Nice video. I have 2023 GTI 40th anniversary edition and noticed the same thing you mentioned re: revs/staying/lurching in low gear. I’m glad you said something so now I know it’s legit. I also miss the sunglasses holder; had one on my mk5. Also wholly agree with your issues with the carpet. Cheapo. It should also be stated that this is my third GTI. I had a ‘98 that I drove for 15 years and almost 300k without any major issues. It’s a car that I love dearly, and this newest version does feel quite luxurious as compared to previous models, but is still a joy to drive. Gotta go manual, though. Have fun.🕹️🏁
Just picked up a 2023 40th anniversary special this week and can tell I am really going to love it. Previously had a 2019 Mk 7.5. Already noticed it lies about what drive mode it is in when you start it, which I found weird. And the fog lights are so cool I want them on all the time but forget I have to turn them on manually. And I do miss the overhead sun glass holder bin as well. So it was interesting to hear you say the same things. Good video. Glad you love the car overall! 👍
Thanks! The 40th anniversary is awesome.
Did you pay a mark up price? Im looking for one 40th anniversary, but they want 3k mark up, thats about 38k for a GTI 🥲🥲🥲
@@jrarael90 I am in Canada and paid CAD 38K which I don’t think was marked up.
I love mine, when I took my sunglasses off nowhere to put them! I also really miss having a volume knob
@@michaelmueller3228 I stick them in the little console under my right elbow. I guess I’ll get used to it 🤷♂️
I've got the performance trim (top trim in Canada) which came with the amazing Hankook Evo S UHP at 19in. These are top tier and same detailed reviews put them just behind the pilot sport. Also 99.9999999% of Mk8 owners don't know (only in top trim though) you can set the DCC 3 full levels ABOVE sport or 3 full levels BELOW comfort...this customization is incredible and really changes both sport and comfort.
That’s awesome!
With the drive mode issue, how can you tell it's not persisting between stop and startup? I've got a 2022 as well and keep it in sport. Icon says sport when I start it up and steering stays in sport mode (heavier steering rather than comfort)
The steering is the only setting that saves. The transmission, pops, and everything gets reset to comfort.
My biggest complaint (I have the 2022 Pomello Autobahn GTI) is that wireless Apple CarPlay doesn’t work well at all. Seems to lose connection to my brand new iPhone (or any iPHone I use) every 60 seconds or so. If I use a lightning cable or just Bluetooth audio it works fine. Very annoying because I would prefer to use the iPhone interface in the infotainment. Other than that, the car is killer
Thanks for sharing!
I have un GtI 2023 y cuando voy en una subida se le enciende un testigo de engine speed maximum 4000 RPM y uno de error drive sistem
4:00 man you need to wait a moment when you turn engine on untill revs drop to normal values, it takes a minute. If you just start it and go revs will go way too high
Legitimate gripes. Unfortunately, I had to get out of my 23 GTI-S. VW wanted me to pay the shop service fee to determine if my issue was covered by warranty. Started with two hours, but after two days it was six hours. I didn’t like the games, so I traded the GTI for a new base model Atlas blue 23 Mustang GT manual. Love it more than the pre-owned twister orange 21 GT Premium auto. Hope you don’t have any issues with VW service. 🤘
Nice choice! I haven’t had any issues with service so far
I like the prop hood better in the long run because you can depend on it working and that yellow on the prop rod is to grab so you don't burn your hand when using it. The fog lights are better in my opinion to need turning on when needed. Not automatically. I am okay without the proximity unlock feature. Especially if it saves me money because it is actually more secure. Sunglasses compartment missing, no problem as many of them rattle with glasses in them or the glasses fall out when opening them. And I will buy the manual if I get one , or any other car, so the DSG problem when cold would not affect me. :)
I was nitpicking when I made this haha, but nice to know it won’t bother you!
Miss the 10 speed ? I’ve had veloster n’s and tuned golf r’s and those cars tuned don’t compare 2 the 10 speed . I just got one two weeks ago I love it ! Congrats on the new car .
I do miss it sometimes just for the outright speed and sound but I should be getting another mustang this year.
I’m loving mine, there’s some minor issues like travel assist acting up every now and again but nothing major.
Yeah, true. Sometimes mine does pop up weird messages here and there. Might mention that in a future video
if it gets bad replacing the steering wheel fixes it. it’s the 5f module, most dealers know about it
Why should the fog light stay on? Should the fog backlight also stay on?
No it should stay on when the headlights are on if you turned off the car with them on
My 2022 Autobahn has an intermittent issue with sound system. It will randomly not work, like it’s muted. The fix is to turn off the car. Doesn’t happen too often, but super annoying.
That’s weird.
Hey personal question I know but how much do you make after taxes? Or at least, how much would you need to make to comfortably afford this car?
