The real test is a week of commuting in the UK on some of the best roads in the world, a run to the tip in Oldham on Saturday and parking half on the kerb outside the chippy Saturday night.

Spec it with DCC shocks and it will do commuting on rough UK roads for breakfast every day. Just put them in comfort and your GTI/R has turned into a regular Golf when it comes to damping comfort. Stuff is borderline magic. Greets 8 R owner.

I have the mk8 Clubsport and love it. I honestly can't stop taking it out for drives! During my two years of ownership, I've found the traction control less intrusive in Special, Nurburg Ring mode compared to Sport; sport seems to cut power when pushing on. I'd love to take it around a track and a tour of Germany, I think it would be brilliant! The seats and DCC are brilliant too, such a comfortable car... Does everything.

I’ve had my mk8 GTI for about 18months. The regular GTI also has the VAQ diff on the front as standard (well the mk8 did anyway) I’ve never had an issue with the haptic buttons on the steering wheel. The mk8.5 R retains them and I do think they look better. The new screen is large but is it actually any better - time will tell. The virtual cockpit/display looks a bit tweaked from the mk8 as expected. Enjoyed the vid Joe

I have a regular GTI 380 S mk 8. Because it’s the S it has infotainment knobs (smaller screen) but it was a special edition in that it got all the autobahn dynamic goodies: Wheels, summer tires (which are a must out of winter to get the power down without traction loss), adaptive dampers and that locking diff with torque vectoring. The most important part? Manual gearbox. The last ever on any golf. That’s why I got it. It’s perfect as a daily driver with my Cayman for weekends. I don’t think we have OPFs here either so it sounds great.

The clubsport’s front bumper on the MK8 and the 8.5 are the best looking of the 3 models, GTI, R, and clubsport. An all black R with the clubsport’s front bumper, and the clubsport’s interior, ditching any of the lame blue colors the R uses, would be the ultimate Golf

I think BMW has dropped the ball in this Hot Hatch Game, 135i (the old one), 140i, 240i were seriously dope cars in this class, but since then nothing really happened, the 135 xdrive is (I'm sorry) really nowhere near a Golf R or even a Clubsport on a dry road in terms of fun (and probably even speed), plus it looks just so sad. I'm a long time BMW Fan, several E30s, E34, E46 and still owning an Alpina, but my Daily is a Golf 8 GTI CS now, BMW just doesn't have any fun car anymore for decent money, tragic, cause for a long time BMW were the absolute masters of sporty, fun daily drivers. The Clubsport is exactly that, nice, liveable daily that can turn into serious hooliganism in a millisecond.

VAG DSG gearboxes are a bit lazy on downshift unless you're actively on the brake. it is much faster downshifting if it knows you are actively decellerating. just lifting and selecting downshift is secondary priority to upshift. its always looking to upshift priority for fuel efficiency Edit: it still will always look to upshift and be more conservative on downshift as to not brick the engine etc. FWD moreso that AWD as well.

If given the choice I still have the MK8 sounds odd but they have improved on a few things, but like this. A few steps forward and one or two back GTi on the door looks out of place. I like the bigger screen and buttons but its not really a giant step.

We all know car prices are a joke but if you can't afford brand new which is a waste of money then buy used. Doesn't matter if its a Merc, Audi, or BMW, they all have similar price rises over the years. Do you think a GTi will start between £25-30K 😂😂

Coming from Germany... I can confirm it's absolutely ridiculous how people switch from right lane to left lane without caring about who is coming. You don't have to go 250 kmh. It's enough driving 180 kmh (112 mph) and you have to brake hard all the time. With 3 rows it's not getting much better as 90% drive 120 kmh (75 mph) on the center lane ignoring the existence of the right lane. Even there is a law which clearly tells you to drive on the right lane (in scenario you could disturb the traffic driving on center lane), it simply doesn't bother as it isn't checked by police at all. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a political reason behind the fact police doesn't control this at all.

Still just tacked onto the dash like an afterthought. How big is big enough? Automakers seem to know no bounds. I'm waiting for one that blocks the entire windshield and has to display the view of the road on a portion of it. Probably only a year or two away. 🤦‍♀

Intro: just normal Autobahn driving and "someone" makes it look like some action footage lol, yeah well, you made it to cruising speed...sorry but that kinda intro is just laughable...oh and in Germany, you don t drive like a donkey as in changing lanes when some traffic is around the horizon on the slower lane...you change in a fluid way when you approach traffic on the right lane..and not like 1 min/eternity earlier..honestly, just really bad whilst doing as if you were hustling it. God, even on track, you chose the wrong line and then stating like "following the instructor choosing a different line" ...yeah I wonder why you were slower, coz you chose the wrong approach... I m borderline shocked.

Absolute rubbish, modern setups with modern tyres can easily handle 300hp.

Sorry, you are dead wrong. My Octavia RS is running 305 hp and with decent tyres it is not a problem unless you drive like an absolute muppet…….
