🔥 loving it hamza
Mega mate, great to see a proper ambassador getting recognized! Awesome video 🎥
Legend 🙌🏼 Thank you Joe!
Just need too keep some impartiality and not be scared to criticise for fear of getting kicked off the ' gravy train '.......🙄🤭
Excited to see what youve been working on behind the scenes. Missed you Hamza!
Glad to have a hamza video to watch, been a while 👊
I had a factory ordered golf R in 2014, I sold it to move to Australia for the year! Now seeing these 8.5's ...makes me want another, they're fantastic looking imo
yeah this 8.5 gen is almost perfect tbh, cant wait until i can afford either the clubsport or the R
8:10 Dynaudio sound systems were seriously underrated. Might not have the same brand cache of Burmester or Harmon Kardon, but when it came to sound quality they were really in a league of their own. Theres a reason Dynaudio were picked for the sound system in the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron.
I loved it in my MK7 GTI. One of the best I’ve experienced in a small car. Even put it above the Bang and Olufsen in my current 8Y.
100% my mk7.5 golf r did not have it as standard so I got it retrofitted night and day difference and the bass was on another level
Yeah it's very good
This. I’m still chasing the sound I had in my mk6 GTI
Welcome back brother, great to see fresh content. Always loved your laidback style.
Thank you brother!
I really like those wheels. For whatever reason, the GTI wheels always look dope.
Definitely looks really good, but can't wait for the updates on the R36 and R32, lots of support from South Africa brother 💪🤝🤝🔥💥👌
Excellent review of the Golf GTI 8.5
R36 content would be great 😂😂
Working on it 🤣🙏🏼
he’s back 🙏🏼 missed the vids
Thank you for your content, and great that you are making reviews, they are terrific (honest, modest, and with zero BS).
I especially like R and S3 content (Golf fanboy here), so please keep them up.
Any more materials or updates on your 8R ?
The more I hear about this car the more I’m interested. It’s great to see VW pulling out all the stops for what could be (more than likely) the last ICE powered Golf GTI! Great review Hamza!
Saw a two-tone citi golf lurking in the background there at the museum. Shoutout from Pretoria, South Africa.
Great video, as always. Am i the only one who doest like the tv screen next to the stearing ???? It's a car not a computer game, to big and not part of the car.
Great review, really like the focus on the details that you would live with day to day
Mate some epic cars and fantastic trip. Cheers for taking us bro 🤙🏻
my bru remembered his login details, awe 👍🏼🇿🇦
Been a while, back with a banger 🔥🔥 Can't wait to see what's going to come out! Back in a MK5 aswell 😂
Yes Hamza! Everyone’s favourite car reviewer, great review like always. Keep up the good work
Absolutely brilliant review, your VW enthusiasm and expertise shines through for the most thorough test possible 👍👍
So happy for you bro. Been following you for a while. Well deserved 👏
That MK5 W12 650 looks timeless
Really like it
Lovely video Hamza. Thanks, great for the easy sunday afternoon
I wished for nothing more than exactly this video! Thanks!
Very jealous about GTI Fan Fest and getting to see the W12-650 in person. I was excited to see this video come out, it definitely lived up to the BTS sneak peaks on IG👌🏽
It’s nice but I have the manual mk7.5 and it’s hard to justify 41k 😢 for the new one
Good to see you back Hamza. Great video would love to see the 8.5 R Black Edition when its out
Good to see you back. I'm still not a fan of touchscreen operated heating and volume controls. They should have their own dedicated physical buttons, it's just easier. Also, why not put an idrive type of control to operate the screen whilst driving. Trust me, touchscreens are a major distraction.
Glad to see u back brother, however you took your sweet time 😂
The legend is back , where have you been brother?
He got locked up for 3 weeks I heard
@@Inzy-k yeah sure he did 😂
@@CannekeTheFeeder yep locked up for not uploading regularly aha just messing bro
If you see "The hand" in the thumbnail you know man made a comeback on the reviews
Nice video mate, looks like lots of improvements in the 8.5.
Keep bringing the content I just bought a 2022R but wanting for dealership to finish with paperwork. It takes a while (Japan). Loved all your work you did with your R. Think I watched each episode atleast twice.
Mine didn’t come with Nurburgring mode. :( Is there a way to keep auto gear change on manual mode without Special mode?
Damn hamza back can’t wait to c the upcoming vids
Great to have you back hamza . But Bro but why one video a month lately?
Thanks brother, had a few things that were out my control. Will share more soon.
