As a first owner of a Golf GTI Clubsport S, the unveiling of the Golf GTI TCR at Worthersee GTI Festival in May 2018 piqued my interest. It soon became clear it wasn't a rival to the stripped out 'ring record car as it was far less hardcore and only available with an automatic gearbox.
However there were many things that bugged me about the Clubsport S like the lack of parking sensors, no rear seats and a few other areas where standard GTI items had been deleted. The main problem though was that yes the Clubsport S was a lot better to drive than a normal GTI but you had to drive it really hard to feel the benefits, something I couldn't do all that often. While the missing bits bugged me all the time. The GTI TCR promises to be the best ever fully specced GTI and that appealed to me a lot. Does it live up expectations? Please watch and see.
I also drive a Hyundai i30 N Performance in this video, it's not strictly a rival to a TCR as the price is £7000 less but the GTI Performance with some discount is close. I suspect that the stronger residuals of the VWs will make their PCP costs very close however and you'd really have to want the Hyundai to pay similar money to the GTI as it's (apparently) a bit better dynamically but the material quality of the cabin is frankly terrible and while you can only drive it hard every so often, you will be looking at that cheapo dash all the time as will your passenger who will not be impressed one bit.
