      That's true. Yet strangely VW has a tyre lottery system where the Mk8 Golf GTI and R come on one of three summer tyres: Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Sport, Bridgestone Potenza S005A (Auto Express say Potenza Sport for the R, so maybe this has changed) or Hankook Ventus S1 evo3. So you don't even know which tyre you will get.

    I mean, I have the 1.0l 110hp 6spd manual Seat Leon and even that feels fun and light on its feet. It’s responsive and when it’s safe to, you can really throw it in to a corner. Granted the electric power steering really doesn’t give me too much feedback but it’s really fun to drive and for a 110hp 1.0l 3 cylinder turbo, once you’re on boost, it’s just gets up and goes. The only bad part of the whole Leon range is the infotainment as there are a number of errors and bugs and glitches that occur

  • @gordoredpb9
    @gordoredpb9 3 роки тому +3

    Might have missed it, but would have been great to know if the Golf R was equipped with active dampers, or not and what “mode” it was placed in. I’m sure Steve would have set it up as best as possible, but mentioning its state of config would have been a good addition to the vid. I wish VW South Africa had not bungled the Seat offering in SA; it was never going to sell well against the VW Golf / Polo equivalent at a similar price point. Such great handling cars.

    A few tenths between each car? Doubt you can say anything conclusive other than they're all about as fast as each other. It's not that the CS is better than the R, and the Cupra is better than the CS on the track - it's that they're all pretty good.

    Yet another Golf-beating Golf from Seat. I could see why Seat were given better options in the early days with the original Leon having the 180bhp 20VT lumps from the TT compared to the GTI’s 150bhp (in non-Anniversary form) to boost their reputation, but even with exactly the same engines Seat show they’ve got some kinda engineering voodoo. It’s all money in the same pot to VAG but it’s still slightly surprising given the GTI’s status as a “halo” product.

    From many previous generations too, the Cupra's always seem to be the sharper instruments for carving up the track when compared to the equivalent VW models.
    The general VW focus tends to be vanilla and middle of the road, while the Cupra models are a little more eccentric and special.

    The difference is negligible and the question that I have is : would the lap time improve on the 3rd lap given that you would know the track better on the 3rd time compared to the 1st lap - therefore would the result have been different if the Golf R went in 3rd place?

    • @Autoexpress

    And ideally either all pan roofs or all non pan roof... alot of weight in the worst possible place that for the R and the Cupra.
    And yes.. im biased...i have a Mk8 R on 19's with no pan roof....

    He’s not driving, when you watch him talking about the seat through the slow speed corners at the start of the seat lap then it does the shot from out the car the driver is suddenly wearing sunglasses. Also the fact that the times are so close proves nothing to which car is fastest, type of tyres make a difference, tyre temp makes a difference and also the simple fact that he might have drove a better lap in the club sport rather than the R. These videos are good to watch but don’t prove anything.

      If type of tyres is so important -- why do VW fit a random choice of tyres to their cars depending on production variations? :) You can get one of three tyres on a brand new GTI or R depending on which day it's built.

    As with the previous generation the Cupra is the quickest and by all means the better car. Especially when considering the price, spec and the vanishing interior quality difference after VWs cuts. However, the CS still is the Best Buy I suppose? The badge and heritage cannot be underestimated

    with the R, Drift Mode might have helped in that tight track to rotate it, or individual might have shaved off a couple tenths

    • @jryalls
      @jryalls 3 роки тому +2

      It doesn’t have drift mode as it’s not equipped with the Performance Pack. Also, I might be wrong but I don’t think it really works at high speed, I think it’s more for power sliding out of junctions and skidding about at lower speeds.

      Performance Pack gives you drift mode, a spoiler and removes the speed restriction. All of these things are irrelevant in this test.

    That was a but unfair, the R miss the Performance Pack, that the other two has standard. That include the 19" with the "same" tires. With that the R would be as fast....In rain 10sec faster ;).. But great Video :)

    Reason why the cupra is quicker because it has something that comes standard with all cupra models over vw and Audi
    come on experts what is it and it’s nowt todo with gearboxes, engines suspension, brakes
