MK6 🆚 MK7 Golf R FULL Comparison Review | PROS & CONS 

Golf mk4 r32 and mk6 golf r are the best looking golf ever made

I love it!❤️ watched till the end. inspired!😎

Awesome vid , super detail man! 👌 love the mk7 / 7.5 but the mk6 is something special 😍

Your synopsis at the end is spot on. Like getting a newer version of a smart phone. In my case I came from a 2004 WRX to the MK7R so it was like going from a land line to the current tech of smart phones today.

the mk6 also has adjustable footwell lighting from the center cluster menu

Hard to let go of a good car!

Glad i just bought a MK6 R 2 Door last week. the only issue is DSG Auto instead of a Manual. but going Stage 1 ECU + Stage 2 TCU, Exhaust and that is about it for the mechanical changes.

At 4:20 are you saying ride height is adjustable using DCC? One recommendation I have when you use your foam cannon is to start from the top and work your way to the bottom (9.22). Finish one section and make sure you foam properly before moving onto the next panel. There are too many missed spots. Also, you should use the knob on the foam cannon to decrease the amount of water and increase the amount of soap so you apply a thicker layer of foam onto your car. This will help minimize scratches and swirl marks which are extremely visible on lapiz blue.

Never been in a MK7 Golf R but I like my MK6 a lot

in the uk the mk6 seems to be a rare car and the low mileage ones are going for more money than than the early mk7s already i know because ive been looking for the last 12 months and have yet to see one in the spec i want come up for sale, gotta be a black 3 door with dsg and decent mileage

Great video! you wouldn't happen to remember the brand or where you got those seat covers? I looked high and low but couldn't find them! I really like the look of them! I would greatly appreciate it! EDIT: I think I found them! The brand is EKRauto for $300. Does that sound about right?

I have a 2011 Mk6 Golf R with DSG. Leather Interior, Dynamic Chassis Control, 19” Talledega’s, RNS510 head unit which I’m about to change to a RCD410 AppleCarplay/AndroidAuto unit. Deciding if I’ll get a Stage 1 tune. Update : I now have 19” Mk7 R Cadiz Wheels with 235/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres (I had the same spec tyres on the Talledega’s), a Superpro 26mm adjustable rear sway bar, Superpro adjustable rear end links, a Hard Racing front strut bar, DBA T2 slotted rotors all round, DBA Street Performance front brake pads, ACE Ceramic rear pads, an ANTZ Cold Air Intake and an Underground Performance custom ECU/TCU tune. Now producing 262awhp. Head unit changed to RCD440 Pro.

the push to start was also offered in mk6 golf r as well

Sickkkkkk!!! Where did you cop those seat covers dude? What a snug fit 🥰

My 2009 EU mk6 has the driver side cubby funfact

Great video! My 6 R had the four doors, like your 7. Much easier for driver and passengers alike! Had to trade in my R a year ago due to bad knee. Miss it a lot. Loved the stock sound (disabled soundaktor). Liked the styling and ended up getting a Mk 6 Jetta Sportwagen for the extra length and DSG. Hoping to retro the front bumper, side skirts and headlights soon. May even get it wrapped in a Rising Blue, someday. Already added paddle shifters and thicker leather wrapped covering on the steering wheel. Will do some other interior and exterior to make it look like the 6 R. Wish the adaptive headlights weren't so expensive to retrofit. Ah well. Great look and comparison video! Happy driving!

I already got dsg in my golf 6r. But I don’t see a lot of 7r 3 doors. So I stay with my 6r

I like the mk6 tail lights tho. And i also hate automatic transmission so im gonna buy mk6 😃.

where did you get the interior lights strips on the mk7 from?

It's sad that VW decided to drop the 2-door offering for the Mk7. This goes for all cars of course but especially hot-hatches; the 2-door version just looks miles better than the elongated "crammed in there" look you get with 4 doors.

I love it !😎 buying mk7 Gti soon

Thank you 🙏

Great Video! Where did you get those seat covers and that spoiler?

I have a 2013 rising blue mk6R 4 door and am going through this exact condundrum. I know that I will miss the 6mt if I go to the dsg. And if i decide to stay with the 6mt then it really isnt worth the upgrade imo from manual golf to manual golf. Thinking about maybe opting for an s4/s5 but not sure. also kind of like the VW arteon i think they are pretty underrated, its like a baby audi a7. lots to think about lol. all in all i think if would want to go for a mk7.5R for the digital displays and led headlights etc. Also I would totally miss having a sunroof like I have in the mk6!!! i wish the newer gen had the options the euros did so bad lol. sorry for ranting lol

Volkswagen is so cool~ I've never been on, but interest goes.

When you showing the DRL on the 6 I see an orange strip inside your head lights, that is not stock right? And what springs did you use to lower the car? Love it in that blue

i see you’re in new york, do you know where your mk6 ended up? i currently have a mk6 gti 2dr, would love to pick up the R

Great video and very helpful! I notice almost all 6R's I've seen have a 6-button radio, but yours and one other I've seen has an 8-button radio more similar to the 7R. Is that an option, or a retrofit and if so, what is it? Thanks!

Was looking at getting another z32 tt, or mr2, but I've been dailying my mk4 vr6 gti for years and man... maybe a mk6 golf r is it 😳

also i believe the DGS 6 spd in the Mk 6 was more reliable then the Mk 7's 7 Spd DSG. from what i have been seeing around the place.

the mk7 is ugly as sin to me but has the superior engine. Mk6 will always be the best looking golf. There's also a ton of aftermarket support for performance.

Which is more comfortable?

How do you keep your leather in such good shape? Video pls

5:11 are those mk6 r headlights stock ? mines dont do that with the hazards, they look identical except for that

The mk6 R did come in a dsg option atleast in America but the manual is way better

Hey man can you tell me the brand and specs on the Exhaust system u used on the mk6? Also you recommend not going past stage 1 apr on the stock Clutch?

Link to the gray container you keep your detailing supplies in at 5:51?

The mk7 is a better car overall with new gen tsi paired with dsg is pretty quick, But I still love the mk6 body style

5:00 nice dress bro upside down gg

which one is better to buy?

The Performance boost Gauge in the radio Is not Accurate....... on the MK7 You need a boost tap and a Boost gauge.

mk6 looks better and is more rare

best video

Hope you've lost the tow hook since the video. Rest of the 7 is nice, as is the 6.

Why did the US get such crappy versions of the golf r. Even Australia got all the European features. Germany must still be holding a grudge from ww2 lmao

Nice video, but DSG reliable nahhhhhh.

But why rice it up? Blue lighting strips and blue flappy paddles. Geeez
