Yellow is just neon *B R O W N*
Mr. Thig I see Alex Jones, I click like.
Fuck
Mr. Thig E Z R A P O U N D
Brown is just *POO ORANGE*
Chinese made speakers. I can confirm those cost about $3 at the electronics market in Shenzhen. The exact ones.
Well, they made by Philips in China - like virtually any other automotive speaker supplier.
o hi thar other person i'm subscribed to, and watch regularly
Damn, he's everywhere. Chinese spies everywhere!
You, again. First on Doug Demuro and now RegularCars to.You're simply a big car enthusiast, I thought you just enjoyed motorcycles. Anyway stay awesome Cmilk.
I sometimes forget you're a car enthusiast too, also conquering northern China is awesome, keep up the good work!
My favorite option for the 2017 GTI is how its able to morph its appearance slightly as it drives.
Yeah, I was wondering if was me being on the verge of collapsing into a sleep deprived induced coma or actually edited in.
it’s*
Props for knowing that “morph its appearance” is correct though.
Its the window from the film car distorting the shot
@@yammmit grammar nazi alert
@@squanto6876 It’s
Always hated that my state of Massachusetts demands you have a rear and front license plate. This guy is making me happy we have that regulation.
I am writing from Texas. Same regulation. Same happiness
Just get a front plate holder you screw into where the tow hook goes
Chris James why
Almat Sailaukhan ruins the look mostly. Looks bad
@Rabbi Stealinshekels Goldshekels
GOOD OLD UK DOES REQUIRE IT
£85 FINE IF IT'S IN THE WINDOW
yes, please take more of my money for SPEED CAMERAS. Everyone drives a Civic or a Fiesta, NO ONE IS GOING OVER 110 on a motorway JUST DITCH THE CAMERAS AND BRING IN THE AUTOMBAHN ON THE M4. CARDIFF TO LONDON IN 2 HOURS AT 165 MILES AN HOUR.
once i saw the deadpool plate i instantly hated the owner of this car
*DEADPÖÖL, or, inadvertently, deadpourrl
He even looks like the perfect incarnation of a neckbeard
once i saw it was a VW i instantly hated the owner of this car
you ameriacns have can't even begin to imagine how arrogant and hateful vw owners in europe are, they act as if every car owner of another brand is inferior trash
hulk hogan same lol
Mgoblagulkablong buddy its the same here
My grandmother has a GTI. Know why? Cause she likes the plaid seats. Didn't know what the car was when she bought it, just 1) it's a VW, and 2) it has plaid seats.
I like you gamgam then. Lady who knows what she wants and takes it.
Luke Rascher all-black leather seats are an option for this car, but I’d still go for plaid.
Luke, my 81 year old mother, who has great-grandchildren, had an shiny '98 LeSabre for 19 years, but it died last week. She bought a Buick Lacrosse. I asked her if she liked the 18" wheels and 300 hp. "I just liked the color."
OMG, this entire comment thread is hilarious! My parents are also old and I have to explain to them every single week how cell phones work. They have the ones with physical large buttons that were popular in the early 2000s too. I'd be scared to have them drive anything remotely modern or powerful.
Another cool thing about the plaid seats is even though they are cloth they still have a heated seat feature. I don't know what other cloth seat is also heated, so it's pretty unique.
This car and license plate rank high on the douchebaggitry scale.
For some weird reason I find the license plate offensive.
It's up there with that stupid goddamn Transformers badge you see on Camaros. Really? You're going to infantilize yourself by putting a toy emblem on a real car?
People who put Ä, Ö, or Ü in words where they don't belong are fucking dumb. Same goes for the backwards E because apparently it's a German letter?! Also there is no German flag on a real license plate, only the European Flag with the corresponding country code.
TL;DR GET A REAL FUCKING GERMAN LICENSE PLATE IF YOU WANT ONE SO BAD, YOU FUCKS!
Nah, backwards E isnt a german letter. You can only use that when you're R3411Y 1337. We've got the ß though. Never miss out on that one. Especially when you write only capital letters. Which is the one case we never use it. Because there is no capital ß.
Russians have sort of a backwards E, but it more resembles an actual 3.
That is saved for lifted trucks with a pipe on top and ricer civics with stickers.
I come from a family of GTI lovers... from driving the OG, the special edition mark IV, V, VI and VII... the GTI has only improved in tech. The original GTI was purely analog and I recall stories from my dad about how he used to beat V8 trans-ams at the track. At it's foundation, it's still the sport option of a base car, and as it's aged, the speakers have improved and the rims have enlarged. It's only downfall is that other cars caught onto the formula of the GTI and now it's a competitive market.
Tore-ex? I think most people just pronounce it Torks, like forks.
Catman Twerk screws
It's torx. You should already have these in your toolbox.
Mr. Regular has this thing where he has no trouble with many complex words, but when attempting to pronounce certain trade names and proper nouns he butchers them. I find it endearing, and also confusing.
Catman yes that is the correct way to pronounce it... He also prounces soundaktor wrong...
