I have the 128ti in the UK with 265ps and 400nm. It definitely feels quicker than the Golf GTI Performance DSG that I had for 3 years. That car had the same 245ps and 370nm of the new standard Golf GTI.
Guys good work. (next time swap drivers, as each driver has his own skills, maybe the results will change as the drivers are swapped, and also please do a 3 out of 3 always for drags etc, to get an avergae result.). Other than that, i have no complaints, may the channel grow and prosper🙏
you sound defeated..vw fans are noisy too much i am happy they have been silenced, didnt you hear him say they did many runs before the one they aired and vw kept beaten, that gti is a loser
There's room for improvement... I feel like when you guys run these cars off camera you think we are watching. We want infact I want to see more than one attempt coz it looks like the GTi wasn't ready. Great video kodwa
@@WaseemKhan-iu4bh it has to be given a headstart to take on the Beemer, that's the only way. Superficial if you ask me. From 0, it gets toasted. We all saw it.
If you guys think one was faster than the other you need to watch the videos again. They are pretty even. One little slip of greasy hair gel fingers on your flappy paddle could mean a win or loss
Great video and comparison but would like to know why the Golf pulls back for a split second when it changes to 2... Thats effects the time and race...
I wonder what the result would be without traction control? I tend to turn it off when racing my Polo GTI since it just interferes too much; I can manage the throttle and boost in a way that gives my enough traction without bogging the car down. It's a vastly different car from these machines, of course, but I am curious if the results would be any different in this case.
I recently got the 128ti, and had the mk 7.5 GTI Performance DSG before that for 3 years. Both cars with passive dampers. The 128ti is distinctly firmer, so less forgiving on a potholed or just uneven surface for sure. However, it feels more refined overall, and more planted on the road. It corners significantly flatter than the mk 7.5 GTI Performance. I have not driven the mk 8 GTI, and that may be as equally refined as the 128ti.
High quality video. BMW is going to challenge a GTI is not ahealthy war for BMW a lot of rivals had come and go the GTI remains unshaken . Look at what happened to benz when they think they can challenge a Toyota hilux they failed miserably .it not about premium badges here it all about reputation and street cred and vrrphaa has a massive fan base here in southern Africa
True a very competitive segment and GTi has been holding the title, for healthy market we need competition and thumps to Bmw for taking the challenge and so far the Ti has received positive reviews from car critics
Really all that development on its 8th generation and the new front wheel drive BMW gave it a hiding from launch... and sitting with it on rolling....nooooooooo the dislikes are GTi buyers for sure!
Agreed. I am in the UK and have a 128ti that replaced my previous mk 7.5 Golf GTI Performance. The 128ti feels stronger thanks to its 265ps and 400nm compared to the 245ps and 370nm of my old Golf. And, as you no doubt know, the mk 8 GTI also has 245ps and 370nm.
I am not surprised with the result as there is no outright winner because th2 two are very similar in many ways like power, torque and weight. . . . .In fact big up to BMW for doing it right the first time not as apologetic as A250 Sport
I bought one over the new Golf, and I had the mk 7.5 GTI Performance DSG for three years. The new mk 8 Golf interior was the decider for me. Plastic touchscreen nightmare, not in the same class as the BMW interior. And the 128ti was a little cheaper per month to lease as well.
@@ziphozonkemadlala8040 I hope so. My GTI was ok, but started to develop odd electrical faults in the last 6 months I had it. Adaptive cruise malfunctions, the horn lost half its tone and sounded like a kids toy, false tyre pressure warnings etc.

Iwill keep some alcol if you wish. Thangs.
I think it's public knowledge now that BMW 128 ti is faster than Golf ntonnton GTI, but I somehow feel like Golf needed a second chance, I believe it could have got better results.
If it had Michelin Pilot Sport 4S then the GTI would've performed much more better, the tyres it has from the factory are not as good as the ones in the 128ti which are Michelin's
Overall who actually won. On papier BMW. From stand stil BMW ...are you guys giving it a best out of 3????🤔🤔 and what about the ultimate decider. What car is more fun until the fuel light comes on? Too much unanswered Too much questions after G8 had so much hype around it while no one noticed that BmW
Ohh a sneak peak at the background there. I see my favorite little hatchback monster The Toyota GR yaris mmmm! Can't wait for that video that car is going to smoke the gti and the beemer I can see that happening
There is an Australian channel that did a drag race with the new GTi that had the same issue. Eventually they bettered the factory claimed time (they did 6.2 sec) by switching traction off and dropping from a lower rev than the launch holds it at.
Was patiently waiting for, "so then what exactly happened"😏
Hahaha😂😂😂🙌🏽

The FACT that the golf is able to reel in the BMW is mad impressive!!!No car is a bad choice between these two vehicles.I’m really impressed!

