However this review is not about just ANY CAR - It's the 40 Year Anniversary GTI !!! - I own it! Check it on my Channel. I'ts Legendary! Every other review you'll find on RUclips says the same.
For me .. i spent 48 hours thinking of choosing between the golf r or the gti clubsport. in the end .. i choose the clubsport, and the reason why i didnt choose the golf r is because the exterior color was white and the interior was black and white is available in the store, and if i ordered a special order for the color i wanted to be, i have to wait 5 month. finally i think about it, that the golf r i can find a lot in the street, either the normal gti more and more common in the street, in each and every street. So the clubsport was the right choice for me because its unique and it wont be made every year, its a 40 anniversary car. moreover, when i drove this clubsport for the first time i was wondering why i was confused by the golf r or the clubsport! because this car is allover in a another level! CLUBSPORT IS THE RIGHT CHOICE ;)
Most likely this is in the top 10 of being the best video reviews I've seen on youtube.... the scenery, soundtrack, reviewer's energy, video choreography. All outstanding. ..and I'm not a fan of the car..
Bonga Dlamini im coming from Golf GT R-Line wonderful manual... But test drove & ordered this GTI Clubsport now with DSG & its just beyond awesome!! insane quick & smooth shifting!!
Sometimes I do forget how Beautiful our country is... and you guys really do know how to remind us. Have you done the M4? Kindly share a link. Great show by the way.
Whoever is in charge of tourism in the Western Cape should be hopefully be paying you guys,coz everytime I watch one of your videos I just wanna get into my car and drive down there.But then I realize its 1600 kilos from Jozi,sooo nevermind.wonderful stuff as always!
Better than an golf r wow what a bold statement. Love your review man always quality and full of humour. I believe it time your ll venture to television and have a show your ll run cause your ll the best
Just Test Drove the Clubsport today! This car is a BEAST!!! If your not used to speed monsters, go easy on the pedal... Just sayin´ for you faint hearted people!!! Ohh, and apart from the looks, the sound is Friggin AWESOME !!! Will go speak options tommorow!
Some years later... Looking at Price and Performance of Golf 8 GTi Vs This Thinking to myself this is a great bargain especially with those ticked options 😊
Nice narration Ciro!!! Have seen this video over 5x... Totally love it... Keep it up... Do test the GTI Clubsport S son and do drag races with it..... James from Malaysia
would you lads choose this car or the 2.3L ecoboost mustang? Which one actually puts out more power when looking at the weights of the cars and all? Can anyone help please? Thanks a bunch. Bruno
Oh lord!! this is by far the best review on the CS GTi. As for the price, GTi's have never been cheap, you only understand why once you own one. Suddenly the Golf R seems feeble.
okay so the Alfa Guilietta 1750i has 176kw from a sub 1.8litre turbo the Mk7 GTI has 160kw from a 2.0litre turbo but now the club sport has 190kw but for 10 seconds only it has 213kw .... ( for R600k I'm buying 213kw for 10 seconds) I'd rather go buy a A45 Amg for that money ... or a Golf R or the first 2 that I mentioned and chip them
Zaheed Peer nothing really for that in Gauteng. Drive over to Harties or take a weekend trip to Dullstroom or Clarens for driving pleasure. Some beautiful roads there
is the a limit to the production numbers of the clubsport, and i dont mean the clubsport 'S' I understand its only going tobe in production till end of the year or something along those lines.
Roberto Ramon Id say DCC & DSG if you wanna go quick! (as well as smooth). Maby a few extra Airbags... ;) Though i ordered it with a few more options like Sunroof & Dynaudio 400W system which are "must haves" for me. Personally i thought the bucket seats were way to stiff, so i went Leather Interior (No Must just nice). Back camera & Keyless Acess are not either directly must-haves, but can both add to coolness factor & practicality i think.. :)
You should make an Insta page for this channel, with these shots you could put small videos on Insta or pics and post them and then you might be able to promote your reviews, just saying it might be a good idea
curseknight5 Most GTI drivers could careless about curves and bends and all that, its all about going fast in a straight line. Infact most people are too scared of going around bends at 100km/h, waste.
What these car makers do with pricing is absolutely criminal, no limited edition car should have optional extras. Any such model car should have all available extras.
Normal overboost is 10 seconds, but if you engage launch control, it will force the engine to boost it for 20 seconds, so that you accelerate even faster (like in a drag race).
How dare you undermine the golf 7 R like that?! you said it yourself.. the clubsport is based on the R... the golf R is basically the clubsport's daddy... and still does 0-100 in a much quicker time... and also, did you notice the R badge on the clubsport's engine cover? Il give the clubsport props on one thing.. those beautiful bucket seats. pretty cool review though, great job
Only an idiot will spec the bucket seats. You lose the armrest and heated seats, and the bucket seats are not even leather, like the standard ones. All this for a higher price
Im gonna have one like this with 3 doors and a manual, i live in belgium. Same color :) There is not much difference with this one and the S version, it has more power because of a software tune...
I ordered it mid Mai. So 3 months and a half which is very good. Have seen a handful that got it faster but most got it much later. Some people with orders from February dont see the light yet. In my defense, I ordered with a Manual (over 80% are DSG), Leather seats (i dont care for the buckets really - over 90%) and no black roof (over 80%). So I would assume my car didnt go through the line exactly like most go - and for the same reason wouldn't get as easily stuck in production. This is me being theoretical :-)
this dude will make u fall inlove with any car ..
awesome sales man... for all cars

