A complaint came about the MK8 Golf from the new Super Speed Car Pack was the fact that the MK8 Golf had the 6 speed manual (which I think is perfectly fine, but apparently, one person disagreed)
So instead of limiting the option to the Golf R, why not offer people the choice of choosing if they wanted the 6 speed manual or the 7 speed DSG gearbox? (Provided it’s what was offered on the original car)
Yes because the model with DSG 7 has faster gear changes and better acceleration and top speed. Apart from this, the sound of the DSG when shifting is much better. and when you have improved it in the game and even without improving the times will be better
If you’d talk about the Golf R Mk8,
I’m kind of alright with the Manual transmission because I am a fan of stick shifts with clutch pedals. It would make me feel like driving a racing car. Of course it could be a pain sometimes during traffic and hill-starting or such, but it still makes you feel like a Pro driver.
I understand your concern, but let me ask you this: Have you ever driven a Manual car in reality for once?
Yes I drove manual. I want the DSG because in a game I am looking to have the best performance in the car. and with the manual golf r it is covered. Apart from that the akrapovic together with dsg sound is glory🚀
This is the golf r 20th anniversary version. an even better version of the golf r mk8. I hope if they update it would be on this basis since it has a little more power and better behavior on the track and better tuned the chassis and traction
achieving this sound would give an even better feeling
I need this model updated
and the performance with the manual transmission in Acceleration becomes a very slow car. since if they update the dsg everything would change. It is shameful that a 7r runs more from a standstill than even the golf mk8r which has more power.
the red one has about 420-440 hp and with those hp in real life the golf r would go from 0-100 kmh to would come down from 4 seconds… It should have the dsg gearbox to get its full potential

the golf 8 r in real life with dsg does 0-100 in 4.5. and 0-200 in 16
golf mk8r performance model measured with the dsg version draggy in real life
I see there’s a 2023 20th Anniversary Edition of the Golf R Mk8.
This one better be a 7-speed DSG. A transmission that is much more quicker than Manual.
Yes, I spoke about that version. since it improves the car in all aspects. This time I wish it was the European version
VW recently unveiled the Golf Mk8.5
And the best part of this is:
DSG WILL BE THE ONLY TRANSMISSION FOR MK8.5 GTI & R, THE MANUAL IS FOR STANDARD GOLFS ONLY
And for the meantime, the GTI will be the only performance Golf available. We’ll have to wait a little longer for the facelift Golf R.
It will finally be a DSG-only Golf at last!!!
Whoa there, a fat lie? I just didn’t realize it, how would you prove that I lied? lol. Btw, it doesn’t seem to be that ruining. Most automatics nowadays are getting into high-performance, not just convenience. They have paddle shifts, just like new-era racing cars. Somebody complained why the Golf R is a Manual because it is SLOW. The Automatic DSG turned out to be a faster one. At least only the newest Golf GTI and R will never feature a Manual ever again. I’m glad. Why? Because Manual has less performance and it’s slow and the DSG is faster and quicker. I may be a manual lover but I exempt Golf R from having a Manual because of this thread.
Three hatchbacks in Forza had some exemptions such as:
I know that the original GTI is manual, that is the point but everything seems to change now. Since VW can’t improve the manual gearbox performance for Golf R, they have no choice but to fully kill it off now. Also, DSG is considered a fun transmission because it farts for fun when it shifts, and it’s 10x faster to reach the best 0-60 (0-100) time. This is why the new-gen Golf fans wanted DSG over Manual.
Read this:
Golf R 8.5 is lapping around the Nurburgring Nordschleife recently.
It may look the same as the pre-facelift one that is already in-game, but there’s like minor differences to it, such as the new Interior design.
That’s the EU-spec. I heard that someone who complains about the Golf R in FH5 & FM, is talking about it.
Indeed, the EU Golf has much more elegant taillights known as the IQ Light package, that the US model didn’t have, which is a total bummer for some people because the US taillights is obviously from the standard Golf models. I figured out that the EU one makes the Golf R more costly than the one sold in USA.

The Golf 8.5R will be presented later this year. I complain that the game is slow. I play a game to have the best performance in each of the cars. since for example in forza 6 and 7 at least you had the s3 dsg and it was much faster than the 7r. a game that has 8r, which is a big leap both in terms of engine, chassis and tuning, so it would be better if the game had the DSG. It was an offense to me to see that the Type R goes faster from a standstill and that it does 0-100 slower than an R26R. since with manual transmission you lose performance