In Europe the difference will be even greater. The European 128ti comes as standard with more power and torque... at 195kw and 400nm.

You are absolutely correct

They do multiple takes, the GTi does not take off well. Blame VW.
There's another Video were the GTI gets rocked by the 128t.
BRILLIANT drag race as always !
GREAT work ! 😃💪👍
Thank you so much !
Yoh I've been waiting months for this one
Bit disappointed with the Golf though... I know the driver wasn't the problem 😁
I'm sure the golf can do better
Exciting race this.. The standing start had me at the edge of my seat. I really wanted the BMW to win. And it did.😃
Nice one mate. 🙌
Great video👌
BMW fan here! I'm happy seeing the GTI getting toasted! 😂😁
Great work by the Beemer. I hope that Toyota GR does the same.
Great vid, Ash and Ciro!
GTI is a hype not a reality and only good to its owners until it meets its rivals
How did it get toasted? The GTI is faster as it won the rolling race not to mention it has less torque and weighs more than the bmw 🤷♂️
@@WaseemKhan-iu4bh it has to be given a headstart to take on the Beemer, that's the only way. Superficial if you ask me.
From 0, it gets toasted. We all saw it.

Yeah. Full review of the Ti please, thx.
0:54 Nice Yaris GR cameo!
You guys are hilarious 😂😂 great video
Great video and comparison but would like to know why the Golf pulls back for a split second when it changes to 2... Thats effects the time and race...
Hasn't Carwow done this three months ago? Glad we are doing our version in Mzansi. Stay warm and safe in Gqeberha
We need a review comparison 🙏🏻
The Golf was coming
I coundnt agree with you more when you say the best put out drage race. Evenly matched indeed

Good point. They should have tried that.
love the intro
I smile every time I watch a GTI review.
Great vid gents. Would have liked to see the sprint times.
You flippen nailed Gqeberha bro
shittest meaningless name
Fastest Tyre warmup I've ever seen
You've got to know how to use the DSG from 1st to 2nd. Otherwise it's wheel spin.
The name of the circuit needs a Degree in Linguistics Yoh...! 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🤞🏽
The area is Gqeberha, the track is Aldo Scribante tata
Ciro & Ash racing. Day made! 💥🤙🏻😁
That was fun!!! Thanks
Great content as usual. However the price comparison was not mentioned

But BMW has been doing hatchbacks for a while now although the formula has changed so I don't think they will have any problems competing

Your intro line though😂😂😂😂✌🏾
I’m team BMW 128ti ///M
i can not wait for that one
I wish we got the Beemer here in the US
Awesome!!! Please also do an in-depth comparison of the two cars. BMW 128ti is reported to be a better all round car.
You nailed the pronounciation
When golf 8r come then there must be a drag between a golf 8r vs m340i

would you kindly please have the stats displayed on the screen while you talk about them, pretty please asb
so close, the Golf Looks better and sounds better.
BMW is always ready to smash other cars
can you please pull the impossible ( M5 competition vs GT63s )
that GR yaris wil eat up that golf, and the beema as well
I was alongside a GR Yaris on the road the other day in my new 128ti. The guy roared off, weaving in between traffic like a lunatic. I left him to it.
The 128ti has been detuned in South africa due to it being a hot weather country. In the UK the 128ti would have beaten it by miles.
Agreed. I am in the UK and have a 128ti that replaced my previous mk 7.5 Golf GTI Performance. The 128ti feels stronger thanks to its 265ps and 400nm compared to the 245ps and 370nm of my old Golf. And, as you no doubt know, the mk 8 GTI also has 245ps and 370nm.
What are the 1/4mile times gents!? Great video none the less
hosh next video gn wors en chops wees. but where are the 1/4 times?
I am not surprised with the result as there is no outright winner because th2 two are very similar in many ways like power, torque and weight. . . . .In fact big up to BMW for doing it right the first time not as apologetic as A250 Sport
Does the gti have port and direct injection?
Gti's are better off not using Launch control, press the accelerator half way on the take off to avoid losing traction then floor it. 💯✔️✅
Can Ash please be given a GTI, Ciro did the same thing on TCR on the 400m sprint.I think Ciro is making VW looks bad.
Please do a comparison from golf 5 to 8 GTI 1/4 mile race with times .. would be interesting to watch
We already know that the 5 is slower than the 6 and the 6 is slower than the 7 and so on
please put stats in the description
We will add that, thank you
Hi everyone it’s Matt here from Carwow
Wow, Marius nailed Qhebera
Good stuff. Would be even better if you post 1/4 mile times.
So which car is faster?

Hope this make you smile. The Golf 8 Is not allowed to be driven by Journalist in the USA yet.
