Nürburgring MODE makes the Golf R the HOTTEST HATCH!

Got one coming in the next couple of weeks 🎉 for my 72nd birthday. More car than I will ever need😊.

I just got mine 2 weeks ago in manual and I love it! Only thing for me is that the AC control should be on a different screen or at least not to use the whole screen every time you want a little adjustment i.e. vent air speed. Driving dynamics are awesome, coming from a GTI I do feel the push coming from the rear wheels, I do feel the traction control in sport mode kicks in too early but seems its adjustable, so, still playing with that setup.

Over here in Germany you only get the R with the DSG, so this time we missed the good stuff

Great video! I just bought a 2024 manual golf r (had a manual gti) and I am loving it. Question-you mention an S and S+ setting within the nurburgring mode. I’m not finding that on my model (I’m in the US). I’d love to capitalize on the settings you describe-optimizing the throttle and steering but softening the ride. Thanks!

Love the car, just can't decide on the DSG or manual... Perfect practical yet fun car and NOT and SUV!

[@Rnbdbdjejec]

DSG

[@dougmaverick3287]

Which do you prefer the manual or the DSG, that's the million dollar question I have to answer. I noticed you never tried to drive it in manual mode with the paddle shifters is there any reason why? Love the engagement of the manual, us the DSG as fun to drive as a manual??

[@carloscanizares101]

Wait, no more soundaktor? It’s all speaker now?

[@gabrielel504]

S+ on race to? Or just the special mode?

[@erickm26]

Man I love your content but what’s up with the fisheye camera mode It’s making me dizzy lol

Best car if it was available and at the fare price

All it needs is tires and important to be exactly Continental Extreme Contact Sport 186 mph+ rating and extra load for heavier cars with 340 AA A Blackwall and exactly 255/40/19 100Y XL This tire set up is specifically for Los Angeles roads . I tried the same tire in all season on my mk7 and it drove like BMW and mbz as far as how it was connector the asphalt had bumps and just messed up freeways and roads. The Michelin is also a great choice but still bumpy compared to this and gets flat faster I tried beat Michelin pilot sport 4 on mk7 and tts audi , and I feel like they are made for rear drive cars

"The whole fascia is the same (at the GTI)" No. Pretty much everything below the headlights is different.

[@TerryManitoba]

Yes too refined - Not raw enough for me I took one out just to see if I might get the R instead of GR Corolla❓ I took one out for a test and thought it was kind of boring - especially with the auto trans on that one. (I daily a Fiesta ST & love it) So Toyota will be getting my money❗❗❗

[@blam9346]

Fiesta ST does not compare in any way to the mk8R. It's like comparing a Honda Civic to a Supra.

[@Golfr2020]

I stick to my Mk 7 5.
