The best part about these Golf R's is that you can get an APR Stage 1 tune for $500 that brings the power up to 370hp, torque to 380ft-lb, 0-60mph to 3.5s, and slightly improves fuel economy in city driving, without sacrificing reliability. The thing absolutely rips with that tune, way faster than any of its competitors.
@nycyabber71032 жыл бұрын
To anyone reading this, APR tunes have been deemed unsafe from users who have put on some decent mileage on their car which is why they discontiuned their support for the MK7/8V platform. EQT has been the new go-to. Their tunes are weaker in the low-end torque range but this prioritizes reliability and has been proven to be the new standard tune for those who want a power increase and want to keep their car running for a long time.

I like the RS and would like to drive one, but only as a weekend toy. If I had one as a daily driver, I would constantly be annoyed by the comparatively harsh ride and the interior (overall design - all those weird angled vents, the nasty center console, and quality, e.g. all the shiny plastic). Like Doug said, the Golf R is just a much nicer place to be in if you use it as a daily driver or for a longer trip, especially if you use it as a family car. E.g. I could not imagine taking my 70 year old mom on a longer trip to visit relatives in a Civic Type R or a Focus RS, but she thinks my Golf 7 GTI (interior-wise basically the same as the Golf R) is a very comfortable car to travel in. Of course it helps to have the adaptive dampers and put them in comfort mode :-)

In regards to the gas stations, many people use various oil company cards. I was on a family trip through Europe and we were using a Shell card, and it's so nice being able to select specific gas stations on the navigation to avoid all those annoying small Italian and French gas stations that don't accept the card or maybe doesnt even take foreign cards xD

Daniel Kemnitz and in canada, government regulation require gas station to use 10% ethanol in gas which all other gas stations do. But shell got away with 15% in 87, 10% in 89 and 0% in 91 to average a 10%. Since i only use 91, shell is my goto

This and the fact fuel is not quite the same. Sure for the most part is. And it all comes from the same place. But it’s not like he’s saying on the video. A car guy would know best. Specially within the biggest companies. They buy the same fuel but then what they add, the additives, is what tells them apart. So yes, a feature like that is useful when you know what you want to buy and don’t want loose time chasing fuel stations on the map that you don’t want to go to. For those who can’t tell the difference then yes it may come as an useless and stupid option. But it’s not the option that’s stupid. It’s who gets triggered by having it.

Sure you might be able to save a couple different configurations for different people that takes just as long to adjust when you press as doing it manually. Nobody really cares about that. Don't let anyone else drive the car. I try not to. If they do, fine them every time they refuse to put the seat back into the owner's preferred position. This isn't a luxury car.

The start/stop system must have been active and had stopped the engine before you undid your seatbelt. As soon as you do that it triggers the start/stop system to restart the engine, so that you know not to just get out of the car thinking its actually off. Hence the status message. Hope this is clear! :-) Jonathan

Much better alternative to the more expensive competition- A45 AMG, RS3 or M140i. Also the DSG transmission is brilliant. You really should consider a used Golf R or Golf GTI if you're interested in buying a hot hatch. You won't be disappointed.
