Malaysia must be a big market for VW for it to do it there, the first in the world outside of Wolfsburg, Germany. Before it was South Africa!

it's not, more like a gambIe
@josephmanzuni8593Ай бұрын
If it's one car, it could be a gamble. But both the GTI and R, it's a strategy, not a gamble. It's not cheap to do a car in any country. It costs the manufacturer a ton to do it. Especially, when the R and GTI use specialised tools compared to the standard version. That's a huge investment to do so.

Well despite all the caveman comments about VW and the gearbox / 'visit workshop' comments, the gti and the R are indeed in a league of their own.

Great video and well done VPCM in bringing the Mk8 Golf R to Malaysia. I had the joy of owning a 16V Golf GTI in the UK way back in 1991. Since then I have owned the Mk 6 GTI followed by the Mk 6 R. I currently drive the Mk7.5 R and I love the exhilarating performance, comfort and reliability 😊

The new system allows for a lot more torque to transfer between the rear wheels. A lot less boring than previous generations. VW and Audi heard the feedback and have responded. Uncle knows how to extract the best out of these cars.

@YSKhongDrivingАй бұрын
I think both are very close. The M340i would be a bit heavier, so the extra hp needs to do that extra bit of work. The XDrive of the BM is good and so is the XDS in the Golf. Both have the same top speed, so I would say they are quite evenly matched.

Hello uncle, unrelated to the car driven in this video. I drove my old manual persona to Genting earlier and I notice there's water under my car once I reach on top. My car temperature was normal. The coolant tank was boiling. I added water, next day looks good and we drove back. My mechanic says nothing is wrong with my car, no engine oil mix or gasket leak. I wonder if you've encounter such issue driving many different cars? Was it simply because I was pushing the car and radiator had to do extra work to keep the engine cool?
