    A Golf R is a car that barely anyone over 30 would drive in Germany and it's considered to be pretty quick. I once had a GTI for a couple days and it felt dangerously fast to me.

      I don't know how he kept comparing the price to a GTI without mentioning that it's AWD every time. In my opinion, horsepower is irrelevant compared to that one major platform difference. The price would still be understandable if it were a GTI in every respect including badges but with the addition of AWD.

    '16 Golf R owner here who fits none of the stereotypes mentioned and now I'm butthurt because he didn't burn me. Also, it's about a $4-5k difference between the top optioned GTI and the R, so that's more of an apples to apples comparison. It's a no-brainer at that point if you live anywhere it snows, you go with the R (AWD). Mine has a simple JB4 tune and consistently launches to 60 in the low 4's (at 5,280' elevation) and it carves canyons like Thanksgiving Day turkeys here in Colorado, but yeah, Buick comparison something or another.

    Coincidentally just bought a 17 Golf R. Was going back and forth between it and a GTI. But what made me get the R is remembering how much better driving an AWD car is in the snow or rain. FWD just kills the fun.

    In reference to the statement @4:15 you do actually get more under the hood of the GTI and Golf R than advertized. The GTI regularly dynos @ 220-ish wheel horsepower, and these dyno closer to the crank figures at the wheels, so I would say youre getting ~250hp with the GTI and ~320hp with the R, for what its worth Mr. Regular :P

    Fun fact.... The MK5 GTI weighed 3550lbs or exactly TWICE the weight of the original MK1 GTI. It also came came with twice the horsepower and significantly more safety, comfort and technology.
    As a owner of a MK2, a MK5 and a MK7 I can say I like them and drive them for all different reasons. The older ones just have that extra something something going from them that the new ones just don't but I'll tell you what, I'll drive a new one 90% of the time over the old one because it's just a better car to live with day in and day out. The newer ones do a great job and better job than most cars on the road period. They absolutely handle the road better than the mk1 or mk2 as well but they just are just different and thats a good thing. Evolution is a good thing here for sure... Buy them 2-3 years old and they are half price too. A bargin. Except the Golf R, it's just crazy expensive but you do keep that resale value over the GTI when you go to sell though.

I would never buy a GTI after having experienced the R
