Was an awesome day filming with the guys down in London. Big thanks to Mo for inviting me down and showing me his 1 day old MK7.5 Facelift Golf R!
Hopefully more great stuff to come in the future!

nice to see a golf r thats not blue.
Very true!
Blue is an exclusive Colour only for GOLF R, it amazing in the light.
Ordered mine in Atlantic blue metallic just because like you said, regular blue is to common ^^
I think so too he means lapiz blue :)
Not so great unless you live in a warm area with well maintained roads. Little rock chips and scratches are hell on the paint and they are very noticeable.
Fully rate your videos brother. Nice to see an apna, who knows what he's talking about make quality videos!
Thanks for the support brother, will continue to keep up the quality hopefully!
Hope you guys enjoyed this quick comparison video, give the vid a thumbs up if you did 👍🏼
It is by no means a full detailed review but hopefully that will come soon!
Thanks - Hamza
TR Hamza golf r amazing car...but I'd still go for Audi S3 ANYDAY!
TR Hamza you chose right. Something about golf's makes them seem like they're designed to a budget. Apart from the seats the Audi seems like a nicer place to be in, more premium IMO. Thanks for the comparison.
your going to kill the paint on your hood removing the insulation just a heads up, over time heat will hurt your paint from underneath
You need to let your friend know the national speed limit for single lane carriageways is 60mph, not 70. Nice R, but the S3 is better - except for the Alcantara seats! I'd take them over leather any day.
Fahim Sultan it will also cause the fuel in the lines to evaporate when left out in hot weather! Starting problems ahoy.
My dream car the Golf R. Well done with the comparing both. Fab video!
Manj Bains want to come have a spin in your dream car haha ?
Thank you mate!
MRP Cars Thanks for the offer mate. Did test drive one at Motorpoint Birmingham but unfortunately it was the basic model and manual not the dsg. Will wait and save a bit more to get a fully loaded one and with dsg as got a S4 auto at the moment.
How much are they too buy?
Was my dream car till I drove the a45 amg
I actually be waiting for your vidz bro! Need two a week please, you have a following!!!
Sorry bro! I know there was a huge gap this past week but the quality has been high. Two a week has always been my goal will stick to it as the following is growing like you say!
Picked up my S3 from Essex last week, amazing cars
Yeah they are amazing, congrats
Good video thanks man nice to see you doing new car content that hasn't been done yet and even better doing it well!
Thanks man! I appreciate it. Yeah I was just glad that I managed to get the comparison out so soon!
first video i've watched of yours, will definitley be watching more. hope this channel grows for you
Awesome man welcome! Glad to have you watching!
Mine is almost made!
Omfg, I can't wait!
March the 6th baby!
Great video Guys!
sick comparison dude - really enjoying these videos - keep it up!
Thanks dude! - Will keep them coming, glad you're enjoying them!
Always preferred the S3 for the interior, but the lack of side support is really bloody annoying, even with the upgraded seats. Now I'd take the 7.5R without question with the new cockpit. Also those suede looking seats look incredible. Great review 👍🏼
Thanks mate 👍🏼 Yeah the S3 seats are really not up to the job when its comes to spirited driving, its a shame. The 7.5 R is definitely a nice place to be now. S3 still does have more of a luxury feeling though I will admit.
New to your channel and awesome video!!! I just upgraded my Wolfsburg GTI to a 2018 Golf R!!! Can’t wait...it just arrived at the rail yard so should have it this coming week! Big hello from 🇨🇦!!!!!
"People who know what it is...know what it is."
Very good Gents, much appreciated
No problem mate 👍🏼
Smashed it! Enjoyed the review!
Great Vid mate, not checked your channel b4. Definitely looking at the Golf R in a different light but still love the S3 💣💥 looking forward to more of your content & honest reviews 😎
Ordered my s3 today !!! Can't wait love the videos mate
Congrats mate! and thank you!
Actually considering both of these for my next car so this video was really useful ! Currently driving a MK7 GTI but feel the need for something with a little extra next time round.
Glad you found the video useful, can't go wrong with either!
I'm in the standard , looking to buy a golf r vs s3 vs Leon cupra group, these videos are really helpful, definitely give the best insight on what the cars are actually like for your average hot hatch buyer!
