Very underrated car, looks like the perfect sleeper in wagon form
Komor Uddin perfect sleeper? Please elaborate
Ben Powe other than the quad exhausts it looks like your run of the mill diesel estate. Btw yes i know its technically not a sleeper
8:57 "PUMP IT UP YO!!"
We need this R model in North America! Another awesome review thanks
They sell Audi's in Europe as well.
(Although I do agree they won't bring it to NA, I just don't agree with your rationale.)
It could happen, they sell the golf wagon and the golf r ... I am sure they can bring it over ... but I doubt it.
My understanding is that Gold wagon and gold R are two difference trims for certifications, same as Golf R and Golf R with sunroof are two different certifications, hence why we don't get the sunroof option in NA
I don't think an R model would sell, but a GTI model with improved exterior, a bit more sporty suspension, and 210hp over the 170hp of the Sportwagen would be really fun! The sportwagen is already available with a 6-speed in the US and AWD, but unfortunately the horsepower is lacking for that weight vehicle and not exciting. 40hp+ would be a game changer and really have me interested.
I myself would pick the gti over the r.
Another Fantastic review. Autogefuhl deserves far more subscribers than it already has, and I am sure it will increase steadily. Best of Luck !
+Ranjan Sahu help spreading the word
This review is absolutely fantastic, so in depth. Perfect. Thank you.
👌
This channel gets better and better each video, keep up the great work!
+Joel Hannah we'll do an thanks buddy:)
This guy reviews ever detail of the car, love it. Looking to swap my Audi S3 for this wagon.
Beautiful car and beautiful review Thomas. Well done mate!
+Manj Bains 🎬🎬✌️
I love this Guy, very honest, informative and down to earth reviews - I can't ask for more than that!
great to have u here!
So beautiful car from outside, perfect combination
I really like the addition of acceleration, really gives you a feel for how quick the car is!
as usual u have never dissatisfied us with ur reviews 👌👌
+Mohammed Ullah Rasel 👌
I like Autogefuehl reviews because he is very thorough and most importantly he reviews the back seat. It makes all the difference in this review. Also his native language is German but he speaks in English for his audience. Keep it up Thomas !!!!!
+vittorio thanks man ! Feel free to recommend:)
This review (and the hatchback) convinced me to order a Golf R! Really good reviews as always, keep it up! Cheers from Sweden
+Greedo nice enjoy! And order the Alcantara seats :)
My pickup line is inspired by Thomas: "Its a great pleasure when I can fulfill your wishes. Full HC, full length, with exterior, interior, everything, lets go! " Hasn't worked yet though.
Great, full in depth review, danke. I’m planning to have a Golf R estate on my drive next year and this review has been really helpful.

What a good review! I haven't seen anything like it on UA-cam! I subscribed at once!
great to have you here now :)
Love your car reviews, Thomas. Can genuinely feel the love for cars and appreciation of even the small features. Keep up the good work. Love from India and UK
I like how you review the car, you take your time with every aspect of the vehicle.
thanks join us for more!
One of the best seat surfaces offered in any car along with the Renault Meganne GT. Soft, high quality, sustainable and brilliant to have in all climates, especially hot ones like here in Dubai.
indeed!
Another Good review! This dude knows cars✌ gotta love the german/English accent
You're amazing Thomas ! I like this car it looks very comfortable and very good seat materials too. I would most certainly choose this one .
for sure!
7:27 - very professional work with your sleeve - keeping the watch you're wearing in camera! Seat nice, but memory good if your wife has long legs and you both share the one car! No heated steering wheel! No HUD? Nice car! Great video images looking forward through windshield. Loved the bit with the idiot Astra 'driver' behind you! Very many thanks Thomas.
=)
Perfect car for a family man to go flat out with all the crew on autobahn
Great car ,understated ,well made,practical.with plenty of power.And a family car as well.
I would buy it as a second everyday car.
Love it Thomas, I have a 2019 GTI but if I move to Europe, this will be my next car, love the Golf R but my favorite for the family is this one, the Variant.
Excellent review Thomas. I've the hatch in that very style with the black Pretorias. Fantastic car. No animal skin seats either 😉👍🏻
+sam67uk 👊😎
When the steering wheel is on the correct side you dont scratch your Rolex. Awesome review! Awesome car!
Thanks 🙏
Full HD... Full screen and full length... Let´s go! Go Tomas!
YEAH!
i love the full hd full screen full length lets go part of every video
Yeah !
I would love one of there here in the US. The closest we get for the Variant is the Sportwagen S 4 Motion, and that is with the 1.8 TSI. Sure, you can get a tune to bring it close to R spec, but it will never be the same. Veilen Dank!
Craig Wildfeuer mine is getting there. Is20 swap, JB4, DP for now w/ IS38 and tune in the future. R front clip, full interior, and all exterior styling bits almost complete!
