I've driven this Golf R (DSG) for the past 2 years. The launch control gets you all giddy and I love it. But all things considered I would have preferred the manual. The reason is that there's tremendous throttle lag no matter what gear or rpm you're at. Obviously in higher rpms it lags less but it's still a buzzkill. I miss the instant throttle response of a manual in skilled hands.

He should of stayed in 3rd not drop to 3rd. The revs only just adjust before trying to go back up again while that-s not the case on the auto. And do this test again. Do a manual s3 auto golf r. I-m sure Audi will win anyway but it-ll make it conclusive.
Also the the first race was too much traction loss. It-d be closer.
I-m not a golf fan either so I-m not being biased.

They all Fun to drive if you know how to drive.
Manual is more fun but in big cities is Not.
Automatic is more luxurious and comfortable in big cities where too much traffic and crowded streets.
Automatic cars have become much better in terms of speed and comfort.
Sooner or later in 2030 automatic vehicles will be compulsory in the Markets.

1st gear full throtle in red zone and left cluch. Its 4motion. You will fell real acceleration.
With start on 3000-4000rpm on manual transmision you just suffocate engine.
1st reson your turbo lost max pressure before 3000rpm.
Your engine on 3000-4000rpm have 180-220 hp, not 310. So next time with manual and awd full power, tc off, fun started.

For those who say the Audi is just a better car, remember that the manual in the VW means your changing gears almost a second slower than the automatic dual clutch in the Audi. It would-ve been a better comparison to have the golf R in the dual clutch automatic variant as well.

Autos are quicker and Manuals are faster. Just look at the 991. 2 GT3. The 7spd PDK launches to 100 in 3. 4s while the 6spd manny is 3. 9s. But the top speed for the PDK is 198mph while the manual is 199mph. And the 911 PDK weighs 1430kg while the manual weighs 1413kg.

The S3 had a little delayed launch because in launch control, for some reason when you let go of the brake, it still holds the car for another 1/4 of a second before it launches. My best friend has an S3 and I've launched it many times and every time it has done that.

Mat, come on mate! Turn the traction control off in the Golf R. Of course the Audi will walk away, when it-s in launch control the traction control is off and not cutting the power. Watch your footage you will see the TC light fighting you in the Golf R.

Don't think it's quite matters because even if the golf was a DSG automatic the Audi would always win because the V AG group they won't want a Volkswagen Golf R being faster than S3 even with the same engine they will find some trickery Audi will
