2024 VW Golf 8 R Facelift We Talked to the Chief Designers

[@azizdrives]

This was my first interview i have ever done. Im happy to hear feedback and suggestions for the future. Thank you all 🤝

[@BGK187x]

Made me laugh when u said f*ckd up haha 1:21 you being you i love it! 😂

[@comfortablesofa]

Don’t talk so much … let them talk

[@donsontag8324]

Wheel design is so critical. It has to work in concert with the car body design and avoid looking aftermarket. Would love to hear more about how this process is achieved

[@terryd9850]

@@comfortablesofa correct you are the interviewer one mouth two ears use accordingly and cut out the bad language it never ever sounds goods and we all curse but cats are what it’s all about - as an aside the Golf R to me is far from radical in design

[@GethinJames]

Agreed - let them talk more. Don't do leading questions. Just a quick short question - then let them talk, then ask them to explain more, always ask once or twice for them to expand on a thought. Don't swear either.

[@travelthebaltics]

It’s cool to see the designers in face!! And also great to see you Aziz - filming as it is and not giving a fuss!! Keep it up!!

[@haywan0706]

Great job Aziz, it’s good to see you try new things even when you are maybe not as comfortable. Thanks for the amazing video💪🏽

[@RokBenni]

@azizdrives.....this was a great interview, good questions, always good to understand design choices. That's a beautiful car. No suggestions really just keep doing it......I owned a 2022 MK8 Golf R (white) and love it. Will be interesting to see the improvements. 😎

[@AtomNic]

this car is absolutely gorgeous, might be the time to trade in my 7.5 :P

[@butchmeister80]

I love the wheels and styling the golf R is best looking hatch on the market shame they’re so expensive these days

[@skyline5400]

Danke einfach danke für deinen Content Aziz!

[@michaellourie4252]

Feedback>>>>I own a 2024 golf R 6 speed manual. It drives incredibly well and is stable at very high speeds. I have upgraded wheels to 18", brakes to 370mm 2-piece, calipers to 6 piston, tires to pilot sport 4s and springs to lower it. All Good. However HAVING ONLY TOUCH SCREEN CONTROLS IS DANGEROUS. How could you not think of safety vs looks?? You try to quickly go to recirculated air to avoid nasty diesel smell from a truck in front of you while driving 80mph. Having no buttons is very much NOT user friendly. I am a VW man since 1985. With buttons, you don't need to look. You can keep your eyes on the road. WITHOUT BUTTONS YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD. Someday there will be lawsuits from someone who dies. I can see the writing on the wall. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR RESPONSE. THANK YOU.

[@weenedonpetrol]

Well done. I have one constructive criticism. I think you need to ensure you don’t stand in front on the car and work on drawing more from the person you are interviewing. Basically in these instances the car and the guest are more important than you are. Having said that it’s a good first attempt and I’m sure you will improve over time.

[@azizdrives]

Thank you very much for the message. I will try to adjust it over time.

[@oldkid6]

now that the wheels are fixed, can they also design an engine cover that doesn't melt and look like ass, thank you.

[@xCzarMario]

Great interview. Will we be seeing the car in the color WHITE?

[@sleepwalker31]

Very good review car is excellent

[@TheStigsSimcousin]

Tell the Mastermind the Balkans want manuals back. Looks nice tho but what happened to bringing back the normal buttons on steering wheel

[@Bahle_Gaji]

R button I think 😂

[@greensamurai5805]

I agree

[@DaidzaRile317]

And 1.9 tdi

[@RANDA11FLAGG]

And a three door .

[@JustAlb1n]

The buttons are back

[@joostin420]

Golf r mk8 new mib4 infotainment install doable? Cost for diy?

[@puga4202]

This is the same person who designed the infotainment system for the pre-refresh golf?

[@oldkid6]

the only thing he needs to fix is the hood gap in the front, all new vw's have that problem, it appears to be in the "popped up" position.

[@johnespanol1273]

Great video boss.. good job

[@GLA45Amg716]

Looks good. Wish they didn’t cheap out on peer seats etc tho

More like this!

[@mik55tv22]

A strut is lighter more effective and more reliable and easier to replace and cheaper to produce so it's much much better and thank God the new ones don't have those hydrolics that go bad quickly and are expensive to replace

[@nickd2820]

These designers should be talked to by marketing or product manager before going on camera. The first one struggled a bit.

[@BigBoyWoogie]

Whomever thinks the consumer likes having a tablet jammed in the middle of the dash is less of mastermind, and more of a cement head.

[@butchmeister80]

What do you want a small one or a tape deck

[@blam9346]

destroyed the front end. The MK8R actually has a better front end design than this as the lines and curves flow better. This front grille has huge gaps and would make me worry about anything getting caught in there while driving.

[@butchmeister80]

Like a pidgeon

[@BGK187x]

👌👌

[@phoenixaleks]

The interior of this vehicle is a major let down, I have a Mk7.5 and wanted to get the new 8 but felt like it was a downgrade sitting inside the car itself. The plastic kick plate in the door and door panel make it feel cheap. The clitoris gear shift sucks and the material used on the seats just feels cheap and basic.

[@butchmeister80]

Looks way better though and the lighting is amazing at night

[@paulbutler6588]

Its a mess and the r on the door makes it look cheap please end the production of this over priced car

[@OSKAR-ch7jk]

Nice video,car designer done his job,but wheels maybe good,not for this car

[@krane15]

Too bad they didn't make a design that hides the rear wiper. Something the Koreans and Americans. The wheels are ugly, so back to the drawing board. Thing is, they have beautiful wheel designs already since we see them on the concepts. Finally, it needs Brembo brakes to be taken seriously. Carbon fractures?

[@haki3353]

Talk to the BMW designer instead

[@loganpadayachee6048]

BMW has the worst resale value most overrated brand and drivers are pathetic on the road. When used fit for the rubbish dump 😂

[@haki3353]

@@loganpadayachee6048 Damn bro, who hurt you.

[@mashkg]

1:21 that swearing is unnecessary. Not gonna watch!!!!

[@butchmeister80]

Yeah was a bit crass

[@Bigjohn928]

Cheap materials to made cheap looks the older generation MK1 or MK2 better looking better material than this👎👎👎

[@loganpadayachee6048]

I'm sorry but not much of a difference the rims looks hideous cheap aftermarket and not a fan of the front lights but the rear lights looks okay

[@jaceq9]

Looks less bad than the ugliest of all generations - nr 8. The front end - really better, rear lights still too heavy and the little light squares of lights - terrible. Interior still sucks and touch capacitive buttons on steering wheel is of no excuse. Overall 5/10.

[@loganpadayachee6048]

I own a Golf 8 GTI it's gets so much toxic attention explain to me why if you think it's ugly you envious probably can't afford one😂