Nice comparison i was waiting for this !👍🏼
Thanks dude! Awesome timing
One of few RUclipsrs to not just bang on about his ride. Great unbiased reviews all round. If only the R came with the Oettinger kit as stock and some HK Audio :/
Thank you mate! 👍🏼 Yeah I like to look at stuff objectively, don't want to mislead people just because its my car, gotta point out the flaws!
Great channel bro, props from the states.. Currently driving a ST tuned on e30 but plan on getting the Golf R with a manual.
Classy looking R! I like the facelift. Enjoyed the review/comparison.
Glad you enjoyed the video pal :) It is very classy indeed
Just stumbled across your channel great comparison of two fantastic cars. Makes me want an S 3 even more now. Subscribed! Keep up the good work.
Barry,
What S3 , lol R mk7.5 all day long.
Mo that was a great choice and I like the Indium Grey very much as an alternative to the Lapiz Blue.
Barry,
Get down to Audi &VW and do your own prove out test drives.
I would go for a new facelift S3 dsg with a few extras. Audi virtual cockpit, privacy glass, electric lumber, hill hold. We shall see.

Love the colour of that golf. Beautiful.
Did you say Indian grey?
Guy Fawkes Indium Grey
Both cars are fabulous examples of true sports car driving. The Golf R seems to involve the driver a little more because of the louder exhaust and seats. The S-3 will appeal to the older driver who wants a cachet brand and is moving upward toward a career. They're both fine cars with their own dna and brand identity. It's more of a matter of personal preference with these models, because their quality and performance will never disappoint the driver. Good review and video.
Subscribed. Bro you've got some excellent content. keep it up 👍🏼
Thank you bro, will keep it coming!
Love the new golf R!! Thanks for the review. Subbed.
Great stuff - really enjoyable watch.
Great video. One of the reasons it inspired me to do a video of the mk7 vs a mk7.5.
Iv gone for a S3 white sportback... on order to arrive at the end of may 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Congrats, you'll love it!
Just found your channel and ngl you push out some nice content, keep it up 👍🏼
Thanks man! Glad you found the channel 👍🏼 Hopefully keep the content coming
Great video lads. Love both of your cars I've got a mk7 R which I'm absolutely in love with! Even though they are ten a penny here in south Manchester
Thanks mate! Yeah great cars despite the herds of them out there! Hoping to get back in one soon for a thorough drive
You're welcome! So many because there are few cars faster in the real world point to point!
Top video ,keep up the great work .
That's exactly how you run in a new car...nice and hard for the first 200 miles to make sure those piston rings seal properly...which in turn produces a more powerful engine...drop the oil and change the oil filter...and carry on driving that car like it was stolen.
Great vids @TR Hamza...keep it up bro...waiting for the RS3 and Golf R handling comparison.
I'm looking at both of these cars at the moment trying to decide what to go for... great video to show some of the comparisons, but like you said they are so similar I'm still undecided?!
Whats your choice? Im in the same situation ...golf 7.5 R or S3 8v facelift
your vids are quality mate keep it up
great videos keep them coming bro
Will do bro thank you!
The new 7.5 R has a lovely note out of it in all fairness!
It does doesn't it!
very good vids pal. You do it in a good way. Got mk7 r. with Miltek exhuast. prets, limestone grey with oetinger rear spoiler and JB4 . Dino run was an extra 54 bhp and an extra 74 troques. Not bad for a 500 qid plug in. Want more now but will wait till waranty expires in 6 months. Keep up the good work. All the best . Ginger
Nice video brother. That Golf R...yes please!!
Thanks brother!
Bro U better then that aleem gezza guy calls him self lord keep it up u doing a good job
Thanks, looking at this as my next car and googled to get here
Great video bro keep it up 👌🏼
Thank you bro will do!
Man, I am literally being tortured by the fact that I can't afford the new R.
I enjoyed this video, despite the fact that I can't get the same options here in the US; love the R rims and color in the UK version. The video in general gives a VERY nice sampling of the R's cabin sound, and I love the sense of the speed in front windows as the camera points at your face. The S3 clips are very nice as well. If I can't afford the R here, I certainly wont be able to afford the Audi - yet it's nice to see the cabin differences. The commentary from both of you was very enjoyable.
