Regarding the rear wiper delete. In my opinion, it needs the wiper put back, my 2017 MK7 R (hatchback) is a pain in the arse for road dirt & spray getting flung up onto the rear of it, it gets dirty very quickly. It would drive me insane if it didn’t have the rear wiper. So, Calvin, fit the rear wiper back on mate 🤙🏻
Yes the mk 7.5 golf r estate has 2 back boxes and 4 real exhausts. The mk 7 had 2 tips into 4 fake exhausts. That’s one big reason I sold mine. I had one of the first r estates In uk. Loved every other part of it. Then I went to one of the first 7.5 hatches with aka exhaust. Best car I have ever bought. Ps amazingly I think VW actually listened to some feedback. R owners wanted all black interior and real exhaust. And they did both.
Yess Calvin Back With Another Epic Video on a MK7.5 Golf R But this is a Very Special Car in my opinion is the Daddy of the VW Golf R's in my opinion Calv Absolutely Love an Estate Car and This MK7.5 Golf R is a Prime Example of a Daily Driver Calv 👌 Smashing Video As Always mate
I have the 7.5 wagon in the same colour. Exhaust fully works, it was the mk7 estate that had 1 pipe per side working. They also don't have valves so noisy all the time.
I am so glad this video has landed. I am thinking of buying one of these wagons. Not even watched it yet but liked the video. Gonna lay in the bath and watch it 😂 Top Man Calvin
First off Car Vertical FTW. I have a MK7.5 Golf R but I f**kin Love them estate Golf R's, so sick man to have one as I spend a lot of time in Cornwall ( family) but I work in Bristol all week. Ima have to get one soon. Pan roof too is awesome.
Calv needs a b3 alpina estate or maybe the new shape m3 estate once prices stop messing about M3 estate changed my mind about estates, love them especially the one Becky Evan’s has on her channel 🔥🔥🔥
My MK7R estate had fake tips attached to the bumper with one pipe on each side of the car blowing smoke through the outer fake tip on each side. It also had keyless entry, start button and a rear wiper :)
Found this video as were currently looking for a new family car. We currently have a 2020 astra sri diesel estate as our family car, its nice to drive but i love my performance, we come across a 2019 golf r estate while looking at a tiguan estate, the golf r estate had a ABT kit (i think). Thanks for the video and info. Would love if you could include any drawbacks with vehicles, like common issues etc but other than that, great video
I think it was pre facelift cars that had only 1 pipe either side working. Don't think the estates had valved system either like the hatch could be wrong tho
@@ImKrull I know GTi only had single pipes but on the R estate it was quad but only 1 each side worked if that makes sense and the system wasn't valved on estates like hatchbacks
Great video Calv 👍🏼 I had two of these mk7.5 estates and loved them. Now got a C7 RS6 and honestly the golf gives 80-90% of the everyday thrills and is such a practical wagon. Will definitely consider another one if I get tired of the costs in running the RS6!
Im interested in a golf r variant because of the practicability and it’s more unique, but im worried about interior quality like road noise on the highway, comfort for longer roadtrips how was it for you? Coming from a bmw f20
The reason there are very few high spec Golf R's, Pano roofs etc. is probably because most of them were on 2 - 3 year leases, and nobody specs up a car your only keeping for 2 yrs. The only option I chose on mine was 90% rear tints which cost about £90 IIRC.
Youve literally reviewed my exact car!! Exact same colour and wheels, but mine has a few bits this one hasnt from factory. DG18 BYL, check that spec out 😉. Leather and adaptive dampers. Mines running 388bhp on a JB4 tune. 0-60 in 3.6. R600 plus a few other bits under the bonnet too
Disagree about the res delete though, I got mine done then put it back to stock the next day. Sounded awful, cheap and chavvy. It costs a lot of money to make these sound good, but I didnt buy it for the exhaust note 😶
The tail lights are the same as the standard golf estate, still full led but not quite as fancy as the hatchback R. Because they were made in such small number, VW didnt deem it worthwile to design a whole rear cluster for the R estate
I think the colour makes that car together with those grey Estoril alloys and Pan roof. Seen the R estate in White with standard wheels and it doesn't do it justice.
@@Charlie-fk5lp lights are far more subtle than a quad exhaust and a diffuser. I just expect if I buy an estate version of a top of the range hatch it should have every feature the hatch has. Thankfully with the mk8 they’ve done that. Shame it’s pig fugly
Car looks brilliant. I think the pre face-lift estates didn't have all 4 pipes connected and I believe the 7.5 cars had black mirrors as an option not standard. Lovely cars as always amazed how quick it is keep it up
nice estate this , them tiny deference's! 👍 , wiper delete 🙀that surly isn't and option extra to have a wiper , i find it ages a car taking them off , just my opinion , , is their a reason the estate didn't get the sweeping lights , one year was a 310 bhp !
Great video Calvin, I’m currently in the mkt for an R estate…as you say it rare to find one with the pan roof! Btw any tips on how to fix the boot latch as mine on a mk7 gti has just gone! Would appreciate it mate
Hey Calv, just been looking at cars as always (might as well be a trader) 😂 and I think a Peugeot 208 gti would be a perfect car for planet of dreams? 👍🏻
Hi Calvin no doubt you’ve been asked this question a lot so for that I’m sorry, but could you tell me pls what website you use to check a vehicle ie if it’s a cat S and additionally extra it as on the vehicle cheers
Used Carvertical on a Golf R I just got last weekend as result of watching this vid, but the code CCD wasnt valid 🙁................oh and my Mk7 DOES have the sunroof, the extra Maxton front splitter, skirt extensions and spoiler add-on 😆
Went to binca over the weekend absolutely disappointed with the service received from these guys travelled all the way from Birmingham to see a 335i and after test drive car went into limp mode upon return informed the guys here and they weren't interested in fiximg or knocking the money off to fix the car and not forgetting we paid £24 for test drive which i didn't get back either all these good honest business is only for RUclips view by the looks off it, i think everyone should stay away. Also when i got back found the same car advertised on gumtree for a lower price compared to autotrader. I think they need to review their honest business policy.
Hi mate what’s your website would like to look at all your stock and come take a look round your awesome cars. Looking into trading in my good spec focus st3 mk3.5 2018 250
Just bought a golf R and kind of regret it already. Not the car, the car is great, just being the uk, there are cameras everywhere and police everywhere literally can’t enjoy the car at all. I’ve lived in Tenerife for long time and So fun driving out there.
14:00 the Pretorias on the estate are fake - way less protrusion than on the hatch (clearly visible). Also why the spec sheet says BLACK wheels which they clearly aren't.

