I’m looking for the facelifted MK8.5 R to film a video. If anyone has contacts with/ or you are a dealership. Feel free to reach out to me. Location Belgium/Netherlands/ Germany(Rhur area).
THANK YOU for your great demonstration. I just picked up my 2024 Golf R, and needed a video to get familiar with the driver assist system system as this is my first vehicle with such features. I'll be trying the launch control when the engine breaks in.
I find putting it into nurburgring mode, you get more and louder pops and bangs. Especially when letting off around 4 - 4.5 rpm. Had mine for almost a year and wasn't aware of the automatic lane change feature! Cool!
The Golf 8 R is not perfect but the looks and performance are really awesome. The best daily driver and sportcar since my other favourite Golf, the R32.
Great tips! Just picked up a '24 a few weeks ago and love it. I really regretted selling my MK6 GTI and couldn't be happier getting back into a Golf. I just wish VW gave us those tail lights here in Canada!
i have to ask you bro when i drive to 170 i fell ok but more then 170 why my heart start to bump faster cuz i have fear and anexity that something is gonna happend to me i should drive the safe right?
So the car is giving you a short 'brake-test' to wake you up if you ignore the 'put your hands back on the steering wheel' warning. But what if a tailgater is 5 meters behind you while driving - lets say 100km/h - and this system kicks in? Which EU authority approved this feature/made this car road-legal in the EU?
Well, the brake-test is really short. The car is hardly braking, it’s just a shock that goed through the car to wake you up. However eventually if you don’t respond the car will slowly lose speed. It is in all cases the responsibility of the car behind to leave enough space to the car in front. This feature is only meant for emergency situations.
@@Autokoy I fully agree that it is the responsibility of the driver behind you to keep enough distance. But in real life - the Netherlands (where I live) - there are too many drivers that seemly have the same intelligence as a dishwasher-processing-chip. They don't keep distance at all. That's why I'd rather don't want my car to brake on its own - even if it's 'really short'.
@@JanJansen_ Perhaps the function checks if there is a car behind before it does that, the regulations for ANY type of braking function is extremely tough, I doubt it would brakeif there is a car close behind.
@@cskillen1998 I doubt if the car 'checks' if there is a car behind you before performing the 'wake up brake check'. Which sensors should being used for that? The rear parking sensors (with a reach of ~3 meters)?. I think the car regulation authorities haven't thought of this at all when approving this feature.
@@JanJansen_ I work at leading company in automotive industry, where I develop driveline software. We have multiple braking functions/systems, and I can confidently tell you that the regulations are TOUGH. Sorry, but you're stupid if you believe no authorities have thought about this. Also, look up what the doppler effect is and how it is used automotive vehicles.
Seems like performance pack is unavailable since some time. I ordered Golf 8R a month ago and have realized that I won't have the drift mode as well :( a bit bummed and haven't really found in the internet whether u can enable it or not somehow
@@szafrankk i had the same when i went to a volkswagen dealer. Thats why i chose a car they had in stock. I dont know the reason but i suspect its got to do with the new 8,5 coming up
Yes apparently it is. If you look closely at the R logo projector light on the passenger side of the car (you even stopped there for a while around 1:42) the letter has a big white spot of light in the middle. The same thing happen with Cupra Formentor VZ (310 hp) and it’s a known issue. They repair the light projectors under warranty.
@@Autokoy well that’s what I pointed out above, the light projector seems to be broken. I drive a Formentor VZ5 that has the logo light as well but a different one than the VZ (VZ5 symbol instead of Cupra logo), and have had no issues so far (around 15k km right now). If your car is still under warranty go to your dealer. They should fix this.
@@LordLookas yes but when i filmed it it wasnt like this. So it literally must have happened in the last days. Car got 28000km now. Ill call the dealer. Thanks man

@@IsmailMohamed-tc6dr This vehicle is at best a 2023 model car because this is a golf 8. The chassis and interior design of the latest current vehicle is different from the 2024 model and above golf vehicles are produced as golf 8.5, not the new make-up chassis, so this is the interim.
@@Kugelfisch_-mn7st i mean our speed limit in Russia is only 100km an hour! Before we didnt care and drove like we wanted but last 15 years everywhere cameras so... useless cars for us.
Yeah i filmed it with a gopro inside the car. It went into winds noise reduction mode and you couldn’t hear anything anymore. You should watch my newest video, i put a gopro on the outside and it has a pure crazy exhaust sound. With loads of pops 👍🏻
In all honesty, Golf Rs deserved a VR6 engine slammed in them Why do these beautiful cars have a 2.0L? I'm not hating, I'm pretty sure it's a good combination however a VR6 engine would have made a lovely differentiation to the GTIs
It was definitely close. Also lucky i was not pushing the car at that moment. I did not because i read the traffic, it was quite busy and was looking out for exactly this to happen. To give the red t-roc some slack. It was busy, trucks in second lane. Normal he moves to third. No hard feelings 👍🏻

I liked his chuckle :) And I wonder if it would do that brake check if there was a vehicle directly behind?

yes definitly more pops in nurburg mode
Ah I just realised I don't have automatic lane assist. It requires you to have Park Assist feature which I didn't spec this on mine :(
Your review style is top notch, it‘s on the same level as all the other big channels, if not even better. Can’t wait for the M3 review, hopefully :D
Thanks a lot

The fact that he said it so matter of factly is more hilarious.

I’ve watched dozens of POV videos on the GTI/R. Your video is the very best of them all.
By the way, you have the same voice as Alaatin.
Thanks a lot. Appreciate it! I have Turkish roots too, maybe that’s why 😁
Love the R, and I love the POV video
Looks super fun to drive absolutely love it. Only thing keeping from buying is the gear shift I don't like the clicker.
Man, this thing is pretty verry agressive for his dimension, if you ask me.. 🥰 I can "feel" the suspension :))
This car is freaking awesome man!!! Love this video and great job!
Nicely done! Question, do the side mirrors have auto dim feature to reduce glare from drivers behind you?
I don’t know
I own one, yes they do. You can find such information easily on the manufacturer's website btw...
Güzel video kral emeğine sağlık, türkçe pov sürüş olursa güzel olur.

did yours come with that cover over the wireless charging pad?
Yes
I have the new one just like you but my race doesn’t have the extended drift mode how do you get it? Is it something in the settings ?
You need to have the performance pack. If you do not have it you also will not have the big rear spoiler.

The Performance pack is standard with the new 2024 Golf 8R with 333hp instead of the normal 320hp. Ask your local VW dealer.
@@ReconRangersPasukanKhusus maybe in the USA. In the Europe I don't recall seeing 8R with 333hp.

Good review
Çok güzel video hocam kazasız belasız :)
Its really weird that you can buy a scatpack in america or a used srt with 500-700+ hp and a fully new golf r is like 80k and the price drops with km

great video and great car! I just hate the interior design of the latest Golf generation, looks so plasticy/cheap.
Thanks man, indeed. Only thing i wish for is that there was less plastic in the interior.
I think it’s more beautiful than my 7.5.
Thinking of selling my evo X for one of these.
