Here's WHY the VW Golf R is a Better DRIVERS CAR than My Audi S3!

[@TRHamza]

Hope you guys found this video useful! There's definitely enough differences between each car. If you want YOUR Car on the channel email me at: '[e-mail]'

[@bbahmed007]

TR Hamza This Golf R or the preface S3 ?

[@TRHamza]

You too bro!

[@TRHamza]

Golf R

[@shincyber1]

TR Hamza was thinking changing get my mk7 GTD for an R shortly but after watching this video I'm 100% decided. Those wheels and that colour also :)

[@farhaanahmed5401]

As a Golf R owner, I can honestly say that it's the best car for the money, driving wise. When I was younger I used to judge a car on how good it's numbers were (power, torque, 0-60) but nowadays I've realized it's more about how fast you can actually drive it. I own an M4 as well and although it is faster than the golf R, I feel so much more confident driving the golf R fast because it's so planted and controllable in the corners. But great content bro, keep it up!

[@TRHamza]

Thank you bro will do! Yeah it is a very competent car for sure, you can definitely drive it much faster than some more powerful machinery. The only place I'd say it falls down is on outright fun though (like my S3), once you get past the initial stage of being impressed with the grip on tap you kind of just know what to expect. Still fantastic cars though for the money as you say 👍🏼

[@RawwUnderGround]

Farhaan Ahmed real shit i have personally own a E63S but i hardly drive it fast it's scary

[@munzirrafik7753]

El Chapo wow my grandma tell me the same story

[@Alexr-uf3zn]

Farhaan Ahmed exactly when you get to a certain level of fast cars the numbers don't matter it's how fast you can drive it it's only top racing drivers that truly can push car to their limit that notice the difference normal people will get to a certain speed and not go any faster weather they're in a golf r or 911 turbo s, it's really about how it makes you feel and if it's a daily driver how comfortable it is and how easy it is to live with. My dad has a 911 turbo s brilliant car more a weekend thing and a Range Rover for a daily driver but he's thinking about the Ferrari 488 in the next year or so. I can decide between the new rs mountune package or a golf r in white with those wheels and a stage one map after she's run in with a few miles on it both lonely machines. Do the golfs and all vag cars still cut the power when you try to left foot brake? That always fucked me of lol

[@wilkinsonyachtbrokerUK]

How do u own an m4 and an R?

Top Gear should take note this is how you report on a car without all the cringing bullshit stupidity they think is so funny. It’s not funny it’s just annoying.

[@ryanpurewal3445]

This is honestly one of the best car reviews I've ever come across. Properly knowledgable and relevant comparisons which are actually useful to ordinary car buyers. So different to all the other carbon copy reviewers on KZbin. Maybe just throw in a few headline stats comparisons like price, power and speed and also cost of some of the main specs. But overall this is top quality content!

I was stuck between choosing the golf r mk7 and the scirocco r. Both handle and perform really well. Golf r is slightly quicker and has awd. I went for the scirocco in the end mainly for rarity and I think it looks awesome.You don't see many of them about. Both brilliant cars.

[@TRHamza]

Yeah both great cars, will be driving a Scirocco R soon to see what they're about!

[@RookieRay]

[@fahidlod1]

TR Hamza still sitting here waiting on you to drive that Rocco R😢

[@binthetube]

Oh the pain, I'm thinking of buying one of these and just test drove a few used S3 and Golf Rs and I can't decide. Golf R is much more fun and practical, but the S3's interior and exterior looks so much nicer. And that Bang and Olufsen in the S3 is so smooth! Help.....

[@elleJay-mb4yn]

N P what did u end up getting in the end? I indecisive but went for the S3. And let’s just say I’m not disappointed

[@elleJay-mb4yn]

Adrian Ncube I’m sure you’ll be happy with either one. My dream car is the RS3 hopefully have that within the next two years.

