Max had a Michael Scott moment😂 "That's what she said"

[@SL4PSYM4XY]

This has to be one of the cleanest GTI’s I’ve seen. Really well done. My only hang up is that much power in a FWD car. If I wanted a 400+ hp car, fwd would be my last choice.

[@dylanyoungs8313]

Yeah personally I don't see the appeal, surely you just get a golf R at that point but each to their own

[@DnBDubstepManiak1]

Even 300+ is problematic for a lot of fwd hatchbacks. A little corner, dry road and the car couldn’t take the turn, yet they say fwd is more fun than awd 😅 I mean I can understand the fun in rwd, but fwd!? Yeey understeering is so much fun 😅

[@brandonroebuck504]

​@@DnBDubstepManiak1 i have a gti tuned at around 350 hp rn and its perfectly nimble in corners if anything, my time in my old wrx was my prone to understeer due to the extra weight pushing outside

[@dylanyoungs8313]

@iNSTAGiB as far as I'm aware the R is about 100kg heavier, most of which is at the rear with the added differential and haldex system. I have mine tuned to a fairly respectable 500NM and I'm yet to experience any proper slip from any wheels. Admittedly it's much less power than some are running, but my point remains.

[@alexandruzugravu1768]

@iNSTAGiB just out of curiosity, is the tax based on HP? Because here in Romania it's based on engine size, so having 2.0 would be the same :) btw, a Golf R has a 40euro anual tax here in Romania, because of the small engine :)

[@Kamukix]

I completely agree about the GTi vs R. I just sold my mk7.5 R to go back to a 2 door mk7 GTi (both manual cars) for that exact reason. The GTi is just a lot more fun to drive because it's lively and you have to WORK. The R is still fun and it's very fast and would leave a GTi down the same road stock for stock...but I'd rather be having more fun and be a bit slower than be very quick and less fun. 👍

[@davewebley8630]

Totally agree the GTi is more fun. I have a MK7.5 GTi DSG performance pack and its the perfect daily.

[@Kamukix]

@@davewebley8630 agreed, I really enjoyed the R as it was a phenomenal daily driver and kinda fun...but the GTi feels much more alive and involving. The R feels like a point and shoot machine that can REALLY make any backroad feel very short haha. The GTi feels like a very fun and fast car that makes roads feel short but very fun. Having a GTi and another car makes for an incredibly versatile garage. I'm looking forward to adding another sportscar to go with it soon enough. If I could only have one car for the rest of life, it'd be a two wheel drive manual 911 Iol....but my 2nd choice is easily a two wheel drive manual GTi. 👌

Gewoon een blow off valve en zo goed als elke auto blaast. Zelfde met de pops & bangs. Velen denken dan direct dat die veel power heeft. Een auto met 100pk kan ook pops hebben.

The blow off is stock 😅😅 Its because of the open air intake

in some cars , i dont know about golf ,,, but using the kickdown adapts the gearbox to override manual mode

[@MyRealName]

So many self proclaimed experts claimed this car has less power than claimed and it just did 290 like it's nothing, in a draggy hatchback body. And it's limited. Great tune.

[@High-Performance-IQ]

Idiot. It's not faster 250-290 than a Stock 2018 RS3 Sportback. Which has 400hp. And BBM is not far from where I live and known for exaggerating. This Golf might have 390-400 but Not 430.

[@bilaldemiralieski3395]

You should try an OPC

[@billstanden]

Admittedly basing this on my mothers Škoda Superb 280 so the coding might be different, but if you put the gearbox in the D/S position and engage manual selection through the paddles the gearbox will still upshift. If you slot it across to +/- to engage manual it won’t.

[@DarkSession6208]

Depends. I assume the VW DSG is just a bit lesser S-Tronic that Audi uses. And even there, there are different iterations and models of the same called S-Tronic Gearbox. For example the RS4/RS5/RS6/RS7 (FIRST GEN) S-Tronic is a proper die hard gearbox in manual mode (sport mode does not to be activated, just set it to Manual). No matter if you shift with paddles or the gear selector it will bang into the rev limiter like theres no other day. It won't upshift at all, only downshift to prevent the engine stalling. Not sure on newer models C8/B9/C9

[@itswhip]

Good looking car, but why did they stop making the 2-door GTI's? Not economical enough for the EU? I will say, the interior here is very reminiscent of the MKII era (the best era)
