  • By far the best lookin hatches around!

  • yes

  •  golf R32

  • one day

  • Come on beamers, volskwagons are friends not food. Except on the racetrack :P

  • when is it coming out!?

  • when is this coming to the U.S?

  • lol, engine compartment view.. look what i got under the hood dude!.....mmmmm a bunch of plastic.............nice man.....niiiiiiiice.

  • if this comes to Canada I will buy its ASAP

  • my bmw e30 will smoke the blue of the gti r

  • @sxmbmwe30 cool story bro

  • A Scirocco R is a little slower but is better than the golf..

  • man this car looks so dope. I should of got this instead of the Tiguan 2010. Guess it was a good choice for me. I will probably have 1 speeding ticket every week with this car.

  • wow i didnt know a hatch could look so...dam good!

  • i was a golf fan but i had 2003 that distroy the ripeutation of all vw cars it had auto trans wich was pice of junk this model made me heat vw,but can`t forget my mk1 gti

  • i hope they offer a 6spd manual and not only the DSG

  • lol @ americans comparing their crappy cars to anything made anywhere else

  • @Ironmannatio Audi S3 and 335M are not new so and pretty cheap so obviously the price tag will be appealing. Give it a few years and the when newer & more expensive cars come out then the R will become cheap and appealing to you perhaps. Oh and enjoy your 'better real wheel drive'' in the wet and snow when clearly the R's Haldex will be no contest :-)

  • such a sexy car, if only it had back doors.

  • For more info and discerning chat about the Golf R and Scirocco R, check out the RForum community. Google for "golf r forum" to find us!

  • To bad they stopped making the R32's

  • Why? The R is better than the R32 in every way.

  • drooling....

  • such a great car! WOW

  • Such a beautiful car ! And 4WD. Amazing.

  • Does the Golf R come in 5 door?

  • Yes, it does ;-)

    And the difference to a GTI is not only the tuned up engine, it is also the fact that this car is an All Wheel Drive :-)

    I like it *Thumbs Up*

  • @MrSHIZZLE4u just a 3 i think

  • Nice car but I'm not pay £28,500 for a golf.

  • i think its about 31k now, its a joke

  • Yea bloody joke. It actually has the same engine as my MK5 GTI except its tuned with upgraded engine components. When i look at that engine bay everything looks the same except the engine cover.

  • Your comment doesn't make sense. And the reason it doesn't make sense is because you don't know what you're talking about. Engine may look the same but it will perform better...

    Comparing the R engine to your Gti's, ( to list a fraction of upgrades) it has bigger K04 turbo, turbine, actuator, injectors, housing to DV, oil lines, water lines, intermediate flange, air circulation pipe, pressure hose...... ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • @Bobsport69 even if it handles better I don't think its worth it. I mean i would rather just buy an Audi s3 a secondhand couple 335M sport. Paying that much for a Golf you might as well buy something better with rear wheel drive like the bmw. Just my opinion!

  • i like the title: "Fastest Golf ever" :)

  • It just looks fuckin great. I dont know why are you discussing like shit.

  • dadddy carrr!!!!!

  • needs more power.... it's awd and it has the same average 0-60 as the ss cobalt.... just kinda a fail.......

  • bro are you joking?? 0 - 100 in 5.5 seconds (and thats what vw say and any real car fan would know vws estimates are higher than they should be) so a golf that does 60 mph in LESS than 5.5 seconds and gives you trademark vw technology and handling is most likely to outperform any 100 thousand dollar car... so fail is the shit you just said lets see how a fuckn cobalt would do aganst a golf r on a track...

  • @GioDjurovic ..... i dunno considering that the Volkswagen Golf R32 can do nurburgring in 8:49.... and the cobalt did it in 8:22.... i'm not really feeling threatened.... not to mention the fact that the golf r shares almost everything with the Audi tts (except golf r gets worse gas mileage and weighs more) and that ran more than 6 seconds slower than my "fuckn cobalt"..... i'm pretty sure if i put my car back down to stock i'd still shit on this golf r on the track......

  • ...but in end dude your still driving a Cobalt and seriously the Chevy Cobalt cosmetically is gotta be one of the ugliest looking cars ever made. After a year or 2 of driving it the Cobalt is gonna start rattling and come apart cause of it's cheap assembly and parts. Why do think GM was doing bad cause of it's poor attention to making a solid quality car. Sorry buddy i know... the truth sometimes hurts. So do yourself a favor and test drive a german car that will hold it's value.

