Performance enthusiasts and luxury SUV shoppers have two compelling new options to consider in the automotive landscape. We take a deep dive into the track-focused 2025 Subaru WRX TS and the premium 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV, exploring what makes each vehicle unique in today's market.The WRX TS emerges as Subaru's answer to drivers seeking track-day thrills in a practical sedan package. With its aluminum hood and fenders, gold Brembo brakes, and moonroof delete, this performance-oriented trim delivers the genuine WRX experience with enhanced capabilities. The 271-horsepower turbocharged boxer engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission offers an increasingly rare connection between driver and machine. Inside, Recaro seats hold you firmly through corners while the new 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster displays performance data to satisfy data-hungry enthusiasts. At $45,750, the TS positions itself competitively against rivals like the Golf R and GR Corolla.Shifting gears completely, the 2025 Mazda CX-70 showcases a different automotive philosophy—luxury, efficiency, and distinctive styling. This two-row SUV borrows the platform of its CX-90 sibling but eliminates the third row for enhanced cargo capacity. The PHEV model combines a 2.5-liter engine with electric components to deliver 323 horsepower and exceptional fuel economy (up to 56 mpg when fully charged). The copper exterior paired with red Nappa leather interior creates a bold aesthetic statement, while quilted seats and high-quality materials elevate the cabin experience. Starting at $57,450 for PHEV models, this premium crossover delivers luxury-adjacent features at a competitive price point.We also explore the phenomenon of "carguments"—those inevitable disagreements that occur during road trips. Research shows nearly half of American drivers admit to arguing behind the wheel, most commonly about directions.

David jakter på ny bil og har forvillet seg inn i det riktig så rare hjørnet. Alternativet er farfarfarget taktrekk og mektig V8 diesel. Videre prates det om Golf R og biler du får i Europa, men som dessverre ikke kommer til Norge. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It seems like every year EV's are getting a bit better, and this year, a couple of them have made a big jump forward. As I have hinted at in a few earlier videos, I am now driving a 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance, and when Mike Pettiford of Go 4 it Services heard this, he was initially couldn't believe it. Mike brought down his 2023 Golf R and we both took a drive in the others car to get a sense of how they were to drive, then we sat down to discuss how close EV's were starting to get to something like a classic Sport Compact car to drive. Was the Tesla fun to drive? Could it handle anything like the Golf R? We talk about it all on this episode of the Flatirons Syndicate Podcast. If you would like to stay up on what Mike is up to at Go 4 it Racing, make sure to follow him here: https://www.instagram.com/go4itracingteam/ https://www.facebook.com/go4itservices Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

We're joined by the Director of Sustainable Golf from the R&A, Daniel Lightfoot.  Daniel who has an impressive resume from the Golf industry and greenkeeping, is currently at the forefront of promoting the R&A's vision for sustainable Golf.  Working his way through the five pillars of sustainability for the R&A, Daniel breaks down the aims into simple terms.