Either way, thanks for taking me to a nice fantasy world for a few minutes! I currently drive a DSG 2011 GTI right now, and with fairly low mileage, this video's inspired me to take it out and scare the old people in town :)
to be fair your on basically the same level as Sol, STG, shmee, JWW etc 👍
Thank you made, didn't expect that level of praise! 👍🏼
Good video! Two very good cars. Amazing performance in a hatchback- silly sensible cars!
Thanks! Yeah it is amazing how much power you can get in hatchbacks these days!
Great videos, and beautiful cars, love watching them, keep them coming please, cute guy also xx.
Great video guys, very honest and true. I've tried both, love the Audis interior more, but preferred the R on the road, it feels more nibble and fun! but the new Cupra R feels better again! and cheaper than both. I think the best middle ground is the Golf, but thats just my opinion. Cheers for the reviews!
Thanks mate! Have had quite a few people vouching for the Cupra now, might have to check one out to see what the hype is about 👍🏼
S3 sounds a lot better when you revved it! (I know it's done more miles) but defiantly want an S3 soon!!
Sick video , what wrong with the dislikes?? Only video out there ! Superb pal :)
Thanks pal! :) And I know theres always a bitter few, ah well
Great video bro! Just one thing, you could maybe add background instrumentals while doing the panning shots in the intro. Otherwise great work keep it up!
OMG that gray R!!!🔥🔥🔥
Sick video as always mate! On the close up shots of the cars, might be worth putting a bit of music on over the top so it's a bit more engaging 😊
Nice one mate! Yeah I usually put music in all my videos and with this one i thought i'd take a break, but it seems everyone loves having a bit of music during the fancy shots :)
Nice review man. Just found your channel and just subscribed ;)
Awesome man thanks! Glad you found my videos, Welcome :)
Enjoying them so far. Gonna watch some more now man :))
7.5R looks too sexy, and bro channel kicking off!
Yeah bro channel is growing way more than I expected! 7.5R does look really good
TR Hamza I'm looking for a 7.5 GTD deal! Im dying for those new lights and that virtual cockpit..
man that Golf is beautiful!
top cars ! nice vid thumbs up from germany ! :)
Thank you! Very cool that you're watching from Germany :)
Good vid brother keep it up
VW group ...I love!!!
Hi another awesome video thank you 😊👍
Thanks pal :)
We have an old Renault Laguna Diesel from 2008 Euro4. So with the new Diesel Scrappage scheme that both Audi and VW are offering as an incentive, we can still get the normal dealer discount and another £4000 on top of the dealer discount, off either a Golf R or S3, this means that we could now get a peasant specced Golf R 5dr for a touch under £26K or an Audi S3 for around £27K, which is nearly £8K discount! This has to be a fantastic deal on either car. On a side note, the Audi scrappage deal and discounts are even bigger for A4's, so with all the discounts and Scrappage allowance we could even get an £50K S4 for only £36K. A £14K discount is pretty amazing.
Great video! Keep it up.
+Michael Jeffs Thank you mate will do!
I'm pretty sure that the torque peak isn't at the max rev that's why it's changing up as you perceive early. It's giving the max performance.
Really enjoyed watching this. Great comparison. I'm hunting for some good Golf R lease deals.
Haider A really deals out there ! But I couldn't wait 4 months for the car
Glad you enjoyed the comparison mate! Hopefully some proper deals come out for you!
Loving the colour of the Golf.
Ordered my new R couple of weeks ago.. Time has passed by and i havent been thinking much of it.. But now I want it immediately. Great review! New sub here!
One question though, do you know if the DSG7 is more tolerant to higher NM torque or its the same as the 6-speed?
I have the mark 7 R in grey got it in December! Great fun! Face lift doesn't look too different but I do like the digital speedos
The videos are banging!! The only youtuber that knows the details of cars! Keep it up bro
Thanks bro!! I just love talking about cars!
loving it!
Golf R seats are amazing especially for those of us 6++ footers!
