After being V.A.G technician for over 27 years and driving hondas I would take a honda all day now work for Honda. Everything work for ever the mk 8 golf platform is a joke

Golfs are just so boring compared to this

Grea video and picked up a lot from it but am not much of a car guy but i am wanting to get into getting a audi TT mk2 as a project car but i jst want too ask what is the most reliable engine out of the range diesel or petrol? Tia

Enjoy this manual transmission, you wont drive better ever. Probably best manual shifter.

The fact they offer no 2.0L tsi either so your left with that gutless 1.5 is really annoying. It makes the Skoda Superb estate the one to go for as you can get a diesel with that

I like the Golf, but so far haven't bought one. Currently looking to change, but for £30k for the model featured, I can get a 73' plate A4 S Line with 5k miles for £28k. For me, the Audi is a much better proposition.

Thought it was a strict four seater?

The mk8 was a disaster, really

red carpets remind me of my old MG Metro 🤑

Quite a funny video, wiz tring his best not to be too enthusiastic with the praise ,but failing ,😂😂

Did you have the engine in + R mode? Or comfort?

I fail to understand why you want a “hot hatch” capable of 169 mph to look like a car that your Gran takes to Tesco ?? It shouts “I’m a Type R” and so it should well done Honda I say 👏👏👏👏👏

I’d take a used GR Yaris for literally half the price lol

In the Front there a no Gearbox Coolers, only AC,Cooling and Steering Oil

Interesting review. I would be interested to know what you think of other rivals, like the 128Ti, Megane RS and i30N.

You reviewed the car and you didn't even put in in R+ mode. Thats like putting water and rice in a rice cooker and pressing warm when you should press cook.

Nice intro 😂

Nice review, but interesting that despite these being out for 2 years I don't think I've ever seen one on the road!

I like everything about the FL5 apart from the cup holders in the middle of the back seat. More than plenty of room to make it a 5 seater.

I am a fan of VW's more mundane offerings and always end up back in one when the daily needs replacing. But for performance I am a JDM man and Id have the Civic over any of the ubiquitous hot golfs - but for the price. Tbh though, I am yet to be persuaded to replace my V5 STi RA with anything more modern - as quick, more raw and more fun. Just getting very expensive to keep on the road...

Recently bought a VW TIguan R and the parts searcher in 2024 still does not list any oil choices for neither the Tiguan nor the Golf R.. Actually finding that with a lot of parts for the evo4 motors.

Great car. I drove a ep3 for 16yrs not one problem. I dont like the black spoiler they should have kept it body coloured. And the seemed to have dropped the nighthawk black too

"i cant heel and toe, im useless like that" yeah we know youre a golf driver skillful driving and knowing what a good car feels and drives like goes over you lmao. people who review cars so biased like this, are in the same league as a PE teacher trying to teach maths. pointless

Still the worst control system ever. Even sitting still he struggled to navigate through the menus let alone trying to adjust your climate control while driving in busy roads.

Its only expensive if you cant afford it like anything in life, compared to a golf really, i mean the golf is a golf with a golf chassis, golf gearbox, golf brakes, Type R is a bespoke car thats comes with extras as the base...only true petrolheads will notice or even know the difference, which is good IMO.

Hey there Mr C. Neil here, from many moons ago, train driver from Kent. Went to GTi international with you, Iain and Morag, Andy Reynolds etc. How are you?

Here in Ireland 🇮🇪 the new civic type R is €78000 which is £67000 I think 😢

Hello, is your engine a 2.0E?

Idk, the way cars are these days, I’m liking “dated”

This is the Honda Accord type R! 😂

Living with that carpet would do my eyes on a daily basis. I do think if they knocked 5k off the price it would be more competitive.

The golf just doesn’t look sporty at all, very bland and boring as per usual.

Last of the breed ....yes it's expensive but everything is now. Future classic without a doubt

265 width tyres !

Nice car but it's ridiculously expensive for what it is. Makes even the Golf R look like a good value.

The one thing I have never liked from any Type R . The suspension is just to harsh . That banging is really irritating. Always remember driving an integra and even an Accord 25 yrs ago . When I worked for Honda . A bit Marmite for me .

Thanks for the review! Would you say the Clubsport S feels just as special?

The headlights are a much better shape

Good, informative vlogs these, can you beat a diesel car?

Don’t know if you can help me but you have inspired me to retrofit cruse to my polo but having problems with getting part No for stalks. Do you have advice on where to find correct part No for my car. Thanks Paul

Despite only owning vag cars I've always been a big Honda vtec especially 90s and early 2000s but this is just too expensive

Great short video - would love to see one of your longer road tests in it - it’s certainly an acquired taste, compared to the VAG group hot hatches, but, I have always enjoyed being a bit left field with my car choices

Looks the Bollox , unlike the golf R , it looks the part , would I pay 50k No , I would buy a i20N and leave 30k in the bank

It's the usual theme running all the so right comments here; price. When I got fed up with my Mk8's initial problems I also put down a deposit for one of these. Journo's raved as per but it's not them putting their hard earned across the table. 50K please sir. Don't know how the salesman kept a straight face. Deposit back and glad I did.

Not for me.

Bargain for what you get. ALL new cars are up in cost! New GR yaris for example. There are no options as fully loaded. All respected journalists and magazines have rated this car. Controls looks amazing and simple to use. Gearbox amazingly, seats amazing, engine bullet proof!

good review ive got the fk2 type r i used to own a mk5 golf r32 and ive driven a mk7 r and s3 so glad i bought the type r
