I spend a week with VW's brand new Golf GTI Clubsport, cheaper than the Golf R, but is it a better package?

Great work mate! I'd still like this video even if you didn't like the car but I'm glad you do. This video really gets over the magic of the Clubsport especially in comparison to the still very good R which has been hogging the headlines because of its amazing performance on the drag strip. 0-60 in nearly 5 secs was a nice suprise too! The 2 on track would be very interesting indeed, can't wait 🙌

I used to think that the new golf was a bit off, but since seeing the new M3 and M4 I seriously think that this thing is now really good looking.

Great vid, Joe! Demoing a Clubsport next week with a view to replacing my Mk 7.5R with it. I’m also considering the Mk8 R but I like the fact it’ll sit under the £40k even with options and feel it might be more fun to drive. I also prefer the appearance especially the interior trim. Brilliant car!

@aleksandrshik9208 3 года назад

the only thing I'm thinking is when people will start tuning them with 100+ hp from stock, R will put all the power to the road where I think GTI would struggle with that much power only with front wheel drive.

@markbrisec3972 2 года назад

I'm amazed every time a watch some car review, with the amount of car channels on the YT. And they all seem to survive. Whether they have 100 k subscribers or 2 million. All of them get these new cool cars to drive, they all make a decent living out of it.. I can't understand that there's a market for all of them and that manufacturers are willing to give their press cars left and right to whoever asks.

@@JoeAchilles1 It didn't get off to the best start after the dealer had left the transportation chocks attached to the front suspension during PDI. After a somewhat 'firm' 110 miles, it's now resolved and I'm enjoying every moment, only 800 more miles to go until it's run in. I have to say that the CS looks far better in real life than it does in any videos or images.

Have 1 a few months now and was initially pissed with the infotainment system but have gotten well used to it , ride is well stiffer than the normal Gti.

@warrenkinnear8177 3 года назад

I enjoy your reviews, the honestly and advice for us to spend our money. The VW group interior quality is worrying, they seem to be coming off a high in the previous gen and the number of technical issues with that infotainment is even more worrying. If you are going to be annoyed daily, that will make you leave the brand.

@emiliospowerballer1441 2 года назад

I currently own a Golf 8 1.5L 150PS and I am looking to buy the Clubsport part exchanging it with my own. One key matter needs to be mentioned. The 7 speed DSG changes at the rpm it wants to, even in Sport Mode, unfortunately. However, if you figure out when the gearbox changes gear, you can press the paddle and shift almost simultaneously. Even with the Golf R, the same problem persists. But its completely normal because the computer knows better than you. Great review

@VR6Boki 3 года назад

You always mention does car shift up automatically in manual mode, but what I want to know too, will car automatically downshift, for example, if you are at low speed in 4th gear and you do press full throttle, will it go in second if that is best option or stay in 4th. That was also irritating for me in some cars with automatic gearbox and so called "manual option".