7.5 estate 👌 wonder why they didn't have sweeping indicators on the estate , !
Was a pleasure to meet you Calvin, Sorry to disrupt the video ❤️
Don’t be silly man, good to meet you too sir 🫡
Tell the truth Calvin ordered 2 big mac meals right
Love bigUps to Calvin keeping this in

1 wet winter drive without wiper and you can't see ANYTHING.
Pano Roofs crack and leak. Pain all round. R guys know this mate.

My son has a red 7.5 R estate and both sides of exhaust are active but.....they don't have valves like the hatch. Lovely car in the Grey.
Really don't understand the rear wiper delete. Does myh head in..
Totally agree mate, drove me mad for the 2 years I owned mine!
It's a cringe bandwagon

having a pan roof adds weight and that weight is high up. A reason not many spect them with pan roof
I have the same motor. Running stage 3 450bhp absolute weapon. Daily drive love it 👍🏻

I have a 2016 Golf R absolutely my favourite car I ever owned! Thank you for your enthusiasm
and for sharing your videos 👍👍
I agree with you Calvin about the pan roof as I love them and wish I had one on my Golf GTI Performance.
Calv needs a b3 alpina estate or maybe the new shape m3 estate once prices stop messing about
M3 estate changed my mind about estates, love them especially the one Becky Evan’s has on her channel 🔥🔥🔥
Keyless entry and start was available as an option on the MK7. I bought one in 2016 and spec'd it :)
2013 also had iy
Totally agree about the rear wiper
Calvin you making all of us want a mk7.5 golf R!!! Loving it buddy!!
hahaha new year new me. First video i’ve watched of urs mate. Gotta say enjoyed it🤩
My MK7R estate had fake tips attached to the bumper with one pipe on each side of the car blowing smoke through the outer fake tip on each side. It also had keyless entry, start button and a rear wiper :)
Proper nice car, I'm not keen on rear wiper delete too, my mk7 rear window always gets dirty
Perfect allrounder. Obviously not a market seller but what more could you ask for. This is on my bucket list.

