Скачать или смотреть Review: 2025 Volkswagen Golf R - Better, But Not Perfect

I spend a week with the Mk8.5 VW Golf R to see how the changes for 2025 affect the driving experience.

The 2025 Golf R gets some nice improvements, with sharper looks, lighter wheels, a bigger screen, and more power, among other things. There's also been some improvements to the tuning for a wider power band. Thankfully, some of my complaints with Mk8 have been fixed, but some unfortunately haven't been fixed, so the Golf R continued to be a mixed bag. And the loss of the manual transmission option also hurts its appeal now. But if you want a low-profile pocket rocket with all-weather capability, there's really nothing else like the Golf R on the market these days, and I'm glad we still get it in America. What do you think about the Mk8.5 Golf R? Big thanks to Volkswagen for providing this 2025 Volkswagen Golf R to review!
