    The way this guy speaks sound like like he's reading a dirty novel; so much passion

    • @platinumtech3419
      @platinumtech3419 8 років тому +23

      I think he's better sounding than Chris Evans on Top Gear.

      He Is not speaking, he is throwing out some fire lyrics.

      He sounds like if he is going to do a "job" to someone that disrespected the family.

      Mark Lewis Hey mate. Today I bought a Golf R 2015. is there anything that I should be aware of? in General what are your thoughts. I'd love to know.

    • @LivingLifeFastLLF
      @LivingLifeFastLLF  7 років тому +3

      aram442 if you plan on tuning be careful as earlier models have turbo failures, other than that nothing

    • @aram442

      LivingLifeFast We’re just getting the seven-speed DSG here in Canada, and I put my deposit down last night. What’s the story with the new transmission? Better mpg? Shorter gearing? Nice review.

    The 1st Golf R video and the 1st LLF video I ever watched. Years of researching, years of watching LLF content and years of hoping and I've finally got my dad wagon, a 2017 Golf R estate and it's perfect. Thanks for inspiring me Ricky and keep up the good work buddy 👍

      Where has your channel just popped up from and you even have branded clothing on in the video.
      Fantastic content, this channel will blow up fast if this type of content and quality is sustained in future videos.
      Superb work my friend, more power to you.

    • @raf7283
      @raf7283 8 років тому +4

      I'm honestly wondering how you don't have more subscribers man. I loved your content! You were very direct, covered a bunch of features that other review channels miss out on, spoke your heart and mind and said what YOU truly felt (I didn't feel like you were just sitting there trying to just get the next paycheck), and you managed to do all of that without boring me. Great things to you and I hope you continue this channel and keep making great content!

    • @LivingLifeFastLLF

    Hey Ricky - been subscribed since this video came out and have been watching you since, but I watch this one the most. It stuck with me and after a long road with the TDI scandal, my trade in date to pick up a Golf R is tomorrow. Thanks for making that decision an easy one and keep up the great work with the passion you put into this channel. Cheers.

  • @Tony786.
    @Tony786. 6 років тому +4

    @Benjonno2011 3 роки тому +1

    This is the first video of yours Ricky I came across 4 years ago and I still fucking love it and have been following you since.
    It wasn’t until last night that I realised after I bought my Golf R last week, it’s the same colour and spec as the one in your vid that I loved years ago and now I have my own!! Only thing different is mines a 3 door.
    Keep up the good work mate

    The Golf R is the only hatch I have found that actually is more fun to drive than a R56 Cooper S.

    Great job 1 1/2 years later Ricky! I bought my '17 Golf R in part due to your review and reply to my comment back in '16. This is still one of your best vids to me. I drove the '18 R yesterday and I'm not sure if specs are different over here in USA but it felt pretty much the same as my '17 in race mode, you seemed to think the '18 was much quicker?
    Keep up the great work man!

Got to be a manual though. I will be watching your other reviews. Perfect length and content. REALLY well done. Thanks.

    Awesome job Ricky, one of the best reviews of golf MK VII R by far, very comprehensive and informative.
    Used to own a Sirocco R and loved it before it was totalled in an accident and was a bit on the fence about my new Golf R MKVII and if I made the right decision but after watching this review I am convinced I made the right decision.
