    It wasn’t until last night that I realised after I bought my Golf R last week, it’s the same colour and spec as the one in your vid that I loved years ago and now I have my own!! Only thing different is mines a 3 door.

    Great job 1 1/2 years later Ricky! I bought my '17 Golf R in part due to your review and reply to my comment back in '16. This is still one of your best vids to me. I drove the '18 R yesterday and I'm not sure if specs are different over here in USA but it felt pretty much the same as my '17 in race mode, you seemed to think the '18 was much quicker?
    Keep up the great work man!

You were very direct, covered a bunch of features that other review channels miss out on, spoke your heart and mind and said what YOU truly felt (I didn't feel like you were just sitting there trying to just get the next paycheck), and you managed to do all of that without boring me. Great things to you and I hope you continue this channel and keep making great content!

    Hey Ricky - been subscribed since this video came out and have been watching you since, but I watch this one the most.

Thanks for making that decision an easy one and keep up the great work with the passion you put into this channel. Cheers.

  • @93455Driver
    @93455Driver 7 лет назад +11

    Great video. The R is the best daily, interior is top notch, great ride for the street and tight build quality. The RS has the power and trick GKN twinster set up, plus has a really taunt suspension. Much as I like the RS for its power and handling, as a daily prefer the R.

    • @D3nchanter
      @D3nchanter 7 лет назад +1

      even for the track, with better tires (which everyone does on track), and probably something simple like a tune... the RS falls behind the R. they both handle fantastically, but the R loses a slight notch to the torsen's awd response time (you're talking portions of an inch of slip in difference for response at these speeds, and at higher speeds, the haldex responds quicker closing the gap between the two).
      even for the track, overall i'd still recommend the vw for pretty much everything, especially quality and long term usage.

    Sweet review. Very professional feel with the editing, script was exiting and the reviewer was passionate. Although you guys might want to boost his voice a bit in relation to the music. Keep going, cheers!

    Love your review style Ricky. Really love the r and agree that it is a super "do it all" daily driver. Would be a bargain in comparison to the M2 or '12 Targa4s that are also on my list. Got to be a manual though. I will be watching your other reviews. Perfect length and content. REALLY well done. Thanks.

    Awesome job Ricky, one of the best reviews of golf MK VII R by far, very comprehensive and informative.
    Used to own a Sirocco R and loved it before it was totalled in an accident and was a bit on the fence about my new Golf R MKVII and if I made the right decision but after watching this review I am convinced I made the right decision.
    Cheers for a great job mate. Btw you got another sub
