Thrashing the FIRST MK8 Golf R in Australia
Вставка

- We got our hands on the very first MK8 golf R in Australia, then took it directly to the track to thrash it. Even VW staff had not yet track tested the car... so we decided it was our duty to drive the absolute pants off it!

Huge thanks to VW Australia for sponsoring this video and trusting us behind the wheel of their first car in the country. - Авто та транспорт
Todd's face going around those corners was priceless :p
had me in tears... you can see he wanted to say "please... 15mph slower"
For some reason it reminded me of the movie scene with Ford.
Could see him questioning his life choices, lol
It made it that much more enjoyable than it would have been. Lol.
It doesn't help that he looks just like William H. Macy.
2:48 Moog just Rick Rolled us all
and probably april fooled us too...
Came here to say that... he totally got us.
"I'm not a VW fanboy but I've had eleventy million golfs" - Moog 2022
He definitely has more Golfs than most people having cars in their lifetime.
to be fair though he has had 10x as many other cars xD
that carwow impression was top notch
I love Mat though, he single handedly keeps Burberry in business.
@@Noxidsignorantia Hahaha, gotta love the guy
I missed the stick of truth. :P
Need more CarWow reviews by Marty.
*car pow
@@mightycarmods featuring the Bunnings hat also plz
Came here to say that! 😄
Epic jab at Matt, I'm sure he would love the humour as well :D
need an attempt at a brummy accent as well, great review(s)
You know when you've made it when...
your face is on WD-40
your face is on Castrol
you have your own toolstations
One of the, if not the largest car brands call YOU to review their car first
Moog: "I'm not exactly a Volkswagen fan"
Also Moog, to every GTI he's ever owned: 02:48
Wp
Yo how the hell he knew how to even access that option with no hesitation definitely tells us that he’s been there once or twice before. And that massive skid is quite obvious he’s done that more than a handful 😂👌🏼😩
@@spazzologist yeah but the skids not VW specific to be fair.
When moog said that my initial response was "ehhh... I would"
He's owned quite a few for a not-a-fan 😂
I love that fact that Moog had Todd reaching for that 'JESUS' Handle on quite a few times!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
From all those Golfs you have owned, I'm surprised you haven't had an R32 for that sweet sound.
Since the mk7 that sweet sound is the same as the gti
@@martin1649 But these are just Golf R's not r32s
I turbo converted my mk5 r32 and I’ll tell you it’s a game changer
@@jaydenbutler6184 oh damn you should post some vids of it screaming brother
@@jaydenbutler6184 where can we see this creation?? I'm in love with just the prospect of this 😍
What a treat, wasn't expecting this video like this! Kudos to VW btw, some manufacturers are a bit cagey about track reviews, even more so with staff onboard
Only in Australia can the moderator of the best off-road channel convince VW to drive the entire lap in silence. Hats off, sir. Well played.
The look on Moogs face trying to not talk is priceless!
That internet car review roast was so accurate it's painful, hahahahaha.
Old mate reaching for the grab handle has been the highlight of my day. Thanks team 👌🏼
There was a couple of moments there where his facial expressions sort of suggested some poo might have come out of him.
From Moogs past track record, it'll be the first one bought and resold in Australia too 😜 Awesome to see you thrash it! ✌
P.s I personally missed hearing your commentary Moog!
Hearing yourself and Marty's reactions is what makes it 😁
It's a bit disappointing that no hands were stuck in any vents this time
VAG things.... that was a Subie that gobbled up his wrist
@@davidhickey8613 he may have had a subie that way before, but you haven't lived until you go fist deep in a VAG.
Amazing. Marty’s review was absolutely spot on!
i love the take on "every normal car review"
I wish more of these "auto journalists" could take the cars to the track
Probably the same as what happens with motorcycle journos, say something "bad", bye bye ever getting invited to write/talk about any other bike
Please do the same for more older cars.. just leave the car as shitty looking as possible and just take it to the track with the same treatment
The look the guy gave hahaha
Can't wait to hear you moan about all the haptic feedback buttons all over the interior
Great move by VW giving the first Mk 8 Golf R experience to the MCM men 👍
Smart move VW.
Moog and MCM so much more credible than the motoring journos everywhere else.
Nice work MCM.
Except this is a sponsored video, that makes it impossible to trust as a geniune review, this video and the main channel are literally ads. this is dissapointing and shameful
@@redhel
Sponsorship fully disclosed and not at all shameful. Best car review I’ve seen in a while.
Nice unsponsored review on the main channel today. But, I genuinely preferred this one, sponsored and all.
Each to their own.
No one gonna mention the song on the stereo? Moog's never gonna give you up! He keeping the golf
Yeah, that was a sneaky one.
Nice rickroll
If you pull up the song at the time he had it at its the part with him in his trench coat. Makes it better in my opinion.
@@high633 that's next level. Fair dinkum
You guys are the absolute best. Cool of VW as well to accept something like this.
Marty's bit and Rick Astley hahahaha
Nice little Rickroll 2:48 😂😂
Spotted 5:04 the mighty white UP! and a mysterious red UP! (also the GR Yaris Hilton)
ole mate grabbing the "holy shit bar" lol
Scared to death the whole time 😂
More reviews from Marty please, very informative and educational
That was a smooth RickRoll.