  • well i had a supercharged cobalt (til someone ran a red light).... i put 49k on the car in 1 and a 1/2 years pretty much stock..... never had any problems with it.... and this may will be my 2 years with my ss/tc..... not only do i get compliments all the time on the car (took that gay ass wing off go check my vids almost everyone loves how clean/simple/sleeper my car is) i've also had 300+whp and 340+wtq on stock everything (clutch, motor, turbo) for about 30k so far, there is 45k on the car

  • btw i've had 7 friends so far that drive either gti's or gli's (5 years old or less... in one case only a year old...) in my car and told them all i have is a tune, drop in air filter, and downpipe and ran 12.8@112.8mph........ 2 of them sold there cars to get either a 4 door or 2 door cobalt..... and 2 of them now own a ss/tc and a gti/gli lol..... maybe you should do yourself a favor and give the car a chance before you judge it.... enjoy the stock twinscroll k04, don't call it crap and hide

  • @drelectro I'm all for the Golf GTI (actually, its gonna be my first car), but my Grandpa has a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria. It has nearly 200,000 miles on it. How many mechanical repairs? Guess? 10? 20? Noooo...... ZERO! Yeah, its the truth. Its not hurting me! He drives it every day. My Mom's previous Volvo had a dying transmission and many other previous repairs before then at that age. (and I know, its not German. Its Swedish.) Only did driving in town to get us to school. Do some research.

  • @drelectro But I can say.... There is one American car company that is crappy. Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, and Jeep. I said one because they are all run together.

  • @drelectro or jappanese

  • will it be coming to the US?

  • Nice looking Car, even if it does share most of its parts with the current Audi s3.

    I currently have a 2008 DSG R32 (running on KW coil overs and uprated ARB's) its an awesome Car.

    I'm sure the new one will be too + its allot cheaper to tune, wont be to long b4 you see some 350bhp + ones around.

    I've ordered a Scirocco R (didnt want another golf it would have been my 4th in a row) The Golf or the S3 would have been the more sensible buy but I was just sold on the way the Rocco looks :)

  • LOL GOOD ONE HYPOCRITE. im 19 IDIOT, UNSUCCESSFUL LOSER, FAILURE AT LIFE!!! you got too much time on your hands how about you stop living on youtube and get a job that pays.

  • japanese cars and germans are best...

  • 1. it was heavy

    2. overpriced

    3. understeer

    IDIOT NO ONE CALLED THE R32 A 5 CYLINDER, IT WAS A RESPONSE TO SOMEONE WHO WAS TALKING ABOUT 5 CYLINDERS. AND BTW IT'S A VR6 DUMBFK. GET UR WIKIPEDIA STRAIGHT. AND GO DRIVE YOUR PIECE OF SHIT JAPANESE CARS AND QUIT DREAMING ABOUT CARS U CANT AFFORD.

  • @mikepartyboy Nothing wrong with it. Just add the Haldex Gen2 controller and you can shift the bias to the rear. Understeer gone. They only make the street version bias toward the front wheels because it's more predictable for average drivers. You're somewhat misguided.

  • can't get enough of this car...i want it so baddddd!

  • I'm glad Mk6 gti is lighter than Mk5 gti.

    Should make some difference.

    VW gotta use some Rwd based Awd system and not their darn 4motion crap

  • If this car is in the low 30k's w/ nav. ill sell my mk4 and sprint to the dealers to get me one of deez

  • Couldnt agree more with Soskouy, such a shame they didnt use the 5 cyl 2.5 :(

  • this sucks, its ugly for the second time in a row (i have a mk4 R), it only looks good from the front, from the rest it looks lik ea mini minivan

    also turbo 4 cyl 2.0L turbo please kill me, what happend to R32 grunt 6 cyl 3.2L!

    2.0L is tiny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 at least 2.5 5cyl turbo jesus

  • stop fucking complaining as always. This car will absolutly destroy an R32 MK4 or MK5 while getting better fuel economy and a better weight distribution.

  • I agree with you on the design Soskouy, the front looks good but the rear lights just look far to wide.

    As for the engine though it all done in the name of cutting emissions which isnt such a bad thing and its much faster than the old r32.

  • I dunno.. I have mixed feelings. Yeah a 2.0L is small, but so what? There have been some powerful little engines like the one in the EVO X.