In the same week that Volkswagen announced a giant investment in electric-vehicle maker Rivian, the brand also reinforced its stance in conventional gasoline-powered vehicles with the unveiling of the newest Volkswagen Golf R and Golf R Variant. The fraternal twins redefine their class with 328 horsepower and the handling chops to leverage it. The new models are the most powerful Golf versions to date. They rocket 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 4.6 seconds (Golf R) and 4.8 seconds (Variant). With the Performance package, top speeds increase to a claimed 167 mph, making these the fastest Volkswagens alongside the Arteon R Shooting Brake that will never see the light of day in America. Both models feature a new front-end design, advanced light systems, 19-inch forged wheels, and an updated infotainment system. In Germany, they come standard with DCC adaptive damping to complement their impressive horsepower. The Golf R Black Edition, with darkened Volkswagen badges and a Performance package, adds more spice to the Golf R lineup. The Golf R Variant combines sports car performance with the practicality of a wagon. Since the debut of the legendary Golf R32 in 2002, the Golf R series has sold over 250,000 units. We'll have more details in the news this week. Also in the news, a global carmaker has delayed the launch of a new, affordable EV in the wake of the Biden Administration's new tariff on Chinese-built electric vehicles. We'll tell you the carmaker, the model and why the decision was made to scrub the launch in this episode, plus our comments. Another important news story concerns the potential ticking timebomb you have in your car. We'll tell you what the danger is and how you can defuse it in this episode. Our special guest is Lauren Fix. You might have seen her on TV or heard her on the radio as The Car Coach. She's terrifically knowledgeable about cars and, like host Jack Nerad, a member of the North American Car of the Year jury. The two share stories about Paul Brian, another jury member and a friend of ours who passed away recently. Brian was a larger-than-life guy, and we're sure you enjoy the tales Lauren has to tell about her longtime on-air partner. In this week's road test segment, Co-Host Chris Teague will evaluate the 2024 Mazda CX30. Its maker calls it a crossover SUV, but Teague and Nerad think another name might be just as appropriate. Both will share their views on the vibrant hatch. Nerad had a far more luxurious assignment this week. He put the 2024 Volvo XC90 Recharge through its paces. The plug-in hybrid happens to be the most performance-oriented version of the Swedish automaker's three-row crossover, bot Nerad and Teague will offer their opinions on it in this episode. America on the Road is brought to you by Driving Today.com, Mercury Insurance, and EMLandsea.com , the publisher of Nerad's latest book, Dance in the Dark, which is available HERE on Amazon.com

Het Kroatische Rimac lanceert zijn robotaxi ruim een maand eerder dan Tesla. Verne, zo heet de robotaxi van Rimac. Het voertuig, een tweezitter zonder stuur en zonder pedalen, rijdt volledig autonoom en moet over twee jaar in Zagreb op de weg verschijnen. Met de onthulling troeft Rimac Tesla af. Elon Musk kondigde eerder dit jaar de presentatie van een robotaxi aan. Dat gebeurt begin augustus. En verder... Volkswagen pompt miljarden in Tesla-concurrent Rivian. De nieuwe M5 van BMW is een plug-in hybride met 727 pk. Volkswagen komt met de meest krachtige Golf R ooit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Noah discusses the end of the manual Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R.

Recent news includes the reveal of Alfa's new supercar, Lamborghini torque-vectoring in their EVs, and the demise of manual transmissions in VW's GTI and Golf R! The guys debate BMW reliability and alternate choices for Asif in TX. They also pontificate for Scott in Toronto whether to even buy a car. Social media questions ask what new coupes have useable back seats, is a fixed steering ratio more fun than a variable ratio, and should traction control stay on for “70%” back-road driving?

We have an unusual road test for you in this week's episode of America on the Road. Instead of testing a car provided to us by one of the car manufacturers, Co-Host Chris Teague will road test a car he recently purchased, a 2023 Volkswagen Golf R. Chris considered two other great performance cars before he decided on the Golf R — the Toyota GR Corolla and the Honda Civic Type R. He'll tell us why he settled on the Golf R and how it's been working out for him so far. In our other road test this week, Host Jack Nerad is going big and going home. His road test vehicle is the Ram 2500 heavy-duty pickup. Available with two terrific engines, including a Cummins turbodiesel with immense amounts of torque, the Ram 2500 is the perfect upscale toy hauler. It's not cheap, but it's fitted out like a luxury SUV. Among its many niceties is one of the best infotainment systems on the planet. Jack will tell you all about his time at home with it in his detailed report. It's Monterey Car Week, and we'll give you a report on some of the important news coming from that event. BMW is showing a very interesting vehicle that could have big ramifications aboutits future. Audi is saying goodbye to an old friend with laps at Laguna Seca, and we'll have news on Audi's entry into F1 racing. And Texas-based hypercar maker Hennessey  is showing off its new wares. The horsepower rating of its newest car will blow you away. What gets into your car can hurt both you and your car's engine. It's something to be very careful about. Our special guest this week is an expert on that. Daryl Benton is a vice president at Purolator, the 100-year-old auto filter brand. In this episode, we're going to talk with him about how auto filters can improve the life of your engine and improve your day-to-day life at the wheel.

