22:21 You know its getting serious when the rear wiper comes on for no reason at all! 😆👍

Misha, You NEED to make a video with a professional Drifter where you finally learn how to drift, this would be so cool !

4:02 Classic - turned on steering heating :D

[RRobbin]

Both the R and GTI look like so much fun to drive on track 🔥🔥

Make a new Corrado, Volkswagen. With the same kind of rear biased AWD as your new Golf sport models. With a new high reving lightweight NA VR6. No hybrid BS or anything else that would add weight. Do it - we know you want to, and you know we want that kind of car.

The Golf will forever be one of the most beautiful cars out there.

[DullBoyJack]

Wow, that 8.5R looks like an autocross machine right out of the box.

[davidsmall]

If only the club sport would come to the US.😢

13:15 "Misha, first time for you to drive alone" I almost cried from laugh LMAO

[maxbiagi]

BIG PLEASE to EU car producer: "Stop fkn putting the fake sounds to the speaker" 😂

[TheEryk]

VW should do lap record for the FWD cars.

[RDSAlphard]

I'm glad to see VW made the AWD system in Golf R more rear biased! I'm sure some drivers would prefer this because it's more fun at the right circumstances!

Slightly off-topic, it's a shame Toyota is getting rid of 30F 70R torque split on their facelifted GR Yaris & GR Corolla.

I really like Benny Leuchter. First saw him on the JP Performance channel talking about the Golf 8R when it was new, that was really fun. You can feel his excitement for the car he's helped developing, always makes for a great video.

€82.000 starting in The Netherlands ☠️☠️☠️☠️ specced out nearly €100.000 for a Golf 😅

[JoshuaKoerner]

Between James of Throttle House and your videos on the subject Misha, I’m very convinced I want a Golf R. I can’t right now, so I hope they keep being made until I can :)

[markhyoutube]

I have a Clubsport 8 and its brilliant!

[JacquesTrekhaak]

God i hate that the sound of the engine is mainly coming out of the speakers (on the 8.5R)🤮

[danieldor]

to drift easier misha, its really about weight transfer and transitioning the weight from one side to the other and lift right as the weight transfers then get on the throttle. hope that will help for the future. :)
there are many techniques for drift, clutch kick, inertia drift, braking drift, lift throttle oversteer etc.
hope some of that helps for next time you go hooning :) happy slideways

[Juhsga]

That looks like so much fun, you're very lucky Misha!!
