    Golf R for sure. Its very refined and settle. It doesn't scream race car but is an absolute sleeper. Its the perfect daily driver, but can be a monster at the drag strip, especially benefited by the DSG gear box. This car will be the gentlemen's choice between the 3.

    • @Iron883Man
      @Iron883Man 6 років тому +1

      Real driving is done in corners...certainly not at a drag strip with a DSG equiped hot hatch. Where's the skill in that, unless you're brake / throttle challanged?

    • @Crypto_Chino
      @Crypto_Chino 6 років тому

      I don't consider real driving only taking corners, even though the Golf R is GREAT at it. I agree there is no fun at a drag with a DSG, i was just saying that because they get faster 1/4 times. I personally only prefer mans-trans and owned a manual MK6 .:R. The RS is just a fun car on the track, the Golf R is all a round a better car, not only on the track and drag, but perfect for daily driving.

    • @Iron883Man
      @Iron883Man 6 років тому +2

      Mk6_chino The golf R does everything you need from a daily, but it doesn't take corners anywhere near great. It's infamously understeered and an RS will run circles around it on a track. I don't buy hot hatches for daily driving. I guess if you do the R is ok, but still...buying a 300hp car just to use it on public roads is kind of stupid overkill. That's another thing why I don't like the R. It's a car for an audience that takes speed to public roads where It's just plain irresponsible instead of reserving it for track days. There are plenty of Focus RS on the track days I visit (Zolder, Spa, Nurburgring) andI rarely see them misbehave on public roads. Maybe stereotyping but it has the more responsible/mature audience in the Benelux.

    • @Crypto_Chino
      @Crypto_Chino 6 років тому

      I guess its really going to depend on your life style. A lot of people don't have time to take there car to the track. Which i feel the RS is only good for. The golf R may not be really good at tight corners but its really not necessary unless you're on a track. The .:R is great on canyon and mountain drives, so thats good enough for most people.

    The "VWs aren't reliable" thing is so tired and people really need to let go of it. I am on VW #5 now and since my first one, the only thing that ever went wrong mechanically was the ignition coil getting fried. Actually, that's not even a mechanical issue tbh. Fact of the matter is that I have never been left stranded on the side of the road by any VW that I have ever owned. Apart from that, great video. Everything else you said about the Golf R is on point. I love my 2018 7.5 R :)

      VW have been scamming the people since their Inception. Their cars are unreliable as hell, which is why nobody who values reliability would buy one. They are shit boxes with plastic oil pans and defective solenoids. They blow up on the Reg and they fall apart

    • @Ramman1995
      @Ramman1995 6 років тому +1

      David Robinson I don't know what VW did to you man, the have not been scams since the beginning... Look at the beatle. They are not unreliable in fact they have one of the best factory warranties now. Most new cars have plastic oil pans these days not just VW. They do not blow up on the reg and are not falling apart. You have no idea what you are talking about. I have owned 5 VWs aswell as the original commenter and have only been left stranded twice, once cause my coil pack died on my mk3 gti vr6 cause I did not gap my plugs properly and the coil pack slowly died and the other when I was starting a short road trip in my mk3 tdi that blew a head gasket (was pushing WAY too much boost on a stick motor and throwing WAY too much fuel at it). People like you are the sole problem with car communities and the spread of blatant lies about VWs, they are not unreliable and in fact are amazing reliable. On a side note I traded my e46 coupe for my mk3 gti vr6 while I was in college and it was one of the best things I could've done, it had SOO many less issues and never left me stranded except when I messed up the coil pack, I probably would not have been able to afford school without it as the BMW was a total basket case and left me stranded MULTIPLE times. VWs are great cars and I'll keep them around as long as I can. Hopefully I can get an R as my next car!

      I had a 2005 jetta gli for 5 years. And even though i had to chase an electronic gremlin for 2 years in the fan after i fried the ECU being dumb. But it never ever left me stranded. Even when i killed the ECU it still limped home.

  • @flacjacket
    @flacjacket 6 років тому +3

    The MK7 Rs are actually shockingly reliable (aside from turbo failures on the early euro market cars). In light of that VW has for 2018 boosted both the bumper to bumper warranty and the power train warranty from 3yr/36k and 5yr/60k to 6yr/72k. In light of that I wouldn't worry about reliability, it is probably the most reliable car in its class aside from maybe the Type R but that is too new to say for sure.

