Thanks for watching! :-)
So here we are again...! My apologies for the technical issues in last night's upload, lets hope this time everything goes smoothy...
FYI that’s not how you calculate your horsepower per tonne, but instead the pound per horsepower. If you want horsepower per tonne, divide your car’s horsepower number by your car’s weight (converted into tonne).
What kind of exhaust on Golf r
Stock but with the res delete
@@hampshirephoto am how about downpipe
@@hampshirephoto usually a lower consumption is better, whats that??
How can you time 0-60 with a stopwatch lmaooo
*Again a lot of fun here mate! Need to do more vids together* 🙌
100% mate!!!
@@hampshirephoto I'd be interested to see you do another head to head... But this time, get an APR tune.
Absolutely loved these 2 cars head to head, the golf is actually a lot closer to the a45 than I expected! Both look awesome next to eachother!
Thanks Scotty!!
Probably my two favourite hatchbacks ever
I‘m so looking forward to the a45s wich will come end of 2019 i guess. Thats gonna be insane with around 421 hp and the new facelift will also look very very hot with the new amg family-like front
Same! Looks like a wicked car
Another great video Luke! 👍 Keep them coming buddy
Thanks so much Josh! Really appreciate you taking the time to re-watch the video!
2 beautiful cars 😍😍
Thanks Sefa!
Let’s hope the video remains 16 mins this time lol - great video buddy!
Tell me about it!!! Thanks so much mate :D
“Oh Hello!” Lol 😂 That reaction was hilarious
Finally.. after so long.. someone finally did it.. you guys earn a subscription..
Thanks so much dude!! This is the first of many episodes comparing hot hatches so stay tuned :)
A45 AMG is a beast! but for me golf R
Haha thanks James :)
You had the badges above the wrong cars when displaying the scores after each round! My OCD is going mental😄 Good video though
Haha, my apologies!
the a45 has a soft launch mode that you could've used...also you don't need to put it into "sport handling mode" to access launch control. but both cars are pretty evenly matched
The launch control works. Depress the brake as much as you can… it has to be pressed a fair amount to activate launch
Great video guys. My pick would be the A45AMG as it is a bit more hardcore. I actually uploaded a depreciation analysis of the A45 AMG to my channel last week. Especially the pre-facelift version is not doing too bad anymore depreciations wise. Those are just great value for money.
👌
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed!
Lets all forget about the massive delay the a45 has when u put your foot down but start the timer anyway lol
Both are my favourite hot hatches,cracking video. A45 would extra nice with sport cat,golf full miltec .😉
Thanks for doing this vid Great honest real world testing 👌
Thanks Jimmy, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Another great vid. Great banter guys.
Thanks Alan!
You should make more for this series!
I'm working on it ;)
I have a Skoda Octavia 245 estate which is a seriously understated car!!
That'll be interesting :)
For launch control in my A45 at least I have to plant my foot hard on the brake in Manual mode + Traction off with white temps (2014).
Nice idea this. Will follow this. Hopefully put it up against a m140 also.
Thanks a lot!! An episode featuring an M140 is coming soon :)
@@hampshirephoto very nice to hear. I had a hard choice to make between those cars like the golf r a45, s3 and the m140. But in october I bought the m140. Although I have the xdrive version so it drives a bit different. Looking forward
Bro's tryna call a Merc owner a Yobbo but he owns a VW 💀
If you want to rev up your VW golf 7R more than 4000 rpm, just put it in neutral
Got the 2018 Gti golf and can't wait to get the future more faster golf R
Great vid,
Thank you!! :)
8:50 4.2 does a M140i gps measured the golf does it in 4.4 also gps. Of course you get 4.2 downhill!
You forgot cost, insurance, maintenance, comfort, handling etc etc lol it will be like 8-3 to the golf R
I didn't want to make it too 'long winded' but I see your point haha!
hampshirephoto I just bought a golf R so maybe I’m biased but I love them!
