I wonder how many times I have stated “I love this hobby”. I am just going to state it again... I love this hobby!

I don’t actively go after people to review their cars. I can’t bank on YouTube stardom like other automotive YouTubers and it just makes me feel awkward. I’ll let people know that I would if they offered but I keep it at that.

Enter Sherwin. Owner of an awesome 2017 Golf R with a mod list longer than many elementary school books. He contacted me a few months ago to see if I was interested, and naturally I was. It is only the hottest hatch I could dream of getting my hands on. All wheel drive, APR Stage 2 tuned and a bunch of attitude. As a car reviewer this is about as good as it gets in the hot hatch world!

Verdict? The video speaks for itself. But I loved it and would if I could.

The rear ‘TDi Greenline’ badges are a ‘sleeper’ joke.

Oeh! I like that one! Sadly there are no Skoda’s or Seat’s for that matter stateside! Always loved the styling of those!

True, though it shows how resilient the VW 2.0TSi engine is.
