The VW Golf R can be a little weird!

I actually loved the fact the seats were manual on my 2018 GTI but the recline was automated so you got the perfect recline but you didn’t have to wait forever to move forward and back.

I see nobody has mentioned how convenient it is having the passenger seat manual with the lever design it has. You can easily move the passenger seat while sitting in the drivers seat. Other cars you may not be able to reach the electric controls on the side and have to get out of the car and walk around

Less to break with a manual seat and lighter. And the rear view camera has been a thing forever now

Well, the gear selecter is the same one found in Porsche's 911...

I’m glad he kept repeating of this is a golf R. Honestly, I was so lost and confused the entire video. I really had no idea what car he was talking about.🙏

I had a chair adjusting motor on my bmw break once. Cost $300 for each. I’ll take manual any day

[srca]

None of that matters when your doing donuts around muscle cars in the rain when racing them on rainy days 😎👍

I love how the R with DSG hits 60 in 4 seconds and hits the 1/4 mile in the high 12's and will spank the Civic Type R and Corolla GR in the "Real World".

Great car. The rear view camera is just great. When it is raining other cars have a "not hidden camera" and the half of the cameraview is full of water. This one is also great at bad weather!

You forgot the bonnet/hood strut has to be manually positioned and not gas struts like previous models,

[postsmoko]

Apart from the heated steering wheel and the colours available everything else also applies to a standard golf mk 8 as well

[samhalbert]

They should add some more color options for the R. Love the yellow GTI color.

Camera feature is available on previous models, gear selector is used by other manufacturers no one talks about that. I am over VW but the car is underrated. Easy to drive everyone can drive it, not really challenging or a drivers car. AWD is more like SWD some wheel drive.

Idc about the gear selectors on automatics its not a manual so they shoudnt try be one paddle shifters are sick tho

[doloresberry]

I like the shifter. No need to have a huge knob on an auto. Waste of space

[slamthonyy]

My buddy’s 22 GTI with the same trans and shifter has been in the shop 4 times now for issues regarding the transmission and the gear selector not registering itself in park, therefore making it unable to shift into any other gear. If it has another issue they are forced to lemon law the car

[themilkmen]

Tbh the passenger seat is a great idea because who’s to say every single passenger is going to be comfortable in the same position…. And when they get in they don’t wanna wait (nor does the driver) for the seat to slowly adjust itself

The camera has worked the same way since MK7 Golf, GTI & R. Nothing new.

I’ve always liked the VW Logo trunk handle. Many golf’s have had it, along with the Beetle and CC

[pwollerman]

The gearshift is fine because it also has paddle shifters.