    On a side note, I think the emissions on the 3.2L is bullshit actually. We should just be the 49 states of America and separate from those idiots in Cali that keep ruining everything with their environmental dribble!

    Really.. I think sometimes it's just a bias on imports because I don't see complaints about American 6.0L+ engines!

  • If you didn't noticed vw wasnt very happy with the mkV r32 sales.

    Reasons being.

    1. it was heavy

    2. overpriced

    3. understeer

    and 5 cylinder?? sounds like u should be looking at volvos

  • Downsizing oblige, V6 is going to become more and more uncommon :( It's really sade about this nice sound but we also have to think about our planete so there we are... And it has better performance than R32 and more power, incredible! I find it quiet nice despite the 4zyl

  • 5 zyl is way to powerful for that car. 340hp in a golf sounds good but it will compete with other vw models. What is really upsetting is the price of this R !! You're paying for the hp and not for the V6 that you could get for the same price ! It's way to expensif for what it is !

  • I like it !

  • mam cennik golfa r w polsce 131000 zł z manualem i 139890 z dsg. Porównując do golfa r32 mkV jest taniutki. Do salonu ludzie... Najlepsze są sportowe fotele za 16000 zł, ale i tak za 150000 można już mieć dynaudio, nawigację i parę gadżetów. W Niemczech podstawowa wersja z dsg to ok. 160000 także będą po niego przyjeżdzać. Dear Germanische men thank you that car in Polen costs 33000 euro mit Dsg...

  • We'll never see this car in Canada.

    *Weeps for VWca*

  • yes we will see it i think

  • It´s NOT a TFSI engine, but the new TSI !!!

  • the front grill looks really audi

  • Que preciosidad y potrancada de caballos para ese pequeño

  • my dad has this lol

  • Cool. Now upload a vid so to believe you. Thanks,

  • They only just started taking orders you penis.....

  • very nice . with an apr stage one chit it runs 322 hps and 321 tq for just $ 600 . the car dosent weight much so it will be pretty fast

  • do you mean it makes 321 Nm at 322hp? I think stock it makes 350Nm from 2500-5000, while hp peaks @ 6000 or something

  • @beaudjangles those are not Nms but ft-lbs which calculates that 321ft-lbs is 435 Nm of torque

  • i hear ya now, that is quite insane

  • This car better come to the U.S.

  • i just "jizzed in my pants" !!!! when i saw this!!!!  cant wait 2 c this car

  • this car is pretty hot

  • in love after seeing this car i love volkswagens

  • you should love volkswagons anyway :)

  • isn't the R32 the fastest golf? it definately has more power than this car...

  • this is the next gen R32...there is no more R32

  • R32 had 237hp, this has 266hp.

  • hp isnt everything, this cars much lighter

  • it is the fastest golf available at the moment, and it does have more power but is heavier because of the 4wheel drive and such. this will be faster when it is released :)

  • nope!!!

    less torque and hp.

    250hp vs 266hp

    and dunno torque figures but it more im affraid!!! Same or more than the s3.

  • when i get out of uni, im fucking buying that car and shovng in an air filter, as u do!

  • u get me brother!!! im doin the same as u mate

  • yes mate, its gonna be so sick!!

  • Honda's ooze blandness and mediocrity, whereas VW's ooze class, fun, and engineering prowess!

    German > Japanese

  • Honda's actually make pretty good used cars. And Honda's rev pretty good... to get serious will require nitro and huge turbo to compensate for the (lack of) torque.

    VW's are like cheaper BMW's... affordable refinement, pretty good interior for the price and engines with torque. Just crank dat' turbo on yer GTI and you are set to go. This Golf R is FAR better than R32 .. superior fuel mileage!!! Very good.

    A person can actually appreciate Honda and VW.

  • Yeah, I agree about it being better than an r32. People will miss that vr6 sound, but that's probably it, once they drive it. VW is leaping beyond BMW though.

  • that thing is so fucking cool, I love it!!!!

  • Absolutely GORGEOUS car, in every respect! Looks classy, yet agressive. Very upscale Audi-like interior. Decent gas mileage for an AWD 266 HP monster. And 0-60 in 5.2 seconds! What an engineering marvel. VW is cutting edge! Great job! Now PLEASE bring this car stateside!

