2018 Volkswagen Golf R real-world review

Welcome to Harry's new garage. Today's car is the Volkswagen Golf R, this ultimate version of the go with four-wheel drive, 310 horsepower and one of those cars that actually looks like it captured the moment. I know quite a few friends who bought this car and they like the way it drives before, like it was under a coat to keep the secret, if I showed mom this car she wouldn't understand that it's the crazy racing version of the Gulf with a Focus RS and not with the Civic type-r. that big winged Honda monster, but it's a serious piece of equipment, its speed limit is 155 miles per hour, 5 second to 60 route, so what's this car all about?

Let's take a closer look, so how can we tell if it's the R version? Well, it's pretty obvious because it's I have the bracelets on the front, the Golf GTI has a red flash, it has a kind of black line over the bumpers, not as distinctive, like on the grill and then on the side, this car on particular is equipped with optional 19-inch wheels and option from 990 pounds to 3 535 19, pretty serious tires, 5 doors have SE and then in the rear it is very distinctive because, instead of having twin parts, you have quad pipes in your R version and this particular version has its garbage.

It's a special option, it runs out a 3975 pound option and the safety is 7 kilos, which I'm sure you'll notice when the target warnings are kind of a noise that we'll get to later. We will also include the latest version, you have LED headlights. and you see it in the corners, a different look through the light again, that the GTI is a red flash missing on the arm, so it's a little embarrassing, and you also get black calipers with an R, you can if you mark the correct boxes when all together you get a performance package but you have to have a DSG version and then you get a performance package which includes a larger rest and a silver caliper, as I understand it comes from the club.

The sports version that was just before this vehicle, the two-wheel drive or the two-seat Crazy Golf, which was a limited edition, this horse car also has blacked-out windows in the rear, special black mirror caps, usually They are smoked chrome, so yes. a bit plain on the outside, should we say business as usual, oh yes, this particular version of ours comes with the same four-cylinder engine as the Golf GTI, but whipped up, see the turbo sitting at the back of the TSI, By the way, it means direct stratified turbo injection. injection, that's how they get the horsepower out of this engine, quite a bit of horsepower, 310 elsewhere from a 2 liter version, not much to see, just take a quick look at the rear, quite a nice feature from the rear is that the VW logo becomes the handle.

To open the boot there is only a normal space and also quite noisy, so you get a space saving in this car, which is always good to see. Let's get him out of the drive first thing in the morning. In this car, you don't have a key, so press a. button to start the keys beep Bob is in my pocket and then with this version of

golf

7.5 you like it, it has terms brand 7,

golf

has to update 2 for 2017, yes you get these new LCD screens: design in the corner of extra equipment, nice center screen, this there is actually an optional additional gesture control etc, just some nonsense, there's another 1,300 pounds, this is a standard configuration, see if I turn the fan down a little, we have a very busy steering wheel , I have to say that I have even had this car for a week. and I haven't worked out all the buttons yet, it seems to mix some kind of cruise control here, but it also has volume for the stereo and here I changed channels and went up and down.

I find these rather confusing wheels nice. to hold a very high quality lever so it's a nice vibe but you'd expect golf to be like that so you know they've had decades to perfect it and this is quite nice it's unusual it just feels unusual to have a manual on this car. DSG is a £1200 option with 7 speeds. I think I might be tempted to have it, although this manual doesn't delight me either. The action of the watch is an absolute delight. Anyway, I'll let the car warm up and then we'll go see some of my favorites.

You probably know the Rose bits well too, so I'll join you later. There are also quite a few extras on this car. I expect to run up to, say, a start of thirty-three thousand five hundred for this car, wheels nine hundred and ninety pounds, another. The must-have option if you're expecting one of these is the DCC Dynamic Chassis Control because it allows you to adjust the dampers and I have it if I press the button. No, I have it in normal mode, there is racing and there is comfort for individual runners. As iko iko reduces boost, comfort does what it says, it's the softest shock setting.

I have to say that the ride in this car is pretty good for the type of weapon it handles, so it's impressive to be able to have your individual control if you want. they have softer shock absorbers, but the race engine response steering, the electric steering in this car or the exhaust sound, everything is configurable, so that's what comes with DCC, it has a must have option, so we have, but keyless, which generates 300 pounds of air on blue Vipers. it's the color, about 600 pounds, but add it all up and this car is finished in a dirt color, it weighs a little over 40, a little over 44,000 pounds, which is cool, laughs.

I think this car. I know a friend of mine who went

real

ly crazy with the options list. and he got almost £50,000, his goal is to make a lot of money for the type of car it is, but of course, it's a very easy car to drive, so if you're going to live with it and you know who you are. using as a spare whoever makes all kinds of cars, consider it as a kind of Junior rs4 rs6, that kind of calories are even available when a cigar with status was quite noticeable, it's actually this chassis dynamics and and, well, you're going to buy one hour more than GTI.

