I do prefer the look of the gti than the R. I don’t buy new I buy used. So if I have seen R’s the same price as gti’s. I’d only buy the r if it was cheaper or same price than the spec I wanted in the gti. Because I can stage 1 the gti and have same power and better looking car minus 4motion. And I’m not that fussed because did get either in manual only.

No, the GTI has heritage and style. The R is cool but more for people who don't know better than that the R is the most powerful golf. I could afford the R if I wanted to but I would much more like a GTI because of the fact that it is a GTI. The name GTI is a classic name that has been around for decades. It has style, rust, heritage and history. The Golf R is for people who want to blast rap music while revving their engines outside night clubs. There is no style nor respect in that. Basically the Golf R is for kids.

Lol Golf R any day. Doesn’t matter if the GTI is an icon, the R is just better. The only reason why you’d get the GTI now is if you got a better deal (as mentioned) or need more boot space (because of the lack of AWD)

I do agree with you to an extent..... the GTI is an icon but VW screwed them self when they released the R32 which led on to the R. I think my point being the R should be the GTI and sack off the R nameplate. Back in the day the 205GTI and the MK2 GTI 16v Golf were two of the quickest hot hatches around now the GTI has been to watered down. That said the GTI details are nicer than the R. 👍🏼

From a guy who’s had mk 4 and 5 R32s and now in a mk7 R Im honestly blown away with the R … but have lots of love for the GTI . What a iconic car , both great motors .

I owned a GTI mk 7 (347 hp). Now i own a R 7.5 (400 hp). The R is the better one. The traction is amazing. With the GTI always spinning wheels. With the R none. And it is a lot quicker. I love it.

I love the GTI. Personally, I have a MK7 GTI sport. If I had the money I would have gone for the Golf R, but I completely understand your reasoning for choosing a GTI over the R, especially since you already have supercars to get your ridiculous speed fix when you need it. I love the fact that you kept the car really low key spec wise, but if there is one thing I think you have to do, it would be aftermarket wheels.

GTI with DSG is a great daily car choice, I couldn’t see enough advantages to spend the extra on an R

“The morning after”

Obviously I'm outnumbered here. Most of you prefer the GTI over the golf r. I have owned an MK5 and MK6 GTi. They we're both great cars! It was fun to romp around as well as daily Drive in those gti's. That being said, I purchased an MK 7.5 Golf R and I can say without a doubt it is a massive Improvement! I live in the mountains so even our highways are twisty and you can feel the rear end push you around the turns when you're pushing it a little bit. Among many other reasons I would prefer a golf are one hundred percent of the time. But that's just one person's opinion🤷🏻

I test drove both. In normal traffic (which is an absolute pain here in Tampa, FL), the GTI was more entertaining due to the lighter weight and torque coming on a bit lower in the range. Golf R was very impressive, don’t get me wrong, and very fast, but in normal daily driving it felt a bit boring to be honest. All depends on use and preference, but I found the GTI the more entertaining daily driver

What do you think about some winter trip with your daily cars? You with GTI, Archi with A45, Sam with CaymanS, Paul with M3, MrJWW RS6 or S1? Go on road trip to maybe Spain or some crazy destination for a week? I think that would be some mad content!!! Hope something like that we would see very soon!

"The GTI has been around for decades..." So have horses, but that's not a reason to buy one lol!

Mine is brand new and the only problem I have is the lower engine mount moves too much. I can release the clutch pedal slow and sometimes the car still clunks. I'm not even gonna warranty the part, I'm adding a mount insert to forget it altogether. Other than that it's a ridiculously fun car for the price.

Each to his own, it's all personal opinion. Golf R, more power, better handling, leather upholstery as standard, more aggressive stance and I prefer the styling on the R. Mine arrives in 5 weeks.

The R looks a lot better!! Interesting how people’s opinions are split so much! ☺️

Hey Teeje, that GTI deal sound mental, my clam. Although they look similar, they're basically different cars. Haven't been in the mk7.5 GTI yet but looks sick. When is the beard coming off?

Thanks for your input! I will consider this when looking at cars. Also what is the song at the start?

Having owned both, and still have a mk6 and 7 in the house, personally the mk6 is the better package. The mk7 has some great tech, ACC is amazing, but very much feels a mass produced car, built down to a price. Interior trim is not as well wearing (55k and 5 years old, seats are wearing thin). Everything in the mk6 feels heavier, more sturdy, and better built. Even just the shutting of the doors, the mk6 just feels better, feels more put together to me

Nice.... Love the facelift cars!

The GTI front end looks good but have you seen the R tail lights? Oh wait, of course you have...

The GTi is a 50 year classic, the R a good car none the less will come and go and won’t have the history the GTi has. The R is a good car however.

I own an "R" and everything about them is better than the GTI. Big reason is those seats are like my grandmothers blanket.

