Took about a week off, but got lots of content filmed! M140i update in a few days 🙂

[@kyler9070]

What I wanted to hear this whole week 😷

[@umarnawaz6350]

I saw your m140i a few days ago parked on a road were you filming some content there

[@dennis.r1064]

Nice vid Hamz, Keep saying to myself im gonna start making proper vids but never get round to it. Don't think people realise how much work goes into a quick vid like this 👍🏽 Got a Milltek exhaust on order might do a vid on that 😬

[@_Kela]

Got that turbo g

[@charlien8148]

Want some volvo vids too! C'mon hamz you know you wanto 😋

[@SK-fn5qm]

A car review is NEVER complete until Hamza gets hold of one!! 🔥

[@DiabloRMCF7]

Who destroyed the Clubsport with this wheels...

[@jonnygti]

VW designers ?😂

[@BT-ot6gm]

They ruin the car for me they look so cheap and not sporty whatsoever

[@SAS-qf3qh]

@@BT-ot6gm Agreed 💯 have that mid 90s rounded look 😫

[@Keka-vg3ut]

What are you people talking about it's a golf it won't look aggressive whatsoever never has

[@jacobhandsgti266]

Would really like to see a build with the mk8 GTI! My MK7 PP GTI is stage 2 running 340hp (video out soon.) But the fact this could go to 450hp stage one is mental! This thing could be a monster with the right cooling and breathing

[@goqob2776]

The looks of the MK8 GTI have grown on me. But I'd still take a MK7.5 over it

[@Al-rz4xo]

Truss me goqob

[@starzx6475]

I feel like golf finally gone back to that in ur face sporty which I love just like ur vids

[@THBULLDOZER]

Back to your roots Hamza. I remember when you reviewed the mk7 club sport! That was a sick car👌👍

[@user-no6zg4so1c]

Love a Tr hamza upload on a Friday night 😆👍

[@Dmp287]

I see hamza uploaded a video I click

[@mpatel3037]

Allahumma Barik!🔥🔥🔥🔥 The wheels though 🤔🤔🤔

[@escos0410]

Exactly he same spec and colour as ours! it was that or the R and Im certainly not disappointed of our choice. We’ve had ours 2 weeks now

[@TRHamza]

Great cars! Enjoy mate

[@jryalls]

I thought you had lots of options on yours?

[@DiiZZZZY]

rather get 7.5 the messed up the mk8...from the rims..front...interior...seats are the only nice thing if that

[@mattwa83]

I got the standard GTI which is quick enough for me and more understated (awful alloys), although wish I got this now. GTI does what you want it to do and well planted but the digital interior is frustrating and some of the interior material quality is poor. Good review Hamza

[@fawad.s]

Been waiting for a m140i video in soooo long I can’t wait mannn

[@timtakhar]

Didn’t see this pop up, great review. You seem a down to earth guy man, love the reviews and all the work you’re doing to cars. You should take your cars around a circuit once you’ve finished all your mods. Could do a track time before the mods and one once you’re finished. Stay safe 👍🏾👍🏾

[@Driver20418]

Great video bro keep making these videos it is very fun and entertaining. Next why not do a video on the MK8 GOLF R

[@davidsomething4867]

How about a review of the 2021 Petrol Leon Cupra. The price has increased though, my 2018 Cupra 290 had a OTR price of around £30K but they are now around £35K why has price risen of cars so much in last few years??? Don't like that new control screeen and boy is it slow, nor do I like that gear selector either. What do you do to put it in manual DSG mode without it swapping back to auto?? Loving the M140i content by the way I think that the M140i will hold value now somehow, more of a drivers car and more involving I guess, I thought about it when looking at the Cupra but never driven a high power RWD apart from my dads 2.0L MK5 For Cortina when I was 18, lol.

[@Mac_F87]

Probably PCP and PCH deals have had a big part to play. Manufactures know they can charge stupid prices for cars and they are still affordable on PCP or PCH.

[@Masa6x]

@@Mac_F87 I take it this is why shitbox cars made past 2017-18 are still hella expensive for what it is, even after depreciation

[@gianlucatuzi1498]

Estoril alloys already gives the car a whole different look

[@mechanicom]

Almost the same Reg as my new Clubsport 😀. Came from a VW UP so you can imagine how I’m feeling about this l! Outer space 👊nice driving man...

[@DV-pb7hf]

Quality content once again - seriously, others need to watch and learn

[@DjNikGnashers]

Another great video matey. Nice presenting style, not too much flashy editing, just decent content, and I like the way you don't have the music at 3 TIMES THE VOLUME AS THE NARRATION like a lot of other clowns on KZbin. Many thanks, really enjoyed this. It's a great drivers car for a FWD. I don't like the wheels, they are horrible. Also don't like flat bottomed anything let along steering wheels lol, get some full round big booty wheel in ya cars !