Slms- i have 2015 s3 sedan revo stage 2 and my best friend has golf 7r with exactly the same mods- he always says the s3 is louder, especially the pops on upshift. I really like the facelift crackle on downshift. These cars move properly with stAge 2(we have cooler intake downpipe software tcu tune 034 dogbone vidi p3 gauge and H&R springs) i have 20inch OZ rims on my car. We def getting ready for stage 3! Really enjoyed the video- from south africa
Nice video Hamza
What a beast. nice color btw :)
Wicked video. I have a Golf GTi MK7. Have my eye on the Golf R next but also love the S3. Nice problem to have. 😎
Thanks mate, yeah it is a nice problem to have for sure haha, can't go wrong with either!
Great vid, mate. Golf R is a fine car, I like it - just think that the squarish surround for the virtual cockpit makes it a bit 70s looking - more curves needed perhaps. BTW, with the temperatures warming up, my S3 is starting to sound even more WOW!! Is yours too?? All the best old pal!!
Thanks Ian! Golf R is great indeed. Yeah interior is a bit more square looking than S3 but still quite cool nevertheless, I really liked the facelift upgrades! And yes pal my S3 is also sounding very nice lately, as seen in video! All the best - Hamza
great video. keep it up sir
Danny Johnson Thanks pal will do 👍🏼
Kool thanks for the reply .. greetings from Jamaica
@TR Hamza I have the MY66 S3, I find if you drive for 5 mins or so in comfort setting then move over to dynamic it pops on the down shifts. Sometimes starting off in dynamic it doesn't always bang. Thoughts?
Great video 👍
Thanks!
The inside of the golf looks clean asf
Great video...I really enjoyed it....I think the S3 is a fantastic car...Although my ideal dream car would be an RS3...I currently drive a mk 6 Golf R with 330bhp and that is very nice drive and it will take a few $$$ to upgrade to an Audi or. Mk 7 R
hey bro loving the videos u doing a great job. both these cars r nearly identical but it's personal preference if u choose one over the other . if I'm honest i wud have the s3 looks and sounds better but that's just my preference.
Thank you for the feedback bro. And yes both cars are almost identical and comes down to what you want at the end of the day. Both great.
Top vid and bless guys.
I was looking to purchase a Golf R Wolfsburg (in Australia is a fully loaded R) after watching your vid but VW had significant delays which forced me elsewhere. This made me chose the S3 instead (White, Black Pack, 19' wheels and Magnetic Ride).... ......and I am glad I did, as it is sensational. Thanks for the review. If you every get around to chipping your S3, I would be keen to know the difference and best options!
Always rate your honest vids mate, any chance you can do a vid on a Golf R estate in comparison to the Cupra estate as I need an estate because of dogs but not sure which one is best, any thoughts please?????
Will we ever see Mo back on the channel? Seems a top geezer 👍
Both awesome cars and i like the Golf's colour it fits very very well
Both sound similar after all both have Volksvagen engine
B.t.w nice video dude :-)
good video m8👊
Thanks mate!
I really hope we get option of those suede/cloth seats in MK7.5 R in Canada. And a sunroof option please! MK7 was all leather, no roof. The 7.5 refresh looks best on the R IMO. Those new grills and headlights look sharp! I own a 2015 MK7 GTI now.
Hi Bro , please do a video to compare the s3 facelift vs s3 pre-facelift .id love know the power difference on the road
Nice video, just got one question, the insulation thing in the inside of the bonnet, wont cause any damage if i take it off my leon? Look forward to hearing from you
Nice video, any chance of a comparison between a golf r and the cupra 300?
If you want more intake noise you should also take off the weather strip (or whatever they call it, you can find it on google)! It makes a bigger difference than the hood insulation.
looks nice with the pretoria wheels and in a proper grey, that limestone looked brown in some lights. the front of the old one looked more aggressive tho with the double u drl's. hopefully they smash out some £200 a month lease deals so i can jump back in one :)
Very smart in this spec for sure, facelift still does look quite aggressive in person, the joint U front indicators look pretty mean
Nice vid. Do you know the pricing of the performance pack? Is leather seats optional? Noticed there is no keyless start. Optional as well I'm assuming?
nice videos man... just subscribed
Thanks man!
I got my Golf R yesterday...Lapiz Blue!
Your mate has a great name no homo and i think his car just made me decide on buying one myself
This looks like it was filmed at David Lloyds Chigwell and then the country lanes near Top Golf, Chigwell