Love the parody of Mat from CarWow lol
Love to see VW working with you congrats and thanks VW
Absolute legends! Great video guys
You hammered it all day and we saw one lap? Starting to become the moog show highlighting how fantastic he is instead of the car show I’ve come to love.
Thank you for everything you do it's so fun 💕
Great vid! Love ya boys!
Well done mate ...a lot of hard work to get that offer and where you are 🤘🤘💯🇦🇺
Thanks for the ride around! Much appreciated.
bahahah Todd grabbed the oh shet handle pretty quick 🤣
I see you also checked out the rally ability of the new Golf with some of the grass scenery hanging off the underbody at 4:52 :) Nice.
love the subtle Rick roll!
I love this! It was so different and so fun!
Congrats guys, what an honour to be the first in Australia to drive it!
The sensation is not the new car, it's a quiet Moog.
That Golf R MK8 Good job Moog👏👏👏👏 it looks amazing goes really fast on the race track
I'm impressed that they're using the technology to make the care more fun in the performance section instead of bogging it down. Drift mode is a beautiful thing to see. You're living the fantasy!
Awesome loved every minute of this vid 7.5 tragic here can not wait to drive the 8 R in that spec.
Absolutely stoked for the mk8 looks and sounds great 👍
Instantly throwing shade at 99% of every other review to come after it. Love it.
The infotainment and buttonless design kills it.
I kinda like the new Mk8 Golfs, but the all touch is definitely the stupidest thing about the current gen VWs. And other recent cars are doing it as well.
HAHAHAHA you got us with the Rick Roll..... nice work, also Moog wasn't the only one leaving skid marks at this track day.... poor Todd
very raw exhaust sound, I like it
3:29
that "oh you DRIVIN drivin" look
That smile from start to finish!
the quality of videography of this channel is awesome.
Real fans like the video before the content starts lol you always know it’s going to be good 🤙🏼
u guys are somebody now
finally
Moog still Rock Rolling. I love it. 2:49
thank you for this, it was actually great to just experience the lap raw as it were. impressive car, im a golf fan but i'll probably never get to own one of these sadly, what with everything hading towards battery.
Your concentration on not talking was about equal with you concentration for driving at the start😂😂😂
Thanks Blair!
The calm driver with terrified passenger duos are always funny.
You drove the **** out of that car😂 his facial expressions say it all😭
Love your work 👍
Loved it!
Just bought myself a TCR a month ago, upgrading from a MK6 GTI. I was looking at getting a MK8 R but they were just out of my budget unfortunately. Can't wait to see what you do with it when it arrives!
I feel like I've just paid to watch an advert, even though I didn't pay, and I like the product.
Nice ride!
Marty's review is the top!!! ☝️👍😄
2:49 fantastic song
Rolled
I didn't know I needed more Marty Carwow reviews until now. but plz make this a thing lmaoo
I love that you just Rick Rolled the internet!
Mr VW looked stressed while using the Pray to God handle and trying to smile. Good work Moog 😁
This is gold!
"Gday guys! Marty from carpow here"
This really cracked me up 🤣
such a well done video its almost a shame it isn't on the main channel
Love it, and finally more power which it sadly lacked, well done VW
Epic mate.
That drift mode looks awesome
The Redriven reference was on point 😆
Great driving you can tell you know the track well.
3:55 the moment you´re happy that it´s not a so called "monday´s car" and the grip holds :D
That first corner at full on was Todds new pants. He just hadn’t gone and changed into them yet. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘
Can't wait to see mk8 golf r tuning to start. Really interested to see what it will do with a stage 1 or 2 tune.
Apparently no tunes are available for these yet?
Hell yeah. Great job Moog. You gave that car a proper thrashing. 👍 I drive like that every time a mate let's me drive one of their cars. 😁👍🤟
nice to see a new fridge in blue well ad say burple mix of blue and purple the ford done that ages ago as you know yous helped build one
Never really a hatch guy until my son bought a MKIV GTI 3 door - amazing drive and power for days, would have smoked the VK I had at his age!
Reminded me of moog as Mr Bean and Todd as everyone else of the roller coaster 🥱 😱
Looks great! Would love another proper R series Passat. Love my R36 wagon!
That dude looked terrified!! 🤣😂🤣😂
I love the Mk8 in that blue paint, perfect match! The new Golf has some quality issues (interior), but it is still the benchmark for the compact car. Greetings from Germany.
Definitely a main channel post
Grabbing the "oh jesus" handle before the first turn!
That blue is killer!
Lolz at your copilot's eyes going wide as he trys to rip the passenger handle loose on corners.
Love the John Cadogan reference
Keen on Marty's full carpow review.
Love this! *takes note of rego EQH74M as a "demo model" NOT to buy! * haha
1:45 That is spot on! XD
Have wanted to own a Golf R and this MK8 looks and sounds awesome. At about NZD$75k I be working my ass off to buy it....
The passion in moogs grin says it all.
Love how old mate grabs the jesus bar so fast
