There are fixes on the way for all the issues mentioned, but the ID-platform has taken a lot of effort to be..not broken. However, good news, the infotainment is basically the same in the fossil models, and the root cause of most of it. (VAG-techie)

As an owner of MK7 GTI, Past owner of a MK6 GTI, and having a 1960 Bug Convertible in the family, I am a little biased to VW. I have always seen VW's as the underdog. In this day and age where faster cars are becoming the "norm" this Golf R is amazing. With the Civic R, Corolla GR and the Golf R, the Golf R is the only one that actually looks like it cost what it costs. People then will argue reliability? That is very subjective at best. I mean, a Golf that can go from 0-60 in under 4 seconds and run 12's in the 1/4 mile STOCK??? That is freaking amazing!!

MK7 GTI 6spd original owner here. Currently has over 183k miles on it. Has been tuned and modified since 2k miles. Moog is absolutely correct regarding the MK7's. They are excellent cars but they are quite boring and soft from the factory. You have to do basically everything to it for it to be super fun. Tune, intake (modified stock), DP, intercooler, spark plugs, ignition coils, tires, suspension, turbo, etc. It takes a lot to get the car to a level that is extremely fun to drive. The MK8, though it has its infotainment issues (the MK8.5 has remedied this), is so much better right out of the box. Honestly, the MK8 Golf R has enough power straight from the factory, that I personally wouldn't feel the need to tune it right away to have a lot of fun with it. That was not the case with my MK7 GTI (even the MK7 Golf R needs more power over factory to enjoy it). If you want a slight bump in power on the MK8, you could go the cheap route, and get a piggyback tune, and have a ton of fun with it, especially knowing it won't void the factory warranty. The MK8's also have the handling and braking performance straight from the factory so that you don't need to upgrade everything to get it more track focused. I would probably do lowering springs on it, just for the looks, but that's about it. Overall, the MK8 GTI/Golf R is a much better performer over the MK7/7.5. I totally would have got a MK8 Golf R, but I personally didn't like the layout, look, ergonomics, or how the infotainment performed. That was the reason why I wanted to wait for the MK8.5 refresh, and from what I see, I really like what VW did with the infotainment design. The Black Edition looks amazing. Can't wait to go test drive one and maybe, just maybe, sell my MK7 GTI for one.

It's very interesting to see that a lot of the issues raised in this video for the Mk.8 Golf also were transferred to the new Seat Leon which is essentially the golf just reskinned and rebranded. I have a fair few of the issues you've raised there like the infotainment issues, random warnings etc and it was making me wonder if the issues were just related to the car having to not be as good as the golf counterpart, however now I've noticed it's a generic issue and solidifies my thoughts to not get a 'new' VAG and potentially get an older car next time. Thanks for your honest views on the car and it's nice to know that not everybody can be paid off just to say "This car is great".

Great review. I've had my MK8 for 5ish months and it's been back to the dealership 6 times now. I can see the appeal, however personally - I wish I never bought it. Hearing 'it's a new platform there's bound to be issues/teething problems' drives me crazy, and is unacceptable for a car at this price point IMO.

Great review, thank you. The biggest compliment I can give the Golf R is it's on my list of more dad appropriate fun cars to replace a 6th gen supercharged Camaro. The few things I don't like are that they went with blue for the accent color, I wish they would have stuck with red like the GTI. They know how to do classy wider fenders like on the Audi RS models, that would have made the looks much less boring/safe. The infotainment stuff is getting addressed so that's good. Definitely gives and takes between this car and the GR Corolla.

My IS350 moves the steering wheel away when you turn the car off and presents it to you when you turn it on, I think that's a better solution in a smaller car, meanwhile my wifes Sorento moves the seat when you turn it off/on but it isn't an issue because it's a massive 3-row CUV.

