NEW Volkswagen Golf R FACELIFT | AUTOBAHN DRIVE!

[@davesmith5656]

Thank you for showing the cruise control! I am surprised that they put them on the wheel where they belong (like Mustang, Corvette, LC 500, Mercedes), because other cars under the VW umbrella (Porsche, Bentley) subordinate motion of the car to the telephone and other infotainment.

[@npoleary]

That’s alright! 👍🏼 thanks for watching!

[@xanderdixon3688]

Im not a fan of VW cars,but to be fair that looks really nice nd sounds gud aswell

[@npoleary]

Yeah! I’ve got my eye on the black edition 😜

[@luciussander8217]

gud?

[@npoleary]

@luciussander8217 good 😊

[@OSKAR-ch7jk]

Looks like mk8 with Akrapovic better sound

[@ItsDanLatham]

Shame about the buttons, but looks like a nice refresh!

[@npoleary]

They’re not easily pressed so it wouldn’t put me off one. I’ve got my eye on a black edition 😜

[@kashifalam-hs7sx]

Hi Nick, Your videos are truly amazing! We have an editing team that can help enhance your content. Is there any way we can assist you with your channel? Thanks, Kashif Alam

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏 Glad you enjoy them! Sadly not looking to outsource anything at the moment but never say never 👍🏼

[@darrenrhoden6112]

Excellent all round video on Golf R, is it as good as Mercedes A35 OR A45?

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Hard to tell as I only had it for a short time as others needed to film too. But…hopefully I can get my hands on one for longer!

[@npoleary]

I will add, the black edition looks fire! 🔥 👌🏼👌🏼

[@neilmcguinness4422]

The A45s is in a higher performance category. Period.

[@npoleary]

A45 S is for sure! But A35 is similar to a degree

[@Golfr2020]

Hmmm. An improvement of the mk 8. I currently own a 2020 mk 7.5 fully optioned, stage 1 ecu and dsg tune and it is a blast @ 4 seconds 0 to 100km. Would i consider the mk 8.5? I would imagine the purchase price killing it.

[@npoleary]

That sounds like a fast one! 🤓 🚗 💨

[@satyajeetsingh6818]

Hi Nick do you suggest to buy any Demo car from dealer? And can you do video on differences between demo and on-road cars. Would be great help

[@npoleary]

Ah like pros and cons of buying a demo from a dealer?

[@satyajeetsingh6818]

@@npoleary Yes and missing features in demo cars

[@npoleary]

Oh cool okay? What do you mean by missing features though? Normally demos from dealers usually have a high specification, sometimes they have middle of the road or standard ones which is good for comparisons!

[@werdnaeel8533]

@@satyajeetsingh6818”missing” features would just be any packages/options the car wasn’t built with.

[@StevenMurray-mt7om]

Hi Nick… Another great video 👍

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏 Got another lined up for Friday too! 🙈

[@boxoftricsvds4950]

Great engine but the Looks is a big NO from me .Put all that engine in a MK6 and i ll have it any day !!! Great engine !!!

[@npoleary]

Is that what you have at the moment? 🤓

[@neilmcguinness4422]

As a Golf 7 R owner I think that the 2024 Golf R looks damn fine. My car is black, and I am delighted that Golf is introducing the Black Edition, as some kudos may now drop down to my car. Especially amongst petrolheads with little in depth knowledge. Well, I gotta dream haven't I?..😅😅

[@DecensMagazin]

What about the colours? Have you heared anything about new colours?

[@npoleary]

Didn’t hear anything about colours at the moment but keep an eye out as it’ll be available on Volkswagen’s website soon!

[@DecensMagazin]

Thanks, I would be happy with coulours like metallic orange, metallic red, metallic green. The prdecessor’s white/black/blue selection was so so poor for such an emotional toy as the R is…

[@npoleary]

We’ll have to wait and see! 👍🏼

[@FeN1xDD]

only 3 colours, white, blue and black.

[@billionbear]

Fully loaded with all options that’s surely going to be nudging close to £60k?

[@npoleary]

Yeah possibly!

[@luciussander8217]

No one with a brain will buy it for that price, as an RS3 costs that - much better car and faster.

[@Golfr2020]

Who's got the money? 😅

[@glencampbell8884]

Do you think the mk8 will come down in price when this is out

[@npoleary]

Maybe! Naturally when a new model comes out on anything prices do change slightly. I wouldn’t know for certain if they will though. If they do they might fall into my radar! Wanted to drive it more! Didn’t want to give the keys back! 😅

[@neilmcguinness4422]

They should, but probably not by as much as people hope. At the dealers anyway.

[@alphaway3]

very nice one Nick ..Thanks for the great video :)

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏

[@davelawrence594]

Love it great little video can't wait for you to test drive it fully!!🤞🏻👌🏻👍🏻

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I know so many people have messaged to say (including my brother 😅) that it looks really smart! I’ve got my eye on the black edition 👀

[@davelawrence594]

@npoleary No worries 👍🏻 I'm old skool & not a fan of anything black if I'm honest but that's what makes us all different!!😊👌🏻👍🏻

[@ccartee1]

Watching your videos from USA. As you know, we speak the same language, but use different words. I would love to see a video where you pick out all of the different car parts in both languages. Bonus points if you could describe why there’s a difference. I get a kick of hearing words like boot, and bonnet. Are there any American English words used by auto enthusiasts that you find funny or mess you up?

[@npoleary]

Haha oh I’m not sure if there are that many! 😅 Here’s a few that I can think of off the top of my head: Tyre /// Tire Boot /// Trunk Windscreen /// Windshield Motorway /// Freeway Bonnet /// Hood Accelerator /// Gas Pedal Slip Road /// Ramp Why? Ooo not sure, no bonus points for me 😂 I don’t think so, I know what the other USA words are 😊

[@tREVVA1]

This is an amateur audition tape, right? 😂
