2016 STAGE 2 VW GOLF R DRIVING POV/REVIEW // ABSOLUTELY BONKERS!!!

[@peterlee2279]

Thanks for a lovely honest review.

[@monsignorkelly6419]

Was I the only one who saw the rear view mirror at 8:02

[@Ben-pn6zo]

Can we have an updated live leaderboard of 30-70 times?

[@Birmingham_racing]

Brilliant all rounders

[@viction7236]

Do a stage 2 140 for comparison?

[@markymark3295]

Mines getting the last bits put on mine tomorrow ready for stage 2 + currently stage 1

[@anonymous070dhanonymous3]

Can you describe the diffrence

[@maximt1401]

Lovely motor ... has it been nicked yet 😅😓? I want one too but super para its gonna get pinked, or soe yobbo is going to kick in my house door for the keys and immobilizer code. :(

[@Adamlllllllllllljjjljljjjjj]

Great video and mental car

[@davidkowalski5869]

Can you share what downpipe is installed on this and is it downpipe only? Or res delete too?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

not sure on the brand but it was most likely a cobra sport sports cat. And yeah had a res delete

[@Taurid-swarm-2032]

Have you driven a golf R estate yet?

[@CrazzieGamer]

you say the golfs interior isn't the most flashy interior. What would you say has the nicest interior for the sort of money?

[@zekielbarker4039]

Mercedes probably has the best interior going where as a gold interior I just think it looks rubbish

[@slonkijippie]

@@zekielbarker4039 Yeah it looks good but as soon as you touch it you get a creak that echoes for a thousand years

[@zekielbarker4039]

@@slonkijippie what would you say is the best interior?

[@S1B58]

Yh Mercedes has the best imo too

[@Ztxk94]

Audi for me but everyone has their preferences

[@andrewkennan8812]

It could do with a junkier steering wheel

[@jasonelliott8101]

Can you get a new X3m comp and do 30-70

[@JonathanBrown-e6r]

What bhp you have mate?

[@genericmodz]

It should be above 400 there's a guy near me who has a MRC stage 2 tuned golf r and he said his is at 410

[@CannondaleDad]

I know its an old video but curious to know who mapped it?

[@Ryan-ix6sj]

Would the car sound like this if it was a normal golf r?

[@gangsterrap4679]

the thing is do there is a Porsche 911 turbo s tho

[@chrisd2415]

Just as an idea how much were you selling this for, thank you

[@alexanderkarayanis]

Does anyone have an explanation for the 30-70 time rather than 0-60? thanks

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

It's the most common form of acceleration in UK as we usually go from a 30mph limit onto a motorway which has a 70mph limit

[@grahamorourke7155]

Fuel to keep turbo cool 😂🤷‍♂️

[@ashgames1777]

that particular Mercedes doesnt have a 6.2 BTW it has 4.0

[@JonathanBrown-e6r]

45 mpg.. Good luck

[@georgeqzzy1468]

I’ve got 49 mpg out of a MK7 stage 2. Very hard to get that mind you

[@callumhollinger5416]

​@georgeqzzy1468 what mpg do you get driving around town if you drive sensible

[@georgeqzzy1468]

@@callumhollinger5416 25-30mpg. Long term I average around 27mpg which includes hard and normal driving

[@gureno19]

I got 5L/100km in my stage 2+ S3 regularly on long hwy runs. They are better on fuel when they are tuned and breathe better.

[@Edge5055]

Did you have to upgrade the fuel injectors?

[@aboogienohoodie9900]

No

[@Edge5055]

@@aboogienohoodie9900 what size are the stock injectors? MK8 the same size?

[@dionisisgin2720]

Audi s3 vs golf 7 r ?

[@tyranic1]

same engine, same chassis, golf has slightly better handling stock.

[@MT-kx2uc]

Audi S3 better interior, for me the mk7 looks and drives better.

[@pearlsofadaab]

Had an S3, sold it a few weeks back, I prefer Golfs due to the exterior look and how convenient it is.

[@tejzino1598]

What’s a ADAS calibration ?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

It’s the radar cruise control.

[@sv-rh4dz]

They are fast for the money but the 4 wheel drive drivetrain is so dull , you will get bored of it !

[@S1B58]

6 speed is this not dq 381 box?

[@zak4531]

This is a Mk7 not Mk7.5 - so it has a DQ250

Ive seen some mk7 with the 7 speed tho ​@@zak4531

How did the power compare to the RS3??

Felt quicker but the RS3 sounded better

[@69maf]

@@ParagonCarsLondon 👍👍

[@jay55148]

Only if it was a manual.

[@Fhrivneoauf]

I think the problem with this car is that it is dreadfully dull, it feels like they haven’t changed the shape of it for 30 years. Frankly, it could accelerate as fast as an F1 and still be an underwhelming place to sit. Sorry Golf R drivers.

[@BradleySevenfold]

All a matter of opinion, I like them because they typically fly under the radar and unless people know they won’t know. I drive a facelift S3 of the same era because I wanted something a little more special but still a little understated which is good for me because I’m not a flash person 😂

[@jubjub13483]

I have a golf gti and I love the looks. It is little suitable and few little tweaks so you know its different, but nothing too in your face. That's what I want. But everyone is different

[@Kraken2681994]

I have to disagree completely with you. The interior is very well put together and is an awesome place to be. The every day performance that is on tap regardless of road or weather conditions make the Golf R a supercar killing sleeper. Very appealing car

[@michael6125]

You can’t be wrong because it’s all subjective. Because we’re in 2024 they do now look a bit aged. However, like me if you upgrade to the virtual dash and the MIB 2.5 button less infotainment system you’re in a total different position

[@jubjub13483]

@michael6125 True, I have the mk 7.5 so much bigger screen, digital dials, looks very fresh still

[@Whiponized]

[@Phats83]

race mode but you dont use it right 70 mph shit to fast lol

[@07908567]

Now test drive a stage 2 140 or 240 🚀