It's worth the wait. Those cars are mad, honestly packed full of features just FWD vs AWD of the R. They're cornering monsters I kid you not. My mate has one currently getting tuned (after driving it stock for over 10k miles in 3 months). Turbo elbow, 4in Forge intake and it made a very easy 330bhp/500nm after the tune (300/449 without the tune). Drove a 7.5, they're great, no doubt great. Always loved Golfs. But it was very bland. It was quick, but didn't have much of a fun factor, especially compared to the i30N. The i30N can be tame or a beast when you need it, but the Golf R just felt very controlled at all times. Not a bad thing. It's an amazing car, but it's like they did everything so well on the car, everything is perfectly balanced to the point it just feels like white paint on walls in a new build house. Of course they mod terribly well, but I'm talking stock for stock as many people keep theirs stock, even enthusiasts.

Both are great cars, either choice would of suited my needs as a daily while carrying an MTB on the roof. Great work gents💪

I started working for VW a few months back going in with the idea VW's were great cars, like 90% of German made cars when i was growing up. These days tho i would rather any Japanese base model with a clutch pedal over a $150k+ Toureg fully optioned out or a MK8 Golf R as i find the purity of driving and enjoying the drive and feel of a car is with that third pedal that seems to be fading in today's release of "performance" cars. Thats just my thoughts tho

Love the Mk4 R32 but, if i were to criticize, it was more weight, noise, trim, and looks than real performance. I ran an R trackday back in the day in my basic 5-speed 1.8T and yeah I was down a couple cylinders but I was also down about 600 pounds and the performance ended up being similar but I ended the day with nearly all of my tires and brakes left and the R32s were falling by the wayside left and right with tires chunked to the cord and warped/destroyed brakes, because a cast iron VR6 sounds great but is hard to stop and turn. It was an interesting lesson. That said, I drove a Mk4 R32 near new and it was a delight!

I’ve had mine for about six months also, I also live in Sydney and have only seen two others on the road. I have received the email regarding the radiator recall and will be getting that sorted soon. The other issues have been the Apple CarPlay blackout when using maps, I also had a safety system light on for one drive. A couple of things that bug me is the steering wheel heating turning on when I don’t need it, no ability to have stop/start deactivated permanently, having to turn lane assist off every time also, the cheap plastics in the rear (I’m never in there but still annoying), I would have liked the cup holder cover like the mk7. The plus are that it finally gets the power of the UK car (I’m English so when I bought my mk6 then 7 I was unhappy to get so much less power). The car looks much more aggressive and sets itself apart from the GTI, pleased the Aussie version comes fully loaded. It’s seriously fast when you need it to be but having driven to Melbourne recently it also does the mundane very well and comfortable. I got my new from a dealer for list price, still too much but in this current climate better than its main rivals. I wouldn’t have paid the overs they were/are up for sale. Happy with my first six months which is currently at 7,000kms…fully run in now 😂😂

MOOG, I've got 1 of 1400 in USA. let me say that this is on of the best VW's I ever owned. it took a week to get comfortable with the screen. I have bumped the steering wheel heat button and had the sensor's for parking not initialize, but after turning the car off and picking up food, when I restarted everything was back to normal. The backup camera was replaced. WOULD I BUY THIS CAR AGAIN??? HELL YEAH!!!

im owning a Golf 8 Clubsport since 2 years (germany) Infotainment problems ✅ Music plays only with one speaker (harman kardon)✅ Cruise control problems ✅ Parking sensor problems ✅ Engine cover removed ✅ I had noise from the front shocks -> dealership changed the Shock covers and I had a big software update, since then the infotainment is much better But still a great car, its damn fast and I drive too often too fast because you feel very safe at higher speeds with the car. The Fahrwerk is great😉 but on the harder side. I would say that the adjustable suspension is a must. ✌

I've got a 2023 Mk8 Golf R (in the 6 speed manual!) here in Canada and I have the driver seat easy exit set to off and it does work for me. I'm wondering if it's quirk on the right hand drive (or Aussie) cars.

It probably is (and in Britain too). But it's a massively dangerous issue, not just for people's legs but also for the idea that you would have to leave a toddler someone not strapped in while you started the car.

I had one on order, the first production run after the car was released. then changed the order to be the first in country with the Mk8 20th I cancelled the order after waiting over 12 months and would likely see the car mid next year. Brought an RS3 instead that is stage 2. Underground Performance has gotten over 270kw at the wheels out of the Mk8 Golf
