While I absolutely wanted this over the 40th anniversary GTI I have, all local dealers wanted 15k over. Got the GTI at msrp. Had one dealer drop to 10k over on the R. That was still a 22k premium over my GTI. The value just wasn’t there for me. Look forward to the content.
I paid only 3k over . I totally learned this car purchase that when you don’t give a dam and you’re seriously willing to walk away you will get whatever you want. I have all maintenance free for 3 years. Free tints and 2 t shirts . I paid 51k and traded in my truck that I got 10k for so I’m happy
Dude this is so sick! Congratulations! I’ve driven a stock MK 7.5R and that thing was a beast. People say that the MK8 is even better. Can’t wait for all the content you’re gonna make with this car 🔥
@@JVette01 the torque vectoring rear diff is the true highlight of the new R in my opinion. The fact that you can now make a 4 cyl Golf drift is insane 🤯
honestly.... GOLF R is too much understated... they should really make it more menacing and wider than a regular GOLF... especially with the prices they're asking for on these..
Wasn't expecting you get something new so soon. You are probably half my age and I still have never spent that type of money on a car. Maybe one day when I grow up lol. Congratulations the car is a beast.
I really wish they would have stayed with the previous color for the R. The Oryx White. The black wheels do have a nice contrast. This is truly luxury. Lumbar, that driver seat and adjustments is premium for sure and those rear climate controlled vents and a Golf? That's crazy. Those brakes are definitely premium, they are massive. And that Carbon Fiber. wow. Expensive, yes, but this is a lot of car.
Congratulations! She’s a beauty. You should definitely use the air care feature that came with the car. When someone in the car makes a big “air biscuit” and it smells like ass or when you’re passing a diesel truck, you could just turn it on and poof it’s gone.
Very nice dude unfortunately because of those 10k markups on the R you are very fortunate to have one . I have yet to see one in NY,NJ on the road LOL. Good luck dude
Congratulations on the new car. I've been watching a few of your videos on the 2022 VW GTI S. I'm kind of looking at that myself. I feel like the S model has everything I want for the most part and is a a good value for the price. Plus I'm not seeing big mark-ups over MSRP on those either.
YOOOOO I just got a mk7.5 and was cross shopping the mk8 both GTI. But I added up all my expenses/mods since then and if I were to do it over again. I would NOT pay to have it coated ($600 for me) and I would NOT go for the nicer tint at the tint shop and instead use a Facebook guy ($950 full car windshield and sunroof) and I would instead CLEAR BRA it first. Then get it coated sometime later on. So consider it!
I wasted money on a ceramic coating for my GTI.. didn’t know I’d trade it so fast haha but I’m not gonna spend any other money on it. Car expenses add up quick 😂
did your Golf R come with a rear license plate bracket?.. I just took delivery of mine, and there's no bracket in the rear whatsoever for a license place and I don't want to be drilling holes..
Beautiful car .. one of my favorite car its fast and you gonna kick some ass in streets 😂..lets go roll race with my stage 2 ..congratulations buddy..👍👍
@JVette01 It's nice to see someone making great content on our vehicles, I look forward to seeing the R in Mexico soon. My DA was 141 when it did a 0-60 run of 4.17 without 1ft rollout and a 1/4 mile time of 12.41. This was a few miles after the 1K break-in period, and the car has zero mods, except me. 😂
I’m glad I don’t have a moonroof. More weight savings, structure, and better head room. However, I do wish the exhaust was louder since it’s does have a valve.
as someone who has a 22 gti i've been thinking about making the switch. Right now my payment is 500/month/5year (didnt put a whole lot down). Idk if i could stomach a 5 year 7-800 a month car payment
@JVette01 did you ever make a video on it? I have 2024 gti 380se trying to trade up to golf r wanna see potential differences in financial stuff even if it's a rough estimate I am in north east tons of snow in Buffalo area I haven't even taken delivery yet tried to change at last min and dealership won't budge on swapping it
Very nice! I will say, they are damn quick and handle quite well. My ONLY complaint about the newer GTI/R's is they feel so mundane to be honest. My WRX feels rather mundane compared to my old stage 3+ Focus ST as well. People call them refined, I consider them quick but simple. I figured you'd end up in an R though, considering you liked the GTI so much. Can't wait to see the content with it. I am really interested in a protuned VB wrx vs that R. Nice car man!
Thanks! I actually like the premium feel for a daily driver. There’s times when a rwd v8 or something would be fun but for a daily/fun car all in one, I think this one does it!
@@JVette01 That's EXACTLY why I have a VB WRX now. My Focus ST was epic in the summer. Ran about 285/400, it was really fun until the snow hit. Even with some decent winter treads it was a handful. The WRX, hopefully acts like the wifes 2018 Impeza, should be a bit better. I miss that insane hit of torque from the ST and just how unrefined it was. It literally felt like my highschool car, a 1991 RS Camaro. Just absolutely wild, hard to control, and absolute fun. The WRX... It's just decent and easy to drive. I may get into a Mustang GT in a couple years though. I want to see you race a protuned VB and a S550 Mustang GT.
@@JVette01 I bet it would be like most v8 pony cars. Driver mod would be the key here. I've driven a stock 2019 down the track on PS4's.. that thing was insane with the A10 I was able to get a 12.4 on an "ok" prep and newer tires in the back. I've been faster, but for a STOCK car.. wow. Now I'd like to see the R go down the strip as well. Would definitely be cool to watch, but I can almost assure you, the R will decimate the s550 in turns.
Wow how tall are you? I'm 6'5" 300 pounds with a size 16 shoe and I have a MK4.:R32 and a MK6 Golf.:R and I fit perfectly with the sunroofs. I'm a track rat and even with my helmet on I have plenty of room up top to spare and never hit the sunroof on track.
I was working at a dealer and still couldn’t get my hands on a 8 Golf R. They sold the one we’re were supposed to get in 4 months in advance for over 25k MSRP, definitely robbing people

