In this video which is first of a series of 8 celebrating 45 years of the Golf GTI, I give you a detailed insight into what is indisputably the craziest GTI ever, the stripped out, record breaking GTI Clubsport S of 2016

I've got to say this as it really bugs me - the Clubsport S has a red pinstripe on its seatbelts, I have a standard spec Clubsport and it has plain black seat belts, but I've sold another Clubsport with bucket seats which has the red pin stripe - so I can only assume if it has bucket seats, you get the pin stripe! If you have a Clubsport with leather, you don't appear to get the pinstripe either (but you do get red stitching at least - Edition 35 had red pinstripe seatbelts but boring black leather with black stitching).

Now that's why he's called VolksWIZARD peeps. Well done young Andrew, I found it really interesting and looking forward to the remainder of the '45' series.👍

I really love mine, ive done about 40k miles in it and still enjoy it so much. Bit of tweaking makes it even more fun

I am on my second Clubsport S’s. Currently own a tornado red car with AC. Prices seam to be on the up and up. Red being the rarest colour and the best looking. Great video btw. 👍

Two and a half yrs ago i bought my R, the dealer had a club sport S for sale too 10k on the clock, i said to him i would probably never again get the chance to drive one, so he very kindly let me take it out for drive, simply awesome! I loved it, it took me straight back to driving a mk1 gti but on steroids so quick. Do i wish i had bought it? As a daily for me the R was a little more practical. I still have a little vid of me driving it that the wife took i hasten to add, when she calmed down enough to hold my phone Lol. Well i do really wish now i had 😔.

Great new series, this is one of the videos I have enjoyed the most so far. The Mk7 GTI CS-S is a truly special car. I am reminded of it every day in my Mk7 GTI PP, as I fitted the CS-S mid and rear mufflers, which is such a huge improvement over the stock rubbish exhaust. Cheers mate

Watched this video so many times, the best one you've ever done. Deserves so many more views. My favourite car VW have ever made, a great story and as you said, we're very lucky to even get this car. So, so special and I just love everything about it!

[kristijancoric]

9 more years and I can import one of these to Canukistan. But by then these babies will be worth your weight in gold. I adore this car.😊

The second car I ever bought in 1985 was a Mk1 Golf GTI 1.8 registered in May 1983. Looking at pictures of it I so wish I had kept it but of course at the time you want something "better" and at the time I could never afford to have kept it & bought something else. I hope you will cover that model. Looking on the DVLA site it's tax expired in 2005 so lasting 21 years is testament to VW build quality.

just watched this video again after looking it up to send to someone else- it really is a brilliant video (and car obv) 👍

[billx]

Nice video but you have to admit it, this looks way better then the mk8... I have also a manual clubsport, 3 doors. its gonna be my last gti because i cannot get used to the

[MKIEVA]

the honest reaction at the end is best. it is a great car isn't they do a special with the MK8 GTI on par with that car.

[kentowers]

I owned #237 - definitely a special car. Much more than the sum of its parts. Have owned a cupra 290 and 7.5GTI since and the CSS is another league though basically the same car.

Feel the same about mine - totally understand why you sold yours and why you maybe regret it. I sold it as I was too precious over it and felt I couldn’t enjoy it to its full in fear of devaluing it. Really was epic to drive. Loved the noise, the driving position and the way it went down a B road.

[MrMedven]

This is the GTI.
Wanted at least Clubsport, but had to settle with GTD.

Thanks for this great content. Love your style, calmness and of course VWs.

[samk]

Great review - love the sound! My GTI 7.5 manual sounds crap in comparison. Interested if you think it’s as responsive into the corners as your MK8? Obviously the weight differences factor but is the steering as tuned in or do you still feel planted with as much grip?

[ThomasHarrisonLord]

That was superb, thank you - looking forward to the next video in the series!

[cynicalmanc]

Another great video just makes me wish I'd kept my 17 plate Clubsport Edition 40 3 door the only car I've ever owned I regret selling. Probably still worth today what I sold it for?

[thamilawrence]

I am privileged to have driven this car no. 387 here in South Africa one belonging to my friend. I have seen it in action and my word what a car. I would never have known how brilliant it is had it not been for the practical experience of it. What a machine.👌

[Zero_Ninety]

The fact that VW will never make a car like this again makes me sad in my heart.

[London-united-kingdom]

Amazing car I just think for a road/track car the TCR I prefer and maybe be doing a Stage 3 conversion to approx 500 bhp, but would love the clubsport s seats on my TCR

[michaelglisson]

Awesome video! Man you guys and gals in Europe are so freaking lucky to get such totally awesome cars like that! We only get the sanitized versions with comfortable dampers and non-comfortable leather seats. We have to make our own versions here in the US. Great in theory, but mostly worthless as resealable cars anyone wants. Really hoping the Golf R Mk8 is as good as I've heard. So looking forward to test driving the GTI and R. Be safe and have fun doing it driving!
