It is

The wheels give so much to the look.

That GTI looks FUN.... that is a big deal for a lot of people.... myself included.

Great work mate! I'd still like this video even if you didn't like the car but I'm glad you do. This video really gets over the magic of the Clubsport especially in comparison to the still very good R which has been hogging the headlines because of its amazing performance on the drag strip. 0-60 in nearly 5 secs was a nice suprise too! The 2 on track would be very interesting indeed, can't wait 🙌

How good is Joe?! Love your videos dude!

Great video Joe.. keep up the smashing work

I used to think that the new golf was a bit off, but since seeing the new M3 and M4 I seriously think that this thing is now really good looking.

I’m loving the variety joe 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Aweseome content, respect the work gone in to review cars like this, nice one mate!

Great review 👌🏼

Nice review Joe, would you pick this over a GR yaris?

Great vid, Joe! Demoing a Clubsport next week with a view to replacing my Mk 7.5R with it. I’m also considering the Mk8 R but I like the fact it’ll sit under the £40k even with options and feel it might be more fun to drive. I also prefer the appearance especially the interior trim. Brilliant car!

Great video Joe 👌

I like it. Looks like it sticks on those corners too!

Great work Joe

Awesome car, awesome video Joe!

Great video Joe! Interesting about your comment on the 128ti, I've just filmed with one of these and was very impressed by it. That must make this GTI Clubsport a pretty serious piece of kit!

Great video review.

excellent review may just trade up from my 7.5 GTI

My youngest just picked up his first GTI. White metallic pearl. Beautiful car. Manual. Drives perfect. If anyone here is a real race car driver please give this kid some advice.

Always great video. Car 🚙 content. 👍

Great review! This or a civic type r though?

Great little review. Glad you mentioned the sticker kit - I think they look far to 80's!! Can't believe they cost so much, but nice little pakage! (And why does video make LED lights flash?? Never understood that!!)

I'm amazed every time a watch some car review, with the amount of car channels on the YT. And they all seem to survive. Whether they have 100 k subscribers or 2 million. All of them get these new cool cars to drive, they all make a decent living out of it.. I can't understand that there's a market for all of them and that manufacturers are willing to give their press cars left and right to whoever asks.

Great review ! VW Should release a "VW UP! Clubsport" Fun city car...

the only thing I'm thinking is when people will start tuning them with 100+ hp from stock, R will put all the power to the road where I think GTI would struggle with that much power only with front wheel drive.

Great honest review 👍

I’ve got one most fun in a front wheel drive you can have 👌👌

Looks like a dream too… top of the list for wants

Great review 👍 Enjoyed that 😁

Sounds like you and Mat have another drag race to do....DO IT!

Great review. Looks like you had a fun time, as it should be. RickGTI....

In your opinion joe which should I buy the 2022 430d m sport coupe or the 2022 golf gti clubsport as a daily drive

I am really surprised that you get any cars to review, In my opinion you are the most honest reviewer with no holds barred reviews. And I applaud you for it.👏🏻

Good point - though it’s hardly like joe said this (or any car he tests) is a total spotter - as you say he’s very honest - I always find very very balanced too! And natural how he says it!

What a road that is by the way, ride that on the bike and lovely twists and ups and downs 😎😎

What would you pick joe a 7.5 or 8 if you was buying one now ?

This is the sweet spot

Hey Joe how does driving the new Clubsport compare to an FK8 Civic typeR?

Great car, great review!

Love it! Even more excited for mine coming in a few weeks watching that! 👌

Is it good enough to upgrade from my Mk 6 gti? Mk 8 lots more power, but I have all the tech plus a manual gear box. I’m not sure I need more power on the public road...

Brilliant review and just confirmed to me that my choice was seemingly the right one. My Clubsport is being delivered on Thursday. :-)

Is the Dynamic Chassis Control a must?

Hi mate, which one would you choose, this or the 128 Ti? Help me choose please, im in for a new car.

You always mention does car shift up automatically in manual mode, but what I want to know too, will car automatically downshift, for example, if you are at low speed in 4th gear and you do press full throttle, will it go in second if that is best option or stay in 4th. That was also irritating for me in some cars with automatic gearbox and so called "manual option".

How did this compare to the TCR Joe?

Looks funny! Good car well done 🔥

Love all of the performance Golfs great all rounders, tick a lot of boxes ..... R is my favourite for the launches alone .... nice to see a front wheel drive car do a 5sec to 60 for a change. 👍🏻

I enjoy your reviews, the honestly and advice for us to spend our money. The VW group interior quality is worrying, they seem to be coming off a high in the previous gen and the number of technical issues with that infotainment is even more worrying. If you are going to be annoyed daily, that will make you leave the brand.

I think this is the best looking version of the Golf 8 so far......which may not be saying much.....

what color is the car, great review.

Would you have this or the Cupra Joe?

nice. I haven't had my Polo long and need to take it on roads like these. Where about is this?

Looks sick

Clubsport OR type R as a fun to drive daily???

After a somewhat 'firm' 110 miles, it's now resolved and I'm enjoying every moment, only 800 more miles to go until it's run in. I have to say that the CS looks far better in real life than it does in any videos or images.

I’d rather the Audi variants due to the awful touchscreen and haptic nonsense (or get a 7.5 for half the price) or find a nice 718.

Have 1 a few months now and was initially pissed with the infotainment system but have gotten well used to it , ride is well stiffer than the normal Gti. A bit more special obviously but I honestly think the normal Gti is the king of Vw s as it’s all the car u need. And is across the board more comfy and well rounded

Can’t wait for aftermarket infotainment

- Appreciate The Video

Great Review JOE...My 3 letters for sportscars always have been GTI and Clubsport lifts it even 1 step higher...I hope with facelift VW will gives us more knobs on the screens

What a car !

Get the manual GTi and put a stage 1 kit and some mods and surely it could compete with an ECU map. If possible.

Mentioned in video not take Moonstone paint to lower the price, then the only choice would be white as all the other colours are double the price of Moonstone. Great video, sorry but only own R-line 2litre TDI in Moonstone with a sunroof and winter pack.

1:38 - that rear corner shot .... if it was not for the 'GTI' badge, you'd think it was a Tiguan. Cover that left side of the scren area with your hand if watching on a tablet. You'll see it.

Fantastic motor that.

How it compares to Hyundai i30N and Honda Civic type R in terms of Power and Handling

Better than a Civic type R FK8 joe?

Great video as always Joe. Would love you to get hold of a VW T-Roc R for a future review and share your thoughts on that SUV.

When can we expect to see your new M3?

Great review Joe, Great channel 👍

Wish we had these in the states

Hi Joe! What's your top 5 most exciting (fun to drive) cars (incl SUV's)? Thanks!

I currently own a Golf 8 1.5L 150PS and I am looking to buy the Clubsport part exchanging it with my own. One key matter needs to be mentioned. The 7 speed DSG changes at the rpm it wants to, even in Sport Mode, unfortunately. However, if you figure out when the gearbox changes gear, you can press the paddle and shift almost simultaneously. Even with the Golf R, the same problem persists. But its completely normal because the computer knows better than you. Great review

there is a way around this i believe you have to turn off something and you can bounce it off the rev limiter

That looked like Harry M's favourite corner at the start of the vid

Any plans to drive the new Cupra Leon, Joe? I'm strongly considering getting one. Seems to be more or less the same car but with a better interior and a lower price tag! Still has fiddly temperature controls though, but physical buttons on the wheel!