[@navinpoonpipat8476]

elle Jay It’s sad, the short story is I couldn’t fine a nice S3 or Golf R. Keep reading for the long story... I went to a few dealerships and test drove a bunch of certified models, but for some strange reason they were all in bad condition. I decided on used models because a have a few friends who have new GTIs and I decided a new Golf R/S3 wasn’t worth it. Anyways back to the certified cars, one had a trunk full of dog hair. It looked liked they didn’t even wash or vacuumed the car. And the one clean Golf R I did find was stuck in FWD. Yeah I know, I was like WTF!?!? What happened was we found quiet road to try launch control, but when I launched the R it was going more sideways than going forward! I turned to look at the salesman and he played it cool telling me “that’s normal”... There was so much smoke I had to wait a few seconds for it all to blow away because I couldn’t see past the hood. So after a little research, I read that a few guys were talking about the Haldex system problems. Since I drive cars at 11/10 all day I was really worried about the Haldex system failure and gave up on the Golf R & S3. I eventually test drove a dozen more cars, crossovers, & SUVs from N. LA down to El Cajon! Oh by the way, most of the time I’m dragging my wife and two toddlers with me. Eventually I gave up looking and bought the cleanest certified car I could find, a two year old BMW X4 28i. I drove a few 35i and decided I liked the way the 28i feels, after looking up the weight balance. My bottom was right, the 28i has a slight rearward weigh balance. My X4 new 20” summer P-zeros with 275 wide rears, I love wide sticky tires! I know the X4 is strange looking but it’s so balanced, it drives better than the 2017 330i. Last summer I got to auto-cross the X4 and beat a bunch of modified “race” cars including a S2000 and a 492 Challenger! But I couldn’t catch all the cars that had slicks, and yeah one of them was a S3. Since then my wife took my X4 and gave me her old 2012 X5 35d. It’s almost time to replace the X5. I wonder how those S5 & S7 drive... anyone want to join me?!?!

[@RickMey15]

Liked before I watched because I love the Golf R

[@TRHamza]

Thanks! Great car for sure

[@donbrashsux]

An accurate description about how they handle corners,i love how you can power through corners in the wet and it just asks for more throttle yet feels so safe, i have lowered mine on Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs which also helps Its a weapon when it comes to tighter mountain type driving and the power upgrade just throws it from corner to corner..

[@nasa1985]

Love the golf R... your review was spot on, very informative and genuine. Keep up the good work man.

[@TRHamza]

Thanks man, I appreciate the support! 👊🏼

[@nimafatemi6816]

I have owned Golf R only for three months and I love it so very much. It's not only a good performer but very comfortable to drive around the city. A tone of legroom in for the back passengers. Problem is, I get constantly challenged by Subaru STI and Honda type -R owners. Once I lost my temper and got into a drag race with a dressed-up STI. He was taught a lesson not to forget.

Love the sound of that engine. Volkswagen hasn't forgotten how to build a true driver's sports car. I use to own many BMW's but their business model changed to a bulkier, less connected to the driver car. These Volkswagens seem more exciting to drive. The R is definitely one of the better cars out there. Good video !!

[@M.Vardy82]

The sound you hear is not the engine it's a speaker that vibrates against the bulkhead and most VAG group cars have this

[@michaelfardoulis9438]

The S3 sedan is significantly more planted and better handling than the hatch. The golf R is much better than the S3 hatch, but the sedan is better all round car. Golf R is more fun but the sedan is better to live with daily and I've never had a moment that the car was not 100% planted. Also Audi is obviously better quality, it's the expensive big brother.

[@Mo-ug2vf]

Damn bro. I Miss my R now. I had a tuned OZ racing Golf R. First time I took the R for a test drive I was shocked. The comfort is really good. The interior and entertainment system were superb too. You didn't mention the ambient lighting inside (the lightstrip in the doors) was surprised by that too. I guess the only problem with the R is the small engine. You can notice the revs don't get up too high. When you rev the engine it goes from loud to soft revs in an instant. If you get what I mean. Overall the car is 9/10

[@AL71B]

Although I have not driven the Golf 7R, I wish I had before getting my FL S3 8V, having seen this video. But your assessment of the S3 is spot on. I have a mag-ride S3 and it's suspension is crashy but also bouncy - even in dynamic mode!! Audi have done a poor job in my opinion. I have come from an S3 8P and I'm also a Golf 6R owner, and both those cars handle U.K. roads better than this FL S3. Very disappointed with its handling.

[@TRHamza]

Glad you agree pal, it is really strange isn't it! In dynamic it stiffens up and you think you're gonna demolish a back road and then all of a sudden you're bouncing around over little imperfections. Doesn't inspire confidence, but then again I guess Ive only noticed it when trying to cover ground at a decent pace. I thought initially that its just the way its supposed to be but after driving this R it has made it really noticeable.

[@umarnovsarka]

[@TRHamza]

Thank you mate!