Is a merc note expensive, how much do you think the difference is?
Great video! Love both cars!
Thanks Carlos!
Golf r for meeee
Thank you :P
Cant believe you got David Schwimmer on the channel
As for looks amg looks sexy no doubt about it. I love the golf due to its interior with the infotainment system and lcd cockpit feature.
Mega Video! Glad I turned on Video Notifications! Keep it up mate! See you again soon!
Thanks buddy! Really appreciate it
Naaa no problem, more to watch :P
Haha thank you!
You can rev past 4k if you turn off traction control
I never knew that! I'll try that next time, thanks!
You should use any 0-100 gps app for your 0-60(0-100kph) runs. Also any db metering app would suffice too. Keep it up!
Thanks Jonty! A decidel meter is normally used but I forgot it when filming this episode! Also, a dragy gps unit is something I'm after to make the tests more accurate
Harry went from riding brooms to riding a golf r. Hogwards graduate right there
Turn traction control off and you’ll be able to redline it from a start
I'll try that next time, thanks Jack!
Guys if you want to exactly measure the 0 to 60 times you can’t use the phone... there is the human error when you tap the phone, and you might lose a few milliseconds, you have to use the exact gps measurements, there are some apps that do that.
The beast 💥💥💥
I think my 1litre polo stands a chance at winning 😅
Fancy doing a Hot Hatch meet up one day? - i have a Golf R MK7 so i cannot compete in this Head2Head as it's almost the same car!
Think i’m going to have to get myself a golf R ❤️
Do it! :D
My two fav car’s damn can’t choise wish one i shud buy..🤣🙏🏽
new hot hatches sound like kevin and perry having a farting competition
haha!
@@hampshirephoto I have a 2006 mk 5 r32 . Im in north wales if you ever want to make v log comparing how the r sound has changed since the vr6 let me know
Hi Luke, How about a back to back comparison of a golf R with DCC, and not? Many prospective buyers would like this as its not possible to arrange at a dealer.
nice video as always
Thank you buddy!
@@hampshirephoto
thanks for the reply
im mad.... My 2016 golf R with the resonator delete does not pop at all.... just a little louder then stock
Hi y don’t u try fiesta st against the golf r see how many like golf r or st
This is only episode 1! Stay tuned for future videos from the series
I'm still no better off deciding which one to get 😂😂
Drive both and you will get your answers
An a45 doing almost 6 seconds to 60 is ridiculous this video had about 2mins of planning 🤧
I love the soundtracks. Where do you get the music from?
i want one these cars and i have no idea which leaning just towards a golf but idk
You won't regret the Golf R! Best car I've ever owned
Which interior do you guys think is better///AMG or R
I'm from Malaysia and i kinda verrry love this video mate...
Cool video,
Thank you!
The a45 its not a good match/comparison for golf r. Its should be ford focus rs or the audi S3. Just my opinion. But its still fun to watch. Good job mate.
Do you mean rs3? S3 is basically the same car as the golf r
@@jordantowers28 yes what i mean is audi S3. For me a45 and rs3 is in another level of hot hatch.
golf r competitor is a45. rs3 is 2.5 litre with 5 cylinder which produces almost 400hp.
@@asrulshah2716 FL a45 is around 380 bhp and rs3 nearly 400. Also they are similar prices new. Golf r even though the same engine size as the a45 is over 80 bhp down on the a45 in standard form. Stage 1 golf r could be compared to an a45
Glad you still enjoyed the vid :)
The A45 is the better car but far too expensive. Bang for your buck it has to be the Golf as you can add mods in
hmm but now they are nearly the same price for 23-25K 2016-2017
yes it's not like the amg can also be modded..sheesh.
Looks like the A45 had quite a flat tyre?
Keep it up good stuff 👍🏻
Thank you!
hampshirephoto your welcome dude
hampshirephoto I’ve subscribed 👍🏻
Really appreciate it!