[@ChrisBird1]

It revs really well

[@DP-zd9dp]

Still can’t get my head around the standard wheels 🥴

[@Riceyminimad]

Absolute guff

[@THEG12EG]

Easy fix.. Mk7 ones weren't great

[@jonnygti]

Don’t know what it is about new cars and shit looking alloys! My work mate has a new Hyundai 70 plate, nice little car, but again the alloys look wank, didn’t tell him that though 😂 The 16” 5 spokes on my standard 2005 Toyota look way better

[@360FAMOUZ360]

Agreed they are brutal

[@shanecolton3500]

13 mins of a big massive grin on my face. Brilliant video. Bloody covid means I can't get to a vw garage for a tyre kick. But tbh thus video is better than one. Big vag fan but don't think I can forgive vw for what they've done to the infotainment and heating controls

[@ollieharrison1400]

You like FWD with power, do a Mini GP3 build !

[@relaycampervan]

You need to drive the new R next.

[@AldoM2C]

Nice video, really wanting to get this in grey with the black 19" wheels.

[@leeg131313]

The wheels are awful. Needs petorias or whatever they were on the golf r

[@phantom2k10]

wrench studios have already done a stage 2 on an 8r.Be interesting to see what the power figures are now.This looks fun to drive though can't lie

[@charliepimm1242]

Just seen you down the Stratford road!! Keep up the vids 👍🏼

[@honestreview1043]

I'd like to see you get one of these and tune it once tuning becomes available. 👍

[@Josh_0579]

The reason you didn't see a manual mk8 gti is because they haven't be delivered yet

[@andrewmontague2636]

Loved this review, Hamza. I’m liking this Clubsport over the R, thinking of one to replace my 7.5R

[@Beardchanics]

Great video, looks like a damn fun car!

[@gazza2004]

Great video as always! The GTI Clubsport is like a butterface, but the wheels are the face. Cracking body, let down by ugly wheels! I will definitely be speccing the 19" Adelaides alloys on mine, even if they are really heavy.

[@richiebtime489]

Think you can get hefty discounts on these

[@Riceyminimad]

First thing I did when I bought my mk 7.5 Gti was dump them wheels off and got some black prets, to be honest the mk8 ones look even worse!

[@sitelford8469]

Wish I held out for a clubby now instead of rushing out buying a standard being inpatient 😂

[@devicebackup664]

Golf gti mk8 or seat Leon cuppa 300 which one would you pick ?

[@Patient_Lion_BS]

New channel banner looks mad bro 🤘

[@TRHamza]

Thank you bro! 👊🏼

[@markhyoutube]

Was the car on passive dampeners? I'm thinking of buying one next year and wonder if the ride is too harsh?

[@thomascrossland2139]

Great video bro Great insight on the golf 🔥

[@markdennis7119]

Always great video car 🚙 content.

[@denseljosephs9500]

Cheers you're a natural at this.

[@eddiegibbons6428]

Great video I have the same mk8 clubsport and u reviewed it pin point to how I feel it drives. Brilliant 💪🏽💪🏽

[@TRHamza]

Glad you liked it! 🙌🏼

[@adamfleming5206]

Looks much nicer than the R

[@dennis.r1064]

Was thinking the same thing 🤦🏽‍♂️ front of the R was like they got bored and couldn't be bothered to finish it

[@khaleelrana4880]

Its okay I would have it in black plus change the wheels to oz I think👍🏿

[@byrnesy919]

GTI Clubsport vs 128TI ? Cant decide....

[@fusionlord2533]

Tbf I would pick the S3 over any of the golf’s.. The whole interior isn’t practical and just a headache.

[@dennis.r1064]

New shape S3 it's way ahead of the Golf R Compared to Mk7. Mk7 R made last S3 look like an A3

[@andrewdavey1837]

at work there an mk8 gti and fiat tipo that looks like twins so in my eyes the mk8 got even more fugly because the rear off the mk8 and the tipo al basically the same

[@jeff1827]

Which versions can you tune? Thinking of getting one but want to tune it up.. If you can help me out

[@peterbennpan7288]

What do you mean you can't tune this cars? Is it the ECU is to new to crack?

[@davidswallow2746]

So, which is faster down a country road, this club sport or stock 140?

[@mohammedahdeel3895]

Wheres the volvo content?

[@starzx6475]

If wanna mod a simulure car try the seat cupra as it surprising modable

[@glennclark4212]

Great vid enjoy your reviews

[@peterbennpan7288]

So its not an is38 turbo anymore in the Mk8 R and new Clubsport?

[@lsimicek]

Nice video, thanks. Does anybody have the experience, how much stiffer is the susspension of Golf GTI Clubsport over the standard GTI? Is it still OK from comfort of riding perspective for every day driving? Thanks

[@Jcn-01]

Have you got any plans or future vids for the r32 or volvo?