I hate the rear wiper delete thing as well
It's just a goofy bandwagon

That’s the gti your thinking of like mine ✌🏽
@@ImKrull I know GTi only had single pipes but on the R estate it was quad but only 1 each side worked if that makes sense and the system wasn't valved on estates like hatchbacks
No mate they all work on mine. I’ve had lads burn legs on upgraded exhaust pipes
Perfect family car, looks incredible
Have you ever had a CLA45 shooting brake in stock? I've got a CLA220 but the next step is to get the AMG.
Great video Calv 👍🏼 I had two of these mk7.5 estates and loved them. Now got a C7 RS6 and honestly the golf gives 80-90% of the everyday thrills and is such a practical wagon. Will definitely consider another one if I get tired of the costs in running the RS6!

Love these Calvin get the best of both worlds with that nice and sporty and practical at the same time going to love this video no doubt
That's a proper bit of kit 👌
Rock solid volkwagon build quality
9:45 er,control we have a blip in the matrix
Great vid bro - really good editing as well
Love this, makes me appreciate my 7.5R with a pano-roof :D Also, an old MK7 (2013) GTI Perf. had keyless entry, top tier option.

Res delete and a good air intake with cold air definitely makes a difference on a car like that !
This is properly mint! Got a GTD 7.5 with the 19 inch wheels wish i had one of these!!!

