I absolutely love this car. It is a sleeper and thats why people will buy it. You want a boy racer go for the STI or Focus RS. This car is absolutely perfect in everyway and I hope they dont change the sleek deign. As a 25 year that wants that mature prescience and look this car suits my needs. No kids, Live in Canada (AWD), and just enough space for girlfriend and myself to take road trip. Volkswagen has always been a personal favorite of mine but this car knocks it out of the park for my needs. Great review aswell man.

It doesn't really have 'torque vectoring' it just applies the brake on the inner wheel. Would be great if it was able to apply power to the outer wheel instead but that AWD system would likely add quite a bit to the cost.

Should last a long time as they opted for IPS LCD displays which have been in development for decades and are super reliable :) VW scrapped their plan for OLED as they tend to burn in and pixels stick and die and the panels fail with time. So this definitely bodes well for the longevity of the displays.

Nice video, I got golfR 7.5 here in Australia 🇦🇺 and our opinion are way better (no offence) all golfR in Australia come with sunroof and spare tyres. I never heard before that factory fitted spare tyre is an option there. ( dealership must of take tham out to make you buy something that comes originally with the car),we even get GolfR 1ST aid kit.even here in Australia back 3windows come with factory fitted tint, and one think I related as well, why do that screw armrest that cannot be open there? In your armrest there’s another charging USB port. That’s just weird and strange. I heard from so many people that in states all this opinion don’t come with golfR.. I have couple of good friends in Germany and even thay get all this extras included with thay cars.
@chriskelvin248

Yes, in AU you guys got the nice option of the sunroof on the 7.5. I would have definitely ticked that box if was offered here in the US. They say the production run of the North American-bound R's were built in DE on an eGolf assembly line. And because eGolf's had no sunroof, these R's never had a choice either. We didn't get the spare tire as supposedly another cost-cutting measure. We got the Mobility Kit instead- a small 12V air compressor and a can of fix-a-flat. I did install the factory spare kit later on my own that I sourced from a tuner catalog. As for the screwed-shut center console...US has some law that a center console lid must be of a design such as in a car accident, the lid cannot easily open and release its contents around the cabin, presumably pelting the passengers with flying chewing gum. My 2019 R did come with a "jail-broken" console from the factory. Maybe they altered the design in later cars. We also didn't get: headlight washers, power folding wing mirrors, Akra exhaust, heated windshield, memory seats, puddle lights.
