I missed this guy. Carfection just isn't the same without his attitude. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year mate.
He isn’t back. This is a reupload sadly
I am under the impression Alex still runs Carfection, but doesn't present anymore. I think he was someone who didn't think he was a good presenter, but I actually think he worked his way up to being one of the best. Now that Carfection has Henry Catchpole, I think Alex felt he should step away from in front of the camera. But I hope he comes back!
Where even is Alex working at now??
Motor1 UK
I know the lupo gti isn't a golf but i think it evokes original golf gti very well from a modern standpoint would love to see a lupo in this company
The ghost of Carfection Past
Almost 3 years old video about my favorite 40+ years old car. Good job Carfection 👍😎
I miss this guy
gagu112 did he quit?
Optimus PrimeG1 i do not know

Why are you re-uploading ?
King Of the monsters many TH-cam channels do this right now
frosty95xy tell me the name of another TH-cam channel that does this
King Of the monsters Carwow
Optimus PrimeG1 haha nice try I'm subscribed to carwow and they don't re upload there videos
King Of the monsters im sure they deleted and reuploadef a couple videos judgin from the comments but i could be wrong
Damn, I miss Alex. Where is he now?
And just remembered: the captain of my high school had an MK1 GTI when we were seniors. That little thing could get up and go. Good memories.
An old friend of mine had one of these nicely tuned. Quick, noisy, great handling, and a ton of fun. It ate fuses like popcorn, though.
Why is this re-uploaded with a slightly different aspect ration and color correction?
NviForce i saw this before
to annoy you personally.
Very excited, always wanted a Golf GTI.
I have 2 of these here in southafrica,one heavily modified and one stock standard,they are still common over here and parts are extremely cheap.I like my original one more,best car ever made in my opinion and super reliable....
I had an early 1.6 and the ex mother in law would testify to the firmness of the shocks 😀! The engine seized/ my ex was driving?? Got a 1.8 out of an A reg and yes it was smashing 🤣. I've had mk 2's and they were a proper all rounder and still massive smiles ☺️
My first car was a 77 Mk1 golf (rabbit)
Love my MK7
Only just found this, excellent video
When Alex was still on Carfection :D
Yaay, Alex Goy's back. Happy New year 2018!
1:22 "Golf Schport"
in Germany the say "schport" instead of the english "sport" word.
It was simply genius, for the asking price you got a lot of car. The thing that sticks out for me is how quick it was, the throttle was very responsive with just a little pedal pressure.
I miss you man. Where have you been?
0:28 there’s a transparent man on the right side
You want us to watch all 5 parts but they're all set to private?
I WISHD ID HAD SOME DAY MKI1 GOLF GTI AND MK2 RED
Crazy rims!
ALEX!!!!! I wanted you to do the review of the RS4 cause you are that Audi guy. pls come back in more reviews :)
Which model Volkswagen GTI has the best power to weight ratio?
Why aren't these in order? MK1, Mk7, MK4, MK2, MK5/6. I'd think it would make more sense to show the actual progression...
i wishd id had some day golf mk1 green and red and yellow
This wasnt the first hot hatch, the first fwd hot hatch was the renault 5 gordini
I have owned 4 different marques of golf gti. And my opinion is different to that of the guy in his previous videos. I still prefer the mk4 currently driving a mk5 daily driver and having a project car 1.8t mk4 AGU with a ko4 turbo, gutted interior running about 280bhp at the wheels.
I'd like to have a GTI vr6 1992 sooped up.😢
My guy
My biggest concern was the price of the mark 1. Correcting for inflation, this car cost over £30K. It cost 50% more than other Golfs at the time. Yes it was 100% better but it was not the budget giant slayer that folklore suggests. It became an aspirational yuppie toy. Today’s GTIs are criticised for being expensive but they were better built and cheaper than the mark 1. Of course the mark 1 was relatively speaking fabulous because so many cars in the mid to late 70s were dreadful. Interestingly the other amazing car, the 240Z was very little more.
The bald man is back! Hooray! I love wolverine, but I missed this guy!
Why the reupload
to annoy all the boring, nagging people.
"Six successors"? More like seven.
A red MK I
II.
Trick question... Ford Probe GT!
Why are you just reuploading/rehashing the old video where you go through all of the GTi generations?
why not.
because its a scummy practice and this has all been shown before in a previous video?
nagnagnag
lame reposting old content and yes I know by commenting on this I'm ironically helping the channel
nagnagnag
3:20 "a good idea" It isn't because the golf mk1 gti wasn't the first hot hatch...
Don't re-upload old content just to have an upload on Christmas. Shame on you.

REPOST!
so what.
Don't know where this dude has got his performance figures from, but they weren't that quick.
as he said, they where quick for the early seventies.
I just meant his figures are wrong.
Best Golf ever? Golf mk2 gti 16v
what`s the shadow at 0:29? ghosts ?
MK2 best car in history
Still slow compared to the Hottest Hot Hatch of the 70's....
All Hail the mighty LX Holden SS Torana A9X hatch, King of the Hot Hatches....
Aussie Aus Deutschland their good but I still like my overrated golf gti mk1
all were POS cars..
Which cars do you feel were superior? If you think VW cars were POS then the bar is set pretty high for any contender.
that's just..like..your opínion..man..
Total POS.
I can not think of anything worse except for maybe the Vega. .
We get that. What cars do you think were better, though? What are your thoughts on superior brands and what makes you prefer them?