@bradava1 was it recent when it was quoted 15k over?
@@rich2579 go in there and mean business the way I did my friend and you just might come out of there fortunate
Congrats. I have an R 20th in black manual. By the way, the carbon fiber trim is not faux it is 100% carbon.
That’s great to know! Thanks
Congratulations! I made a similar move last year from a GTI S to a 22 Golf R. It’s a big step up. Enjoy!
Indeed! Thank you!
Dude this is so sick! Congratulations! I’ve driven a stock MK 7.5R and that thing was a beast. People say that the MK8 is even better. Can’t wait for all the content you’re gonna make with this car 🔥
Thank you for the support! Lots of videos to come
@@JVette01 the torque vectoring rear diff is the true highlight of the new R in my opinion. The fact that you can now make a 4 cyl Golf drift is insane 🤯
Can’t wait to try it out?
Very nice, I viewed all your gti videos last year before I went to get one. Good to hear that you get a new golf R.
Thank you for sticking with me!
Congrats man! We're twins lol traded my 22 S also for my 20ae
Btw the 20th AE has real carbon fiber not fake. The regular R has faux CF
That’s what I’ve learned from the comments. The salesman told me but I thought he was just saying that lol
honestly.... GOLF R is too much understated... they should really make it more menacing and wider than a regular GOLF... especially with the prices they're asking for on these..
That would be cool if it was wider but it does have unique facias obviously
I see where your coming from but I love how under ther radar the r is to most people. Doesn’t draw crazy attention especially from the 👮♂️
Wasn't expecting you get something new so soon. You are probably half my age and I still have never spent that type of money on a car. Maybe one day when I grow up lol. Congratulations the car is a beast.
I know I wasn’t expecting it either but I told my salesperson to let me know if he gets an R available 😂
I really wish they would have stayed with the previous color for the R. The Oryx White. The black wheels do have a nice contrast. This is truly luxury. Lumbar, that driver seat and adjustments is premium for sure and those rear climate controlled vents and a Golf? That's crazy. Those brakes are definitely premium, they are massive.

Congrats man! Maybe next year i might switch to the R, but right now im still enjoying my mk8.
Awesome!
Now the real questions, how much more is your payment - what was the markup price?
That will be gone over in a future video!
Congratulations! She’s a beauty. You should definitely use the air care feature that came with the car. When someone in the car makes a big “air biscuit” and it smells like ass or when you’re passing a diesel truck, you could just turn it on and poof it’s gone.

