design element on each surface. Hatches, honeycomb, microfibre, bright panels, colored lines, fibre patterns.
Looks like a unfinished experiment in surface finish. Too busy. Very much detracts from the cohesiveness of earlier interiors.
Does not look like a German car. Form should follow function. Did they hire Chris Bangle to fuck up the Golf?
Thank you Thomas for nice review video. Miss my golf iii already 😊
👌
Love Autogefuhl put a camera behind the driver so we can see the cockpit while driving. Incredible most other car channels don't do this, they think we want to see the presenter's face rather than the car.
👌
Excellent review as always Thomas. I initially thought that VW had ruined the new Golf but this has been the first Mk8 GTI I have looked at and thought it looks OK, I still wouldn’t buy one. This may also be down to the Grey colours with decals and red caliper combination. In the meantime I will have to make do with my Grey GTI TCR, another awesome Golf with a great review by Autogefühl. It also has a gas strut on the bonnet😉
Awesome review of a fantastic car👍
Awesome Man my fav car 👍
Still a great car , even after all this time. The type of car for all people , everywhere ! Many thanks 👍🏼😀
+1 for the 2021 Volkswagen GTI Club Sport. .. GTI's owned; '83, '86, '90 and '06. . The MVP of daily driver cars.
Still prefer a bigger shift handle
Door-closing-sound test without Evaluation ! Please tell us, good or bad sound ?
Very interesting video ! Hard choice between R and CS.
cheers!
Great production as usual Thomas and fantastic car to boot!
And here we are in the United States still waiting for our regular GTI. Its taking so freaking long!!!
It must be so shit for you guys. I don’t even think they sold the GTI TCR in the states.
The best looking GTI ever made so far brilliant engine and exhaust sound but a car that sounds this good should have a better 0-60.
I really like the color of this one!
Living in the states we are still waiting for the Mk8. As we won’t be blessed with the club sport I am curious what engine modifications are done to the club sport to achieve the 50 hp difference?
God bless you Autogefuhl
Hi. Is there an active valve for the exhaust piping?
Would like to know if this GTI would have better have better handling with Quattro system
The 2021 VW GTI counterpart the '21 Audi A3/S3 has an engine hood gas-strut apparatus, compared to the GTI's inelegant solid stick arm gismo.
I really think that volkswagen missed the mark with the touch sensitive buttons and wanting to control everything through that bad navigation system which is surrounded by some hideous plastic
Agreed. I can get over the drab exterior, but the interior makes it impossible for me to like this car even with the admittedly compelling performance improvements.
As a Golf 8 owner, I don't mind the touch screen for various reasons:
1. I do not use the touch screen besides music which I set up before I go.
2. I enjoy driving, thus, I like driving fast, so the screen for me is irrelevant
3. I don't mind the touch screen, I got used to it
4. Music is the only reason I use the touch screen. For temperature, I set it accordingly before I go.
Thomas & Autogefühl team - Excellent review as usual. I'm particularly interested in the GTI sub-brand and changes from the Mk.7. The video production and commentary quality is exceptional across the board. Especially so is your frank and insightful comments, unlike most other reviewers, isn't a biased critique or commercial about the car (any car) and the associated automotive technology. Regardless of the powerplant, ICE, pure battery electric and everything in between, I can rely on Autogefühl to lay bare the strengths and weakness of a car. Bravo! Keep Autogefühl Full HD, Full Screen and Full Length!
thanks so much! Love to hear that.
@T CappOG .. +1. .. Could not agree more. .. Tier One automotive journalism .. Cheers,
In a car like that I wouldn't get a panorama roof. I don't miss it in my R.
Adds weight and can be prone to rattles with the glass frame wearing after a couple of years.
Quality review , Nice watch , Damasko?
I drove the new 245 gti and it was so much better than my golf R 7.5. It did everything better. And it was very quick. The engine and dsg feels very aggressive and pulls hard.
Premium petrol only though which will be up to 10% part bio fuel by the end of summer 2021, will performance cars like this and the R suffer? In the 7.5 you can change gear with the shifter, can you do that with the new micro shifter?
Gas struts tends to give up with time and in cold, but I had a car where that fixed hood holder disengaged somehow :) And yeah, somehow 8th Golf's design do not impress me still, even when I see it live, have been waited something more definitely. But I like interior.
Ordering mine next week!!
A nice idea until you realize it is priced like previous Golf Rs and far less capable. A real take away.
Isn't a base Model 3 or Mustang E a much better value in this price range? Plus you can green brag.
