Couldn't pay me to own a VW.

 

I have seen a lot of car review videos. One funny thing is that when ever they see a soft touch plastic, they will say the car's interior is good. When they see a hard plastic, they will weight it as a bad interior. They don't even look at the shape and detail design on it. I don't know where is this logic came from, but it just doesn't make sense for me. Actually, I don't see how a soft touch plastic is luxury. I only vote for leather. Also, the interior design of EVO look better than a golf in my opinion. Europe car's interior is always boring and look complicated even in expensive car, too. I could only feel the luxury when actually sitting in the cars and touching them.

 

Having being a vw tech. Owned a 2004 r32 that I sold to buy my Ix in 2006. Now having an X aswell I will say the video is bs. Yea the R is nicer (built) inside. But I think the X is to. I know of all the R problems, trannys, engine lites and besides these **** that buy R's are REALLY strange people. They always come into service smelling like weed.

 

This guy was talking all that trash about the evo and then he drove it....lol

 

He (reviewer) is probably jealous that he doesnt own an EVO...

 

+1 for scirocco

 

Bad video is bad

 

EVO over any VW all day!

 

There is no comparison, VW people know it, we know it, end of story.
This VW is more in line with competing with a WRX at best.

 

I agree. you can pick whatever car you want. if you want something with a really nice interior why not go German? and I also agree with the feel of the interior. its easy on the eyes. nothing to brag about but it is well put together. and considering that its basically a street legal rally car, it makes it so much better

Yes, I hope all people should look at the actual Rally car interior before they give any opinions to the street version.

 

I've had the opportunity to see a few Golf Rs on the racetrack. Most have been pretty well set up/ modified, a few with cages and really built. While I am sure there are some competitive Golf Rs out there, I haven't found one yet. Meaning, for the cars I've encountered (and none in my class) they are getting pummeled on the track by all manner of beast. One fellow did ok in the rain but, aside from that, the R was not competitive when it mattered.

As far as interiors, I guess the R is nicer? OK. But if we are going to exclude performance, let's open up the comparison a little. After some research, I've determined that my family room is far more comfortable and nicely appointed than the Golf R. Better seating surfaces, roomier, and more functional... So, ultimately, if it comes down to choosing to drive an Evo or a Golf for performance - Evo. If it comes down to choosing based on interior alone? I'll stay home...

 

i just had a winter BMW Xdrive invitation only, drive event in Switzerland today.

I think we can agree on that the BMW specially the Xdrive is a great platform. Never mind the M series we drove around all day switching cars. I drove the 2013 M series including many Xdrive 1-6 even the Xdrive 3 turbo M diesel...

They are light years behind the Evo AWd system. In snow the power means less and that is the place to truly judge an AWD system.
I dont think anyone question the M series superiority over the Golf R series...

there is no way the R can be even close to an evo in those conditions. Performance wise the Evo also better. "luxury" goes for the German. But i wouldn't buy a Golf for luxury from the begin with... I can not see any time or place where the Golf R would be better choice then a EvoX.
And more i think about it , more i cant make any idea why its even was a test to compere them. There is nothing this two cars has common or share market place.

 

Sorry but he was clearly PAID by VW... his arms are NOT outstretched and hes *****ing about how he cat reach the steering wheel?

He should reviewing curtains, or cloths, NOT CARS...enough said there.

 

Agree. If I am going to buying a car that have a similar size ,shape and "Luxury", I will vote for mini, another wonder rally car.