[@starzx6475]

Will the a GTi TRC? And if there is it better than the club sport

[@123MondayTuesday]

Locked ECU? Is that the same on all Golf mk8s????????

[@TheCannabisProject]

It's like that with majority of new cars when first released they have to unlock the ECU before it can be tuned

[@123MondayTuesday]

@@TheCannabisProject who’s ‘they’? VW or the car modification hackers? Hamza said the reason he didn’t buy the GTI was because it was locked. But it sounds like he would just have to wait a few months for someone to unlock the ECU?

[@TRHamza]

Yes apart from HGP in Germany no one else has released a ECU tune for the MK8 yet, a lot of new cars are locked (new M3 etc)

[@123MondayTuesday]

@@TRHamza interesting. So when the mk7 golf came out was that locked for the first few months too before different companies figured it out?

[@sonymao1]

Beautiful stile but too many electronic updates and in the us we don’t have too much quality awareness on that so I stick to my 2019 an take care of it as long as I can mechanics on US too expensive I don’t know in Europe but the car looks awesome 👍👍👍👍

[@Holtii14]

Would you class going to this from a 7.5 Golf R a downgrade ? The front wheel drive puts me off

[@matthewsmith2787]

Mk6 GTI was the best one ever made

[@BB2001.]

Don’t really like how some of the bumper parts are plastic😬

[@JohnSmith-id6qm]

Looks a bit cheap on the inside given how much it costs

[@mikeormond7883]

No 3 door spoils a hot hatch for me, but it’s the new norm now ☹️

[@the_dark_ranger3740]

🔥🔥🔥

[@davidvilla4504]

Better this or r?

[@DatGameCollector]

Are those calipers the same a pp mk 7r?

[@1saqibk]

BMW alloy wheels are unmatched. WTF are these standard wheels VW?

[@mikemayers9353]

i can not get a clubsport in my country

[@nikosdanelakis3613]

👌👌👌

[@fatwalletboy2]

I look at the height of the wheel arch creases which seems really heavy like 3 inches ? Reminds me of the hashed up design Peugeot have on their 3008. The wheels looks terrible too small and very narrow. It might drive nice but the looks are a step backwards inho. The red stripes in the seats remind me of a ford capri Laser.......no sorry but i wouldnt buy one.

[@matthewharris9863]

remember when i bought a GTI and sold it after 3 months because it was boring.

[@leevweleevwe4813]

The wheels are probably the worst wheels I have ever seen. Another great review though

[@dreamcrusher112]

Will be interesting to see how this compares to the new Cupra or the Formentor. Those wheels are pretty ugly can't lie lol

[@THBULLDOZER]

It’s just them wheels. It looks too electric

[@user-xl7fn9zf6b]

Shudda used the whole sketchy phrase agen man😂

[@bfcfan2739]

Great review. Looks don’t really look an upgrade on the standard and they are some of the ugliest wheels I’ve seen on any car

[@eduardogdlpegomezperez8480]

-10:39/13:06 talvez no sea yo el primero en notar lo pero vieron ya le metieron un buen chingaso a esos rines

[@olidungey3995]

Think the new cars have lost their way with styling

[@tubejorrit]

My playstation loads the nurburgring faster than this car changes drive-modes :')

[@nimraawais9074]

Steering wheel is disappointing

[@VSTV1993]

Can VW not unlock the ECU for a big fee? Lol

[@celtos255]

im pretty sure that most ecus are locked from factory, its just a matter of time before tuners work out how to bypass it

[@VSTV1993]

@@celtos255 ohh, i never knew that lol, i thought it was just a case of tuners finding compatible software/tune for that certain ECU

[@adammaster1078]

the plastic on the exterior and the alloys look terrible

[@johnwickr678]

The new front light strip across on the new golfs look propa shit and cheap plus the wheels and that lag would piss me off mrk 7 is the one

[@RaybanzUK]

doesn’t this have the same engine as the R?

[@user-xl7fn9zf6b]

Volkswagen hav ruined it with these new shapes for the gti and the r man, its never gonna be the sme

[@Abc-th9mv]

They aren’t that bad it’s only because it’s a new design people aren’t with it, a change was due

[@TIM612826]

Nice, tune my mk7 then lol

[@thomas_rellum]

The wheels... 😭

[@Rayshaz1234]

Hi

[@gtipirelli7873]

Lol i bet you miss the real GTI..... Edition 30 💯

[@trackdiaries]

Just needs the mk7 R wheels. These mk8 wheels are a joke.

[@bigwaps3370]

🇵🇰❤🇬🇧

[@TheBeebg]

Good car - honking alloys 🤮

[@gtiak274]

7,5 GTI TCR is the better looking und emotional car!

[@indykalia8224]

Interior sucks! Lack of 3 door is shameful!

[@LKG4MING1]

Looks awful compared to the mk7 🤣

[@fasteee]

This is one ugly golf !
