I do prefer the look of the gti than the R. I don’t buy new I buy used. So if I have seen R’s the same price as gti’s. I’d only buy the r if it was cheaper or same price than the spec I wanted in the gti. Because I can stage 1 the gti and have same power and better looking car minus 4motion. And I’m not that fussed because did get either in manual only.

No, the GTI has heritage and style. The R is cool but more for people who don't know better than that the R is the most powerful golf. I could afford the R if I wanted to but I would much more like a GTI because of the fact that it is a GTI. The name GTI is a classic name that has been around for decades. It has style, rust, heritage and history. The Golf R is for people who want to blast rap music while revving their engines outside night clubs. There is no style nor respect in that. Basically the Golf R is for kids.

I do agree with you to an extent..... the GTI is an icon but VW screwed them self when they released the R32 which led on to the R. I think my point being the R should be the GTI and sack off the R nameplate. Back in the day the 205GTI and the MK2 GTI 16v Golf were two of the quickest hot hatches around now the GTI has been to watered down. That said the GTI details are nicer than the R. 👍🏼

It was fun to romp around as well as daily Drive in those gti's. That being said, I purchased an MK 7.5 Golf R and I can say without a doubt it is a massive Improvement! I live in the mountains so even our highways are twisty and you can feel the rear end push you around the turns when you're pushing it a little bit. Among many other reasons I would prefer a golf are one hundred percent of the time. But that's just one person's opinion🤷🏻

I test drove both. In normal traffic (which is an absolute pain here in Tampa, FL), the GTI was more entertaining due to the lighter weight and torque coming on a bit lower in the range. Golf R was very impressive, don’t get me wrong, and very fast, but in normal daily driving it felt a bit boring to be honest. All depends on use and preference, but I found the GTI the more entertaining daily driver

If I had the money I would have gone for the Golf R, but I completely understand your reasoning for choosing a GTI over the R, especially since you already have supercars to get your ridiculous speed fix when you need it. I love the fact that you kept the car really low key spec wise, but if there is one thing I think you have to do, it would be aftermarket wheels.

I've had a 7.5 R for a while. Here is the problem that GTI owners face. Stock the performance is abysmal, it's a fun go kart car that suffers torque steering but has no straight line performance and lacks the AWD trackability of an R. Now here comes the next problem: upgrades. Suspension, brakes, and anything control wise they both take amazing and are one of the best platforms out there. However, if you buy an R and modify it (mine is currently on IE's full stage 2 lineup and tune) it can actually use the performance upgrade where a GTI will......spin. My R is somewhere around 400-415 crank, it dyno'd 352 at the wheels. That's mostly wasted on a GTI. Don't get me wrong, GTI's can use that and have tracked well but that's for GTI's that are setup as track toys and the drivers are GOOD. Even with a good driver they simply would do better if they had access to AWD. I think they are both good cars, but one is a sports car, the other is a sports car attempting to be a race car. I love my car, but next car needs to break into the 10s without danger of breaking.

I think you guys are missing the point . Having owned a lot of golfs my first being a big bumper 16v gti . Vw got in to a lot of competition from other manufacturers in the hot hatch market. So they made the vr6 . I owned one and loved it . This was the birth of the R then the r32 etc . It was to show the competition that vw can still make the best hot hatch . I own a mk 7.5 R and traded a 7 gti . Both drive great. My gti looked better but the R drives better . Long live Golfs .
