Is a Stock VW MK8 Golf R Fun to Drive?

The Mk8 R is definitely a vibe, and its a hoot to drive in stock form. I have a 2022 MK8 R, with the Racingline turbo elbow & inlet pipe w/ a drop in performance filter...and I love driving this thing IMO its so silly what VW did this go around with programming & tuning. Its seriously a FUN car to drive especially if you hit the back roads which I do daily on my commute to & from work....I had a 2015 GTI before this Stage 1+ tuned, Springs, DB mount, rear Antiroll bar, Wheels & tires, Intake....and that was a fun car to drive also but I had to invest a few $$ to get it there. The MK8 R is that plus, from factory.

The golf r content is making me want to keep my Mk6 Gti

I drive a mk6r and it’s a blast to drive. It’s stg 2 with some suspension mods. Stock for stock I found it way more fun than a mk7 gti.

You know what you got no credibility to talk is any car good or fun to drive when all you do is straight roads some acceleration. You must visit a track and do some fast cornering

Love the vid mate from Oz I own a Tig R and she puts a smile on my face when I put her in R mode

I'd love to see an Audi RS3 back on the channel. 🥺

Im looking to get a 24' Golf R manual and i will be keeping it stock I think its fun enough and gets the daily job done right

it's a vibe

Still waiting for a Carmaspeed shirt with the cactus logo 😤

Every Golf R is fun to drive, stock

It’s automatic so nah. 2018 focus rs ftw.

No its not. Golf gti is a lot more fun to drive but R is faster. R is very front heavy but you have to visit a track to notice that, on normal roads fast driving R is faster and fells safer but still Gti is more fun.