Side and rear quarter profile looks great. Still not sure about the front and the interior looks too plasticky. The dash bezel is way too thick, much more elegant in the 7.5.
The spec of the Clubsport should have been what the base GTI started at IMO.
They totally destroyed the exterior design of an otherwise decent looking Golf with the front on the mk8, and it's even worse on this Clubsport version.
I'm not sure about the lack of voice control for the AC being due to not having the 3-zone AC as you can still control it through the infotainment screen. Is voice control not handled by the MIB 3 infotainment system? In the Tiguan facelift (even with 3-zone AC) it is also not possible. I'm curious as to the reason. I thought this was standard functionality of the current VW generation models.
official VW source said this would be the reason for it
Thanks Thomas.
I would like to meet the person, who choses an octavia rs over this, only because that has gas struts for the hood..... 😂🤣
love the design, apart from the front grill on the left side where its just large plastic honeycomb with no perforations..
also that large light for the blind spot assist is very nice. hate the small light in the mirror...
The new golf's are the reason my next car will be an Abt Transporter!
Will you review MEGANE RS, it would be fantastic to have your thoughts on that car also 🤷♂️🙏
will try to !
@@autogefuehl can't wait to watch it on full hd full screen and full length 🔥🤩
great review R or Clubsport its going to be a difficult choice i think clubsport !
Same problem here, also tending to CS. But then i also love 4 wheel drive, is it worth the substantial extra cost ?
@@ginoderdaele9293 well i got the clubsport and considering i drove an awd before the cs, i can say that the cs is more exciting to drive. awd is more reliable during snowy times though but when you're sliding, the awd won't help much either. I would suggest to get the CS and fully equip it with all the stuff you can get.
@@dominikstahl9704 Thanks for your opinion ! I agree. The CS will be the most probable choice.
@@ginoderdaele9293 you're welcome :). It definitly drives like a dream i can asure that (mine doesnt have dcc though).
What is the fuel economy
Always get a sun/moon roof :)
after hearing about numerous recalls,here near frankfurt one new golf hybrid EXPLODED the other day and burst into flames. no thanks volkswagen,not even if it was free
How do you compare this Clubsport to the 7.5 TCR? Many diferences?
enjoy this: th-cam.com/video/HgO9gTVecKw/w-d-xo.html
Wow. What a car👌🏻
Nice and good looking,
Sound is awesome...
P.s.What's new about burnt new GTE in Hessen?
Is this a pre-production car? Is that why the touch screen seems rather sluggish?
No, it is really slow...
Are you getting a new Citroen C4 to test?
And Opel Mokka too
Beautiful sporty and powerful car. If only I was 50 years younger !
@@MT-kx2uc Exactly, 50 years ago I had a 2nd hand Fiat 850 while living in a 2 roomed flat !
Sorry Thomas, not impressive gear lever, they will dissolve it later and put on the steering wheel like did the Merc! This one is so small, it can't be used to shift in manual mode.
I hate directional rims! They look different depending on which side of the car you are looking at...
same...
Where is the spare?
Great video but when are you going to test the GTD?
also in the making :)
@@autogefuehl I look forward to it, thanks
Is it possible to remove the rev limiters on cars?
Yes easily
As speed it seems noisy, surfaces vibrate and seems twitchy. Wouldn't it benefit more compliant tires? Is it a car you could sustain the beating the driver gets at 160 kph for 15 minutes?
Any modern car with average horsepower figures can sustain 160 for hours. It's noisy because of stiff suspension and huge wheels, tyres alone won't do much.
@@UhOhUmm thanks... I clarified my question...
i'll go for CUPRA!
I own a 18 golf R ! My dealer range me about the new golf ! He had a new R and a new GTI club sport . I tested both and then turned him down as these cars are beyond ugly . VW you have ruined it .
Enjoy your 2018 Golf R man. The mk 7.5 and mk7 are the best looking R!
@@GalaxyDragon totally
Thomas famous shoe tap
5:15
Clear all the R&D went to the EVs.
Judging from the roll out of the ID3 in EU, more specifically some of the feedback from the first customers, appears as if they should have committed more validation & verification testing to have a refined and robust software platform. Either way, VAG will sort it out....
I don't think they did enough visually to differentiate it from the regular GTi.
Back looks similar to the Hyundai I30N
Idk about this Golf 8. The exterior styling lacks that it factor for me and the interior styling and functionality is sub par.
VW UP! GTI Clubsport? That would be good! The Golf has become too BIG! Small nippy & fun !
