Is the VW Golf GTI TCR Special to DRIVE? (290HP)

The last of the MQB performance Golf's that I've been due to drive. Impressive car in that spec/tyres, in terms of being any different to what I've experienced before, probably not so much.

Make sure to check out VW Cardiff for any deals/info on a VW:

The last of the performance MQB hatch’s that I had left to review, next stop is the MK8 GTI when it launches 😂

The only thing I think they should have done on the TCR that they didn't do is offer bucket seats like the Clubsport had. Those are wicked.

My TCR has 1400 miles on the clock now and the Akrapovic exhaust is really bedding in nicely. Loads more pops and bangs then when new and sounds awesome on the overrun once hot 👍🏻

I like how genuine you are from being a golf fan boy. You hold the cupra with true honest high regard even though you know it may not appeal to everyone because it doesn’t have the vw badge.
If they had this in a manual I’d be interested. But oh well. Least the cupra and golf r still has them.

It didn't sound as good as I thought it would with an akro exhaust.

Finally a YouTuber doing a video on a front wheel drive MQB car that remembers that a Cupra exists and is actually different to the normal Golf GTi 👍🏼

I defo like the look of the club sport better still really nice tho

[citroenvtr]

Like your GTI'S and the vids keep it up cheers

My Seat Leon cupra 290 2019 edition gets delivered this Friday. I'd love you to review the car sometime if possible as there is basically nothing on youtube like this in english! It's all bloody Spanish 😂

[JustBeerz]

So many variants with the same engine whatawaste

[speedmaster]

Good review of a great car. I would love one in Pure Grey. Like the appreciation of the surroundings, you’ll be on Countryfile before you know it!

[SPIKE-]

That car is mint..inside and out..can't fault it upon first seeing it in this vid. What a tough choice between that..a Clubsport S..an R and a Cupra....I think the German Market spoil us Brits as a society..and we appreciate it....:)....

[joebannister]

Nice to see a local run to myself. Should've taken this over to the Black Mountain pass, superb roads. 👌🏼

15 minutes from my house!

[MyJarrus]

basically same as the seat leon cupra with front wheel drive

I would definitely take the tcr over a r just more fun and lighter as well

[thereagan]

Even tho it has the optional exhaust the sound was still pretty dead tbh.

[Burnerbeats]

@9:36 Bro where is that place!! WOWWW THE TCR DOEEE

[GundogJake]

That’s the perfect golf for me, such great cars....from an rs3 owner 😊

[SEGASaturnLad]

You know Hamza you're channel is a breathe of fresh air mate. You dont go ramming shite merchandise of questionable quality (do ppl actually buy that shite?), not interested to forcing fucking patroen at every point and also not hiding you're videos behind a patroen paywall. But most of all mate youre a lad who loves cars and you are not trying or thinking you will be the next Clarkson. FYD, Lockwood and 😂 Jesse and the rest of them could learn a few from yourself. Keep it up mate 👍👍

[andresrivera]

Basically a fwd golf R for boys that don't want to modify there car and wants something fast out the box 🤷🏽‍♂️

[MUEEZ]

TR Hamza...the next best British person after Jeremy Clarkson 😂
