2022 VW Golf R Review: 0-60mph, Drift Mode, Sound, Handling & More | Top Gear Tested

[@Zoldran]

Is the UI perfect? Nope. Did it take me more than 10 minutes playing around with it to figure out everything I need to know? Nope. Did I buy one despite all the complaints from others about how bad the infotainment is? Absolutely. The car is a beast and despite the quirkiness of the software, it's not even close to an issue that most reviewers make it out to be. Use the shortcut menu to get anything you want to access frequently and get on with it.

[@Alby911]

Exactly. Anyone who can work a phone or computer, will blitz through these menus.

[@geronimooo260]

Those are « old school conservative car enthusiasts » problems. For the others, the car is fantastic, and the infotainment is great, though it needs a little getting used to. After a few days, it’s a 💥

[@krane15]

@@geronimooo260 Nobody's complaining about the car's practicality or its driving dynamics. The complaints are centered around its pedestrian looking interior and about the UI and its lackluster capabilities which cannot be ignored. It is slow and cumbersome with much to be desired. A bland entry level interior in a car topping 40 grand is unacceptable. VW (as well as other manufacturers) needs to get a team together and focus exclusively on its UI over its entire group. Since its been mentioned, a standardization across the auto industry (similar to cell phones/computers) would be even better. Remember, there's a lot more to personal vehicle use these days than just its driving characteristics and getting from A to B. Nowadays, in a great many cases, people use their cars as an office/work space; and to some extent, a second home -- or at least a room added to it. The cars need to be functional, as well as look and feel inviting. To ignore that trend is just another way car makers will get left behind.

The amount of misinformation in this video is really disappointing. Going into race mode changes it to sport transmission automatically. You can set a short cut for ESC from the pull down menu at the top of the screen. If you're in drift or nurburgring mode it doesn't upshift for you.

[@flacjacket]

@@buntyjha it's not hi tech capacitive touch tech has been around since the last century, it's cost cutting. Capacitive buttons are cheaper and because they are still new to auto interiors they are novel, but they are inferior to physical buttons in an automotive application.

[@briendownie]

@@cwx8 I don't think they're really trying to appeal here... they're just trying to make the car cheaper. capacitive & software controls are easier/cheaper to install, requiring a whole lot less labor. I would rather pay $2k more for a car than have those stupid touch controls. I wrote VW USA that I've owned no fewer than 3 GTI's, and I would have bought another if not for the inane touch controls.

[@Baukevandijk]

They could have removed isolation material between the engine and the passenger compartment to make it sound better instead of the speakers. But then people would get annoyed because of vibrations and noises that are equivalant in a mark 4 golf coming through into the interior. The consumer market nowadays....... i want sportiness but i do not want the compromises. Its like ordering a low calorie salad but you also want some fries and could fancy a dessert afterwards.

[@EricWantz]

I completely agree but then VW doesn’t seem to have an understanding on how to upsell their cars nowadays. Imagine they’d not fit the isolation material if you spec the “authentic racing” option costing, I don’t know, €250 extra

[@lostinbravado]

I like my stealthy R. I like it that no one, even the passengers, knows what it can do. Cops notice me, but then I take it out of sport mode and it simply vanishes. I've had it for 5 years now and I've gone full throttle pretty much every time I've driven it. Yet I currently have zero speeding tickets in the R. I had more tickets in my VR6 "yeti" even though I drove it much slower. But, I live in Vancouver Canada. We have a plague of Tesla's here. And a Tesla Model 3 Performance, in a straight line, invalidates my Golf R. Even tuned. It does it faster and with vastly more stealth (it makes no noise). I can still spoil some EV egos. It's great to watch their faces warp as they realize I'm in front of them. But, this is just a temporary victor. EV's are not the future here, they are the present. I wonder what EV hot hatches will be like? Makes this thread somewhat irrelevant, right? Especially as the Mk9 will almost certainly be an EV. I think an EV R will probably be the best R, given that the R has always leaned towards the understated. That said, I'll still keep my Gas R, hopefully for the rest of my life. I love that little farty thing.

[@Alby911]

@@EricWantz "VW doesn’t seem to have an understanding on how to upsell their cars" - Aside from the fact that the Golf has been around for over 40 years. Cleary VW know the market and how to sell cars.

[@DistractedTrader]

Honestly, the engine is not that nice of a sound. I have a golf R and the front end sound is just fuel injectors ticking. The real noise comes from when you change the downpipe from the turbo to aftermarket. If someone was to install the acropovic exhaust themselves, an aftermarket DP would be a given. I guess VW cant do that due to noise emissions. Also, the fake noise generator which vibrates into the firewall in the MK7 sounds way better. What they did with this one sounds more like what Nissan has in their GTR- which sounds way too electronic. Possibly suggesting VW removed the firewall vibrator and just does it through speakers now.

[@soundseeker63]

There is a difference between making an engine louder and making it sound interesting. This car, when all said and done, has blown 2L four pot with all the necessary emissions control equipment of the moment on it. There really isn't a whole lot you can do with that hardward to make it sound "interesting" without resorting to fake noise unfortunately. Removing insulation it would sound exactly the same, just louder and harsher and VERY few people would want that. It is after all going to be bought by people who want a Golf, not a sports car.

Good vid. I think it boils down to the fact that the interface isn't as good as you get on a Mercedes or BMW. But as others call out, you can set up shortcuts to take some of the annoyance away. The performance is phenomenal for the price point and perhaps needs to be said that the car is faster still on the standard 18inch wheels as seen in the early test videos.

This car seriously punches above its weight in terms of both performance and features. Like what other cars in this class can do a low 4 second 0-60 while cooling your ass and hauling entire families. It really is a bang for your buck (can't believe I'm saying that)

[@richardstreet2104]

Why do car journalist persist in quoting 0-60 times for the times when the manufacturers are actually quoting 0-100kph (62.5 mph). As an example the Porsche GT4 RS is quoted at 3.4secs 0-100kph and 3.2 0-60mph. Therefore-, the Golf R being 0.4 secs faster (4.3 secs in lieu of 4.7secs) to 0-60 is actually in line with the quoted figures! If the car journalists are going to test acceleration times maybe they should set there v-boxes to metric to get a more representative time?!

Can we assume that VW didn't provide TG with enough incentives. Setting up the car via the touch screen. Easy once you RTFM. How often do you need to do this anyway? Setting up the SatNav - simple. Setting up the media player - simple. Using Android Auto - simple. Driving the car. Top tip turn off all the stuff you really don't want turned on. Most of it stays off once you do this and reduces the load on the processor into the bargain. The only thing you really need to turn off (in the UK) each time is lane assist and that says more about the state of UK lane markings than anything else. The actual real world performance is amazing, the torque vectoring makes the car feel totally planted in any condition and the chassis and electronics generally flatters the driver. It's easy to drive fast and comfortable on long drives. Best of all it'll do everything lesser Golf's do as well as eat Porches if needed.

[@AudioFlat]