I think it's that four-wheel drive that's the key, as well as the performance of the editor. You've been able to implement that all-wheel drive or explain its full motion, which means that the races I've done here were sort of two-wheel drive and you slide in the front, whereas then you could fire power to the rear wheel, like this It's like it works in a short time and you can navigate a hair in this car because it has a kind of stop, it's quite sensible that you can be in the 30 years, the Galco happy, thirty, which is

real

ly incredible, but that's modern technology for a direct expulsion.

The other really good thing about this will come in handy, they've been thrown in now it's here, it's great that you can use all the gears, right? It says it uses all the revs, the top speed is higher made in sinks that maximize Rams, amazing car, this dolphin even saw the z-boys, it catches people's attention when you go down the road like that, right? Let's play with some of the settings. I'm going to go to mode again. I don't put individual, but present, hey, Michael, chains, what I'm going to add, this is the sound of the engine, what the racing engine sounds like in normal time, it's not that bad in the south.

I like the way it was done, okay? They told me it is a generated sound. I'll do it, but it's a good generator sound. I'm not complaining at all. I think they really backed it up well. So I like the fact that I can activate it that way. An individual does not work. on the lift run before you hear that sound, it's an induction sound, as well as the other pubs and banks surprise, that's not what the blocks used to do, but there are sandbags pop in the advance, this girl is and is the very well sorted way the dynamics of your car is rosy, that means I have enough, it will travel with opposite bags, not really, it's probably almost that's what I get from the dolphin, just to have this very impressive dynamics , so offer me, let me execute this goal for her, one of the positives of the negative, well, there are more positives than Pegasus is happy to say, but some of the negatives, this must be the ultimate goal, the goal, cultivate and look outward.

I look here and there is not a signature from God at all. That's all they need to put in a little effort there. I think with this ultimate version of God it's like the Golf GTI is so fresh and red and you know where you are. Golf GTI revoir, there's a darker flash on the front but it just gets lost, think about and VFW they all have that three color flash they're kind of that kind of detail here I have a noir on the steering wheel I have an R down here on the children but my only ball of our I am paying that kind of premium I have the ultimate goal.

I want more on the design side and then the other thing on the interior. If you load up the options and start knocking on the door with £50,000, it's great golf, Ian, here at that level. it's beautifully made but they don't have that premium feel when you get that price, your starter won't really do well in a golf drill, sorry porsche macan or aris the hi rs3 or something maybe it has more sense than this car and the weight this car weighs 15 or 50 kilos or they have approximately 12 TTI, or drive 1386 Keener with 130 kilos of weight in an R than in a GTI.

I'm surprised that box is absolutely fine, it has all-wheel drive, but it's a penis. a fairly simple transmission from the rear of the gearbox to the rear differential etc. Porsche or the 911 can do that for about 60 kilos or so. Why does it weigh less than 30 kilos? A minor point, but it is dense. Obviously fuel consumption, acceleration, etc., what else is there? It's really not a huge amount, I think going back to the positive and there's an unflappable, dangerous, throw him to the ground, he saw the way and he takes care of you. It doesn't have any vices that I can discover, just do it, so Clio 182 cocking a wheel. of control, it is absolutely a feast, the good suspension travel will make you feel heroic in this car and its adequate performance shows that even Herb thought that six dives are not 62 miles of airtime 5.1 in the manual he has been considering , could you know? if they had a second gear that could extend beyond 62 miles per hour then it would be a four point so in the second car that's a very quick or dry drop and then this visibility because it's a golf really like that other things They are a golf, everything works wonderfully. controls practice lightly and well seats recline very supportive look a little boring again look a little plain guy great posture support very comfortable one like the way the fabric is a little bit Alcantara the size had that little bit of grip that works well and their entertainment and the way they do it, I have boot caliber and artists, Jean, yes there is a listen, it is very well made, control agencies piece, it is just an easy car to live with , computing, this is enough to use daily because it is a golf, it is very easy, pleasant. noise too, it's that noise again.

I think they've judged that very well, other things if you don't take the options into account, but some very good finance deals from VW for this car it's an aggressive piece worth checking out if I'm going to buy one of these cars but what I think in conclusion, come on, it's great if the question you've been asking yourself is do you need four wheel drive because there is a Golf GTI city in the £3,000 cheaper and slightly lighter range. a little more agile, yes, it's 60 horsepower short, but it's still plenty quick in its current form 243 245 horsepower lighter, cheaper, all designed to be firm.

Golf GTI has that Attar version if you want, in the reigning flash, there is something that says GTI, submit or dare. I use the word iconic so that's my only hesitation on this go away but we need four wheel drive but he applied this cloak of invisibility so the go away is a fantastic car and I know you're going to enjoy it immensely . Realize, I just filmed around these bits, there you have it. I hope you enjoyed this video. Keep watching, keep subscribing, there will be more videos with you.
