    I appreciate that VW sittl makes the GTI and R for the USA market. I see cost cutting like no gas hood strut, the engine bay is not body colored, and other little things. If VW has to do these things to keep the price down without affecting reliability and performance I consider that a win. It just would be nice if VW would do these 2 things for the USA market. 1. Why oh why can't VW make a Water Pump gasket that won't leak? Seriously, don't you see how this affects your brand "Reliability" how hard can it be to make a water pump housing that won't leak after 40k miles? 2. Why only have DI fuel delivery? We have carbon issues on the intake valves here in the USA which is another expense where some have to have the intake valves media blasted at a cost of $800 some as early as 50k miles. Toyota has dual injection here in the USA so VW can't say its for emissions reasons, but rather a cost savings that is hurting VW's reputation for reliability and cost of ownership here in the USA. Other than that, Great Cars👍

    2024 golf R owner here, not much different in the 2025 by the looks of it. The larger middle screen is probably the only big difference but i prefer the previous screen setup that is in mine, the cockpit flows better with them lined up together facing the driver side slightly. The illuminated VW logo is another one but i can easily just buy an illuminated logo. As for the small engine upgrade, mechanically nothing has changed from 2024-2025 just a slight tune but its the same engine and same mechanically. Happy as a 2024 owner that the changes are minimum/not noticeable.
    That aside for anyone looking at a golf R as their next car they are an incredible daily driver fun and practical.

    VW still cheaped out on the front brake calipers by not going for a fixed 4 piston but rather sticking with the single piston floating calipers. Also a prop rod to hold up the hood??? The Mk 7 had a single piston strut for the front. Clearly the accountants got the better of it by eliminating a $30 strut in favour of a $15 prop rod. The blue colour is awesome but I would take the Golf R Estate though

      I don't think weight saving is the goal. The clutch packs allows them to varies the amount of torque to each rear wheel, so they can use the rear to reduce understeer and do fun things like drift.

    Still no estate here in the states because VW hates us it would seem. I'm not a big fan of the screen, it's just out there and needs to be integrated into the dash. I'm also bummed about the return of haptics. I'm also surprised that the diff is clutch packs in stead of ball/roller thrust.
    And is it just me or is there LESS rear passenger space in this one?
    Guess I'll keep my 7.5 GTi Autobahn for now. Much as I love the new hardware of this car, the haptic thing is a deal breaker for me. I miss when VW designed cars for the driver and safety including distractions from driving. I don't need an almost 200mph fidget spinner ffs.

I part of me wishes I would've waited, but then I'm reminded at this cost difference between them, the Elantra N offers a lot for what it is at $35K, This car top spec would be $50K. Perhaps it'll be my next one when I get bored of the EN or want to move up to something with better interior quality.

    I find it strange the location of the R branding is on the door now opposed to the fender.. VW follows the trend of creating a "black edition", smfh. A retractable touch-screen in the cabin would seem to be expected by now. On the other hand, I guess it's one less thing to worry about breaking. Also, would VW really break the bank by adding brembo calipers? Wait till the dealers get ahold of the infamous black edition. I'll be surprised to see if the Akrapovic exhaust makes it Stateside on the black edition.
    I wish VW paid more attention to their customers feedback instead of following trends. 🤦