    • @MechRider89
      @MechRider89 6 років тому

      Coil packs and injectors are still problematic. I've replaced every coil on my mk7 GTI already and 2 injectors thankfully all under warranty.

  • @Idleinca
    @Idleinca 6 років тому +22

    The Focus RS can send up to 70% of the power to the rear wheels, and 100% of that 70% to an individual rear wheel. Not 90%.
    The Focus RS is more fun to drive, but the R is a better car to own.

    • @Crypto_Chino

    You really need to get caught up on VW reliability. VW recently extended their bumper to bumper warranty to 6 years. The only German car that has that out of the usual suspects. My mk4 vr6 had a stage 3 turbo kit on it pushing over 440 whp, beat to piss on a track once a month and just abused by myself and friends and not a single mechanical problem. All that on stock internals and stock transmission. Shitty window regulators, bad mafs, sunroof problems...sure - but let’s face it, window regulators or faulty sunroof motors are not exactly things that are taken into consideration when it comes to a car’s reliability. It’s mechanical problems we all look for. Pre mk3 is when there were some actual reliability problems and since then, people like you regurgitate the “Vw’s aren’t reliable” nonsense they heard from someone who heard it from someone else. Same goes for the b5 S4...that car as well as other b5’s and prior had reliability issues but, once again, it’s carried on over the years by ignorant people like you repeating something that’s no longer true. Your idea of an mr2 being an interesting looking car or good looking car...well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder because the one of the ugliest cars imo. I can’t help but feel sorry for the little guy wen I see one on the road (usually driven by an old Asian man or woman). Good luck with your channel dude...opposite of the rest that I started watching the same time as yours, this channel has gone nowhere. In fact it’s even worse than it was whereas the others have blown up. Gl buddy

      Damn dude, way to be a dick. That's because other channels started way before this guy. You're acting like 200k subscribers isn't good. It's hard to go off of car reviews alone, and that's essentially what he does. All he needs to do is branch out a bit and I guarantee you he'll surpass 500k in no time. It's not as niche as it used to be.

      Who likes to change a window regulator? How isn't a part of reliability? Wow that's brutal hate. He said that he loves the car hun. Take a prozac or something. So much anger. It's car talk. VW will be fine because of this GREAT review on the Golf R. He said that it's a better daily driver and that the transmission was awesome? I don't get why you are so mad.

    • @Detz0325
      @Detz0325 6 років тому +1

      lol man you're so butt hurt you can't even think straight. First of all he clearly stated the unreliability of the vw's were not just from common knowledge but everyone he has talked to who owns one says that. So he's saying people who actually own them are saying that. Also reliability is reliability, that means if the wipers stop working it's part of the reliability of the car. You can't pick and choose what you want to deem as a reliability on a car. I get it the most important shit is the mechanical stuff but that's where you were so emotional you didn't even listen to him talk. He clearly stated that it was the little things and more like comfort things that broke often not the mechanical stuff. He noted it was a great sleeper with amazing performance with the practicality. Lastly, your jab at him and his channel is pretty low as he's at least doing something he is passionate about he will eventually get there it just takes more time for others. Just because you started watching 5 new channels that you've never seen doesn't mean they all started at the same time or had the same opportunities to grow. On a side note, you really shouldn't bash someone on something subjective like what cars look good and then proceed to give your opinion on what looks good. Personally I've never liked the look of a golf, never will get a vw but would and am getting an audi over benz or bmw. That has no meaning but my opinion so no point in bashing someone about something completely subjective as to looks of a car.

    Neither of these cars are able to send more than 50% of the power to the rear axle. Any claim above that is just sales talk using clever excuses to talk their way around the fact that both the R and the RS are front wheel driven platforms using a Haldex (type) diff. You simply can't put more power through that diff than is going to the front axle. The RS somewhat manages to camouflage the frontwheel driven nature by being able to spread that 50% over to 1 wheel while both front wheels only get 25% of the power each, making the loaded back wheel push the back end out and give that feeling of accelartion oversteer that a RWD car would have.

    *Golf R is still boring and is numb compared to a RS or STI. The R is not a racecar, it's a very fast touring car. Can it keep up, absolutely. But is it raw and do you feel the road compared to its competition? No. The manual is much slower, the DSG is awesome, but that explains a lot when the other 2 cars (3 if you want to include the CTR) are all manual only. This isn't an enthusiast car. Many soccer moms who can't shift end up in these cause it's simply the highest trim in the Golf lineup.*
