Club Sports Club. A good name for the car. If I were the public, I would at least write it somewhere on it. It's not very big, it's just subtle. It's a bit of comfort to those who know. If you know what you're looking for, there are some clues: a new front bumper, a bigger gap than the teeth to get extra air to a bigger intercooler, a rear fender, protruding further, some low-profile graphics down the flanks, changing the tailpipes. But I want a badge. And, though I have to admit, I hate bigger wheels. These 18 are flat faces. They look heavy.
However, the new 1461kg golf is not lightweight. A whole 2 kg shaved off an ordinary DSG GTI. Many gyms weigh more than the 1405kg Honda. Weight doesn't matter here. If you like to have no air conditioning and infotainment, Honda will now sell you 47 kg limited edition lighters, but let's face it, you don't. With this 36320-pound GT version, you'll get a 465-watt sound system. It's important in the hot cabin. Daily vehicles, daily supplies. Even if they have stupid wings and absent Club Sports badges.
These two are from the busier end of the heat incubation spectrum. For VW, ...
... ClubSport is about expanding GTI's lineup beyond the standard 242bhp (which it will soon do again with the arrival of 4wdr). For Honda, this is its natural habitat. Volkswagen is invading shares in Honda, Renault sport Megane and Hyundai i30n. These cars will be driven first, followed by hatchbacks. Everything is fine, but the public, especially since last year's plastic surgery, is completely hypnotic.
This is a cosmetic surgery, which also bought a more adjustable down sports line Type R. With smaller wings and wheels, it is designed to make the return journey and build a beachhead position on the regular GTI lawn. It just makes people look unbalanced. Volkswagen has been more successful in this direction. I believe this is part of the GTI model plan from the beginning. In fact, it moved me as a car engineer who wanted to create the first. It's not just harder and more powerful, but after careful consideration of the changes, the most obvious are more negative camber front wheels, bigger but lighter brakes, and a smart front differential that uses a clutch pack management central computer to distribute power to either side.
Passive suspension is standard (and installed on this test vehicle), adaptive shock absorber is an option worth 785 pounds and can also enter the Nurburgring mode. You don't need to, but the experience of damper smaller GTI shows that they are well worth having.
The adaptive shock absorber is part of the Honda Civic Type R. Its stiffness is controlled by a rocker switch on the center console, which can switch between comfort, movement and + R. You cannot select Honda's suspension, engine, throttle and all other settings individually. After an assassination battle through multiple screen menus, you'll never do it again.
It's a pity that when Golf welcomes you so friendly, the interaction on the screen is so casual. The cabin is beautiful, the dark screen is smooth, the material is flawless, it's sharp, it fits perfectly, and it's worth 37215. When you go in, the seat is comfortable and can support your back and shoulders. You can easily see outside and drag people and objects. Using ClubSport instead of GTI has no practical disadvantages. No, Busy. dark. Red. Layout, graphics and instruments are easily ten years old. But now I'm sitting in it. When you drive golf, you play lower than you. How does that seat feel? When you reach forward and grab - yes, Alcantara, happy day - the steering wheel, you think. Look at that gear lever. Check it out. Yes, it's as good to hold and move as it looks. So, if the rear view is narrow, split in two by a cross bar, or you don't know what any of the buttons on the steering wheel are doing, it feels perfect from the driver's seat. To some extent, there is hardly a real sports car that can match it.