It just depends on your living expenses but if you live with your parents you can probably afford this car on a 2500/month take home pay.
Great color! Best Mk8 wheels too.
Did you ever test drive or own a Mini Cooper S? Curious to hear how it compares to your GTi. Great video!
I’ve driven a 2017 John Cooper works. Very quick however minis are too small and the suspension is very harsh
It is good to know that your dislikes would not really bother me. Thanks...
Do you run premium grade gas and what is your average MPG?
I run regular and it usually around 30mpg. I do a lot of highway but a lot of spirited driving too
@@JVette01 Wow... That is actually impressive. 87 octane w/ spirited driving and 30mpg avg.
Does the manufacturer recommend 87 or something higher grade?
It says use 87
I'm thinking about buying a 8.5 when it comes out later this year.
Nice!
When I had my mk8, I put my sunglasses in that little triangle window by the little speaker lol
I might have to try that 🤣
as a previous 1st owner of a 2007 GTI that was owned till 2020, at 135k miles. Many of the dislikes you mention are actually pros. You would surprised how crappy the build is as the car ages, and be thankful it still has simple stuff that wont' cause more problems.
The most annoying thing for me is the audio EQ bug with the HK system. You need to toggle settings just like the drive modes to get it working correctly (severe lack of bass and flat). I love it otherwise.
To your points: You really only need to reselect your drive mode. You don’t need to toggle between a different mode.
As for the fogs, I wanted mine to always be on when the headlights are on, and OBDEleven actually added a one click app for that a couple months ago. Works perfectly!
Thanks for all the insight! I didn’t know about the drive mode thing
i wanna trade my suv for a gti but i dont know it so expensive to at 34k for the s
Wait if it only lets you get to 127 top speed why would they bother putting 160 on the dash??
A tune takes off the limiter so then you’d use the extra speed. And it looks cooler ;)
I just bought a 2022 GTI s that was traded in at the dealer I work at for a new rs3 lol
Lmao I’m considering that car too
for me its the auto start stop feature
It actually doesn’t bother me like I originally thought it would. I kinda know how to work around it
@@JVette01 Does the manual have start/stop?
Not sure since I have the automatic
I would add the fact that VW is selling these cars without the engine cover. The fire incidents occurred a year ago. Ample time to provide a new one to all owners affected. Thanks for the video!
Absolutely!
For me it’s the headlights. You can’t switch the auto headlights off. I only want the daytime running lights on. Too much to ask ?
I can turn mine off
@@ScottH1130you got to tell me how 😊
I have a 2019 GTI s, with the knobs and switches ! No complaints at all.
If top end is 127 mph and that’s not enough for you, where in America do you live, I want to stay away from y’all ! Thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴
130mph, you will flying. Maybe golf is not designed to do 130? I did 148mph in my 19 NSX and feel’s like 80mph.
wanna see your video about new mustang!!!
I will create one sharing my thoughts soon!
Why don’t they make golf gti awd
That would be kinda cool but that’s the point of going to the R
@@JVette01 I just don’t like how the r looks and I want to get a gti but am worried about the winter, they’re pretty bad Where I live.
@@santinofantauzzo4035 awd makes the car heavier, R makes up for it with more horsepower
SPEED LIMITER?????? Someone plz I thought they top out at 155?
Nope. 127
@@JVette01 🥲
With a tune it’s removed but yes stock only 127 haha
@@JVette01 It’s a new car and I wouldn’t want to void warranty straight off the bat with a stage one. U think I can flash or do something else 😭
@@coryal nope ;(
Blessed to not have smart key access, security hassle
Eh not really 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Its an amazing car, few bits thats annoying for you but not majority of people
I agree!
WHY THE F DO YOU NEED TO DRIVE ABOVE 127MPH? WTF?
I don’t but I’d like to
😂😂😂😂😂 drive it like you stole it 😁
wtf you sold a gt for this
I had both for a while
@@JVette01 oh mb lol, I had my 22 eco for a couple months and just bought a new 22 gt. Are you going to get another musclecar?
@@dnalor8753 I might get a 2024. Stay tuned ;)
There are days where I can’t even use my climate control to defrost my windows. Huge safety concern. The infotainment system is an absolute safety hazard and a fail
That sucks. I never had issues with that
@@JVette01 you’re fortunate. I got my mid-level trim GTI 6 speed manual and I love how it drives. But I ordered the car and waited 3 months for a car with an infotainment system that works 50% of the time.
Thanks for putting these videos out. They made the wait bearable. I hope to see more!
Some of these complaints are first world problems lol.
Absolutely right
@JVette01 I remember a time when I was happy just to have air conditioning lol. Now I want the car to give me a reach around 🤣
Ikr haha. It’s nitpicky things but I’m really satisfied with the car
Not for upwards of 40k