In summary, the Golf GTI illustrates the problem the new millennium consumer faces. A better $27k car has become a no more capable "jazzed up" $40k car to increase financial returns and satisfy increasing regulations.
I guess that's the price of progress
@@altern8tiveWhat... We have otherwise low productive greens joyuously making burdensome regulations in high wage government bureaucracies that encumber life for all of us. They call that progress.
Still cannot get over that ugly front. Im a big GTI fan but not with this generation. Gonna keep my GTI clubsport 3 doors.
Is it worth the price difference between this and the i30N Fastback?
I love panoramic roofs in my cars, I have a Tiguan with one and an Tiguan Allspace without one and it feels much more sombre without it.
My personal favourite hot hatch for Southern Europe. For Northern Europe I would go for R.
4x4?
@@Peter-il2fv Yep
@@j.r.3664 maybe Honda is better
What's the German price for this setup ?
well looks like it has most to all equipment so about 48.000 to 50.000€. however you can save about 20% if you go to the right dealer.
it starts at 42.000€
@@dominikstahl9704 insanity, I bought an all new GTI 7.0 full option manual for 36k, already including Mwst. To be honest that's 7 years ago, but still...its a golf GTI...
I would say these prices are Golf R territory.
@@IXtremos666 yeah i know the prices are way too high, however compared to audi you would only get a new 150 ps a3 for that price if that makes it any better
I wonder why VW is making these clubsport gti-s . If you want more powerful GTI, just get the R.
Because the GTI brand is emotional for people and therefore makes the car more appealing
GTi is front wheel drive, the R has selective all wheel drive.....if you don't want the hassle of a haldex then you get the GTi....plus 95% of people only buy the R because it's the top level, not the best one for them.
Wow I love the VW golf
Thomas 300 hp is not much for my FK8, virtually no torque steer.😁
Is there going to be a mk8 TCR?
no
@@dominikstahl9704 ok boss cheers
@@ntube7 xD
They quit the TCR team or smth like that so there wont be a mk8 tcr...
The steering wheel in the VW 8 generation are horrible, 7th generation was better
Totally agree. Not sporty looking whatsoever.

How the hell can the golf 8 still make popping noises but the Cupra sounds like a mouse since 2019. Makes me so mad.
I think that popping sound ridiculous, sorry to say. Personal opnion. Sounds like an old rally car. I want street car. Also it is apparently extra pollution from those pops, although relatively unsignificant. :)
This or the S3 for me.
The mk8 is disappointing
Maybe the Mazda is better
👍👍👍👍
Wait for Cupra petrol 300 , much much better
Early in, should mention the unavailability in the United States and maybe even add a speculation about why not. Also may list other large significant countries which they are not available in and again, speculative reason, reasons may be different. A large number of American buyers, especially the young kids, probably often choose other cars, manufacturers which are lower priced, and may have a few horsepower more...but they don't understand Fahrvergnügen !!!.... .
I dont like it. Ugly front end, bland/dull sides and rear and a cheap looking interior with a crazy mix of finishes, angles and materials. I am guessing a decent proportion of buyers of this car will be enthusiasts and yet it has one of the most catastrophically dull engine bays I have ever seen - nothing in there of interest to show off for sure. To me, its lost its identity and brand values - its trying to play the bling game with lots of flashy tech and unusable interfaces and yet its also trying to be fast and focussed. I would find it a much more interesting car if the exterior design was simplified and made more subtly menacing. The inside should be 'lightened up' visually and the number of different materials reduced but made higher quality. Ditch the crappy and already outdated looking tech and go with Android for a better look, simplicity and functionality that errrr .... actually functions.
An option for weight purposes? Marketing is at it again.
Das ist kein metallic sondern uni
You said "fart" 😃
No Android Auto ?
does have
Why would anyone want/need Fandroid Auto spyware from Gaggle?
@@DavGreg Because i don't have rip off Apple.
15, not 50 mm
All black interior again 😪... like toyota and honda, I don't see any new performance in the GTi 🤔... I will see what the Megane has to offer.
This must be one of the worse interiors of the segment for this year, so many cheap plastics surprised you didn't mentioned it more!
Why doesn't the US get this GTI model?
Too fast
@@johnmfjw Since the new Golf R will have even more power, I don't think the Clubsport would be "too fast".
Why is not 4 wheels drive ????
that's the Golf R: ► th-cam.com/video/0De7uDNqRW8/w-d-xo.html
I prefer hyundai i30 N
