I own the original pop and bang hot hatchback, an Alfasud Ti nutter bastard, and it rinsed a Mk7.5 GTi over 10 miles. The look on the guy's face was a picture. Half the weight, half the power makes it an equal fight, except for the smell of burning oil at 106mph 😂

    I have never liked Euro cars even tho I’m from the UK. My mates rate them but I’ve always loved fords and JDM classics. In 2021 I bought a B8 VW Passat out of necessity for needing a quality family car. FUCK ME I am blown away by the VW experience! I am constantly watching VW content on UA-cam which is something I have dissmissed incredibly quickly in the past. But now I’m trying to weigh up the pro’s and con’s of getting a Golf R over a Golf GTI 🤷‍♂️. 3 months ago I was lusting over JDM STI’s! Now I am consuming Volkswagen content like smarties. Love the channel Calvin and in the past I would have scrolled past your German car content but this is a great insight into the 7.5R. Peace and love baby.

    I was stuck between the choice of one of these and an M140i and I picked the Beemer as I just found it more entertaining and sounded better. The golfs are awesome and quicker 99.9 percent of the time but I thought it was a little dull to drive and also more money to run/buy and insure (at least it was for me anyway) but I certainly wouldn't be disappointed with the golf.

  • @th3orist

    i think an R is not worth it over a GTI tbh if you are not concerned with topspeed.
    for daily use if you want a cool fast hothatch, the GTI is perfect and gives you over 90% of what the R gives for a good chunk less money.
