[@W3st1337]

Is er uberhoud een verschil in het interieur of dergelijke tussen de 2014 versie of de 2016 versie? bv lichtstrip aan de deur?

[@LiquidRelief]

I am new to the carmarket, and now drive a 2001 Polo 6n. I wanna step up my game. I'm looking for something more sporty, but it should fit for long drives (work related 800 km +) and besides that it should be fuel efficient. Is this something I could find in a golf r? Or should I look to a GTI or Blue motion?

[@majdzahalka7989]

I love the sound of the engine crom the inside !!!! Amazing

[@talonfast25]

Is it a big improvement over the last generation R? I'm considering buying one, I have a 2013 Golf R.

[@tshepisosello418]

I'm always seeing this one Golf R passing by with a trailer loaded with lawnmowers and broomsticks... now if I let my imagination run wild, I'll start thinking maybe its the garden service who prefer getting around in a sporty hatch, instead of a pick-up!

[@TheMightyRider]

Ik woon zelf in Antwerpen. Die Golf kwam van het contact center van VW en dat is daar in de buurt van Wilsele, Herent,...

[@lapjepap]

leuke zetels in de golf r!

[@murattopcuu]

what is your thoughts? i seriously consider buying one. is it fun to drive or little bit dull? right now i am driving bmw z5 3.5is and totally hate my car (don't curse on me youtube) it doesn't fit my needs and it has a terrible e-diff. So you think is it worth to replace with one of these ?

[@JohanDeHaes]

Murat Topçu i think the Golf R is a seriously good car. It's fun to drive, has enough power and hp, great sound and is still very practical - it's a Golf! :) - and affordable. Plus it has fourwheel drive. I don't know how it compares to a z5. Isn't the z5 a car that isn't released yet or am i missing something?

[@murattopcuu]

Johan De Haes i wrote wrong man lol z4.

[@rakeshmeena1978]

Dear Sir, I Have bought my Volkswagen Polo on August last week, 2017. Before 10 days i had hit a speed breaker and next day i noticed my oil tank was leaking and was surprised to see that there were no notification as when i checked the oil it was over and the car engine would have seized. Thankfully insurance covered most of the expense except the engine oil. But some of my friends whom i know also own polo has the same Oil chamber breakage problem as in once case engine got seized and has to pay over 4,00,000 for the same. i have even done some research on internet and i have seen that most people face the same oil chamber problem with polo which i have faced. Now i think i have made the biggest mistake by buying a German car which has very low ground clearance which hits the speed breaker even when driven slow. I think the components used in India is of very low quality as i am surprised to see a company like Volkswagen having issues like these. I really want to know the Volkswagen India's take on this as i feel cheated already as it is a premium hatchback. Thanks, Rakesh

I'm from Belgium. A Golf R costs 39.000 euro

[@Ziolowo]

is this a sound from speakers?

[@milinddixit6583]

Yep - VW add a Soundaktor to the GTI and R. I'm not sure if it uses the speakers or if it just sends engine vibrations through the windscreen. Either way it's artificial. Though it doesn't sound that much different with the soundaktor removed.

[@abenhafri]

[@michelleadams9806]

[@michelleadams9806]

Stephen N ⌐╦╦═─

[@bluex217]

But why are people's perceptions of a hatchback that they can't be sporty enough for quad exhaust? I think it works well and don't think it's overkill. Although, the centered exhaust on my dad's R32 is badass and screams "sporty", but so does quad exhaust. Why is one sporty style good for a hatch and not another

Hij is echt fucking mooi gast en weten jullie miss wat er in de toekomst komt van vw r400 ofzo? Maar echt bedankt voorhet filmpje

[@JohanDeHaes]

***** die zou er wel komen, maar is nog niet officieel bevestigd.

[@appelpower1]

Er komt wel binnenkort een Audi RS3 met 360 pk.

[@shonygozer94]

jaaa ok maar audi gebruikt de chasi van vw en maakt zelf een body en eerlijk gezegd goeie motoren. Ik ben geen audi fan want audi lijk altijd het zelfde en de a3 lijkt al jaren hetzelfde terwijl hij echt verbeterd is de laatste jaren . Maar audi is zeker een goeie auto daar nie van .

[@shonygozer94]

Johan De Haes wat zou u aanraden eigenlijk voor een beginners auto Golf MK7 of AUDI A3 sportback?

[@appelpower1]

***** Klopt. Een A3 is gewoon een iets mooiere en veel duurdere Golf met een prestigieuze logo op de grille. Maar, terwijl de Golf R400 nog niet eens bevestigd is, is de RS3 al bijna uit. Dat is waarom ik de RS3 noemde. Oh, en wat die beginnersauto betreft; ze zijn eigenlijk hetzelfde. De Golf is veel goedkoper, hoewel de Audi iets beter schijnt te rijden. Al vraag ik me af hoe je dat überhaupt als beginnersauto kan betalen... Oh, en wat je ook doet, begin met een handbak. Anders vergeet je meteen weer hoe dat moet.

[@Sharcks41]

Same sound than the new Audi S1! Is the Golf 7 R better or the S1?

[@JohanDeHaes]

Sharcks41 what do you think?

[@Sharcks41]

Johan De Haes I think that the S1 is better haha. I want one

[@appelpower1]

Sharcks41 The Golf is faster and more powerful, but the S1 is smaller and lighter, and therefore more agile.

