I really really dont like the trend of "lets make everything digital" in the interior that every car brand is doing... They cut costs and yet, every year prices are up...

[lamma]

That car is now rare, with a stamped rory reid face print on the engine cover

[Dgnkrty]

Its an incredible car but i think the price of these hot hatches is getting crazy

[FixieFarquhar]

I just love how honest Rory and AutoTrader are...fast becoming my favourite independent car review company. Keep it up!!

Who else watch car reviews as if you're actually going to buy the car, or am I alone?

[asifhirji]

“You earn your noise”...it’s comments like this that make this gentleman one of the best reviewers out there. Well done!

[shanjanusman]

A fabulous review for definite. Rory is just amazing and knows how to review a car. Every Friday always waiting for one of his reviews.

Someone in VW Press has now been fired for not giving Rory the right car. LOL

[hdjhdhdbfhk]

I prefer the mk7.5 is the best looking imo

[gegabit-]

That's why we love you RORY, you always says what you think, the honest truth. Thank you.

[atobee]

Vw really f’d up the interior, just looks so meh

[bganesh]

So informative, Rory does really know how to review a car, love the country side

[Mkhehla]

This car is amazing, but it's funny how I've decided that I'd rather get the Audi S3, when I can't even afford the entry level Golf...🥴

[EricLV]

I'm really pleased to see you got nearly half a mill subbies.... so well merited. Rory, you're the best in the biz - no doubt abt that...

[jamesvaile]

Love the review. Unfortunately it confirms my fear, that the stereo, sat nav etc is a pain in the bum and for that reason alone I will not be getting one. I was so looking forward to this car coming out.

[adamkashif]

I have the new mk8r and hands down what a beautiful car to drive. It surprises me everyday! You don’t know what these cars are about until you get behind the wheel

[bycarlsjunior]

Rory is definitely one of the best car journalist out there.

[obibrenbenobi]

You are the first person that I know of to mention good quality interior and this VW Golf in the same sentence. Interesting

[ShanerHulk]

Several reviews have tested it 0-60 4.02 seconds. Underrated numbers for VW

[vannelclaudihno]

Yet another lovely review. Audi S3 vs A35 vs Golf R vs Hyundai i30 N facelift. Let's gooo.
