VW Golf 7.5 R Ownership Costs | Fuel, Insurance, Maintenance |

This one is for all those interested in purchasing or knowing the ownership costs of the Golf 7.5 R.
Honestly the main challenge with these cars at the moment is the purchase price, once one is able to afford that then you’re pretty much set, just get a car that’s still under warranty and service plan.

The issue of warranty and maintenance plan is a very tricky one. VW wanted me to pay R11 000 to sort out the aircon condenser in my polo GTI. It's a crazy story😁😁

[@ayanda.P]

Love your channel brother 👊

[@embakubmotoring]

VW is becoming too problematic now😫

[@marothi6952]

They wanted R9600 for a radio,(no screen) when I had an issue with my radio on my vivo

[@guyubangu150]

Aahhh Nice to see Mr Sambo here.

[@obakengnortjie5629]

bro you must just get a car that has a motorplan, simple

[@oomstu]

Those tyres have seen better days mate. As for tyre noise, fit the new Michelin PS5 and road noise is a thing of the past. My car came from factory with Bridgestone and found those to be very noist in the cabin so fitted PS4's and problem solved.

[@IDB_Lukhele]

This thing makes me go crazy man, the spec on this golf is the exact same one that I’d want to have as well, I’m not so crazy about the new golf 8R but this car in particular drives me nuts , if there’s one thing I love about VW is their dsg gearbox🥺🥺 anyways I’m yet to drive one as well, looks fun man

[@embakubmotoring]

It’s absolutely insane, I hope you manage to get one for yourself one day.

[@ulwandon]

😭😭bru i also go crazy on this specifically 7.5R im not gonna rest without owning it

[@ventodanny]

my golf 7.5 GTI 2020 i paid 9k for maintenance plan up to 90000km or 3years so i am stil enjoying it, maintanance plan they help u with alot of things even battery when is dead they replace for you

[@embakubmotoring]

That’s really nice

[@tshepangmotshwane7902]

Which third party did you use ?

[@khotsomogale3610]

This is a great vibe and you please do a Toyota Land Cruiser or Land Rover Defender next. Great info

[@embakubmotoring]

Thank you, I’ll try to find them

[@Keamogetswe_1]

Golf 7.5R is really beautiful and didn't age. Take this over golf 8 honestly.

[@phindulomashapha3815]

I like 2 see videos like this man..

[@TorqueDriven]

Great video buddy ‼️😎

[@embakubmotoring]

Thanks a lot mate🙏🏽

[@somerandxmdude]

Great vid Man! Why is the steering wheel shaking so much though?

[@embakubmotoring]

Shaking? Maybe it’s the camera, the steering wasn’t shaking… Thanks a lot🙏🏽

[@zakhejombile9419]

Mind doing ownership costs video for a Golf 7.5 GTI as well?

[@embakubmotoring]

I’ll do so

[@thabangmokgotho7731]

I can afford the car but I’ll be eating pap and cabbage for the next 4 year Do I mind?? No not really😂 coz it’s a Golf R. Mara otherwise Great vid bro 👊🏽

[@embakubmotoring]

😂😂😂… Thanks a lot man🙏🏽

[@SILKROAD-o5f]

get the car brother,pap and cabbage is good for your health

[@siphelelekhankhan]

Maybe 40-45k is a good salary if you want this car. If you earn 30k and half of it goes to the car, thats not good bruh.

[@gigiolajide6521]

​@@siphelelekhankhanI couldn't agree more bro..I owned a 2016 7R briefly for about 7 months bro and my salary was way above 30k with only one child and not that much if black tax but the 25th of every month was the worse day of my life.. i couldn't even buy a t-shirt bro without having to think twice. I never ate out ..I hardly even drove the car because service costs and petrol was a night mare.full tank lasts you barely a week so that was like 5 k monthly.. installment was 11500.. insurance was 2800.. so the car literally costs you about 20k per month to run.. minimum..so with a 30 or 40 K salary..it's suicide and for the next 72 months you really won't be as happy as you think you would be ..I'd say a 70 k TAKE HOME salary should be your target in order to buy this car COMFORTABLY

[@gigiolajide6521]

The rule is ..your annual salary should be at least double the FINANCED price of the car.. So if the car under finance costs a total of 700k..then your annual salary should not be less than 1.5 Million Rands

[@fezekasabelo1117]

which is the best between golf TCR v golf 7.5 R, would love your take on this sir.