Best car reviews on UA-cam
thanks, feel free to recommend us :)
Great review as always
+Simon Vuille thanks Simon :)
Thomas talking about the seat: "pump it up yall"
😄😄😄
Yes! I've been waiting for this one. Danke!
+Ivo Bosnjak welcome!
The best practical sports car you can get on the market right now.👍 But you also have to contemplate the Seat Leon ST Cupra 300 4Drive. That´s also a fantastic car for everyday use and for the sporty ride on country roads ! 😍🏁
Another car reviewed that is coloured in Thomas Blue!! Even the microfibre cloth was blue!!😆Nice one Thomas. I wonder why VW never did a GTi variant....??? But a good car all the same and another top class review.
+ian taf ✌️🎬
There is gtd variant. Gti is very specific car with its own history and must be hatchback only!
ian taf Yes, it's sad.. Wish there was a Gti Variant
But GTI has a huge history of being that compact powerful and relatively cheap hatchback. That's why it's loved so much.
I think my reasen is concern strategy....sport hatch (GTI) and sport estate (Octavia RS, which is also bigger then golf) Thats why there is no Seat around 230 hp territory. Just FR with 180hp or cupra with 300+ hp :) 4WD only in estate. So Golf R hatch is the only one with 4WD in concern offering. GTD are really not true GT, it is just little bit more HP estate. And there are no horsepower upgrades there....still 184hp since Golf MK VI or Octavia II facelift.
Thank you, Thomas. 🤗
+RobertCraven70 👍
I bet the people that live in those nice big houses on the hill (1:50) often say - "those boy raceers are back"
Andrew Bicester 😁
I've got the Rline 7, and am seriously considering the 7.5 R. Here in AU it's priced pretty well, compared to alternatives from BMW and Mercedes.
As ever a very good review, worth watching ALL your video's great job.
Really good video! Keep it going
Hey Thomas great video. What watch are you wearing in this review? It looks cool.
Beautiful, smart car. Only wish it was an option, here, in the States. 33:54, haha, aren't we all aspiring "HP-Masters?!" Thank you, Thomas! Keep doing your own thing!
Best review I’ve seen!
Another great review Thomas...and, a cool knuckle dragger impression, ha!
+Alan Jones 👍👍👍
Great car. Pretty good. But the Cupra ST 4 has the better price/product balance. Basically the same car, only differences are the gearbox (6speed vs 7speed) and 10bhp because ECU mapping. And the interior quality difference is negligible. You can't have the golf under 40k euros, but you can have the Leon a little over 30k.
Thanks Thomas for the review.
My R mk7.5 Variant / Estate arrives next week
Great specification in Indium Grey, classy looking car.
thanks! Enjoy man ! :)
Anyone else like the way he speaks ..
=)
full screen full hd full length full R lets go !
+IATBFTITW IATBFTITW 👍👍👍
Excellent review. I subscribed to your channel after watching this. I noticed though the check engine light is on?
Welcome! Watch our latest Skoda review where i explain about the check engine light: ua-cam.com/video/sgK0_D5Co1w/v-deo.html
I absolutely love this car
Great, comprehensive review
🙏
If this car was available in the U.S., I would buy it in a heartbeat
Great video Thomas, I think its the happiest I've seen you on a video! :)
Watching this video gave me an idea. since not all of us can afford this amazing golf as a new car maybe a used one. I think it will be a good idea to explore the older models and see if they are reliable after a few years of use, I think its going to be interesting to see how VW for example fixed the DSG issues in the newer models.
it surely would be. Unfortunately we have no source/collaboration to get used vehicles for reviews
True, you only have the largest community to discuss cars on the internet. I'm sure you can find a fan or two that will be more than happy to help! :)
1st we definitely need this in the US..
2nd Thomas makes everything seem ok, no matter how bad it really is.... "I don't know do you really need power seats, I don't think so". ...... LoL of course you do especially at this price point......
Amazing car! The color is exiting!
Love the Golf R estate, great family car
a shame you couldnt show the opel your dust thomas ! as you say safety first . great review
=)
Great review as always. I can see why some are not a fan of progressive steering. For me it gives a bit too much assistance & causes a loss in steering feel as it gets too light. Great that this is an everyday car that can do less than 5 seconds 0-100. I would have allowed a race with the Opels just to see their faces drop. Cheers.
+sleepy gamer 😎
Great Review. I'm looking to upgrade from my trusty Bmw 330CI E46 would the noise in the cabine on the motorway be similar? better worse say for driving 4 5 hours at 130 to 150 kph?
Nice review!!
You should do a casting for the next Bond franchise movie, you'd be a great villain!
Greetings from Paraguay (South-America)
thanks! hehe sure the director can call me ;-)
I want this car! I have a VW Sportswagon, but lust for the Golf R , this is the best of both worlds. When will we get this in the USA????
