About the exhaust, because you were a bit complaining: Its actually louder if you go out of the sportsmodus, and reactivate it right after again. Just saying, don't know, if you knew...
I'm driving this car for over an year now and i still love to drive it. Such a nice and balanced car. You can drive it like a normal Golf and if you need the extra speed and acceleration you can easy have it. :)
@@alias3009 it has a 50 liters tank so you can in a eco drive like 580-620 kilometers, maybe more if you have like zero hills. but i live in a mountain region, so we have many hills and that changes the range somewhat
Clubsport S is the track daddy Golf, the TCR balances performance with everyday use ability perfectly. Hope to own one sometime soon, currently own a mk7 GTD.
They should have optioned the Recaro CS seats at the bare minimum. All else Could be forgiven. This has the Golf R Engine w larger turbo rather than the gti perf pack engine...
Nice! Love the sound of that engine popping! Out of curiosity, are planning on doing a review of the new Focus ST (2.3 EcoBoost) with the Ford Performance pack?
@AutoTopNL there are some things which you missed or you dont know. You can get optional Akrapovic exhausts, normally there are also black small TCR stickers on the back doors, it has also a new additional spoiler, the carbon mirrors are also optional. Anywell nice review :)
I'm glad they did'nt add the honey cone decal on this TCR but some TCR badges and a cooler spoiler would have been very nice for a exclusive car like this.
It should show TCR as a black sticker on the lower side of the rear doors.... Of course this being a black car, it may not be obvious? The Pure Grey I have mine in is the best colour in my opinion. Shows all the black detailing better 😍 Plus the Akrapovic titanium exhaust sounds nicer 👌🏻
I agree on the styling comments, I would have liked to have seen more aggressive styling. I think the colour helps, my TCR is pure grey and as this colour is only available in the TCR it helps it stand out.
I‘ve to make a difficult Buying decision between the 2019 Honda Civic Type R and the Golf GTI TCR I’m in love with the aggressive Honda but it‘s quality for example the Veloursleather which might get pretty ugly in terms of aging of the car and the fact that the Honda got a smaller tank 10l less than the TCR and it needs more fuel so the TCR might be the more reasonable choice but it doesn‘t fully convince me I don‘t know if it‘s the better way to be reasonable pls help me guys 😭😭

Actually a friend of mine bought 2 golf gti tcr's and both of them have a TCR badging on the rear door.Idk if he did it by himself or it was from the factory.
only TCR logo I know from is the one on the side kit before the rear wheel on the left and right and (probably depending on how you want) this TCR pattern with the hexagons at the side. What I would like if there was a Sticker ''TCR Series'' I could bring on the top of front or rear window... if I will ever have one. With the rims how they are used in TCR Racing it wouldd be easier to notice as a TCR Either they bring a new TCR if this 7 series TCR is no more produced or there is still one available for me later... if I can afford one x
I think it's good it doesn't say TCR anywhere. Not everybody has to know what I have under my butt. So I only have the red GTI stickers on the fender of my Golf 7 GTI! And the one in the radiator grille. An older gentleman (Mercedes driver ;-P) recently told me at the service area that my Golf could only drive 150KM/h after he had taken my right of way on the motorway! Because that was really scarce and I asked him what it was all about. That was his answer!!! With the GTI and what it means, most can't do anything. There comes only a VW Golf. I can change without problems to the left lane. That the Golf GTI 250 KM/h can do, only the drivers who are interested in it know. For most of them it is ONLY ONE GOLF! It is really no fun on the motorway because many simply change lanes without paying attention to the traffic!
They all have two TCR badges as standard located next to each of the back wheel trim/door seal trim. The black ones the stickers are dark grey so he's obviously missed them

I'd go with the R because of the 4wd. We have snow 2-3 months every year, so there is no substitute.
Even with 18" this thing runs over 270 which is still impressive
Wheel diameter has absolutely nothing to do with that
SuperDigitalMe sure, but with 18“ wheels its locked at 250 kph
SuperDigitalMe 18” wheels do better 0-60 times than 19”s.. they top at the same speed but the 18” does it faster
Anonymous ِ no because you get a higher locked topspeed with the 19inch (260kph GPS)
PrimeBoys Yes but you won’t win a race with tcr 19” racing a tcr 18” 0-250.. the 18” will be ahead it’d take you sometime to catch up
