@@miskatonic6210 Honestly, even if it's a stupid car, it performs pretty damn well.

@@wocaomade I don't own a car either, I drive a road bike lol. I'm just imagining the possibilities, a bigger Golf R isn't really pointless since there's a specific use for it, just have to find the right customer.
its weird but the one where hes wearing a [meghan markle?] mask was terrifying. i actually froze for a split second. id link the video but i forgot what car it was in the review
I really hope that in this new 2024 year you'll come back to these type of videos, they're the best you have made. Really engaging. I'm serious mate, this format is bang on.
I really like this car. I have a Golf GTI TCR and I test drove a demonstrator T-Roc R as I thought it would be a great car for my wife and also, quite a cool two car garage 😁 However, I just can't get past that cheap interior. Which is really noticeable, no matter how much fun it is to drive!
My 2019 Golf R hits an average 0 to 60 in 4.16 secs VW say 4.7 secs, these newer GPF cars with 7 speed DSG fly, after all the worries about GPF slowing the Golf R down, they are actually quicker than the older version 😀
Love how you can see the change between the 2 year ago videos and the videos now but still be entertained as if they are recent. Matt should never leave carwow. Do not want a TOP GEAR reincarnation.
Love my t roc r, brought after testing and viewing this review 2 years ago. Does everything we need to, also took it on track and had a great time with it. Absolutely love it
Faster than my Porsche 🤣 these days it’s more about what brand you prefer rather than who has the fastest. Everything fast is dropping below 5 secs. Another great review Matt.
Haha, about time you did a review on this. I’ve been waiting for months in it. But couldn’t wait any longer and eventually took the plunge and bought mine in March. Got to say I agree fully with your review. I knew the car was quicker to 60 than 4.8 but never thought it’d be loitering around the 4 seconds! Gotta say though that with my seat set comfortably (I’m 6’2) there ain’t a lot of room behind me, but I’m alright Jack. I love the car and would recommend at least a test drive. Keep up the great work.
It's so funny to see a nearly identical motor under the hood of a 10 year old GTI. There's a myriad of small changes over the decade like reduced friction, higher psi fuel pumps, strengthened crank and different turbos but It just goes to show how good the EA888 engine really was from the start. It's smooth, refined and powerful in all states of tune (170-310 hp). Like all motors it isn't perfect and has its "issues", but by and large it's a gem. It's almost impossible to not average 28 mpg or better even when driving aggressively in a GTI. 30-32 mpg is usually my baseline in mixed driving (even with an APR tune) and I drive pretty aggressively with a few full throttle pulls because, why not. It's fun and it's what the motor was designed for.
when you put responsible and racing together, you get responsible racing. -Matts wife: OH honey before you go racing tonight at the club, make sure to do some responsible racing. -Matt: ok I will.
My mum in laws 1.5 tfsi is fully spe ' d, I took it to vw for a service, they had a new R in the showroom that was identical, I suggested to Raffa he swapped it my mum wouldn't notice, being 86. It's 2.5 yrs old and done 13000 kms! Lovely car to drive tho. Hi from Spain
Let's now play "Is it available in North America?", that car game where the answer is always "no". What about the T-Roc, then? *Drumroll*...The answer's no, of course! Thanks for playing "Is it available in North America", where we're stuck with boring CVT SUVs.
While I quite like T-ROC R, it's price tag is absurd. Starts on 38k, but it's VW, so you need to splash at least another 5k on options that should come as a standard in top of the line trim. 40k+ on crossover is laughable.
• Proud Owner • Very rare car on the Road. You normally would see the SE Troc... But the Troc R.. its a completely different experience.. I'd suggest be extra courteous when you Test Drive one... It's a Rocket ! Driven Many BMW's.. Audi's.. Mercs... This is the best Vehicle I've ever driven 💪💥🆘
You're alright. People complaining about crossovers just have a stick up their arse. You want a car that has practical space in the back? => hatchback You also want a car with actual sensible ride height for the odd pothole or two? => raise the rideheight. You end up with a crossover. It's basically just a "car" nowadays. Have you seen cars in the 20s, 30s and maybe even 40s? They were all basically crossovers anyway.
Mats wife seems very similar to him، maybe he's gay or something idk... And this is NOT the best sleeper car، that'd kind of be the Audi rs6 because non car people (including scummy teenager's in V6 Mustangs) would probably think it's just an Audi. Edit: Why does carwow always upload video's at the same time as me?

And use cheaper interiour than in the Golf, because whoever is stupid enough to buy into this won't care anyway.

So far the weirdest intro from Mat 😂😂😂
But the best
True
He's losing his mind in lockdown 😂
Just the beginning
its weird but the one where hes wearing a [meghan markle?] mask was terrifying. i actually froze for a split second. id link the video but i forgot what car it was in the review
"It grips really well".
I say this to my girlfriend a lot.
It's tight in the rear
Matt is so close to 4mil help him get there he's amazing
carwow is not Matt....if u want to help him go sub his personal channel. Carwow owner is very rich and a tool already
Carwow will get 4m, not Matt. We hope there won’t be any trouble and end up like top gear with Jeremy Clarkson

Congratulations Matt and the Carwow team for this video. You literally blow every other car review channels out the park.
No one:
Matt: My specialist timing gear
^Underrated
Wasn't anywhere near 4.2 seconds more like 6.8 seconds lol
@Adam 60 kmh in 4.2 seconds takes another 2.4 seconds to get to 100 kmh from 60 kmh lol
yo matt, i think you need to add one more test to your review: the Soundsystem test :)
0:32 *Nooo! my dad was sitting next to me, it was so embarrassing!*

4.2 seconds to 60?? Damn that’s impressive for a car like that with 300hp
Let alone with a tune and with around 400hp you will do 4 sec or sub 4 sec
ikr really impressive
This a bit makes no sense because rsq3 which has 100 hp more it's 0.2 seconds slower. WTF😐
hamcio 319 rsq3 is heavier then the troc, and 400hp with 1700+kg isnt that inpressive but the troc is slightly heavier then the golf r

R comes from Responsible. 😂You are amazing! I hope you you get 4 mil. subscribers cause you are so funny and you review badass cars. ✌

Matt...you have a soothing voice. Ever thought of voiceovers or audiobooks?
3:59 Mat just say AKRAPOVIČ!
3:51
The T-Roc is the only modern VW I would consider buying, so... thanks for this.
00:00 "This is an Audi cross-over"
The performance Monitor is actually not R specific - it is also available for the Golf GTI
R in this video means "Restricted for children due to content" 😂
4.2 is impressive considering when Matt tested the Leon ST Cupra R with the ABT chip (350hp) that also did 4.2
You should do a review or a race on a Infiniti q30s
Do a drag race in the Golf T-Roc R vs a regular Golf R.
The golf has a way better interior and just 40l less luggage space, not to mention the superior handling and lower price.
Nice to see how it goes with a stage 3 tune
Matts long hair reminds me of some one leaving the toilet paper hanging meters down in the toilet🤣
Hahahahaha the intro! British humour is the best!
4 million subs, almost there my favorite UA-cam channel!
Carwow what happened to sticking a stick in exhaust pipes
He did it
XxQuadXxAH _ just after 7:00
Watch the video and you’ll see it ffs
Best intro for a video since i started following this channel
I was really hoping they would do an R version of the Tiguan.
They have lol
Everybody gangsta till mat pulls out the special timing gear
So it´s a lowered car from a raised car of a lowered car they already had
whats the point of having 300bhp if the police are waiting for you round the Corner with a Radar gun?
Exactly. Especially in big busy cities like London. Your paying all that money to drive 20mph everywhere