You live and work in a beautiful country and your reviews are among the best out there, from any country....

Hamoud Alzayed ok
Own one, marvelous car not even thinking of upgrading to the Golf 8, the clubsport just ticks all the boxes
😂 fuel consumption 😅😅😅

Handsome Mauritian S Exactly. On my Top 3 - Probably Nr1. Nr2 is a Ferrari Spider Review from italy, driving in curvy mountains.
Handsome Mauritian S yah like it's almost top gear/Grand Tour level
"The red paint, it's lovely isn't it?" Thus guy is amazing😂
gorgeous car in stunning scenery - that's what I call a proper review!
thank you!
the best club sport review, thanks for the video
Honestly after driving a dsg why do u want a manual
Bonga Dlamini im coming from Golf GT R-Line wonderful manual... But test drove & ordered this GTI Clubsport now with DSG & its just beyond awesome!! insane quick & smooth shifting!!
Bonga Dlamini manual is fun
Love my country what a beautiful landscape wow, GTi is the only Car I'd buy over and over!
your reviews are on point. top notch and jus superb. well done and keep it up! proudly SA

'Fuel consumption...No one cares' 😂😂
actually yeah, the fuel consumption is more than aweful -.-'
The fuel consumption is excellent for such a fast car. VW claims 7.0l /100km, combined.
Fuel consumption is at around 10 - 11 liters/100 km for most users.
unidentified in reality 7.0 litres is minimal, not combined!
SunLoverMan yeah, you right.
Your work on earth is done.Will always miss you my Role model.R.I.P.Till we meat again
Great video dude!
Great review and awesome views!!! Thanks a lot, can't wait to see your CS-S review...

As a MK7 owner, you wouldn't be disappointed. I think the MK7's look better than the new MK8 too.
@@RJYOUNG396 But the issue is the performance of the 7 GTi. With this Clubsport you'd still walk away from Golf 8 GTi

Your videos are not well great... They absolutely Beautiful! Just wow! This is ART! Simply stunning! Wow Wow Wow!
Is the TCR not better now?
Can we get a head to head of the Golf 7 R vs Golf 7 GTI clubsport
M still in love with this car 5 years later
Wondering if the US will get any mk7 special edition Gti
what a beatifully shot video!
a literal art!
as a current mk7 gti owner what do i say about the clubsport ?
I... I... I NEEEEED IT !!!!
Still the best Golf 7 GTi Clubsport I have ever seen till this day ❤️since it dropped when I was still in grade 9
Hi wich one is the best dis new club sport or a45 amg or rs3 or rs.
Great car, even better shooting location, Wellington up the mountains on your way to 2de tol. What drone did you guys use for the video?
5:35 "people must know..." lol I love your reviews...
Hahaha, was going to comment the same.
MHBGT this guy always finds a way to make me laugh lol...
Yeah excellent fun review to watch! Thankfully a few people know its an Art! ;)
is it available in india
would you lads choose this car or the 2.3L ecoboost mustang? Which one actually puts out more power when looking at the weights of the cars and all? Can anyone help please? Thanks a bunch.

