Happy to hear you liked it, thanks and thanks for watching 🙏

Nice report and impressive speed with those stock Golf‘s 👍

[@whatcarwhattime]

Yes. I had the track to myself without any pace cars for 3 laps at the end. Sadly didn't film this but it did go a lot, lot faster. So yeah, proper sport hot hatchback 👍. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@FaceliftGT]

Nice one!! :) Seems pretty fun and fast :)

[@whatcarwhattime]

Thanks! A proper hot hatch for the road and a splendid weekend track day racer. Impressive! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@davidbrady1551]

I had a mk8 clubsport and really liked it. Now driving a bmw m240i which is on another level power wise but thinking about going for the new R black edition or the new audi s3 hatchback. Which would you prefer as a daily?

[@whatcarwhattime]

Great cars all of them. I like the pure driving joy of RWD BMW but this new MK 8.5 R is rather savage and complete package for being a day to day car and all of a sudden changing into a track happy hatchback. Havent driven the new S3 yet. Will book one soon for a review. Thanks for watching 🙏

In gti club sport they turn to physical buttons on steering wheel. But in R still doesnt have physicall buttons

[@whatcarwhattime]

Yes. Its all due to the R-button that you get in the R-model. They couldnt change that so thats why they stick with the now improved touch buttons. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@JacesOwnWorld]

If the Golf R started in the $30k's, then I would consider one. It has the comfort, performance, AWD, and practicality. But its a bit too expensive for me to consider buying one new. At its price point, it really should have a bigger engine than just a 2.0T. 2.5T would be much better regarding its price point.

[@whatcarwhattime]

@@JacesOwnWorld But as you set it really hard through its paces, you will think twice about that. Trust me🙂 Thanks for watching 🙏

[@GethinJames]

Looks like several journalists released vids yesterday - were you all at the same event? Looking forward to more real world road reviews of this car. This whole drift mode thing is just a marketing hitch and of no interest to me...

[@whatcarwhattime]

@@GethinJames ofcourse it is, the best thing with it is its overall driving capabilities. Fantastic on track and great on road. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@FeN1xDD]

Thanks for the review! Have you driven new BMW m135 F70? It would be interesting to compare them with 8.5R in terms of driving, handling, steering, etc.

[@whatcarwhattime]

Thank you so much for watching 🙏 No, havent tested that one out yet. Will have a look if they have it available as a test car and I might book it. 🙂

[@FeN1xDD]

@@whatcarwhattime sounds great! Curious to hear your thoughts and comparison with 8.5 during the test drive of new m135.

[@whatcarwhattime]

[@Madeiniran420]

We need an oily pavement for this car to see what it's actually capable of handling wise
