The BMW looks fresher & sportier.
The VW looks like a rental car from the airport. The BMW looks spot on in my opinion. BMW is the clear winner here.
Would hate to see yourâŠ.
Both are classic premium enterprise rentals sadly. Even the top spec ones. Have a few nice ones at beckton enterprise.
Your performance numbers are just wrong. I had the mk7.5 GTI with the exact same engine as this mk8 GTI. It was quick, but my new BMW 128ti feels distinctly stronger. And, the BMW is quicker on paper. You just didn't check the fine detail, did you?
Actually yes, you didnât check that the 6.4 seconds is for the manual Golf. Details! đđ
Bmw actually dose 0-60 in 5.8 secs. If you time it with a dragy. Possibly quicker as carwow suggested.
@@jay-gp5ru Matt did the test on wet roads, so potentially quicker with dry grip. I'm re-watching these vids as I've just ordered the 128ti :D
â@burso83 my 128ti is getting built this week. How have you found yours?
Nice review, keep doing these đ
I have a gti mark 8 and I love it , everyone goes on about no buttons but donât agree , set it up the way you to drive then leave it alone , car handles really well and is simply a great drive .
I tend to agree on the whole. I've owned a Mk8 GTI for 2 years now and I don't actually think the infotainment system is as bad as people make out. It can be a bit slow at times but overall the usability isn't that bad. I did however test drive a 1 Series only a few days ago and the interior is SO much better vs the GTI, like a complete different level imo. Actually shocked me quite a bit, I got back into my GTI and dare I say, it felt quite cheap in comparison.
Agree with you... thank you both â€
Should have done a proper drag Race
Agree that the BMW is the winner. Better looking, better driving, better costs. I love it
The 128ti seems really cool but alas is not available in the states. Maybe someday?
My sister just bought one, can wait to try it out!
Bought which one ?
Sorry but regardless of what transmission the Golf GTI has the 128ti is quicker. Misleading facts check every other review.
Numbers done by other people on different days with different drivers are irrelevant. The only numbers we can quote fairly are those from the manufacturer. Itâs not misleading. And 0.1 seconds difference according to those numbers means that the Golf gets more from less power. Those are facts, nothing misleading.
@@BOTBreviews you still got it wrong after having time to research the stats againâŠ
@@BOTBreviews since when does anyone care about getting more from less power? đ
âLet me buy a golf because it
Gets more power from less but is still slower than the 128tiâ
The 128ti is quicker and thatâs a fact.
@@kishank3671 Caterham owner does. But they don't buy hot hatches đ
Okay champ đ
Don't assume you will get Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres if you chose the no-cost performance tyre option. I chose it, and got Pirelli P Zeros :-( I enquired about this with BMW online and with my dealership. The online team, said, yes, you get Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres :-) Why then, I asked, did my car have Pirellis? Silence. My dealer dug deeper with BMW UK and confirmed that the performance tyre option can end up with a number of performance tyres, not exclusively Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Hence the option the configurator simply saying "Performance tyres" and not Michelin's specifically. So, beware. Regardless, the Pirellis are still better than the standard Bridgestones in my opinion. Oh, and the car is bloody fantastic!
Just ordered mine and was told this up front. However, the spec list/order sheet Iâve been given doesnât say if the no-cost optional extra has been added as it cuts the text of⊠fingers crossed it comes with something performance though!
@@AlpineGABE check with your dealer. They will be able to see the option code on their system. That's how my dealer confirmed that I did have the performance tyres, just didn't end up with Michelins sadly.
@@johnfranklin6394 fab. Iâve got code 1N4 for my wheels if that rings a bell for you?đ Pielliâs are still a great tyre but Iâve had Michellinâs on previous 330dâs and they are a excellent. Fingers crossed for anything but continentals
Hi John, what was your order to delivery time on your ti, I ordered in June expecting Mid September delivery and still havenât had a build slot đą
@@jackbambridge1242 I ordered on Jan 20th and got a build slot confirmed on Jan 28th. I requested an end of June delivery to coincide with the end of my previous lease. The car was actually at the dealership on May 19th, but I didnât want to pay for two cars at the same time for over a month. Sounds like I did well. I hope you get yours soon.
Cheapest quality in Golf, expecially inside
The GTI is butt ugly.
I have the Golf 8 R Line as a company car and the build quality and tech is terrible. My wife on the other hand has just ordered a M135i and the build quality and tech is far supreme. All imo.
I hope you kept to the 40mph speed limit in the New Forest. đ
Yup thereâs no Golf in GTi anymore. BMW looks way better and I donât really trust VW numbers anyway, itâd eat Ti dust I reckon.
Both great cars, But a Beamer is always better than VW.
The Golf is winner as you mentioned âșïž
Love my bike but that MK8 front dash and infotainment is absolutely terrible. I canât believe how cheap and nasty it looks. Those touch buttons are awful. The Golf fog lights canât be used with having the night time head lights on which is plain dumb. Touch steering wheel buttons are idiotic no matter which car. The BMW interior simply kills the Golf.
Its old people review đ complaints about touch screen..Its pretty easy to find the traction control off..
Buy the JCW
Poor review. BMW always undersell their performance figures. Other reviews have ACTUALLY reviewed their respective performance and the BMW easily takes it.
GTE worst car i have ever owned đ not sure i can take you seriously anymore đ
I canât buy a car with fake vents whatever make it is đ€ź
Sadly you wonât be buying any new cars then, theyâre all at it đ
@@BOTBreviews yes thatâs right, Iâve been looking around and canât find anything, I even test drove a Cayman and didnât like it, seats, seating position and other issues.
Lmao
Couldnât disagree more with these clowns.