  • its coming in the US !! :D

  • Honda > VW

  • VW > Honda in every aspects, sorry

  • HAHAHAH you wish

    stop dreaming buddy

    BMW and Merc > VW in every aspect

    VW is wannabe BMW and Merc.

    Wannabe classy but not quite there.

  • Of course but it's also less expensive, on the other hand Honda is far behind... You're the one that is dreaming, do you have a life ? or you like posting shit on every VW videos you find on Youtube ?

  • Don't be a tool man. VW is just as progressive of an auto company as mercedes and bmw, if not more so.

  • Except for the S2000, Hondas fucking BLOW! Honda's are old lady cars.

  • VW is for old men with small dicks

    that means, its suitable for you!!!

    HAAH enjoy your piece of shit VW small dick man

  • LOL! Funny... my 'member' is of ample proportions, quite frankly. It's really no wonder you take a strong interest in my schlong you cocksmoker! Now take a hike Honda fuckwit...

  • YAY an old man with small dick smoked 'TypeDoubleR' with his Civic :D YAY :D

  • I was wrong! My first impressions of this car was not that great, but if so changed my mind. This car looks the part. Its the best looking golf since the MK4 R32. Sexy wheels too.

  • VERY sexy wheels!!! Never liked the 'Hufheisens' on the GTI's.

  • americans should not comment on cars that are popular in the UK and vice versa, its totally different. When i am in the uS i want big fat cars with 18 cup holders and cruise control. In the UK i want small quick and good handling.

  • Many 'savvy' drivers in the U.S. love small and quick too!

  • UGGGGGLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  • You should have your head examined! This car oozes class, beauty, and refinement!

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    class = no

    beauty = no

    refinement = no

    UGLY SHIT MOTHERFUCKER = YES

  • stfu u honda fan

  • You must be talking about crappy looking Hondas.

  • I love how VW kept the overall look the same with some tweaks here and there. A lot of car companies usually start to feel like they have to make dramatic changes visually to their top selling models but just ruin what most consumers loved in the first place. Great job VW for keepin it real!

  • Eh? VW is just trying to make a lot of money without spend to much money in new cars... thats the point... and btw with all there other brands too, especially audi! VW, Audi, Seat and so on.. VW´s brands and cars based on each other, VW is a very very cheap company and just for conservative driver.

  • Sir , you dont know what you are talking about !! VW are awesome and quality, sporty cars.

  • Optically, ya, but nothing more. Well, quality? Compared to american cars? For sure! But nothing compared to BMW, Mercedes or Porsche. VW is, except for Opel, the worst german car manufacturer... cheap and petrol saving cars for everyone, practical but not awesome!

  • WTF ? VW is like Toyota, Honda, Mazda ... not porsche, bmw, mercedes audi ... wtf do you expect ? It's not the worst german car manufacturer, it's because they cost less than luxury brands.

  • Saying VW´s awesome sounds like u have never heard of for example BMW... VW´s like Toyota? Ya, thats my opinion too. Not the worst? How much do u know? In germany we got VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and Opel... after opel VW´s definitely the worst when its abbout quality and technology.

  • AS I SAID BEFORE, IT IS NORMAL BECAUSE VW ARE CHEAPER THAN AUDI BMW MERCEDES AND PORSCHE. Is it so hard to understand ? You cant get a better car for thousands of $ less.

  • Still, VW owns Audi Porsche Lamborghini Bugatti Bentley so they can easily make a car that is better than a Mercedes or BMW...

  • you are totally wrong on this 1....

    just because a company is big and powerful does not mean they can make a better car.

    First of all vw does not make porsche neither bentley or audi....

    A quick example.

    Look at ford, a huuuude company, not as big as vw but what can they make a better car then even a simple brand like vw???

    vw can never compare to technologie of bmw or mercedes. As the brand states, its the people car its not meant to be all fancy and full of tech

  • ''As the brand states, its the people car its not meant to be all fancy and full of tech ''

    Seriously ? Then look at the VW Phaeton.

  • Well yeah people car,

    but the people need to have the best for the cheapest.

    You want high class go buy an S class you want bang for the buck go get a Phaeton.

    How many on the road do you see though???

  • a car that cost 80k is not what I call a people car LOL.

  • So what you are telling me vw is not the peoples car??

    have you every been in germany bro.... do you know how much regural people in germany make??

    and to answer your question yeah 80k car made from vw is the people car.... you know if mercedes made a car like the phantom it will cost around double the prize. So yeah its still cheap compare to what it has to offer inside....

