The VW looks like a rental car from the airport. The BMW looks spot on in my opinion. BMW is the clear winner here.

Your performance numbers are just wrong. I had the mk7.5 GTI with the exact same engine as this mk8 GTI. It was quick, but my new BMW 128ti feels distinctly stronger. And, the BMW is quicker on paper. You just didn't check the fine detail, did you?

I have a gti mark 8 and I love it , everyone goes on about no buttons but don’t agree, set it up the way you to drive then leave it alone, car handles really well and is simply a great drive .

Sorry but regardless of what transmission the Golf GTI has the 128ti is quicker. Misleading facts check every other review.

Agree that the BMW is the winner. Better looking, better driving, better costs. I love it

Don't assume you will get Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres if you chose the no-cost performance tyre option. I chose it, and got Pirelli P Zeros :-( I enquired about this with BMW online and with my dealership. The online team, said, yes, you get Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres :-) Why then, I asked, did my car have Pirellis? Silence. My dealer dug deeper with BMW UK and confirmed that the performance tyre option can end up with a number of performance tyres, not exclusively Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Hence the option the configurator simply saying "Performance tyres" and not Michelin's specifically. So, beware. Regardless, the Pirellis are still better than the standard Bridgestones in my opinion. Oh, and the car is bloody fantastic!

The 128ti seems really cool but alas is not available in the states. Maybe someday?

Cheapest quality in Golf, expecially inside

Yup there’s no Golf in GTi anymore. BMW looks way better and I don’t really trust VW numbers anyway, it’d eat Ti dust I reckon.

My sister just bought one, can wait to try it out!

I have the Golf 8 R Line as a company car and the build quality and tech is terrible. My wife on the other hand has just ordered a M135i and the build quality and tech is far supreme. All imo.
I hope you kept to the 40mph speed limit in the New Forest. 😜

Love my bike but that MK8 front dash and infotainment is absolutely terrible. I can’t believe how cheap and nasty it looks. Those touch buttons are awful. The Golf fog lights can’t be used with having the night time head lights on which is plain dumb. Touch steering wheel buttons are idiotic no matter which car. The BMW interior simply kills the Golf.

Both great cars, But a Beamer is always better than VW.

Poor review. BMW always undersell their performance figures. Other reviews have ACTUALLY reviewed their respective performance and the BMW easily takes it.
