Great video, really informative. I have a 2019 Special Edition, limited to 400 units (it's an Australia-specific model). It came with Akrapovic exhaust, 340mm brakes, Pretoria alloys, and Dynaudio stereo; abut $10k worth of options. What a car. I looked at others like the Focus RS and the i30N, but they were both a bit boy racer for me; I'm 55 so I prefer my fast cars to be a bit more 'sleeper'.
although they endid their production, does it mean that trying to buy them will be difficult cuz theyre not really in stock or smth? i was planning on buying one in 2years what do you think?
Just wondering i have a hesitation issue with my golf R (feels like its in limp mode) when slowing down approaching a roundabout then put my foot down to pull away quickly it sometimes just bogs down...i also had this issue with my polo gti. It's very scary when not expecting it...obviously don't happen all the time, but to be similar in both vw performance cars is disappointing.
I don't agree. Try getting a GTI without LSD to launch in the wet, even without a stage 1 tune. And of course, remapping an R with a stage 1 tune will give you the kind of performance to scare 911 Turbo drivers. I'd like to see anyone do that in a GTI.

Primary ride is affected by larger bumps and disturbances on the road and challenges how well the chassis deals with them, secondary is the smaller vibration and harshness that may be noted either in addition to inadequacies in the primary ride or will stand out prominently if a vehicle has a great primary ride but poor secondary and is more to do with small vibrations. In measuring them the primary ride would be about 3hz, whereas secondary upto 25hz. Both affect the confidence in a vehicle chassis and achieving it on a car that has a shell used for everything from a small capacity diesel to an all wheel drive hot hatchback is challenging 👍

That was a really thorough deep dive on typical problems for the 7/7.5 R range - some great research there, much appreciated 👍
Thanks we really appreciate comments like this 😁
Just bought a mk7.5 gti 18 plate love it
Excellent, excellent, excellent. From videography (except for 720p 😢) to part numbers. Sub earned.
Great to earn another sub 😁 we'll keep working on the source file quality 👍
Wish we got 2 door golf r here in USA
No more in Europe either with the MK8, a real shame 👍
Awesome Video - Thank you! Earned the Sub!
Comments like this really mean a lot to us, thank you 👍

Damn so here in America the 7.5 started in 2018?

We’re there options for the golf r 7/7.5

Stage1 gti is a better buy unless you live in a snow country

@@themancuniancandidate2744 your not even in the same world as a 911 with stage3
@@themancuniancandidate2744 and who launches in the rain? My car has good tires and it takes off fine when it rains

wtf is 'primary' and 'secondary' 'ride'?
Primary ride is affected by larger bumps and disturbances on the road and challenges how well the chassis deals with them, secondary is the smaller vibration and harshness that may be noted either in addition to inadequacies in the primary ride or will stand out prominently if a vehicle has a great primary ride but poor secondary and is more to do with small vibrations.