[@ilikemypizza]

Funny story. I'm in the same boat. Lease ending on my Audi S3... but want to switch to the Golf R

[@ads2211]

I have a facelift s3 and compared to other 4wd cars I’ve owned and driven, you have to really drive it .. sometimes the steering doesn’t give you genuine feedback and you get that feeling you aren’t getting 100% from it.. that being said the grip is phenomenal , I’m running Dunlop sport maxx’s on 18s and compared got the other s3’s I drove before mine that were running on hankooks they are the best tyre for this car, my dad runs them on his e92 M3 now and he says they have changed the car - and that’s coming from a veteran racing driver .. Maybe this particular golf just has the perfect setup for a 5 dr with that little extra weight to it? I’m intrueged to drive one now after this vid And feel the differences, cool video mate really enjoyed it

[@Kamil-km3ny]

You convinced me 😂 it turned out that you were 💯 right about handling and having so much fun in R

[@mohammedbostan9467]

[@TRHamza]

[@mynameismclovin]

The rs3 is a beast, it is certainly a much nicer car, but then again it is about 40k more. Personally, I wouldn't go for the rs3 as I can't justify the price difference. I'd rather get an mk7 R or an s3 and upgrade them to stage 3+.

[@E92TilInfinity]

in the uk the rs3 starts from 40k and the golf r starts from 30k, only a 10k difference, in light of new car prices, its worth it

[@E92TilInfinity]

Nobody is talking about maintenance costs so stop with all that waffle, also you can compare the price of a used car all you want but were not talking about used cars are we, were talking about retail for new cars... stop trying to make an argument out of irrelevant things smh

[@E92TilInfinity]

No its not at all, the discussion was about retail price and its worthiness of what you get in stock form, nothing to do with maintenance costs. the rs3 doesn't just have the power output, its has the legendary 5 cylinder engine, better drivetrain, better brakes, just a better package in terms of its mechanicals also being more exclusive, saying that, id prefer a 3dr car

What is the gospel of Jesus Christ? The word gospel means “good news,” so the gospel of Christ is the good news of His coming to provide forgiveness of sins for all who will believe. Since the beginning of time when the first man sinned, mankind has been under the condemnation of God. Because everyone breaks God’s perfect law by committing sin, everyone is guilty. The punishment for the crime of sin is physical death and then an eternity spent in a place of eternal punishment . This eternal separation from God is also called the “second death”. The fact that all are guilty of sin and condemned to spend eternity in a place of torment is very bad news. But God, because of His love for the world, has made a way for man to be forgiven for their sins. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take the sins of man on Himself through death on a cross. In placing our sin on Christ, God ensured that all who will believe in the name of Jesus will be forgiven. This is the gospel of Jesus Christ, the good news that God provided the way for man to be freed from the penalty of sin. But not all people will be saved from hell; only those who place their faith in Jesus will go to heaven when they die. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the best news anyone will ever hear, and what a person does with this news will determine where he or she spends eternity. God is calling you to choose life. Call on the name of the Lord and be saved!

[@radler13]

Great review, I own a 2012 Mk 6 that's tuned by APR (Audi Performance and Racing) to Stage 2+ which produces about 370 hp. Previous to this I had a Mk 6 GTI that was also tuned with the K04 turbo which is the one that comes in the R. It was quicker than my R since it's much lighter due to it's FWD system rather than AWD that is standard in the R. It also had the DSG transmission and I had it modded so that there was very little slippage on a launch. My R is manual transmission which is a little funner to drive, but no where near as fast as the lightning quick gear changes with the DSG (I also had the TCU tuned through APR). Unfortunately my GTI was totaled when I fell asleep at the wheel while on my way home from my first track day. To anyone that decides to take your car to the track for the fist time, make sure you don't have a 2 hour drive afterwards. Your adrenaline and sweat is pumping all day and when you stop, you crash hard and so does your car. I'm lucky I didn't die OR kill someone. Get a room at a local hotel! Anyway, l loved both cars equally since they both have different advantages. The GTI is a better bang for the bucks car, but in the winter while living in a snowy area, the R's AWD gives you a lot of fun and confidence. However, nothing beats a sleeper like a modded out GTI for highway competitions. Seeing the reaction on the drivers face after beating his more expensive sports car or muscle, is priceless!

Honest quote, it's more nimble, agile, better power to weight ratio and 15 grand cheaper than a RS3 and a supple ride unlike line suspension which is too hard. Golf over the Audi any day :)

Yeah the RS3 does ride quite hard, this had similar ride to my S3 mind, the R is definitely the drivers choice but for other things like tech, interior quality and engine sound the Audi's are superior.