And you thought I wasn't coming back with Episode 21... foolish child! Late but always right on time, in this episode I quickly cover the latest new SUV in the ever-growing sea of SUVs, with the Lexus GX and the new TX. Both are excellent additions to the segment and for sure volume sellers for Lexus and its customers. Before I get to that, Toyota broke the news that their batteries are gearing up as game changers for the EV market. Something very much needed to quell the fears of range anxiety. Alongside that Toyota has a manual-shifting EV? VW proves there is no limit to how much we will spend on a limited edition... hatchback, with the Golf R 333 and BMW killing the manual officially.

提到Golf R相信眾多大大們眼睛會為之一亮，320 hp的大馬力、40.8kgm的強勁扭力，而旅行車Variant的扭力更強高達42.8kgm，再加上全時四驅的加持，操控性、加速性能確讓車迷的不要不要的！老實說，掀背車款和旅行車款開起來車身動態反應就是不太一樣，你該怎麼挑？另外，相較於價格破200萬元的Golf R，價格170萬元左右的GTI就顯得親民許多，但…這兩者很容易讓人陷入選擇障礙，怎麼辦？ 玩車誌網站：https://carfun.tw/

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel talk about  VW Golf GTIs, Rs and VR6s – the highlights from almost 50 years of hot hatch history, plus the few examples that failed to live up to their billing. We've also been driving the new Golf R 20, which celebrates 20 years of VW's R brand. You can now give a subscription to The Intercooler as a gift!

The 2023 Volkswagen Golf R offers a wealth of good stuff: 315 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG transmission, adaptive-damping suspension, a giant display screen, and impressive driver assistance technology. With a starting MSRP of $44,740, it is an amazing performance bargain. But at the same time, one of our testers asks the question, “Is it too smart for its own good?” While there is no doubt that the Golf R delivers more than enough performance per dollar spent, the interface between the car and its driver might blunt some of its goodness. Depending upon your point of view, the car's systems could require the driver to make too many choices. And those choices must be made through a touchscreen display that isn't all that easy to use, especially at speed. Guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo, author of How To Buy an Affordable Electric Car, and Host Jack Nerad will explore that in this episode. We'll also explore the all-new 2023 Kia Sportage compact utility. Jack Nerad and his wife had the opportunity to test all aspects of the Sportage HEV (hybrid) on a recent tour of Central and Southern California that took them from the SouthBay of Los Angeles to San Luis Obispo on the Central Coast and then to the desert east of Palm Springs. It was a revealing drive, and Nerad tells all about it in this show. In the news this week, an all-new, upcoming version of one of the seminal SUVs has just been revealed. The International Scout has achieved legendary acclaim (and it is also the vehicle driven by the hero in Nerad's latest book, Dance in the Dark.) Now Volkswagen has purchased the rights to the Scout name, and it will begin selling off-road-ready battery-electric SUVs under that brand starting in 2026. We'll tell you what we think about the whole thing coming up. And despite rosy predictions, this year has been an extremely tough one for electric vehicle start-up manufacturers. Rivian, Lucid, Lordstown, and Canoo are among the EV makers suffering big losses as they try to reach profitability. We'll give you the gory details a little later in the show.

If you felt that the podcast has been about EVs and crossovers, then catch this week's episode that focuses mostly on sporty compact cars. First Sami describes his time in the 2022 Subaru WRX, which gets a new look and motor, along with a redesigned cabin. Since there's no high end STI anymore, can the WRX carry the performance crown with its meagre setup? Sami and Benjamin talk about the company, CVTs, driving feel and refinement before adding another experience to the mix. Extra discussion arrives with the introduction of the 2022 VW Golf R, which is more expensive and more powerful than the WRX, but delivers a less authentic sport compact feel. Sami says it's high end and high tech, but the car has some significant issues, especially with its user interface.