Man like Muller
muller yoghurt
What are the seat like in long journeys do you get a dead bum? That's what I would like to know
Hey Joe, the seats are great in the Golf R, I've nevered suffered with a numb bum!
Nice video man! Can you try to versus with the Audi RS3 please that would be awesome! 😍
Thanks buddy! Sure :)
Is this kid wearing one of those fake glasses with the big false nose u used to buy in jokes shops? 😄
Great videos bro you should do with a civic fk8 type R 👍🏼
Is there a good GPS Android app for a cell phone?
Car needs to be in RACE MODE FOR LAUNCH CONTROL
Remember the AMg is already stage 1
Shouldve been 3-1 for the Merc
Like the golf but its a little bit plain, maybe give it a new paint job but thats up too you, liked the video overal.
The golf r and gti have always been more "conservative" I for one appreciate it but I understand where you are coming from
Thanks buddy :)
How much is the Merc ?
Merc owner is a funny guy!
A45’s sound like buzzy lawn mowers. R everyday of the week.👍🇦🇺
I have a stage 2 MK7 DSG golf R 400BHP and a stage 2 A45 won’t beat a stage 2 golf r
Thats for sure. VAG EA888.3 can be tuned very easily in combination with DSG gearbox and than it can beat easily stage 2 tuned A45. Golf R and GTI are one of the best cars for tuning. RS3 is completely different league.
Fedja Drndarski yes mate RS3 is in a league of its own...but when the 2020 Golf R comes out that’s over 400BHP stock... then I think we have a battle on our hands 🔥🔥 can’t wait
its weird seeing nerds driving hot hatches rather than the usual vauxhall corsas with an induction kit 🤣🤣🤣
8:28 naaaaah guys there was definitley no wheelspin!
Wens the new a45 cmg out
It'll probably be at the Geneva Motor Show.
Like Henry said, it'll most likely be at Geneva
@@hampshirephoto Cheers. Keep up the good work. watching all the way from Asia :)
Dragy for accurate times would help,
I'm working on it :)
A45 AMG price when new: £54,000
Golf R price when new: £34,000
Purely on Price its 3-3 !!!....
True, having price isn't on the list of rounds!
Golf R! All day long!
Great vid lads 👍👌
Thanks Ian!
If you spent the same amount of money on your R with mods vs what he spent on his AMG stock, you would utterly destroy the AMG with still a lot of money left over....while still getting better gas mileage. Your R is bigger, is more comfortable and has a better trunk (boot for you Brits). HOWEVER, having said that, the AMG just looks too damn good, sounds great and has a real nice interior. If money were no object, it's what I would buy. In full disclosure, I actually have a stage 2 GTI as my daily driver and a C63S AMG. So I somewhat have the best of both worlds. THANKS for the video!
Glad you enjoyed :)
So I'm trying to buy a new car but I just can't decide between this and the m140i. It's just so f*cking close its ridiculous
Will be comparing the R & M140i soon so stay tuned!
Stef has magnificent hair.
Bro. My C300 gets 18mpg with less power
Nice car a45. But for me golf😍
Still think the Golf Rs exhaust sounds a tiny bit better. Great content as always luke 😎🏆
If your gonna buy cars like this you can't really complain about fuel.
A45 !
Why didn't you buy a Mercedes a45 amg
Evey passenger will add easy .3 of a second in a motorcycle engine car . I've got 17 AMG 45
The only channel on here that cant launch a a45 amg 🤣🤣 the amg takes every win on this lets be serious his arse must be sore from sitting on the fence wae the golf 👍
Try and get someone with a Mk7/ MK7.5 GTI
I'm working on it :D
@@hampshirephoto Good man! :)
Very interesting video as I’m test-driving both of those cars in a few days :D
Not being funny but how can you really win the 0-60 he didn't launch 🤔
you are a teenager and you drive a golf R wow
Golf r only
Your foot isn't on the brake pedal hard enough that's why the launch isn't engaging . 😏😏