I'm pretty sure he is mispronouncing them on purpose.
Owner looks like he walked off the set of a Subaru commercial.
Minus the cloud of vape LOL!
SUBAWUHH IMPOSSIBRUHHHH
From an engineering perspective the plastic oil pan makes sense because it will not get rusted out from salt on the roads. I've had my gti for over 3 years and never had an issue with it. Great car.
That Ford Focus ST interior is just hideous.
It's a Ford
At least the seats aren't plaid.
Volkswagen: the car equivalent of the kid who gets caught and blamed for cheating on a test, even though everyone else did the same thing.
so true
True!
The Lance Armstrong of auto manufactures
Not everyone cheated. Also, did they cheat or not? If yes, then what’s the issue?
George L I think he’s referring to the diesel fiasco
The way Mr. Regular articulates his feelings is a gift to humanity.
Oh i love watching Mr. Regular's reviews on anything volkswagen. He cant hide his hatred for the brand
XxDEMONxDONUTxX
I don't think it was that unkind, he was also pretty kind to the Audi S4, which also has a soundaktor, I know because I own one and used software to shut it off. Lol
Specially on the jetta
Phaeton seemed to get his seal of approval though.
I sold VWs for almost a year after I moved across country so here's some input.
1. The DSG is more fun to drive than the 6spd. Obviously this is subjective, but I don't like short shifters and so I didn't enjoy the manual gearbox as much as I should have. Also, I dunno why, something about flicking the paddle and having it instantly downshift is fun, there's also slight burbles from the exhaust when you upshift which is also kinda nice. The DSG is also similar in design to the Porsche PDK gearbox.
2. The speaker is so fucking tiny, it's job is really just to amplify the sound of the engine. If nobody mentioned it was there to you, you'd just think the engine was noisier than normal. If you don't like it, like Regular said, just snip it.
3. The Performance and Autobahn Edition's power increase is a lie. On a dyno, all trims of the GTI make about 230-235hp.
4. People buy GTIs not because they are the fastest or most powerful, but because they are generally more refined and more comfortable daily drivers then say a Focus ST or Civic Si.
5. The Mk.7 Golf in general is a damn near perfect car. A manual TDI Sportswagen is pretty much the perfect daily runabout.
Deter Pinklage As an owner I’d agree. I wish I’d been able to afford an R, but apart from being FWD it’s the perfectly balanced car imo
"Golf in general is a damn near perfect car".. Haha, biased much?? Don't get me wrong, Golf's a nice enough compact car.. Nice drive and ride, probably class leading interior.. But VW's reliability track record leaves much to be desired. Enough to strike it down from being "damn near perfect" anyways.
Stop talking bullshit like so much other people on YT.. all of our fleetcars are from the vw group, most of them with dsg and a lot of miles on the clock.. never had real big problems besides normal maintenance..
No, it's not "talking bullshit" it's the truth. Pretty common knowledge that VW's reliability record is a bit dubious. Always love the Euroguys and American car guys defending their unreliable cars with the old "maintenance" line. Ultimately guys, yes, you can keep a car running forever if you keep replacing part after part after part on it... But just remember, one man's "maintenance" is another's "car is in and out of the shop!"
bliglum if a brand has huge succes.. the negative stories always gets blown up dude.. FACT! Remember when the Prius has had that gaspadel problem in the states..? People were like; “yeah.. Toyota isnt that reliable brand anymore.. bla bla” same story..
I feel like Mr. Regular is the ghost writer for How To Basic.
Thing is.. 99.999% of GTI's spray Hollister cologne at you the second you open the door. Or Sour Watermelon vape clouds... Usually both.
TheChimbleySweep hey ... its not my fault that i buy sour watermelon vape juice 😂 it tastes good through my recoil rebal.
Paul Morris that juice actually sounds so good
I'm more of dessert flavor juice kinda guy.
f3asttree im into fruity flavors and custerds mainly.
I do like hazelnut coffee while drinkin hazel nut coffee oh and a few other flavors
Intruative it actually is lol.
Btw yes im a total volkswagen guy hahah
Soundaktor=“sound-decor”?
Torx= “tour-ex”?
Where did you learn to read?
Ho ho! A cybermorph reference! Man I hated that game.
Yikes heard that too
Tor-X
I'm not sure on the Soundaktor though
¡Torqués! Tørk$. Törrcs.
@ on a horrible Atari Jaguar game, of course!
It is a bit odd NO ONE mentions simple chip tunes when looking at GTIs. I completely understand not taking tuning into account when reviewing cars generally, but VW turbos are aching to be cranked. Doing so is a central tenet of their following. Chips and refinement are the most compelling reasons to buy a GTI over anything in its class. APR claims "381 ft-lbs of torque and 316 horsepower with 93 AKI octane fuel" on this motor. I've not driven a MKVII but I had a MKIV 1.8t with an APR chip and gained 55hp and 65ftlbs in 2002 and it ran with zero problems for 10 years and 80k miles. I replaced the clutch once. The motor can deal.
