New 2023 VW Golf R (Mk8) Full In-depth Review | The King Of Hothatches? |

This one needs no introduction, we’ve long anticipated this car in our market and it’s finally roaming the streets.
It’s more agile, faster, quicker, and more luxurious inside with nappa leather seats, even more sportier with some blue accents inside-out.
The biggest highlight for me is the massively improved handling all thanks to a clever differential at the rear that can accelerate the inside rear wheel faster than the outside one during cornering which helps the car rotate around its mass, truly the stuff of magic.
I’m happy to report that this is the new King of our South African Roads! 🫡👑💙
Thanks For Watching

Thank you guys for tuning into yet another video. So the plan was to do a back-to-back review with the 7.5 R, but the owner of the 8R ended up having an emergency so I just decided to focus on the Mk8 rather…
These are some of the things that happen in the background which you guys don’t get to see. Nonetheless, I’m happy I was able to do a full review on the Golf 8R, hope you enjoyed it.

Fighting for this car by next year i will be on the drivers seat

[@eksellent_]

🔥🔥🙌🙌

[@phiwokuhlemakabongwe8857]

I'm with you🧠

[@tmajec]

If you already have a vehicle that’s still good and running, save your money. The problem is that there’s always something to buy. Fellow Africans, eschew consumerism, and use your money to empower yourself and one another.

[@TlouSebotja]

I'm also with you, it took me time to really appreciate it 💯

[@SMP47356]

Did you get it big bro?

[@ericcarson342]

The Oryx White on the 7.5 R is more premium than the Pure White on the 8 R. Wish they would have brought that over.

[@tebogomaphafo3241]

the 7.5 R does have adaptive dampers, when you optioned it with DCC, alas cool review bruv!!👌

[@embakubmotoring]

🙏🙏🙏

[@thabrezshaik5008]

Great reviews! I'll still buy the 7.5 GTI TCR 😅

[@MartinPhalane]

This blue looks so beautiful 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Edge5055]

I noticed a drone during the exhaust sound test.

[@motopelamohapi4152]

Thank you, Emba. For this detailed review.

[@rivoningo]

Man oh man🔥😭

[@moviestudio3519]

both Golf 7.5 and 8 R are nice cars but I'll still go for the b58 M140i and save some money

[@tsaki_titan]

Wise man

[@loganpadayachee6048]

Poor resale value all BMW's

[@joshua4859]

Good quality video bro! Keep it up 👌🏻

[@embakubmotoring]

🙏🏽

[@number11scara]

My only wish for the MK8 R was R kickplates on the doors. The MK 8 GTI didnt have these and I didnt see them on MK8.5 either. Meaning that the MK8.5 R wont have them also. Bit of a downer but still a cool car though

[@Lesego626]

@embakubmotoring whats the name of this song bro 0:44? Fire song, i feel like im the only one loving it ❤😂

[@embakubmotoring]

AstroElle - thinking about the night before

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

Your channel is growing, you might want to soon start calling for quotation from insurance companies and see if they cover automotive journalists who drive review cars. One newly formed pothole can easily bend a BBS.

[@ToniMotau]

Love the sound ❤️‍🩹🙏

[@JustMV.]

The joy in your voice man I haven't heard you sound so jubilant since the rs3 video

[@embakubmotoring]

That’s true, my dream and passion mainly lies in performance cars, but I’ve had to adapt into reviewing normal cars too so I can keep the content going…
So that side of me is always woken up when I’m behind the wheel of a performance car.

[@cameroncoetzee2219]

We're backkkk!!! What a car man 😎😎🥶🥶🥶

[@lowrideza]

Ur channel... And da cars u reviewing,,,, beautiful

[@embakubmotoring]

🙏🙏🙏

[@jacobmakuka5483]

Looking forward to buy this car Inshallah ❤

[@Mb-pu5zn]

This car or the new focus st X??

[@embakubmotoring]

Golf 8 R by far

[@TommyWalls007]

Would never ever buy this car until they change the touch screen aspects

[@embakubmotoring]

I don’t understand what the fuss with those is about because it works just fine 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@TommyWalls007]

Obviously it doesn't work fine, because you said yourself that you can't see them in the dark... Also, just because some electronic works when it's brand new doesn't mean it's going to work in 5 years time... Apply some common sense.

[@embakubmotoring]

@@TommyWalls007 it's all just a fuss, that's a small detail, that doesn't mean it won't work in 5 years? If it was otherwise physical buttons would that guarantee it'll work in 5 years? That still doesn't checkout, obviously it's been engineered to serve its purpose and last. The functionality is a small detail, besides you can still control everything via the screen so🤷‍♂️
I just don't understand why everyone is so fussy, if car manufacturers listened to every opinion do you think they'd even be able to make a car? You don't have to answer this though...

[@tmajec]

If I need a screen to operate climate control, then I say so long 😂. People should enjoy what they already have, no need always wasting money on newer shinny stuff. Africans should invest in themselves

[@slimtebzaworld1757]

Great review but man when are you reviewing that Renault Megane RS Trophy, that car is a hot hatch, obvious we want to see how is like compared to hyundai i30n and golf 8 gti

[@embakubmotoring]

It’s not easy for me to get cars man, I ask owners and dealerships around me, those are very rare and there’s no one who has one around here, so only if I come across one…

[@katlegomasina1214]

Please bless us with another pov of this car

[@van_der_lindeDA]

Over this golf

[@younguzicat3346]

Is there a manual golf 8 in South Africa??

[@embakubmotoring]

We only get it in DSG.

[@shibashibaphasha]

name of song you playing back round please?

[@embakubmotoring]

I’ve linked it in the description…

[@baneleTngcobo]

Il wait for the 8.5. I seriously don't like the headlights of the 8. Other angles look super. The interior, only the seats are amazing but dash design I also prefer that of the 7.5.

[@nhlanhlamagagula7467]

Great in depth review..keep them rolling..Tks

[@embakubmotoring]

🙏🏽

[@kamogelosedie8147]

WHERE DID THEY DO THE NUMBER PLATE

[@embakubmotoring]

No idea, sorry about that…

[@Boyytonniihair]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kennthmaloka3177]

Excellent review bro.

[@embakubmotoring]

🙏

[@KainSwiss]

Great review! I had a choice to make to get this or go for the Audi RS3, I decided to get the RS3, but also got the Tiguan R

[@embakubmotoring]

That’s still an amazing choice, you should let me review them if you’re around 🙏🏽

[@KainSwiss]

@@embakubmotoring I would if I was in SA bro! Your channel is fire

[@embakubmotoring]

@@KainSwiss thanks a lot mate, I hope you enjoy the cars…

[@loganpadayachee6048]

Problem with Audi's they have poor resale values

[@wil1080]

There is no such thing as a MK 7.5 broski ...

[@embakubmotoring]

What is it then?

[@thabrezshaik5008]

It's common knowledge that the 7.5 refers to the face lift version bro

[@mazpr2025]

Yes, there is the MK7.5

[@donkravis2385]

BBBEE car reviews. Eish.
