.............................................................
It's time for a VW Golf R vs Audi S3 group test!
As we all know, both the Golf R & S3 are part of VW Group, so as a result, they’re both very similar under the skin - and that's no more evident when you check out the engine stats! They’re both packing 2-litre 4 cylinder engines, although while the Audi can produce 310hp & 400Nm, the Golf R edges it with the ability to put down 320hp & 420Nm!
So on the face of it, you’d expect them to be pretty similar, but will that be the case once Mat gets his hands on them? Will the Golf's slight increase in power be noticeable once he's on track? And even if it is, would he rather find himself sat in the S3's cabin?
You'll have to stay tuned as he walks you through all the key details you need to know, from thoughts on the exterior design through to the boot capacity! Oh, and of course, make sure you stick around for the launch & brake tests!

@flaringstar7708
@flaringstar7708 Год назад
yknow, i'll be honest. having worked at both Audi and VW dealers, test driving both the S3 and Golf R... i gotta say the R was hands down the choice. i felt almost the exact opposite of what mat felt in the R. the material made it feel more rigid and not like it'll break on you or like you have to be gentle with it. it may look it, but it honestly feels better built, they know people are going to track them because that's what the R is for, it's the tip top golf trim, period. where the S3 is like "yeah it's got a better engine now, so it can keep up with the R but... we all know there's an RS3 or hell, a TTRS." every time i got into an a/s3, the interior felt so... mute. it felt downplayed and less like a luxury car than the upper tiers or even dare i say, the Golf R. the S3 feels like a GTI in a way, as it feels like its gonna be trying to do what it's siblings can, but it just can't. there's no real reason to pick an s3 over a golf R. it's still 60/40 front bias 4wd VW 4motion, not quattro, don't let the badges confuse you. that engine is transverse, not longitudinal. an a4 is actual quattro and you can feel the difference. heck even an RS3 isnt quattro. it's still AWD i guess but not to the same degree as quattro. the only thing i really DONT like about the R is the haptic buttons. WHY THE HAPTIC BUTTONS, CMON PLEASE GUYS NOT LIKE THIS. oh well, it's not a dealbreaker. the ambient lighting is fantastic in the R. the S3... less so. the infotainment systems i'll ignore cuz most people just use carplay or android auto anyway. steering wheel feels better and thicker on the R than the S... overall, there's really no question in my mind as to which i would pick.

People complain about the golf R or GTI not getting leather seats, but to me personally I preffer the cloth seats because they will not only last longer but feel alot more comfortable.

the Golf, especially R looks good as well, it really grew on me. Also faster and sounds better. But the S3 looks even better and has the way better interior!

Hatchbacks back in the day didn't really have turbos, they were as you'd expect them, small cars for affordable families. Now they are being kitted out with all sorts of tech and huge turbos wacked onto them (Some even as standard). As a sport option to those acceleration lovers who don't want big family cars, hatchbacks are becoming more powerful day by day. Its the same with small 1.0ltr cars, they are reducing them to 1.0ltr to save economy costs and just wacking turbos onto them.

Personally I prefer the golf r. I prefer the front face and the rear. I prefer the steering wheel also in terms of design not material. + the golf has nicer dials rather than a rev thing in the s3. Yes I know the the Audis interior is a step above in terms of quality and it’s the higher spec car. I just prefer the golf r/s overall looks. But that’s personal opinion! Both great cars 👍

The Golf R, for sure. Like you said, it may not be as aesthetically pleasing BUT the drive is what its all about. You clearly enjoyed the R alot more. I myself would really like to upgrade from my MK5 Golf GTDI to any R model, rather than an Audi S series.

I'm actually surprised at how much they've cheapened the MK8 Golf R. Both the 7 & 7.5 have full leather seats, nice interior materials and both still have the gas strut assisted hood. Good thing the drive makes up for the various short comings it has both inside and outside.
@joshstreet3919
@joshstreet3919 2 года назад
Leather was an option on the Mk7/7.5 and it’s still an option on the 8. However, when you add that you get electric, memory, heated and ventilated seats and not sure if you get a massage function too
@AB-nv7bz
@AB-nv7bz Год назад
Us spec cars come fully loaded with heated and vent leather seats. Only option is the transmission. Its a shade under $45k- which is 40k pounds, 46k euro. Yes the price cutting is sad. I would have paid $50k for a better quality interior. But with everything skyrocketing in price, its not a bad deal. Especially since the fixed the biggest issue with the r, understeer. Seen a lot of track reviews of these, and people are blown away. Drift mode doesn't really work (50/50 split still not enough, definately not focus rs), but people can feel the rear rotate out of a corner.