Quality over quantity aswell imo
We were starting to worry about you as we hadn't seen a video for some time but when we saw this video and you starring in Andrew's (Volkswizard) video of the GTI Road Trip travelling to Fanfest, it was good to see you again, especially behind the wheel of the 7.5. 👍😎👍
Sustainability reasons 😂🎉
The oily bits are great. I have a manual 380 (a US spec with all the autobahn options and a manual box). Had a nightmare with the infotainment constantly calling support for no reason. Other than that it’s fantastic.
Can case video mate, keep them coming !
Great update, I remember watching JC drive the W12-650- classic.
I HATE pan sunroofs (think that’s because I won’t be seen in a convertible) nice job!
Nice blue and white South African citi in the background of the w12 golf 5 at 4:08
It's part of the VA Group so it will develop an untraceable, intermittent ECM fault
It is a nice car! Nice engine and gearbox. Nice video well explained 👍🏻.
Soon as you add metallic paint to the base model this enters luxury car tax..... How is a GTi now a luxury car
Lovin the review fella,spot on for me!
Get the Arteon vid out mate! Class as always
Great review I’m jealous you got to drive all those GTI’s 😉
One day!!! What a sweet looking car
Thanks for your VW content and I want to see more! Those wheels look a lot better than the MKV they are representing. I never liked the stock MKV wheels personally. I also prefer the old side-bar GTI badge over the letters on this one. That is a nice bump in HP to 265! Why did it restrict the drive modes?
The most imported thing is to test it on the B roads. So from the review, i still don't understand "what is it like to DRIVE". Hope to see it once you test it in the UK.
Nice to see farts back on these. The DQ381 in the 7.5 doesn’t have them🫤
Awesome!!
man if only you got some back roads 😮💨
Nice video 👍🏻
We want some R32 and R36 content
Bro fell behind with the videos are you okay hamza when are the passat and scirooco finish ❤❤
Hyundai N30 lookalike with the Front Light setup but without the power and suspension setup
fuck u on about kid
Okay, I'm holding off my purchase for a few more months. I prefer 2025 model
Got a R mk8.5 on order
Golf 7.5 gti still the best in all honesty.
Yep, love mine 👍
when will there be a update about the sciroco ? i would love to see more video's of that project
Hamza, Should I wait for the 8.5 or buy an 8 S in DSG? Is it worth the wait? How about the reliability of the 8?
❤
GTI MK2 / GTI MK7 best VW Hatchback ever made,
the mk7 is crap lmao.
Great review, when is the clubsport review?
👌🏽👌🏽 awesome video
I would love those wheels on my mk7 gti 😂
so just adding the 19's takes you over the p11d threshold and into luxury car tax band?
I need to come to some of these shoes
You're a great presenter
Thank you!
Great review
How about you finish the video with Scirocco and vr6 engine?
Saw volkswizards video of the Vw event too looked awesome. One time I wished I didn’t live in Australia 😂
Hamza egzoz sesi normal gti 7 gibimi ? Yoksa biraz degisiklik varmi??
2025 is nice, HOWEVER, that IPAD needs to be reduced in HALF and placed elongated and lower down.! VW make this happen ASAP!
my grandad got Mark for golf
Iv got the polo gti 73 mk8. Can you do a review on that please bro? Thanks. Great video.
Atleast it doesn't spin the wheels so much like on the 8
In my mk6 i would've been in the wrong lane but it wouldve been more exhilarating 18:30
want to know for MK7 is the cambelt going to last its life time ? or I need to change at 140Kmiles or so thanks
I have the facelifted new generation ( 2023) polo gti i wish i had the pops when switching gears 😢
Those wheels looks like it came off a Alfa Giulia
Make more rs3 videos!
Is there a way to upgrade the 2022 R infotainment system to help responsiveness?
I also hope there is a way to swap 2022 R steering wheels with 2025, if they come out with actual buttons.
It's an automatic like
How does it compare to the BMW 128ti?
I've owned a mk5 gti for 10 years and seeing these golf's are making want to upgrade lol
How does handling and experience compare with the 7.5PP?
was hoping they would get rid of the eyeliner
What is the name of the rims on the car ?
Epic
❤
Miss the reviews
Reviews 👍👍👍👍👍👍
More reviews!!!
SUSTAINABILITY REASONS BAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHA
Sucks the US only gets the same 241hp engine.
Really??? Should I just get the mk 8 for a discount then?
This big ahh tablet annoying me bro 😂
Will you do a 2018 mercades c63s review?