Brilliant video as usual. We get to hear all the bits we need without the fluff. I'd rather it be that (not sure about how others feel) you keep the factual stuff out as any kid in any street could tell those (well the basic ones anyway). Curious: Any chance you can get hold of a Cupra? And compare against the Golf R or S3? (The driving feel ofc). Thanks ! Ramadan Mubarak.

[@TRHamza]

Thanks pal, yeah thats why i tend to avoid just reading facts off a sheet as anyone can do it, but its good to get an idea of what people want, Ill just carry on as normal with the real driving impressions and what you want to hear 👍🏼 And yes I am able to get hold of a Cupra, will do something eventually Im sure of it, especially after driving this R I am a bit more curious myself. And thanks Ramadan Mubarak to you too.

Its good in the bends because its got a clever front dif

[@johna8999]

Good video mate. I remember reading a big hot hatch shootout in TG magazine a few years ago and this car was considered the best all rounder. I like these cars for their handling but for looks and interior the Audi A3 is king of the hot hatches.

[@TRHamza]

Thanks mate, yeah it is a very competent drivers car, really grips very well. The Audi does have a better interior and also sounds better.

[@garysandhu5082]

It truly is a shame that the North American golf R doesn't get the panoramic sunroof or power folding mirrors. And finally we also can't get the akrapovic exhaust which is an option in Europe. Great video and keep up the good work. Can't wait for you to test the new Honda Civic type R.

[@trabali5168]

not even as an optional extra?

[@garysandhu5082]

Not even as an option. Apparently the sunroof option did not pass crash testing here. Not only that they locked the centre console storage so it can't be used. However some people have unlocked it but the ratcheting feature doesn't work then.

[@trabali5168]

wow they might aswell lock the glove box! you have strict laws on safety surprisingly, considering your convict past!!!

[@jrushen4235]

I think the not having the sunroof option is nothing to do with crash testing but to do with the size of the wheels and emissions...

[@Caymanec]

there is no sense to pick akrapovic as an option, for 3000 euro you can install much better exhaust.

[@thefingerofgod69]

While I can't afford one (yet at least), I am jealous of the fact that you guys in Europe get to have a sunroof. I also would get one in black if I could.

[@TRHamza]

It is strange you guys don't get a sunroof, such a simple thing too.

[@adammillington5053]

really enjoy your videos. subbed. Top Gear should be calling you.

i bought my golf R in 2014 May in australia i test drove both an S3 and Golf R back to back and found the R was lot better value for money and felt faster pulling at low range. Mine came with the leather seat and sunroof and adaptive suspension and adaptive cruze control. i have had the car just over three years now and still love it just as much as day one. its a great drivers car. The only thing i preferred on the S3 was the red brake calipers look better and the seats look better. everything else was better on the R. I could of chosen either car but the $10,000 au dollars extra was not worth it.

[@markcrane2377]

Liked your review I have a mk7 in gray with all the bits apart from sun roof & in estate version. Possibly one of the best hot estate cars you can bye for the money, would like to see you review the estate!!

[@longbowdt]

Nice review, and now I want to go out and buy one. Maybe I'll wait until you test the refreshed '18.

[@TRHamza]

Thanks dude, definitely a good purchase. Ive done a brief video on the '18 on my channel but haven't driven it yet, will do very soon 👍🏼

[@longbowdt]

I have the Mk6-R now. Great car, but the mk7 is a clear step forward. I'll be interested to know what you think of the '18 mk7.

[@paulsavage100]

Golf R is my choice of hot hatches looks awsome, Great car with high spec, great review as allways 👍

[@TheInspectorate1]

Would never have thought the R competed so hard against the 3.

[@peterbennpan7288]

What width tires are on your S3 because im sure on these golf r upgraded alloys thats on this car your driving the tires are 235 width and the standard 5 spoke wheels you get with a golf r are 225 width. Correct me if im wrong but im sure im right. Theres a guy down the street with a S3 simular wheels to your S3 might be the same and his tires are 225 width. The wider tires on the golf r upgraded alloys would give alittle bit more grip in corners wouldnt they?

[@TRHamza]

Yeah mine are 225, I do believe the tyre/wheel setup on this did help with feel as it had Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's on it whereas my S3 has factory Bridgestones which are pretty average. Gonna change eventually, but the suspension setup on the R is something that I doubt I could replicate.

[@rockyokekaraoke7116]

Hamza the Golf R doesnt have Magnetic Suspension so its more track orientated. The S3 is a better ride but softer. :)

[@bridgedown1]

great vid,car sounds epic for a four potter,always a good idea to stick to a road you know for your tests,you can tell straight away the differences between cars ................