I see this way more appealing than the hatch, dad spec 🔥
I think the colour makes that car together with those grey Estoril alloys and Pan roof. Seen the R estate in White with standard wheels and it doesn't do it justice.
Pretoria* alloys
Calvin got me looking at Golf R's after seeing this mad spec R
Best car I have owned! Even hit over 50mpg on a run! With kids it's a perfect everyday car!
Really bugs me they didn't put the fancy rear lights on these like the hatches
Think it gives the car more of a sleeper look. Looks just like a golf estate to the average Joe
@@Charlie-fk5lp lights are far more subtle than a quad exhaust and a diffuser. I just expect if I buy an estate version of a top of the range hatch it should have every feature the hatch has. Thankfully with the mk8 they’ve done that. Shame it’s pig fugly
I have a rear wiper delete on my Fiesta ST. I think it is much cleaner, but in this winter it can be a nightmare haha, so I have split thoughts.
Calv mk7 estate has only one exhaust used each side. 7.5 estate uses both each side.
Estates just make any car better!! Beautiful machine. Definitely showed your age with the wiper delete lol
God bless ccd
Needs a rear wipe cleaned my Bmw 5 series e61 yesterday took it out today throws up so much dirt it looked terrible may need mud flaps?
Great video. Saw you at Harry Potter world today. Didn't get a chance to say hello, but recognised the big voice.. 👍
Great video as always Calvin I'm with you on the rear wiper 👍
Forget the Golf R Estate....... do I spy a Vauxhall Omega estate in the background...get it on the channel Calv...
Been looking at one of these to replace my m140i as I know need the extra space and more than 3 doors.
Get a 340i
@J-Msterdam I did contemplate it but I've never owned a 4 wheel drive car so was considering it.
@@andy00grantdefinitely worth considering the 7/7.5R estate especially if you have kids and want to have both practicality and fun
Love the golf r estate pretty rare 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Car looks brilliant. I think the pre face-lift estates didn't have all 4 pipes connected and I believe the 7.5 cars had black mirrors as an option not standard.
Lovely cars as always amazed how quick it is keep it up
nice estate this , them tiny deference's! 👍 , wiper delete 🙀that surly isn't and option extra to have a wiper , i find it ages a car taking them off , just my opinion , , is their a reason the estate didn't get the sweeping lights , one year was a 310 bhp !
Should try find yourself a factory akrapovic for the 7.5 finish it of 👌
That’s almost guarantee to be stage1 - all the signs are there. Dunno what they done to suspension.
The perfect affordable wagon 🤙🏼
Great video Calvin, I’m currently in the mkt for an R estate…as you say it rare to find one with the pan roof! Btw any tips on how to fix the boot latch as mine on a mk7 gti has just gone! Would appreciate it mate
the Mk7 Golfs can/do have keyless entry as we have a Mk7 GTD and it has it
Hey Calv, just been looking at cars as always (might as well be a trader) 😂 and I think a Peugeot 208 gti would be a perfect car for planet of dreams? 👍🏻
im with you on that one, rear wiper delete is just dumb
7.5 Mirrors are actually silver standard. Previous owners changed them.
The MK7.5 estate has a full exhaust system. Its the MK7 estate that doesn't I believe.
I think they both have full exhaust. But tail pipes are fitted to boxes differently.
MK 7 has a full exhaust, its just the tailpipes which are really a twin, rather than the fake 4. My mk7 has two filthy tailpipes and two clean ones,
The silver MK6R is soooo beautiful 🥹🔥😭
Jesus for that little extra length of car you get a hell of a lot more room. And the way it performs its not even a negative about the extra weight.
Pan roofs and sun roofs should be a must on every car
Patrick for PM
Great its stock with exhaust mods very classy with the roof the wheels splitter and plate this is a mint daily
Love that you got the OpenReach engineer to do a bit of filming 😅
Probably worth checking to see if the car has a stage 1 map on it ?
It won’t have. A stage 1 map on these puts them into the mid-high 3 second territory. I know coz mines stage1.
Sweet motor.
Get that rear wiper back on. Old fashioned man has spoken.
How much would you buy my VW Polo GTI 6c sport pack, sun roof, DSG for? 16 plate 42000 miles (pure white)
I have one of these. Never getting rid of it. Ticks every box for me ✅
The estate if I'm correct doesn't have the valves on the exhaust
Stunning car not surprised it’s sold great pan roof👍
Hi Calvin no doubt you’ve been asked this question a lot so for that I’m sorry, but could you tell me pls what website you use to check a vehicle ie if it’s a cat S and additionally extra it as on the vehicle cheers
Car vertical
I have been considering one of these, practical and good performance. Do people steal them as much as the hatchbacks?
The draggy time was even more impressive considering its 100kg heavier than the hatchback + the weight of the massive pan roof
Used Carvertical on a Golf R I just got last weekend as result of watching this vid, but the code CCD wasnt valid 🙁................oh and my Mk7 DOES have the sunroof, the extra Maxton front splitter, skirt extensions and spoiler add-on 😆
I love the Hatch but this is even better in my opinion, more space and not much performance difference!
Nice looking 👌
Lovely spec
Love a pan roof
Calvin get a track hawk jeep absolutely amazing all-rounder.. Can't still run the calvin's bimmer diaries

criminal we dont have this car in the states
my neighbour has got a cayenne 4.2 v8 diesel some noise from it his house is huge
Does estate have higher top speed?
8:23 was dat manlike Angel?
Hi mate what’s your website would like to look at all your stock and come take a look round your awesome cars. Looking into trading in my good spec focus st3 mk3.5 2018 250
I have a regular golf variant, i don't like VW but the R is quite cool
Been thinking about one of these after my gtd
first thing on a car is the rear wiper, no wiper no buying 😂
Awesome video always great content also for a big car get a Mercedes GLC
The reason you can’t find a golf r with a pano roof is the majority of them are ex lease cars
Just bought a golf R and kind of regret it already. Not the car, the car is great, just being the uk, there are cameras everywhere and police everywhere literally can’t enjoy the car at all. I’ve lived in Tenerife for long time and
So fun driving out there.
14:00 the Pretorias on the estate are fake - way less protrusion than on the hatch (clearly visible). Also why the spec sheet says BLACK wheels which they clearly aren't.
bigger daily.... off to find a SQ8 Audi?
It was called Variant , did VW change the name ?
Time for a stage 2 tune now!
oh man... This the car i always wanted but in lapiz blue.. but to get a nice one was a bit to much for my budget -_-
Gorgeous car 😍
Calvin the panoramic sunroofs apparently crack for unknown reasons would you comment on this or anyone else has heard?
True. The golf fb group is full of them.
Nice car got to love a golf r estate car
