Goes very well for an everyday FWD hatch. I can remember when 0-60 mph (about 0-97 km/h) in 5.8 secs was the factory claim for the 1979 Porsche 911SC, and this is pretty much there in terms of acceleration

Well its not more accurate in any meaningful way because the dragy is already very accurate, but the app interface of the dragy is horrible, and it cant do lap timing for some reasons.

I dearly luv the gti n although the mk7.5 is greatest version I'd pick the mk8 anytime.However i wonder how would the mk7.5 still be visually appealing towards me once the mk8.5 launches in South Africa 🇿🇦 cause the 7.5 still turns my head when i see it
mk7 is visually a much more complete package than mk8. They fucked the mk8 with an extremely poorly designed back of the car. Front looks amazing though. Those back lights and the big GTI lettering will simply never look good, no matter what.
Mine is getting delivered this monday. Can’t drive it untill march due to Dutch CO2 taxes.. If i want to drive it now I have to pay 21% VAT and €15.500 CO2 tax 😅
@@jakervamduf1523 In Holland we have “BPM” (CO2 Tax). It’s based on the co2 WLTP (in grams combined) of the car and the age of the car. The longer you wait with importing the car since the first registration the cheaper it gets. If I wait 3 months since the first registration I pay 10.500 over the VAT instead of 15.500 because of the time depriciation. If the car is brand new you pay the most basically. So if your car is worth 10.000 netto you first pay 21% VAT so €2100. After that you pay the “BPM”. It can be €300 for plug in hybrids (less CO2) or €50.000 for a RS6 for example.
Never gonna happen..so very bad call buddy. Vw has a few electric cars but they wont ever do that to the golf. Maybe make a trim thats a electric golf but they not gonna switch all to electric....vw is well aware that they have had the hottest selling hatchback in the world for like 50 years
I have a question... Why GTD despite being diesel in its 2.0 litre turbo just has 380 or 400 nm stock not 450 or or above it ... Are these petrol engines so advanced that it can surpass torque of its diesel counterparts
it's showing the clutch-slip, because the mk8 clutches into the next gear smoother (with more clutch slip) as the mk7 especially with full throttle shifts. thats why u dont have that dsg-farts anymore: softer gear changes with more slip
@@martijnvkk ah ok, no worries :) yeah the clutch slips. it's even in the name DSG "DUAL clutch gearbox", so the clutch for gears 1-3-5-7 disengages and the clutch for gears 2-4-6 needs to engage, but can not do that in an instance, because the crankshift is still spinning with an higher RPM (from the lower gear), so it needs to slip a bit, to let the RPMs shrink (let the engine "spin slower") to not have an forward hump everytime you shift under full throttle
Is this a good car? Sure, but not 50k € good. I think the price its a bit ridicoulus. This thing starts at 45k and goes all the way up to 55k. You get fabric seats as standard in a 45k € car, come on. Dear VW I know you have to make up for the losses caused by unsold EV's but this is not the way to do it.
Right idea - wrong conclusion. This does have the specified HP. It is however faster since gasoline has a better Performance Curve than Diesel and it’s Most Likely lighter than your bmw
@@flomelchiors7924 it's not about performance curve, but about gearing. Diesels will generally launch better due to greater torque but power to the ground falls off hard after 2nd (sometimes even 1st) gear.

I just can't understand why this new models look so slow and it is slow for this HP. I have 2 cars, one of them is MK5 GTI BWA, DSG, with Stage 2, 280 HP. I make a 5.7 0-100 and 12.3 100-200. How can be so big difference? It's only about the weight? I managed these times under the conditions that I, as a driver, weigh 110 kg, the tank was half full and the car is fully soundproofed with STP, meaning 70 kg more. The petrol was OMW Maxx Motion 100 with E10, in Romania.
