I work for seat and I can tell you the diff is more aggressively set up on the seat than the golf, but the golf can be adjusted using vagcom with some amazing results.the golf r could come a lot better from the factory.

It starting to prove itself very well. better than i expected. It is faster and more agile than new top AWD Golf R.

Its simple formula but as always it work great:
-Good gearbox, smoth power delivery.
-Rensponsive torquy and powerful engine for it class
-Well calibrated chasis, and FWD with LSD
-Lightweight
