7.5 estate 👌 wonder why they didn't have sweeping indicators on the estate , !

[@jacobmcguire1]

Was a pleasure to meet you Calvin, Sorry to disrupt the video ❤️

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

Don’t be silly man, good to meet you too sir 🫡

[@biltong3470]

Tell the truth Calvin ordered 2 big mac meals right

[@ADayInTheLifeOfJames]

Love bigUps to Calvin keeping this in

[@bonkerscat1074]

Regarding the rear wiper delete. In my opinion, it needs the wiper put back, my 2017 MK7 R (hatchback) is a pain in the arse for road dirt & spray getting flung up onto the rear of it, it gets dirty very quickly. It would drive me insane if it didn’t have the rear wiper. So, Calvin, fit the rear wiper back on mate 🤙🏻

[@MauriceNL1]

1 wet winter drive without wiper and you can't see ANYTHING.

[@neilwatson5864]

Pano Roofs crack and leak. Pain all round. R guys know this mate.

[@AM-bn8xm]

Yes the mk 7.5 golf r estate has 2 back boxes and 4 real exhausts. The mk 7 had 2 tips into 4 fake exhausts. That’s one big reason I sold mine. I had one of the first r estates In uk. Loved every other part of it. Then I went to one of the first 7.5 hatches with aka exhaust. Best car I have ever bought. Ps amazingly I think VW actually listened to some feedback. R owners wanted all black interior and real exhaust. And they did both.

[@jordy_ep3244]

Yess Calvin Back With Another Epic Video on a MK7.5 Golf R But this is a Very Special Car in my opinion is the Daddy of the VW Golf R's in my opinion Calv Absolutely Love an Estate Car and This MK7.5 Golf R is a Prime Example of a Daily Driver Calv 👌 Smashing Video As Always mate

[@Tonys_training]

Love these Calvin get the best of both worlds with that nice and sporty and practical at the same time going to love this video no doubt

[@garethedwards2883]

I agree with you Calvin about the pan roof as I love them and wish I had one on my Golf GTI Performance.

[@waynebaldycanning]

I am so glad this video has landed. I am thinking of buying one of these wagons. Not even watched it yet but liked the video. Gonna lay in the bath and watch it 😂 Top Man Calvin

[@hockeyjosh]

I have the 7.5 wagon in the same colour. Exhaust fully works, it was the mk7 estate that had 1 pipe per side working. They also don't have valves so noisy all the time.

[@VeX00786]

Calvin you making all of us want a mk7.5 golf R!!! Loving it buddy!!

[@benkimber8579]

I have the same motor. Running stage 3 450bhp absolute weapon. Daily drive love it 👍🏻

[@liammcmenamin4150]

Great video as always Calvin I'm with you on the rear wiper 👍

[@scottrobertson307]

I have a 2016 Golf R absolutely my favourite car I ever owned! Thank you for your enthusiasm and for sharing your videos 👍👍

[@kiwitrains]

Totally agree about the rear wiper

[@richboy900]

That's a proper bit of kit 👌

[@EthanBrimmer]

Great vid bro - really good editing as well

[@stevenduncan3392]

hahaha new year new me. First video i’ve watched of urs mate. Gotta say enjoyed it🤩

[@malcolmbennett3907]

My son has a red 7.5 R estate and both sides of exhaust are active but.....they don't have valves like the hatch. Lovely car in the Grey.

[@JoshXCVIII]

Perfect family car, looks incredible

[@joshhill8189]

Love this, makes me appreciate my 7.5R with a pano-roof :D Also, an old MK7 (2013) GTI Perf. had keyless entry, top tier option.

[@santana9537]

Calv needs a b3 alpina estate or maybe the new shape m3 estate once prices stop messing about M3 estate changed my mind about estates, love them especially the one Becky Evan’s has on her channel 🔥🔥🔥

[@brgthelegend]

having a pan roof adds weight and that weight is high up. A reason not many spect them with pan roof

[@FraserMcNeil]

My MK7R estate had fake tips attached to the bumper with one pipe on each side of the car blowing smoke through the outer fake tip on each side. It also had keyless entry, start button and a rear wiper :)

[@jamessheehy4895]

This is properly mint! Got a GTD 7.5 with the 19 inch wheels wish i had one of these!!!

