I’m looking for the facelifted MK8.5 R to film a video. If anyone has contacts with/ or you are a dealership. Feel free to reach out to me. Location Belgium/Netherlands/ Germany(Rhur area).
THANK YOU for your great demonstration. I just picked up my 2024 Golf R, and needed a video to get familiar with the driver assist system system as this is my first vehicle with such features. I'll be trying the launch control when the engine breaks in.
I find putting it into nurburgring mode, you get more and louder pops and bangs. Especially when letting off around 4 - 4.5 rpm. Had mine for almost a year and wasn't aware of the automatic lane change feature! Cool!
Great tips! Just picked up a '24 a few weeks ago and love it. I really regretted selling my MK6 GTI and couldn't be happier getting back into a Golf. I just wish VW gave us those tail lights here in Canada!
The Golf 8 R is not perfect but the looks and performance are really awesome. The best daily driver and sportcar since my other favourite Golf, the R32.
topspeed runs moet ge 's nachts doen nooit overdag tenzij ge u remmen snel wilt laten slijten. De beste autobahn die ik ken voor vmax runs zonder veel verkeer zelfs overdag is de A60 tussen prüm en wittlich.
@@Kugelfisch_-mn7st i mean our speed limit in Russia is only 100km an hour! Before we didnt care and drove like we wanted but last 15 years everywhere cameras so... useless cars for us.
Seems like performance pack is unavailable since some time. I ordered Golf 8R a month ago and have realized that I won't have the drift mode as well :( a bit bummed and haven't really found in the internet whether u can enable it or not somehow
@@szafrankk i had the same when i went to a volkswagen dealer. Thats why i chose a car they had in stock. I dont know the reason but i suspect its got to do with the new 8,5 coming up
It was definitely close. Also lucky i was not pushing the car at that moment. I did not because i read the traffic, it was quite busy and was looking out for exactly this to happen. To give the red t-roc some slack. It was busy, trucks in second lane. Normal he moves to third. No hard feelings 👍🏻
Yes apparently it is. If you look closely at the R logo projector light on the passenger side of the car (you even stopped there for a while around 1:42) the letter has a big white spot of light in the middle. The same thing happen with Cupra Formentor VZ (310 hp) and it’s a known issue. They repair the light projectors under warranty.
@@deniz-auto well that’s what I pointed out above, the light projector seems to be broken. I drive a Formentor VZ5 that has the logo light as well but a different one than the VZ (VZ5 symbol instead of Cupra logo), and have had no issues so far (around 15k km right now). If your car is still under warranty go to your dealer. They should fix this.
@@LordLookas yes but when i filmed it it wasnt like this. So it literally must have happened in the last days. Car got 28000km now. Ill call the dealer. Thanks man
Yeah i filmed it with a gopro inside the car. It went into winds noise reduction mode and you couldn’t hear anything anymore. You should watch my newest video, i put a gopro on the outside and it has a pure crazy exhaust sound. With loads of pops 👍🏻
Well sport mode is not useful at all. It should just let you decide for yourself what you want as the default mode. I’m pretty sure 90 percent of all golf R owners never use sport mode. But either R mode or comfort.
I would say this Golf R has an outstanding virtue and two deadful defects. The virtue being its gusty and powerful engine. The defects comprise a lack of a manual gearbox option and the horrendous abundance of digital screens that will age horribly as fads and tech move on to something completely different in not that many years.
Don't you worry too much.. Fossil cars will be illegal to drive in public roads in less than 10 years from now.. It will age in the scrap yards and perhaps museums..
@@andersnielsen6044 you are wrong. It will be illegal to sell petrol and diesel cars but people will be allowed to drive those cars, that has already been made clear in numerous EU parliament debates. No major political party is against the use of pre existing petrol and diesel cars. Also, the way things are going with electric cars, that date will ill have to be scraped as the vast majority of people aren't buying electric cars.
@@johnz4860 You are one hell of a naive human being :D There is other ways to put fossil cars into the scrap yard.. Taxes, road taxes and tax on fossil fuel, that is already happening in several EU-countries. I said 10 years - it might not even be 5 years from now..
@@johnz4860 Further more as the demand for fuel will go down - drastically, it will be almost impossible to find a gas-station in Europe in just a very few years. Same story about spareparts for the fossil engine, no reason for all the suppliers in China and all over the world - to continue to produce parts to a market that does not exist, the prices will sky rocket as well..
@@andersnielsen6044 well, I reckon the vast majority of people aren't buying electric cars for a number of reason, namely, they take a million years to fully charge, they are useless in very cold weather ( as seen recently in Chicago where quite a few Teslas were stranded in the snow unable to start their engines), they are still pricier than equivalent petrol cars. Petrol and diesel remain popular. Citroen has included a New diesel engines in their Berlingo range, in 2024!!!! Finally, do some research and you find that geologists and economists agree that the amounts of lithium there is in the entire world is nowhere near enough for the entire world population to have electric cars! Now, how native does that meke me?
Of course, every here and there is an idiot on the free highway over passing at 121 km/h a lorry, and took 10min to go back to her/his line .... With lot's of horn and lights to remind them move....
@deniznarli6004 Cars in Belgium are way cheaper, like food, fuel, rent, insurance...etc Lots of things there are better, like infrastructure, healthcare, doctors are real doctors with MDs, not like fake Arts in NL who don't even have MDs. Also, Belgians are more down to earth people. Gangsters won't allow you to take a breathe without paying for it. Makes you wonder why Dutch voted for Wilders! In NL if you are educated, honest and hard working person, you can't make it, but you'll have a great life if you are a criminal.
@deniznarli6004 Yeah, cars are way cheaper in Belgium. Everything else is cheaper like fuel, food, rent, house, cars. Almost everything is better in Belgium. A gangster state where you can't make it if you're an honest, educated, hard working person.
@deniznarli6004 Trust me, better. You won't know what kind of place NL is until you live here. That makes you wonder why Dutch voted for Wilders. Nl looks nice and clean, but they make you pay with your blood and pain to keep it that way.
@@deniz-auto If there is budget for an M3 why even start with a Golf R to begin with... Or do you lease/rent these cars in some kind of promotional contract?
@@ZenzDeluxe When i bought the R last year in May I was in no palce top buy an M3. Due to some changes in my professional life now i am. Absolutely loved the R and was already somwhat of a dream car for me. I am 24 from a working class family.All the cars are bought from my own pocket.
