    I think vw missed the mark by not making it an all wheel drive especially with that power output. It can't be a special model if it doesnt have all the features of a special model. Stickers and side skirts doesnt make it special

    Brilliant video sir, well presented, I love this TCR, pity vw doesn't allow GTI owners to upgrade their exhaust and software same as TCR, so one can keep ones warrantee, for most gti owners it's always about the irritation of the wheel spin you get due to all that power to the front wheels, therfor most gti owners are opting for the R as the next buy, more of a controlled take off and more power if u comparing the price range with this TCR vs R not far apart.

      I mean really you should go for a stage 1 and that’s it, because otherwise you will have an impression of driving the same car.