[@WiZe1972]

Sharcks41 I got the S1 (Actually, my wife got it :-)) and it's a beast, impressive little bomb! check out my channel for a couple of gopro videos...

Bedankt! Testrit was tof, wat een goede wagen!

[@Minutemadex]

Is het dan zo makkelijk om zomaar in een VW garage binne te lopen en een testrit te doen met hun top modellen? Zou zelf ook heel graag een testrit doen met een mk7 GTI maar dan voel ik me zo verplicht om de auto dan ook te kopen...

[@SuperDigitalMe]

Lol nee hoor, ben al voor de lol auto's gaan testen, de laatste was de m235i dus gewoon doen!

[@Minutemadex]

Is het niet schandalig om die mensen tijd in je te laten steken, op een testrit te gaan, de auto gebruiken, de naft verbruiken en dat terwjil je al weet dat je 99% kans de auto toch niet gaat kopen? :S dat houdt me wat tegen.

[@jordanl5064]

Why is this car so popular?

[@bosteve15]

Because german cars are the best.

[@davidwinstanley4996]

Compare it to r32 or vr6 where has the passion gone, miss the v6 sound

[@alexserrano2850]

David Winstanley 300hp sounds like passion. And pretty much anyone agrees that this version is miles better than any other.

[@davidwinstanley4996]

Disagree

[@bluex217]

My dad owns limited edition 2007 R32, # 300 something out of 3,000 or so made. LOVE that car, it sounds fantastic. But, to be honest, although its response is immediate off the line with AWD and all, from a roll it's a bit of a letdown stock. My MK6 APR stage 1 GTI pulls significantly harder than it, and the software remaps do basically nothing to the R32's version for performance. R32 and R aren't even the same platforms, honestly. R32 is basically an Audi A6 engine with 50 more horsepower, a 3.2 litre with 250 HP, naturally aspirated V6. Closer to a muscle-car's setup really but with AWD instead of rear. The newer R's are 2 litres of course and turbo-charged yet with more HP due to displacement, @ 292 in the states. The R32's also did not come with a manual transmission at least in the states. Just not even relatively close to being the same engines. You could obviously mod an R32 with a turbo or twin-turbo and achieve greatness but that's a LOT more money than a remap with an intake/downpipe..

[@akilla214u2c]

I didn't know Europeans were able to get their hands on an automatic. My time in Germany in 2012, an automatic was like finding a lottery ticket on the ground. It just doesn't happen.

[@jeremymeulenbroeks2016]

It depends a lot on the car, less powerfull cars such as a golf 2.0 TDI or a 1.6 tfsi will usually be manual, but the more powerfull cars such as Golf R, Audi S3, BMW 328i/335i will often be found in automatics.

[@akilla214u2c]

didn't know that... My time there could have been easier had I'd known that. But I'm happy, that I learned to drive a manual. My GTI 6 speed is very nice in the US. Could be better in Germany, but I'm working on my return.

[@loljk233]

jeesboxhardman Normally not against automatic, but in this case it's completely wrong. A small, light car with a powerful engine like this should definitely have a manual gearbox, no doubt.

[@ElHype714]

jeesboxhardman The automatic gearbox shifts much faster, resulting in better 0-60 times

[@RandomHondaGuy]

Well. Automatic are for wimps

Golf m7k R or Audi S4 3.0 supercharged with black optics package?!?!? I'm so torn!!!!…both would eventually have a stage 2 flash/exhaust and for the audi a pully upgrade…this true white people problems…jkjk, no but really...

[@MrGrime333]

audi rs4. Golf is a boys car, audi is a mans ;)

[@Hunter1Lane]

damn, meant to type S4, not RS4…big difference in both car and price…sorry

[@MrGrime333]

yeah i meant s4 lol

[@ThePeakVibe]

Trying to make the same decision as well haha but I'm leaning towards the s4 with the pulley upgrades. This is a bit of speculation but smaller engine pushing more boost i assume would put much more wear and tear on your engine. i have an stage2+ b7 manual a4 s-line and even with proper maintenance,oil changes every 3-5k miles the engines seems to be running rougher and rougher.

[@Hunter1Lane]

yeah, I am leaning towards the S4 as well, and plan on testing the new M235i…I currently have a mk4 337 with APR 93octane, tried a few times to get into an R32 but it never seemed to be a smart buy, especially now that they are holding their value, and you will spend 20k on something that will need a min of 5k of work very soon, like bushings, timming chanes, haldex service, you name it, and that 20k will be a pretty good down payment on a new car…So, its going to be tough because I wanted so bad for the mk7 6 to be 6cyl so bad (and a little better looking) and not another 2.0L turbo! no matter how much power, plus the seats in the mk7 R are so, so, so cheap looking, and I'm big on nice buket leather seats and the seats in the S4, amazing, and are what should be in the mk7 R (including the 3.0T) then you will have a real golf R, something that will stand apart from the all the GTI's, A3's, and S3's…Then this happens, I look at the price and the money saved btwn the the 2 cars, including the M235i, which the one tested on the chris harris video vs the mk7 R, is 55k (the S4's are also 50K!?, and correct me if I'm wrong) and the mk7 R with DSG is only 40k, and!! the golf R with stage 1 revo is just as fast as the S4 with the pulleys/stage 1 revo, so…I guess it will all be left up to a test drive…
