Go over to carwow and just have a look at how they do their drag races. You guys jump starts and is sleeping at the wheel. We will never get a true reflection on your car's.

[@danemoore6857]

Amateur hour in SA unfortunately..

[@stanz55]

Not even a roll race 😂

[@joebontChrist]

A clear jump start I thought of a retry but was very disappointed.

[@masterid28]

Exactly

[@golbs7542]

​@24k-J at least they review the start and do multiple restarts to make sure it was even.

[@stephanpieters2072]

All your drag races so far there is someone napping in one of the vehicles .

[@kiewietduplessis6463]

Although the Tig R driver was sleeping on the line, judging by the times in the real world the Tig R is going to surprise alot of hot hatches.

[@GuyMcGowan]

Golf got off the mark quicker - would've been a couple of tenths closer otherwise. Such an impressive car that Tiguan!

[@vuyaniman9440]

Guy in the Tiguan was slow to react

[@fmascarenhas]

The guy driving the Tiguan launches slower than my dead grandmother! Should have had a re-run!

[@masonj19]

Did you only pay for one launch and had to use it or something 🤣 I'd have probably tried another take with the tiguan driver actually paying attention lol

[@behindthebuild8016]

At least post a video where the driver isn’t sleeping on the line lol

[@stevewhite658]

If you are going to do a comparison drag race you really need them both to launch properly. Otherwise how can we compare.

[@danemoore6857]

Where is the GPS timing?

[@kratos9223]

I always expect to see a lady driving a tiguan. Seeing a dude in one is the equivalent of seeing a long-haired guy in a TT, an unwanted surprise. 😅 The same does not apply to the golf. 🤔 What I'm trying to say is, I don't see the tiguan r outselling the golf r. The r-line tiguan is sufficient to keep the wife happy or any tiguan, for that matter.

[@richb2453]

Bollocks.

[@tomhan]

what sort of a count in was that?! it started at 2 but then did a v fast 1.5 and then 1. also the entire minute of b roll before the race is awful

[@van_der_lindeDA]

The eagerly awaited golf R....old news now....how old is the car and still not released in SA....

[@MrRonan3]

Golf R came to Australia may 2022 Feb 2023. Order book closed. You Cant buy a new one. And same old story Asking stupid money second hand. Way too expensive for existing golf Owners,

[@Bacardibombillo]

2023 Tig R-line has new ZF8 transmision in USA. Other parts of the world is DSG...

[@saigoneze4465]

7spd dsg

[@Bacardibombillo]

@@saigoneze4465 USA has the ZF8...not dsg

[@MonkeyKongAffe]

Very fast for a family car (SUV) still.

[@jamallekouch6803]

The mass is différent

[@gedDous514]

What are you guys doing 😅

[@unknownsoldier839]

Golf would have won either way. Golf has superior power to mass.

[@mail2philk]

The Tiguan R driver was a bit slow off the mark.

[@brothersrohan]

That was the closest launch you could upload? Terrible.

[@111ARR]

All your drag races are dissappointments. You guys don't even bother to do a 2nd or a 3rd run 'til both cars get their launches correct.

[@nkululekon]

Couldn't agree with you more here.. why even bother

[@Surfer_Jay]

I would take of at least 0.5 seconds from the Tiguan's time due to the huge delay in getting off the mark!

[@kb9m487]

Normal 😏 ces pas une decouverte 🤦🏻 le tiguan R est plus lourd à la pesé 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@xoladlamini3546]

I like how url get straight to the point,but u guys are terrible,url need better driver's

[@user-kt3bo9ku6n]

Tiguan起步就慢了 這個數據不準吧?

[@cornedenecker1636]

Would've been nice if you people can at least get an even start... And post that video. What a waste of time.

[@saigoneze4465]

lol Tiguan driver's still in bed smh

[@nhlakaniphozimu7086]

Duh

[@saajidkadia3545]

Golf jumped the line

[@naar_kie]

this drag race sucks
