This 2021 VW GOLF MK8 GTI is a Proper Weapon to Drive!

[@TRHamza]

Finally got to drive one of these, impressive for a ‘standard’ GTI. Wonder what the new Clubsport is like!

[@dannyybd5782]

YOU NEED TO DO REVIEW NEW AUDI S3 asap

[@powleypowley1]

Shame about the way it looks

[@jordanlegard3764]

I wish the club sport had a better wheel option but it doesn’t

[@Josh_0579]

You definitely need to do a Mk8 GTI build

[@relaycampervan]

I bet the next R will be a real hoot too! Still not sold on the headlights and touch controls.

Appreciate that thank you 🙌🏼

Fantastic review on this car. Exactly what you want from a car review. No waffle all to the point stuff. Well done mate👍👏

[@fusionlord2533]

We all know hamza didn’t want to upload the GTD video as he got made fun of for saying GED 🤣.

[@TRHamza]

Throwback that 🤣

[@shax5292]

Overboard with the touch controls, nice exterior. Good review. Congrats on the 100k

[@TRHamza]

Thank you 👍🏼

[@lewisratford2908]

Owned a mK7.5 GTI pp - all I’m saying is the 245bhp was a very healthy 245bhp. Really well optimised for the diff too. They are quick cars and really well set up for U.K. roads. The new Mk8 seems like marmite ..but I bet it goes down the road well

[@matt.2346]

My mans like “says golf there incase you forget what car your in” 😂👍🏻

[@NashKetchum]

Great review, thank you Hamza! I appreciate you not being overly negative and ripping on it left and right like some reviewers. It is good to keep an open mind - looks tend to grow on people, and while unusual that button-less interior I imagine would really pop and impress people that first step into it. PS: I'm jealous you get to drive on those beautiful backroads there in the U.K. :)

[@PaulX]

imagine trying to change driving modes whilst driving, too much hassle

[@TRHamza]

Hopefully they add some physical buttons back in a facelift, would be ideal

[@GhulamMustafa-ic3xr]

@@MT-kx2uc Also has a drift mode which is cool

[@GhulamMustafa-ic3xr]

That is exactly why I would rather have the mk 7.5 interior bc it's not as hard to change driving modes

[@danielrussell446]

It’s not that bad in reality I have an 8 and love it

[@dill8498]

There is a physical button under the display to get to the driving mode menu...

[@theman9513]

Thank you for a clear fast but informative review rather than just talking poop like most others

[@user_uif_ghg_wer_das]

The interior might be two generation ahead, but the prop rod of the bonnet is five generations backward.

[@Umar_1994_]

how often do you actually lift the bonnet though, not a big deal for most tbh.

[@user_uif_ghg_wer_das]

@@Umar_1994_ I can do without any rod at all, but it's all about the feel, the look, you know, maybe you don't understand.

[@TheWdaimee]

I disagree with the two generations ahead for the interior. This buttonless design crap has been going on for the past 10 years. Most automotive manufactures who used capacitive touch buttons have gone back to physical buttons (Honda and Ford come to mind). The only thing that is really "two generations" ahead is the digital cluster.

[@zvrif]

All love my guy, thank you for the thorough review it’s much appreciated by VW enthusiasts.

[@jakel9410]

What a comeback from this year man.Been following you since the high mileage mk5! So under rated. Next year will bring the subs you deserve 💪👍

[@MSH4HID]

I have 2020 diesel Version and the self driving features is the best thing about it. It makes driving effort less

[@Straker1923]

Thanks, enjoyed the vid very much! I bought a one last week (had a 7.5 before...no complaints with that, just needed to change). Never had an auto box before, but must admit, I love it. As I live in the Lake District, the roads are pretty shite, but there are many back roads where you can wellie a car a bit and hurt no one!

[@MrArchie800]

Nice real life review as always. Just ordered one and pretty excited as I wanted an all rounder that my wife won't be intimidated to drive and I can chuck the dogs in the back but still have a bit of fun with.

[@parvindermander5664]

Great review, slowly starting to grow on me the looks but interior materials look like a step backward, iffy plastics. Also too much touch screen buttons, I feel in some areas VW has tried to cut costs, definitely need the upgrade alloys to make it look better over the horrid standard alloys

[@kalheer]

Keep it going bro.. love the channel and the content 👍🏻

[@TRHamza]

Thank you bro

[@donomar4472]

Ahh man looks usually grow on us but I can't see the new front end of golfs growing on anyone....such a shame

[@ffuriouss8390]

Golf 7.5 GTI the best!

[@JohnDoe-bj3tj]

@Bryce Czirr 8 is in my opinion rather hideous and the interior is too smartphone-y. The 7 (and then the 7.5) was an excellent replacement to the 6, even back then...the only thing that took time getting used to was the change in them tail lights as I loved the mk6 tail lights. However, this change has a lot of shittiness to it.

[@JohnDoe-bj3tj]

@Bryce Czirr No but all these new cars looks pretty damn shit but there are examples where they do look better in my opinion. The newer RS4s and RS6s look even better than the already fantastic looking older models....

[@JohnDoe-bj3tj]

@Bryce Czirr no way in hell does the new supra look better. But hey, ur opinion... Like even the new BMW grilles look horrible and altho they are starting to grow on me and looking acceptable, the older gen looks far better (tbf the m340i looks gorgeous and is definitly up there with the f80 shapes). The golf may become acceptable in due time like the bimma, but it's still not a very nice thing to look at.

[@JohnDoe-bj3tj]

@Bryce Czirr meh. The outgoing m4 looks a fair bit better than the e92 but not the new one. The rest of the car perhaps but that horrible grille really ruins it. Only in black does that car look good.

[@fusionlord2533]

So gassed for this video 💯 Love your videos bro mashallah, I always look forward to your videos when I’m in a bad mood.

[@Josh_0579]

My problem with the design is that the front is too aggressive for the side. It just doesn't fit but I guess you could fix that with a sideskirt

[@ItsDanLatham]

Been trying to find a dealership that will lend me one of these to compare to my 2020 Cupra, I'm too small fry at the moment lol. I love the character of these FWD hot hatches.

[@marveysingh1256]

Not a fan of the basic one to be honest. Clubsport rear looks awesome as does the R! Front end is a weird one for me, I think without the middle light bar would be better I think. Will have to see what it’s like in the flesh!

[@paddykelly3095]

I'm not sure on the looks I think the previous one was bang on

[@naz.tanzeem5982]

The designer's love to over design,less is more,the boot lid comes out to much then goes in at a angle,should have rounded the back a bit more.nicer to the eye,i suppose the front could grow on you.but the rear design is a let down.

[@ramneeksingh6097]

@tr hamza try test driving a bmw 125i lci a bit of newer ones and see what its like compared to other hot hatches i feel like its a bit underrated

Forget about buttons people. I always remember trying to buy a phone with buttons about 10 years ago and I had to live with no button's. But I haven't looked back 👍

[@ekcivicuk]

Issue is, you look at a phone while using it. While driving you don't want to be looking at the buttons to know what you're pressing and if you even pressed it etc, distracts you from driving.
