Ever since I bought my MK7.5 Golf R, I've been inundated with questions asking what the differences are between the MK7.5 & MK7. Please note that, like I mentioned in the video, this video only contains the main differences. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the video and find it informative! :-)

Prefer the 7.5 interior but have to say prefer the aesthetics of the 7. There's one main reason for that. You can buy a cooking version Golf and spec an 'R-Design' kit for it. The R-Design bumpers look almost identical to the R. So many times I've mistaken, at a distance, a basic Golf 7.5 with an R-Design kit for an actual R. It's demeaned the proper MK7.5 R.

Must say as a 2014 Mk7 R owner I found this video very interesting. One thing to add to the changes between the cars is the location of the ACC sensor. On the Mk7 it is located in the plastic panel below the grill, on the 7.5 it is hidden behind the VW badge on the bonnet. Personally speaking the styling of the 7.5 is just that bit sharper than its predecessor and the digital dash is most impressive.

I was literally screaming this at the screen as I watched. If the window fogs up as I'm driving along, I DO NOT want to have to take my eyes off the road to try and move my finger to a touch button, press it and then take my eyes off the road again to see if a little light came on to show it worked. With a physical button, if you know where it is you can find it without taking your eyes off the road and then press it - knowing that it worked because you felt it move. Touch screen is fine, but only for complex functions that are rarely done, like programming satnav or changing car settings.

If you buy a MK7 Golf R with over 40K on the clock please make sure the DSG box has had it's oil and filter changed. Same for the Haldex system. This can prevent big problems and big bills. I have a MK7 DSG R and it is the fastest most comfortable best balanced and reliable car I have ever had. In six years of ownership, repair wise it has had a new water pump seal and a new speed sensor on one of the wheels. Love the thing, and it can relax you totally one minute and blow your mind the next.

been looking at buying a golf r but I would like one with the Akrapovic exhaust if poss, but there so hard to find, does anyone know of any websites or places to find them??

Great video, we have matching cars! One question, why is your car without push button and electric seats? In Canada, we get full electric seats and push button/keyless entry as standard. Is that a characteristic of UK Golf R’s? Or is it just the spec of your car? Cheers

Is there a way to get that facelift front bumper look on a pre-7.5 golf R without changing out the whole bumper? Trying to save myself 10g on a used R.. XD

I'm sure you can retrofit the bumper as they share the same underpinnings

I drive a 7.5 R myself, another thing thats different that i very much like is that it has Wireless Qi-Charging standart with the bigger radios. So i can just drop my phone in front of the shifter and it will regain energy.