Too far for a drive out from gauteng... Where do you guys recommend driving in scenic and twisty roads in Gauteng ?
Zaheed Peer nothing really for that in Gauteng. Drive over to Harties or take a weekend trip to Dullstroom or Clarens for driving pleasure. Some beautiful roads there
Nice review man.
Just wondering, does it give u the feeling of bieng pushed back into ur seat on hard accelerarion?
How much the price & is there dual clutch?
Wook
r engine in gti body?
Track test soon?
why GTI club something when there is R? who is the target market here?
is the a limit to the production numbers of the clubsport, and i dont mean the clubsport 'S' I understand its only going tobe in production till end of the year or something along those lines.

What's the 'must' equipment needed in this car?
DCC, bucket seats, anything else?
the adaptive drive select...that's all
DCC is useless, you'd better install coilovers. Bucket seats is standart equipment.

3DFX sunroof is cool option but dynaudio is shit for money it costs. you can install another system for same money and get better sound!
How is the song / music named?

It worths the extra money?
Power wise maybe

Me too! Check on videos on my channel!
Same here
Cant wait to say the same in a year or so 💪🏾
3000 reverse camera??
will this car break down? is it reliable
Ashveer veerash short answer No!
Irv. GI. how u knw that?
hi
you should do a track battle with this and the R
I have one and i absolutely adore it
Kilowatts? You guys don't use the term hp?
For the same reason we use centimetres and kilograms. We use the metric system for everything.
Only 50 ? Why so little.
While the video is old...here is a list of mountain passes : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mountain_passes_of_South_Africa_by_province

Why would henceforth tell us the engine horsepower...
hey guys!, can you test the mazda mx5?
many thanks in advance!
how come GTIs don't get the flack about being front wheel drive like other cars...
curseknight5 Most GTI drivers could careless about curves and bends and all that, its all about going fast in a straight line. Infact most people are too scared of going around bends at 100km/h, waste.
curseknight5 because it’s always been like that
What these car makers do with pricing is absolutely criminal, no limited edition car should have optional extras. Any such model car should have all available extras.
This was the fastest front wheel drive production car raced on famous track in 🇩🇪
What is r w to the right to change your
R619 000?

Awaiting for the Focus RS review
Very beautiful car
It's a great hot hatch but at the end of the day,awd is superior.
Can be boring
between FWD vs AWD yes, buy RWD is best for fun and driving pleasure. I prefer the BMW 1 series to the Golf
like the song in the background
Another review on the same car said the overboost was for 20 seconds?!!!?
Normal overboost is 10 seconds, but if you engage launch control, it will force the engine to boost it for 20 seconds, so that you accelerate even faster (like in a drag race).
Yeah sorry thats what the other review said i remember now

Cars.co.za and motor trend are having a head 2 head on best cinematography. I thinks .co.za is winning tho
WV produced a beast
No, the beast is Clubsport S. The winner on Nurburgring track.
I have the same different bucket seats better 19” rims but with APR 1 boy this goes!!!!!
The golf R feels heavier? Yes. Bogged down by all wheel drive? No - in fact is stops it feeling bogged down in the wet
2 things I am not a fan of in the interior ...no arm rest..and electric handbreak
Eu as armrest
Has
not if you spec the bucket seats....
Only an idiot will spec the bucket seats. You lose the armrest and heated seats, and the bucket seats are not even leather, like the standard ones. All this for a higher price
unidentified bucket seats are standart equipment. and they have leather inserts.
Hopefully the Clubsport S comes in manual.
VW is creating ONLY manual Clubsport S GTI's. You're in luck ;)
The price though...i can get a used F10 M5 with less than 40 000km.
LOL, come on bro... who wan'ts a heavy used lump? But honestly, it's all about choice.
Not happening bra
I love the road beautiful
nice vw golfsport
You know what this so fabulous
And fast forward to 2022... R600 and something thousand sounds like a bargain, for a GTI.
nice car
I've always thought the GTI should share platform with the S3 and the R should share with RS3. if I was a 7R owner I'd be pissed off!!!
this GTi doesnt even come close to the S3 lol...expensive crap
Masoga Kekana The R actually shares a platform with the S3. The RS3 runs a 2.5l 5 cyl as opposed to the 4 banger in the R and S3.

Im gonna have one like this with 3 doors and a manual, i live in belgium. Same color :) There is not much difference with this one and the S version, it has more power because of a software tune...
Me too exactly like that and it arrives this week! Can't wait.
Raaatcher how long did you had to wait?

This is me being theoretical :-)
Lifetime warranty should be with cars that cost this much.
