THE MOST UNDERRATED HOT HATCH!!! 414BHP MK6 GOLF R

[@islamdrai2553]

Most beautiful golf ever made

[@bendude6748]

I’d hardly say a golf R was underrated

I'm in the US, and I own a Mk6 R... I've been in love since I saw the ad online. Got it 49.5k miles. Had it for 7 months now, and it's only at 51.8k miles. I treat her right, and she responds right when I want her to put power down. Running a Stage 1 tune for a month now, and I highly recommend it. The turbo hiss always puts a smile on my face. With the APR stage 1 the turbo definitely sounds better. Can't wait to do more modifications to my R. But I'm still under warranty🤫

[@rosswilson2988]

There was only a limited number of Mk6 Rs built for the UK which is why you don’t see a lot of them . I’m fortunate enough to own one. I had the option to purchase a Mk7 R but couldn’t do it due to the popularity of them and it’s all because of these leasing deals. Don’t get me wrong the Mk7 R is a brilliant car, very predictable on the road and a strong MQB engine to compliment it. But I prefer the feel to the Mk6 and in my eye, it’s a better looking car. And because these were built before this leasing nonsense, good spec low mileage examples hold value really well.

[@mattbishop30]

Ross Wilson I was the same, could have had a bogstandard mk7 as they were everywhere due to the leasing deals ending and hitting the 2nd hand market. I decided on a mk6 as it felt much more solid (heavier too maybe) and for the same price I could have it fully specced with money for an extended warranty. I wasn’t sad saying bye to my mk5 gti but I am genuinely going to miss the 6r when it eventually gets changed.

[@tommyers2183]

Ross Wilson same here 👍🏻

[@makarrembw]

Ross Wilson Well said! I’ve had a 2010 mk6 Golf R for 5 years and I very, very rarely see another on the roads. I love mine though.

[@LivingLifeSlower]

Theres no denying that my Mk7 Golf R was a better all round car than my Mk6 Golf R. But the Mk6 R felt special, whereas the Mk7 R just felt like white goods. I didnt look at my Mk7 R and think it looked special. If anything the Mk7 R looked like a slightly tweaked entry-level Golf. The Mk6 steering feel is slightly less direct, but can be improved. I'd actually have another low mileage Mk6 again, whereas I'd walk away from another Mk7 R. Good purchase.

[@tommyers2183]

Martin Allen well said. Same reason I got the 6

[@markvanramselaar4868]

I love my Mk6 Golf R that I have here in Australia. Unfortunately ours were detuned due to our hot climate and poor quality fuel. I have DSG, Leather, Dynamic Chassis Control & 19” Talledega’s with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres. I upgraded the head unit to an Apple CarPlay one and fitted an adjustable 26mm Superpro rear sway bar and Superpro adjustable end links. Stage 1 ECU/TCU tune planned for 2023.

[@davespooney8472]

Underrated? A Golf R? Ahh, I get it, the MK6 undersold compared to the 7. A 6 with the manual box is the way I’d go if I wanted a fast Golf.

[@tozza9048]

the auto is a much better gearbox in the mk6

[@dolfziggla936]

Not many because there wasn't so many PCP mugs then

Yeah exactly 🤣

[@mk4_w4g0n]

I have to agree with you as I bought the other identical 414hp golf 6r 2 months ago and I've not stopped smiling since i got it

[@iDriveNotxDrive]

[@sirphoenixknight3567]

just got myself a MK6 R 3Door with DSG. going to Stage 1 ECU + Stage 2 DSG + Haldex Comp Controller and Tune. all you need for a daily driver :D

[@gordonremsey8055]

Love Mk6s. Don't have or could never afford a Golf R but I love that model. Have one myself and its a dream to drive. And i was never a huge Golf fan but after driving one I understand why they've so much love :)

[@steventhomas9461]

Ive had a MK6 R ,i moved up from a MK5 R32 ,love the R so much.

[@projectcars3455]

I actually want the MK6 Golf R way before i saw this video they have loads of potential

[@MrHappyraver]

i agree jamie. here in Edinburgh, i hardly see any golf mk6 r. i do see the odd mk5 R32 and alot of the mk7 r, i do get a woo face when i see a mk6 r, as u say there not many about at all and i dont know why really. myself i would have either a golf mk5 R32 or the mk 6 as i dont like the mk7 r

[@Onlydansmtb]

Golf mk6R is underrated as at the time of release PCP wasn't really a thing and for the same money (buying your car through finance or cash price) you could buy a Audi 8P, which had the same engine/running gear and also a better badge.

This is the only person 'reviewing' cars on KZbin who sounds like and has the facial expressions of someone who has just had a good shit. He hasn't a clue what he's talking about, and repeats the same thing over and over again. It's comedy gold. It's cringe worthy. Please tell me, these videos are a joke? Why anyone would allow him to drive their car and expect promotion from it is beyond me.

True. It's sad in a way, probably the same reason you watch too. It's entertainment. He's much funnier than any comedian today. I do have doubts about him though, can anyone be really this pathetic? It's got to be an act. If so, he's a genius! @@christopherbeevor9315

Nobody bought it because it isn't much of an upgrade from Mk5 GTi Edition 30 owners with the same engine, R32 owners didn't want to upgrade either. Edition 35 Mk6 is popular with ED30 owners as an upgrade but the R is still ignored

[@josephtaylor3769]

Jamie can I ask where are the reviews on the older cars stuff from early 2000’s & 90’s. This is for the retro guys and gals I see golfs every day they are a common ad dog muck.

[@sammysev16]

Joseph Taylor probably because they’re all a bit slow to today’s standards! Don’t get me wrong I love reckon 90s-early 00s is my favourite era of cars but cars have moved on so much since then

[@josephtaylor3769]

They mite be slower well some of them. But my mk3 cavalier Sri with Saab b304r conversion will keep up. And you have to show old school stuff too. Not just cars we see on today roads.

[@sammysev16]

Joseph Taylor modify a tractor enough and it’ll keep up with a golf r, unfair comparison really 🤣 i agree though, but to be fair I haven’t seen many mk6 r’s on the road

[@josephtaylor3769]

[@tomreid1746]

Because people were used to the flagship Golf's having a big brutish engine!

[@jameslloydcole8783]

I just never see the point in this car, they’re what 11-13k for a nice one... why would anybody want it? Boring to look at, pretty expensive, not luxurious at all, boring engine. The amount of cars you could buy for the same price, that’s the reason you don’t see any. You say this car’s amazing, that’s because its had thousands spent on mods to make it better.