Very nice dude unfortunately because of those 10k markups on the R you are very fortunate to have one . I have yet to see one in NY,NJ on the road LOL. Good luck dude
Thank you!
Get yourself a 2024 Bmw 240i XDrive and call it a day!
I’m definitely getting this in 2 years when I finish paying off my Mustang GT. Planning on keeping it and getting this.
That would be a nice lineup!
Awesome practical review! First time for me considering a new Golf. How come you have Ford plate frame?
Just wanted to represent the dealership I work for while I have temp tags on
Awesome dude! I bought my 40th AE GTI so far and I love it!
Awesome!!
Congratulations on the new car. I've been watching a few of your videos on the 2022 VW GTI S. I'm kind of looking at that myself. I feel like the S model has everything I want for the most part and is a a good value for the price. Plus I'm not seeing big mark-ups over MSRP on those either.
Great car!
On the 20th Anniversary R's it is true carbon fiber on the interior bits, not "faux". I love how much mention racing and launches in Mexico, haha!
😂
What % of tints do you have applied on this?
70% windshield, 15% front, 5% rear windows
I have a white 20th as well. Bought it at the end of April. Fantastic car! Great video
Awesome! Thanks
Congrats on the upgrade! The MK8 R is amazing mechanically. Did you get it at sticker or did they have a dealer markup?
Look at my most recent video.
I got mine for 5k over MSRP, 20th AE same color
YOOOOO

Just picked mine up today. Paid a 2k markup which sucks but isn't the end of the world.
Congrats!
Did you by chance sit in and/or consider buying a gr corolla, instead of the golf r? I am torn between the two, and am also somewhat tall.
I did, but I will be honest, I’m not a huge fan of the looks of the GR Corolla and the Golf R is way more luxurious and faster.
Congrats on the new golf R! As dirty as it may be, white is just classic gti
Thanks!
congrats on the golf R. gonna be an insane daily if u tune it
It feels good already! Thanks
Don't void the warranty.
did your Golf R come with a rear license plate bracket?.. I just took delivery of mine, and there's no bracket in the rear whatsoever for a license place and I don't want to be drilling holes..
Mine came with a bracket so you’ll have to drill your own holes
Taking delivery tomorrow on mines, what tint did you do on yours?
15 front, 5 rear, 70 windshield.
Looks good, might do the same
hell yeah, a golf r mk8, these things are awesome, congrats on the new car my man.
Thank you!
Congratulations gorgeous car.
Thanks!
@@JVette01 You're welcome.
Congrats🎉🎉🎉on the new golf R!!!
Thanks!
Congratulations did u pay msrp ?
I will go over all of that in a future video. Stay tuned!
I just picked up a black 20th! Congrats bro
Nice!
Congratulations! I also will be getting one soon in black. How do you like it so far?
@@faust606rodman5 not bad
Awesome man!! That R looks like a ton of fun!
Thanks! It’s a blast so far ;)
Sweet rider brother , enjoy ! 👍

Trust me, we will once I get these break in miles haha
@@JVette01 im waiting 😂😂👍👍
Congratulations, I have a white 22 R. Get a dragy performance meter it's pretty accurate.
Nice! I have a dragy already ;)
@JVette01 Cool, I've done a few 0-60 and 1/4 mile times if you want to compare for reference 😉.
@@racer247 What times were you getting?
@JVette01 It's nice to see someone making great content on our vehicles, I look forward to seeing the R in Mexico soon.

Nice!
I’m glad you like the car.
However, all I can think about is how much negative equity and markup went into this purchase. 😬
Future video coming out on that. Subscribe and stay tuned 😏
How much of a market adjust did you pay for your R?
15,000. Sike. I’ll go over that in a future video. Stay tuned!
Why do they cheap out on all these “special editions”? Where’s the moonroof? Where’s the better than an Elantra exhaust?
I’m glad I don’t have a moonroof. More weight savings, structure, and better head room. However, I do wish the exhaust was louder since it’s does have a valve.
@@JVette01 congrats for being successful and able to afford my dream car (almost cause I like the moonroof lol), thank you for a quick reply.

So nice. I'm so jellie😂
Thanks!
The carbon fiber trim is real.
Nice to know!
Niice and congrats
Thanks!
🔥🔥🔥
A lot quicker over gti for sure lol good choice
We’ll see by how much. Mexico runs and dragy tests coming in the future ;)

No excuse for a dirty car,,,