[@lyndon6864]

Great video Calvin, I’m currently in the mkt for an R estate…as you say it rare to find one with the pan roof! Btw any tips on how to fix the boot latch as mine on a mk7 gti has just gone! Would appreciate it mate

[@mks2310]

Nice looking 👌 Lovely spec

[@mattg768]

First off Car Vertical FTW. I have a MK7.5 Golf R but I f**kin Love them estate Golf R's, so sick man to have one as I spend a lot of time in Cornwall ( family) but I work in Bristol all week. Ima have to get one soon. Pan roof too is awesome.

[@bigear7172]

I see this way more appealing than the hatch, dad spec 🔥

[@TypicalBlue-rq8ri]

Love the golf r estate pretty rare 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@picklesrule69]

Proper nice car, I'm not keen on rear wiper delete too, my mk7 rear window always gets dirty

[@datdude5692]

Calvin got me looking at Golf R's after seeing this mad spec R

[@brianiswrong]

Rock solid volkwagon build quality 9:45 er,control we have a blip in the matrix

[@CherylCold]

Perfect allrounder. Obviously not a market seller but what more could you ask for. This is on my bucket list.

[@Cobra83.]

I hate the rear wiper delete thing as well

[@adam.677]

It's just a goofy bandwagon

[@dooahhdoo]

Keyless entry and start was available as an option on the MK7. I bought one in 2016 and spec'd it :)

[@MauriceNL1]

2013 also had iy

[@aamirzabair8572]

Estates just make any car better!! Beautiful machine. Definitely showed your age with the wiper delete lol God bless ccd

[@davehodgson1984]

Great video Calv 👍🏼 I had two of these mk7.5 estates and loved them. Now got a C7 RS6 and honestly the golf gives 80-90% of the everyday thrills and is such a practical wagon. Will definitely consider another one if I get tired of the costs in running the RS6!

[@rxmcord2392]

Im interested in a golf r variant because of the practicability and it’s more unique, but im worried about interior quality like road noise on the highway, comfort for longer roadtrips how was it for you? Coming from a bmw f20

[@kb8729]

Res delete and a good air intake with cold air definitely makes a difference on a car like that !

[@billhutton7766]

Stunning car not surprised it’s sold great pan roof👍

[@Ryan_CLA]

Have you ever had a CLA45 shooting brake in stock? I've got a CLA220 but the next step is to get the AMG.

[@MatDey]

Great video. Saw you at Harry Potter world today. Didn't get a chance to say hello, but recognised the big voice.. 👍

[@VikingViews]

The perfect affordable wagon 🤙🏼

[@chadhudson1589]

Been thinking about one of these after my gtd

[@TheLyonCrest]

Really don't understand the rear wiper delete. Does myh head in..

[@joeweaver5712]

Totally agree mate, drove me mad for the 2 years I owned mine!

[@adam.677]

It's a cringe bandwagon

[@sleepwalker31]

Car looks brilliant. I think the pre face-lift estates didn't have all 4 pipes connected and I believe the 7.5 cars had black mirrors as an option not standard. Lovely cars as always amazed how quick it is keep it up

[@pw3591]

The reason there are very few high spec Golf R's, Pano roofs etc. is probably because most of them were on 2 - 3 year leases, and nobody specs up a car your only keeping for 2 yrs. The only option I chose on mine was 90% rear tints which cost about £90 IIRC.

[@accustoms5310]

Hey Calv, just been looking at cars as always (might as well be a trader) 😂 and I think a Peugeot 208 gti would be a perfect car for planet of dreams? 👍🏻

[@ITRY381]

Awesome video always great content also for a big car get a Mercedes GLC

[@joemcmanus4828]

Should try find yourself a factory akrapovic for the 7.5 finish it of 👌

[@1radek831]

I have a rear wiper delete on my Fiesta ST. I think it is much cleaner, but in this winter it can be a nightmare haha, so I have split thoughts.

[@malkybhoy9655]

Love the estate r 😍

[@hs123yesnobonjour]

Best car I have owned! Even hit over 50mpg on a run! With kids it's a perfect everyday car!