[@embakubmotoring]

It all depends what kind of driving experience you’re into, the R always feels secure and strong, it’s slightly more powerful also, the TCR is lighter and sharper around turns…

[@jodyellie2667]

One day when I'm big😭

[@TrevorMal]

Damn under 70k mileage in less than 2 years how do you people drive your cars? I have the same car 2018 model still less than 60K mileage....Maybe I need to drive more

[@embakubmotoring]

He uses it

[@H.I.I.T68]

Bro if that car is bordering on 70,000kms he must have at least replaced brake pads a few times and that can't be cheap on this car and is not covered under the service plan. Warranty is 3 years 120,000kms and a std service plan 5 years 90,000kms. So he may not have paid for his services but other than brake pads what else did he have to pay for if this car is not on a maintenance plan? This has probably been quite expensive to own this car 😞😓😩

[@embakubmotoring]

The car is still on maintenance plan. I think I asked him about brakes and he told me they’re covered I’m not sure though, but I know some manufacturers do cover brake pads like on the new Audi A3

[@H.I.I.T68]

@@embakubmotoring this car comes std with a service plan so maybe he upgraded it to a maintenance plan

[@H.I.I.T68]

Audis come std with a 5 year 100,000km maintenance plan so everything is covered except fuel and tyres

[@knowledgemkhabela9444]

@@H.I.I.T68 true it doesn't come with a maintenance plane unless you upgrade but overall its a great car to own 6 years later im still happy with mine

[@sabelogama9522]

I hope in future you review the 8y Rs3 and its Rival Golf MK8R

[@embakubmotoring]

I’m also looking forward to trying those out, but I have a very cool and similar comparison video coming soon, watch this space

[@langelihlexaba3141]

Bro what starting salary would you recommend for a person who wants to buy this car? 27K/30K Could I afford it?

[@embakubmotoring]

Howzit, it all depends on your lifestyle, but yes at R30k a month u can easily afford it.

[@langelihlexaba3141]

[@brayton6683]

Does this golf R have the upgraded titanium exhaust system because that's like a 30k or 40k additional option which VW offers on the 7.5 R ... But anyways great Video the golf R is truly my favorite and dream car which I would like to own one day " comfortably "

[@embakubmotoring]

Yes, the Akrapovic exhaust is the titanium system… Thank you 🙏🏽

I just seen a listing for one of these, the same exact one , i want to buy it but im afraid i get hijcaked since in live in joburg 🤕

[@embakubmotoring]

Nah u won’t… Just don’t post around your locations on social media

[@karlietv8723]

so the deposit for this car was weak. i prefer depositing a lot then i pay 8k monthly

[@embakubmotoring]

I don’t understand your point in the deposit being weak? What works for you won’t work for someone else.

[@knowledgemkhabela9444]

the warranty doesn't cover brakes bro,you pay from your own pocket

[@embakubmotoring]

His apparently does.

[@embakubmotoring]

Maybe maybe not, but some manufacturers do, like on the new Audi A3

[@embakubmotoring]

And by brakes there I was talking about the rotors and callipers, not the pads.

[@IDB_Lukhele]

And 10months later I’m here to say that VW is making sure the value of this thing is not dropping, hebana a whole 87000km golf 7.5R for R600k like why bathong, that time it doesn’t even have specs that this one does 😂😂

[@embakubmotoring]

It's not VW, it's the market demand and value 😅