  • If VW is the peoples car then Honda, Toyota and others are even more than that.

  • vw WAS the peoples car when it was founded, but that was a long time ago. Today they make the same tech savvy cars like any other car maker. As a good example, look at the DSG or Dual-Clutch automatic which was developed by vw. u can now find it in audi's ,bmw's and merc's.

    vw doesn't technicaly make bentley or audi, but they have been owned by vw for a long time. Since the economic downturn screwed porsches plans to buy over 50% of vw, they ended up owning porsche too.

  • except Bentley. Bentley was bought recently.

  • if i remember correctly bentley was bought in 1998... so depending on the point of view, it was more or less recently ;)

  • Oh, I agree, it's been a while. How cool is the golf r by the way?

  • anyway this Golf R compete with the Audi S3, kills the BMW 130i and eats the B Class from Mercedes for breakfast. Not bad for a Volkswagen eh ? ;) VW is much better than it's competitors such as Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Ford, Chrysler, Hyundai etc.

  • Quality isnt about speed...

  • What happened to the R32? That engine sounds SO GOOD.

  • this one can only sound better

  • Whaat? Have you ever heard an R32 in real life? They sound REALLY good.

  • im getting one of this for christmas..

  • Why not? The MKV R32 was way better than BMW's 130i M-sport, and this new one will beat the ass of it as well. Mercedes is lacking a pure superhatch...

  • Looks bland. Sorry.

  • Yep - looks rubbish. Intentionally bland Vs GTI, but looks as bland as a GT.

  • another beautiful golf with the price that you cant afford...

  • amazing car

  • Gotta love that Golf. Immense!

  • name the music please???

  • das is toll

  • i think its good they switched to the 2.0 engine but ill miss the six shooter tho...

  • Paint so nice

  • I have a 2008 R32 and this looks to be a worthy replacement even with the loss of the r32 exhaust note. The only really question is how much does it weigh? The R32 is a 3,500 porker (that I love). I hope they cut at least 500 pounds on this generation.

  • SAAN de cu é rola !!!

  • SAAB?

  • price is up but fuel consumption is down and performance is up _ so u dont lose that much

  • The Mazdaspeed 3 is HOT, as is the Golf R. Both very very VERY nice cars capable of putting a big smile on your face!

  • I want this car so bad in canada!!!!

  • I was anxiously waiting for this car to be revealed. It's much much improved over R32. The coolest I liked is the 0-60 time. It's just 5.5sec with dsg and 5.7 with manual :)

    Plus fuel consumption is greatly improved over R32. It's just 8.3/100km

  • 0-62mph that is actually. So i guess 0-60 in about 5.3?

  • God this makes me wanna trade in my MKV. Too bad I still owe money on it, and probably STILL will by the time this R comes out.

    For the R20, ECU flash = STI killa :)

  • i love vw but the price is going to be just too high i'm guessing 30-35k its not a good deal when you can buy a mazda speed 3 for around 25k

  • yeah but, the golf is in a totally different class. ive heard some bad stuff about the mazda speed 3

  • mazda 3 and golf are in exactlly the same class....

  • lol from who? seems like every reviewer wants to have sex with it

  • lol...sit in Mazda then after sit in Golf R. In that very moment you'll realize why is Golf R more expensive. You just cannot compare the two.

  • wich cam do you use to record?

  • good bye v6 orchestra :( I guess this car sound like an evo x..

  • golf goes back to the roots.. i love it!

    fuck of mkV

  • this is the kinda car you wanna be in at the red light against a ricer. they'd be like haha he's in a crapy hatchback so he'll rev his engine, then when the light goes green all he'll be seeing is the rear of you car.

  • I simply love it !!! :))

  • Com'on get real, It might be the fastest electric golf buggy for all we know... and who cares!

  • I don't even think this can be considered a complete sentence.

  • Very impressive performance, but the looks don't do enough to set it apart from more mundane Golf models...

  • Not right! It is the fastest golf ever!

    270PS (199KW), 0-62mph (0-100kph) in 5.5s DSG and 5.7s manual.

    Psst! Golf W12 does not exist. Concept??

  • thank u for being smart lol that was just a concept it was never in production

  • its not the fastest GOLF.. the fastet one its the GOLF W12 that has 650bhp..!!

    this one has just 266bhp..!