[@mattluxton8802]

Really bugs me they didn't put the fancy rear lights on these like the hatches

[@Charlie-fk5lp]

Think it gives the car more of a sleeper look. Looks just like a golf estate to the average Joe

[@mattluxton8802]

@@Charlie-fk5lp lights are far more subtle than a quad exhaust and a diffuser. I just expect if I buy an estate version of a top of the range hatch it should have every feature the hatch has. Thankfully with the mk8 they’ve done that. Shame it’s pig fugly

[@thatomoholisa2825]

The silver MK6R is soooo beautiful 🥹🔥😭

[@rossimac]

Love that you got the OpenReach engineer to do a bit of filming 😅

[@matthewwood9596]

the Mk7 Golfs can/do have keyless entry as we have a Mk7 GTD and it has it

[@wynhughes9072]

I think the colour makes that car together with those grey Estoril alloys and Pan roof. Seen the R estate in White with standard wheels and it doesn't do it justice.

[@zak4531]

Pretoria* alloys

[@geoffreybywater518]

Nice car got to love a golf r estate car

[@davidcupra4913]

Calv mk7 estate has only one exhaust used each side. 7.5 estate uses both each side.

[@50Aslan]

im with you on that one, rear wiper delete is just dumb

[@Tom-ol6cu]

Love the passat r 😍

[@rossiterl]

Gorgeous car 😍

[@jamessheehy4895]

Great its stock with exhaust mods very classy with the roof the wheels splitter and plate this is a mint daily

Forget the Golf R Estate....... do I spy a Vauxhall Omega estate in the background...get it on the channel Calv...

[@petermoseley2395]

That looks gorgeous when it's going on planet of dreams 🤣

[@euanscotland]

Good stuff

[@gregoryuk]

Sweet motor. Get that rear wiper back on. Old fashioned man has spoken.

[@brunomarski3272]

Youve literally reviewed my exact car!! Exact same colour and wheels, but mine has a few bits this one hasnt from factory. DG18 BYL, check that spec out 😉. Leather and adaptive dampers. Mines running 388bhp on a JB4 tune. 0-60 in 3.6. R600 plus a few other bits under the bonnet too

[@brunomarski3272]

Disagree about the res delete though, I got mine done then put it back to stock the next day. Sounded awful, cheap and chavvy. It costs a lot of money to make these sound good, but I didnt buy it for the exhaust note 😶

[@brunomarski3272]

The tail lights are the same as the standard golf estate, still full led but not quite as fancy as the hatchback R. Because they were made in such small number, VW didnt deem it worthwile to design a whole rear cluster for the R estate

[@gnkVLCT]

Time for a stage 2 tune now!

[@ifiindouptgoflatout]

nice estate this , them tiny deference's! 👍 , wiper delete 🙀that surly isn't and option extra to have a wiper , i find it ages a car taking them off , just my opinion , , is their a reason the estate didn't get the sweeping lights , one year was a 310 bhp !

[@richday5520]

I think it was pre facelift cars that had only 1 pipe either side working. Don't think the estates had valved system either like the hatch could be wrong tho

[@ImKrull]

That’s the gti your thinking of like mine ✌🏽

[@richday5520]

@@ImKrull I know GTi only had single pipes but on the R estate it was quad but only 1 each side worked if that makes sense and the system wasn't valved on estates like hatchbacks

[@benkimber8579]

No mate they all work on mine. I’ve had lads burn legs on upgraded exhaust pipes

[@markmcintosh9666]

[@FlynnBellamyCars]

I love the Hatch but this is even better in my opinion, more space and not much performance difference!

[@bronxmanpatrickyt]

[@dieseldave33]

The estate if I'm correct doesn't have the valves on the exhaust

[@philwaldron2127]

Does estate have higher top speed?

[@johngrant8533]

Jesus for that little extra length of car you get a hell of a lot more room. And the way it performs its not even a negative about the extra weight.

The MK7.5 estate has a full exhaust system. Its the MK7 estate that doesn't I believe.

[@jodybignell5509]

I think they both have full exhaust. But tail pipes are fitted to boxes differently.

MK 7 has a full exhaust, its just the tailpipes which are really a twin, rather than the fake 4. My mk7 has two filthy tailpipes and two clean ones,