There is no need to argue. They're both great cars just get the one that fits your need and budget

Hope you get to 100k subscribers the content is great, love the car great spec would love to own it

And how about the typical "rich man" video "buying a Christmas tree and putting it on my aventador roof" ??? 😜😜💪🏻💪🏻💯 lol

I have Unitronic tuned Gti Mk VII, non PP. 280+ whp and an open diff (they are cheap used in the US). It's chaos when you floor it, especially if driving one-handed. How about a challenge for you and Archie trying this in central London traffic?

How's the gti like on fuel? Can you achieve +350 miles on a full tank by driving sensible.

Hi, does anyone have experience with the break-in period? I am getting my new GTI next week and I am not sure if I can drive 1500km like a granny^^

golf gti looks like wise man. Other hot hatches looks childish. Just my thoughts. Don't take it personally

Drive a Golf R and then a Gti, no choice. Get a Gti. The Gti is worse in every way, still my choice.

The camera sucks for sure, more importantly I think it's the audio

The quality is really good on the iPhone X. I love golf as a brand so all the models I'm a huge fan

You know, I had a look at one of these, it's such a nice car BUT the seats are just way too soft. Softer than the standard Golf SE seats which are pretty good.

It’s good to go back to your old videos 😂. Would you get another GTi?

Is there any option you would have put on in hindsight?

With you on this one Tom. Rather have the GTI as the design is better. And those seats 💯

Quick question what’s the difference with the golf tsi??

What is the brand of Archie’s hoodie ?

Much love for the lack of tacking on 5 seconds for a mid roll ad my quail egg

R is the better car but GTI is the one if you get a good deal. But I would still take the 1/240i over an R

TGE, If I head to London in my W12 Golf ‘04, will you do a feature?

I thought the GTI didn't come with a Digital cockpit or is that only available in the European market

are you using the front or the rear camera?

Golf r is better for scotland as we get snow in the summer and fwd poor going up the cairn gorms

Personally I would have the R 3 door Dsg with the upgrade stereo and magnetic shocks..... And In red, If I were to get a Gti I would have got it in red, 3 door with the manual box, interior is nicer in the Gti,

Where did you lease this from?

Where did you get such a good lease deal........coz I can’t find one that cheap....

the sound on the iPhone sounds like its you've sat on your phone

How many miles on the clock now since new ?

I've had a 7.5 R for a while. Here is the problem that GTI owners face. Stock the performance is abysmal, it's a fun go kart car that suffers torque steering but has no straight line performance and lacks the AWD trackability of an R. Now here comes the next problem: upgrades. Suspension, brakes, and anything control wise they both take amazing and are one of the best platforms out there. However, if you buy an R and modify it (mine is currently on IE's full stage 2 lineup and tune) it can actually use the performance upgrade where a GTI will......spin. My R is somewhere around 400-415 crank, it dyno'd 352 at the wheels. That's mostly wasted on a GTI. Don't get me wrong, GTI's can use that and have tracked well but that's for GTI's that are setup as track toys and the drivers are GOOD. Even with a good driver they simply would do better if they had access to AWD. I think they are both good cars, but one is a sports car, the other is a sports car attempting to be a race car. I love my car, but next car needs to break into the 10s without danger of breaking.

Name of the soundtrack at the beginning of the video please.

I just subbed because you pair are funny.

As this was going to be my 1st ever new car I was ready to go the extra mile for the R but here in Canada you can’t get a sunroof in the R and I found that to be a deal breaker. It’s my 7th VW, 2018 GTI Autobahn, I absolutely love it, the front lights are crazy powerful, only beef is the SD card management of the Fender Audio, it sorts the media by alphabetical album name, not artist, totally stupid.

Just 2 add on its amazing how even in the UK the theft of these vehicles is quite a bit high as u've mentioned 👎

Whilst you can't argue about the GTI's heritage, the R strictly speaking dates back to 2003 when the R32 first came out. Personally, I'd consider 14 years and 4 evolutions of the brand a decent heritage.

Hey mate, what leasing firm did you use?

I had the Mk7 Golf R for 3 years and it’s an awesome car and trumps the GTi in my book, however your rationale for the GTi makes sense especially with the PCH deal you got - no brainer.

Here for the Tom & Archie show. It's not TGE TV without the Pigeon. Rah rah rah!

Video quality is good but it’s like the sound from the front camera was recorded on a potato.

See if you pay monthly for a car, can you still mod it in terms of getting new wheels, new exhausts and things like that?

Girl : I want you to talk dirty to me Tom : blah blah blah..BYEEE

I like the old r32s with the Vr6 but now I think I would go for the GTI with the plaid seats and red accents

Who's pressing the brake pedal at 8:12?

Who did you get your leasing plan from please?.

Hi mate, What lease company did you use?