Excellent review
Great car and great review, I would love to see Thomas add a better shot of the gauges so we can see where the RPM is at 130km/h in top gear, maybe some consumption too when driving normal, we all know how fast these cars are since every person reviewing these are driving them hard. :) Also Thomas, do you know if there is a big price difference between service on this car (oil change for example) and the Mercedes E250d? Been thinking to buy the E250d or the E350d as a family car.
The Audi A4 and BMW 3 series have always looked great in station-wagon/combi/estate form. Somehow the VW Golf has never been able to do that - especially in side profile.
Looks great...but not available in Canada....thanks for the awesome review!
+kevin n ✌️🏁
4:03, and station wagon in the US. ;) We don't get the Variant version of the Golf R in the US unfortunately.
to be honest i am very happy with my 2016 vw sportwagen with 5 speed manual, and it’s definitely a performance upgrade coming from a 2002 honda civic si. but in the future i would love a performance oriented wagon (estate, not hatchback)... with a manual transmission. there’s nothing on the NA market that fits that niche. even with the 2.0 from the GTI would be great with more aggressive exterior, suspension, brakes, etc.
Very disappointed with my Golf Variant 2016. High beam headlights not working (a software problem they said), they have to change the water pump for overheating problems, the coolant/antifreeze signal was not working properly… 8 visits to vw official service in 1.5 years and 25.000 km… I wish I had kept my old vw Golf and I think this one will be my last vw.
Great review! I hope someday might be sold in Mexico
Haha! Thomas finally said what I have been saying for years. The join half way down the central dashboard does not look good. It's one solid piece in a SEAT Leon so why did Volkswagen have to have an ugly join that does not blend in well at all.
+pipsicle 😁
That golf R has a seat turning knob like my old '88 Saab 900 T..lol
My '15 SE Sportwagen has the power for the backrest.
Nice for quick adjustment.
Cheers
When will be review of new Range Rover Velar???
+Kacper B we ll try
imho the seat leon st are looking better...
but... job well done vw!
Would you chose this over a normal A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI?
Omg please bring this to the united states, i cant decide between the new alltrack or an R and this would be it!!
Alltrack is Namerica. The R in NA doesnt have Port injection like Europe. Wonder why not. Helps with carbon buildup.
I love the subtelty and still amazing performace in this one. What about the new RS5, is that coming, Thomas? ;)
Great presentation as usual . thanks
+Rafael Guevara 👍
Another excellent review Thomas, thank you! I may be all alone on this, but I'm not overly keen on the exterior styling - it is neither very sporty nor very subtle - like it's trying to strike a comfortable middle ground, but not quite managing either look somehow? To me it looks a little awkward. Anyways, a great car and a top review, no doubt. :)
thanks pal !
Anyone else, in the US especially, think there was something wrong with the proportions being elongated? Then realize that this is a wagon version of the Golf R, rather than the US only hatchback?
Great review Thomas in terms of NVH levels how would you rate the Golf R combi against the CLA shooting break and the Octavia VRS
compare it here:
ua-cam.com/video/qEv413RJC8E/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/PI-m8X3rxgI/v-deo.html
Also always thought the R had solid front calipers, not floating ones :/
Super Video!
Meiner ist bestellt, ist bei dem Facelift das DSG ˋFurzeń genau so zu hören wie bei dem vorFacelift?
+chainsawsally92 danke und viel Spaß! Soweit ich das erfahren habe ja, im sport mode
I wish we got wagon versions of the r and gti in the US. I would gladly trade a less sporty look for more room.
I'd have that colour and the same black mirror caps, roof rails and Pretoria wheels, looks great! I really don't like silver mirror caps the R and many other faster cars come with (unless on a silver car)
Sind die Unterschiede zum R 300 mit 6 Gang dsg gross oder lohnt sich ein Wechsel nicht wirklich?
Bring this to US please!
You guys really get a stripper model R even my base model R has leather and power driver seat , us spec
those seats are way better than anything!
What kind of transmission is installed here dq250 or dq500?
Wish the gti had that extra storage under the light switch.
Hi Thomas! Are you going to do a review of the Octavia VRS 245 estate???
yeah we will
great! can't wait
So cool.
Thames,
As always a great review of the Best Hot Estate and bang for the £ (Euro) / BHP ( PS).
Will you be doing a Performance Pack review for the Hatch / Variant when available.
we had the performance pack on the hatch:
Compare the Golf R hatch + racetrack: ua-cam.com/video/-s9bKP0Eaok/v-deo.html
Thomas,
Just would like a comparison review to justify the £5 k option packs, for mainly day to day motoring with the occasional track day?
of course it is by no way justified, such things never are. The manufacturers offer them for people who want to spend extra money on funny fancy things. You just have to think about if it is worth to you
Okay, cheers.
Keith
PS . Will I have to justify the Golf R 400mk8 when it arrives? LoL.
"Don't scratch your watch". What is your favorite watch brand, Thomas?
see video description :-)
thumbs up for the little fellow :D 7:51
What! I want this in Canada. Europe gets all the best models