The all-new 2022 Volkswagen Golf R means business.  By far it's the hottest hatch to date. As it always has, the fifth generation takes driving to the next level.  The driving enthusiasts' Volkswagen is all performance. But without sacrificing style.  Plus VW injects technology in all the right places. And sure, it's comfortable too!  Definitely a daily driver with weekend track capability. ⇒ iDriveSoCal is driven by Ontario Volkswagen! 2022 Volkswagen Golf R - Top-3: Performance Styling Tech -->Continue reading or listen below.

Driving Volkswagen's Golf R five-door hatch – this high performance all-wheel-drive one car I had trouble returning. An enthusiast car but an understated one, as I said earlier, a wolf in sheep's clothing. The performance from a 2.0-litre turbo with 235kW of power and 400 Nm of torque enough to put a smile on your face on a fast-winding road. Drive through Volkswagens 4Motion all-wheel drive system via a seven-speed dual clutch automatic with manual shift paddles is exhilarating to say the least. Sitting 20mm lower to other Golf siblings the Golf R is extremely capable – the all-wheel drive system with a new torque vectoring rear differential a revelation – electronically managing the enormous torque front to back, distributing more torque to the wheels with the best grip, more to the outside rear wheels to reduce the likelihood of understeer. The Golf R rides noticeably harder but the chassis's overall competence outstanding. On top of that you have three drive modes – Nurburgring, Drift and Race mode – Nurburgring retains more compliant damping despite heightening response and performance, maybe it's my age but I found it the easiest mode to live with. If you like performance hatches the Volkswagen Golf R at around $73,000 driveaway is about as good as it gets. I'm David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, a performance hatch from Volkswagen – the Golf R, a very understated high performance small five-door hatch that is a real wolf in sheep's clothing. One for the enthusiast motorist who doesn't want to look like a boy racer. The Volkswagen Golf R all-wheel-drive at around $73,000 drive-away for the most part looks little different to the entry model Golf Life but look a little closer and you'll notice the larger 19-inch alloy wheels, reprofiled bumpers, larger lower air intakes,  front and rear sports spoilers, LED matrix headlights, and from the rear, four large exhausts. Under the bonnet an all singing all dancing 2.0-litre turbo engine with 235 kW of power and a healthy 400Nm of torque. Drive through Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive system via a seven-speed dual clutch automatic with shift paddles. Inside, less is more with a rather simple dash but with Volkswagen's excellent instrumentation which can be customised in a number of ways, a centre 10-inch touchscreen and Nappa leather sport bucket seats with stitching. The switchgear is unnecessarily minimal with some touchscreen applications frustrating with touch buttons on the steering wheel fiddly to use. About the only area you can criticise this stunning performance hatch – drive details in my next segment. I'm David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Volkswagen is looking at the growing demand for electrification, and the shrinking demand for small cars in the United States, and decide to keep the Golf from hitting the U.S. shores. Even though America doesn't get the Golf, Volkswagen did bring over the eighth-generation VW Golf GTI and Golf R. The latest Golf R doesn't reset its established formula: it's still an all-wheel-drive hot hatch with plenty of power on tap. Powering this 2022 VW Golf R is a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 that makes 315 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. That power travels through either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed automatic before hitting the all-wheel-drive system. In this episode of Quick Spin, Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2022 Volkswagen Golf R and puts it through its paces. Wren walks you around the VW Golf R to highlight its quirks and features and climbs into the interior to relay the design and ergonomics. Wren also takes you along for a live drive review where he talks about the Golf R's driving dynamics. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek's west coast editor Mark Vaughn about the Volkswagen Golf, the Golf R and the Golf R's steep price. Closing the show, the pair discuss what makes the Golf R special.

We here on RCS love all things with transportation related including the electric kind. We invited Officer Cameron Balazic to talk to us about how the police are handling them and how do be a good rider. He's also an awesome car enthusiast with a gorgeous Golf R and a fellow Avants member. Correction: Dan mentioned 50 MPH as the top speed of the Zero 10 scooter - it is actually 50 KMH, or 31 MPH. He was correct on the top speed of the electric skateboards he mentioned.
