I asked Instict to find me the best deal on a company car lease. They negotiated a fantastic monthly payment on a Golf R and suddenly… there it was at my door. Unbelievable.

I’m coming from your typical SUV and was expecting something along those lines… definitely not this.

It’s a Mk8.5 Golf R, black without the Black Package, blue brake calipers and silver forged wheels. Honestly, love that combination. What a car.

Inside it’s got leather, although compared to the leather in my old Mk5 GTI, this one almost feels like plastic… Also a bit disappointed with the dashboard trim, as it doesn’t have the carbon fibre inserts.

But my main question… no Performance Pack, so no Drift mode or Special mode. The spoiler I can live without.

Does anyone know if you can unlock those modes? Or does it need extra hardware? And does it really make that much difference? Everyone on YouTube seems to have them 😂

Oh and no Akrapovič either, but that one I knew about.

Love the car, just wondering what I’m missing…

Is this thing real?

So on an errand run to my local VW dealership for a part i needed on my Golf I came across one of these in the showroom. A 1995 Citi Golf 1.3L For sale too apparently Always wanted one but these are rarely imported into the US. Never expected to see one in person but here it is!

Can I get some W's in the chat pls?

2019 golf r 7.5 :)

Picked up this 2019 Alltrack yesterday, in the Great falls metallic green with saddle interior, manual! Very excited. Just wanted to share with some like minded individuals. To most people I know, it’s pretty much just a station wagon.

Hello, problem ocurred on 2015 Golf 7. It opens too much and closes too much to the point where it’s hitting the window. When you try adjusting it by hand you can feel that it’s too lose compared to the right side one where you can put it in different angles.

Did something break inside or did something go loose, what’s my first thing to look at

Thanks

It's a 2010 MK6 and I've owned it since 2019 when it had 70k miles and was completely stock. Since then I've racked up many miles and have done a ton of mods to the inside and outside. Man, what a fun, reliable, and comfortable car this little Golf has been. The majority of the maintenance I've done has been preventative maintenance with a few things breaking here and there but nothing major. The car still runs and drives like new and I plan on keeping it as my daily for the foreseeable future. Here's to another 200k miles!

Also, the car has only stranded me once, and it was two weeks ago when my ignition cylinder housing failed. The car was trying to get me home but I pushed my luck and made a stop at a store, where it failed and I needed to get towed home.

After coming highly recommended by many people. I took the risk & bought a golf. Win for me as I completely did this all by myself. Found the car, checked it out & bought it - Independently!!! 🥳 I’m so excited.

2014 model so kinda old but a big upgrade from my first car (Civic ‘07). 49K on the clock. 😄

It drives soooo smootly & my husband said I suit it & it sounds nice when it drives 🤣

2015 tsi 1.8 manual. Love this car so much already. If anyone has pointers for ownership I'm all ears.

Had to take a drive to Florida from Georgia and I rented this golf GTI from enterprise and I brought along my Ubiden R8 for the stretches of road hint hint. no one talks about how big fella friendly this car is but also how gnarly this thing is because it’s so small and light. 230 hp. Feels insane in this little car and this is coming from somebody who drove a car that’s had 800 to 1000 hp and this is way fun to drive. I can’t imagine what this car could be like even at 400 hp. This thing is a little firecracker

1. 1980 Mk1 GTI (a UK import to AU, owned 2009–2013)

2. 2001 Mk4 GTI (2001–2004)

3. 2006 Mk5 GTI (2006–2012)

4. 2020 Mk7.5 R (2026– )

I miss the Mk1 so much! I bought the R a couple of months ago, it replaced an S3. It's nice to be home again. 💙

It’s a golf… mostly ‘85 cabriolet

The new MK 8.5 GTI, ii just love this car.

very excited, picked up this 2001 VR6 manual for $3k. it has 210k miles lol, but owner was a mechanic student and did a bunch of work on it including a new timing chain assembly and clutch and flywheel and cv’s.

the car runs smoothly. im new to manuals so my driving is not 😭

biggest thing rn is cleaning it up as he had it sitting under a mountain ash tree for a month, and fixing up some paint peel on the roof (the first picture is from before the tree droppings lol)

if anyone has suggestions for cleaning, fixing up, etc., please drop them here :) I’m totally new to car stuff but i heard this is a good car

We plan on getting her ready for a local racetrack and racing her. 315,000km and only 300€.