Am I alone, but did Mr. Regular get a tiny bit more intense on this one? Either way he did his usual great job of making me have a small existential crisis about cars I'll never drive.
He always gets intense about VW
He HATES vw
In a recent podcast, he was criticized for not negging cars hilariously like he used to. He agreed. And this was a fantastic return to that form.
Mr Regular should get a day job, car reviewing, and a night job comedienne, and realize he's not very good at either. Maybe lose his wire snippers and get a life!
I swear if you dropped a wrench into that engine bay it wouldnt come out the bottom.
Yeah, it looks pretty crowded in there.
BangBang Doby that’s true of plenty of cars
I can confirm it won't. You have to bang around the undertray until whatever you dropped is in reach.
On my ST we had to just drop the undertray when a socket fell down there. There's enough room to get your arm to the bottom, but if whatever you've dropped rolls too far backwards, you are pretty much required to take the undertray off.
Been there done that in my mk7 tiny heart attack but then you just gotta knock it down the hole in the bottom pan
You missed the most important part of the performance pack: The brilliant LSD
Which basically every hot hatch has.
Yep... LSD enhances every experience, they say...
@@samosaarts Can confirm
Hearing Mr. Regular pronounce torx as "tore-ex" is a bit like hearing a longtime friend pronounce gif as jif...except more wrongerer. Just when you think you know someone...
fofalooza If you pronounce gif in a way that sounds like give because the g stands for graphical, then you need to start pronouncing laser as “lay-sir” because the s stands for stimulating, not ztimulating.
I know it like those people say wronger instead of worse.
Or Memes as Me-Mes
Well, the guy who invented the .gif file says it is pronounced "jif" so get over it.
Gif is pronounced jif....
6:07 if you don't have torx set in your toolbox, you've never owned a European car before.
He probably also doesn't know how much better they are than phillips screws.
Don't you mean tor-ecks?
My ultra American 98 jeep grand Cherokee has torx all over it. Lots of jeeps do. All jeeps do.
What a stupid front plate. They dont even look like that in Germany. Just remove it, please.
It's an SPQR flag either the owner is too lost in the ironic /pol/ memes and takes them seriously or is just an absolute edgelord.
It's a usdm thing, learn to like it
Its the German Coat of Arms on top of a German flag. I know its stylistic choice, but if he wanted it to be more German then he should have had the image be the twelve European Union stars with the D below it for Deutschland.
Xzstnce I wish I could get that front plate where I live
Xzstnce I see GTIs around Houston all the time with mock German plates but they actually look like the real ones vs this shit
9:37 - 9:40
Is that car made of jelly?
That must be an artifact of progressive scan camera
It's a Adobe Premiere thing, when you drop an auto shake stabilizer over your footage
A cherry flavored blob like the jello in the cafeteria line 🤤
I love living by him and understanding all the road references he makes
God that fake German license plate is lame.
Colin Reisser USDM as fuck!
Pretension is so much worse, and sadly easier, than having class. The license plate is proof of that.
There is so many things wrong with it. Plates like that would be illegal in Germany and the ö doesn't fucking work that way. It infuriates me.
tore-EX
what. is. torex?
It's Torx (torques/'torks') with a fucked-up accent, or with the ignorance that this channel all too often passes on as knowledge, from what I can tell. Maybe it's some new form of Torx head though?
Mambo Dave look up the definition of satire. And sense of humor while you're at it.
It's the VW SUV thing... the Touarex
It's not, it's just a torx head.
Also, god forbid you have to have the right tools to change the air filter.
I'm loving the Car and Driver voice. Exactly the voice in my head when I used to read the fancy-typefaced print version in the '80s...
Each one of these videos are insanely funny and informative. I hope they pay you for this, its serious entertainment that has a gear head/learning part to it. Perfect. Keep making videos. Please.
I'm guessing that black Camaro behind you is next week's car
"Torx the official fastener of JAMMIN' AN ALLEN KEY IN THERE" hahaha
Fun fact. Most of these cars dyno'd at 220-230 whp stock.
With the stages 1 ecu remap (which at the dealer doesn't void the warranty even on stock clutch) it's kicking out over 300whp
but you gotta get stickier tires or else you're gonna spin away all that power
And it's front wheel drive in a car that weighs nothing, more horses you put to your front wheels the worse your steering gets, plus the tires on these cars are not wide enough to really put that sort of power to the road anyways, they are based off economy cars FFS.
I bet if you take the stock tune and the stage one tune around a normal track you'd see little to no difference and the higher horsepower one could infact have a worse track time.
Hell at the price of the GTI you can get a couple year old Taurus SHO that's only has a few thousand miles on it and that car will kick the shit out of the GTI and ST.
That car is pushing V8 levels of power.
FuzzyCholo yea tbf that's quite a good point. Golf r would put down the power much better and the standard pirelli p7 are pretty crap.
But imo the extra power is still Hella fun
+Charles Du the Golf GTI is only 25ish grand fairly well loaded, it's cheap, thats only five grand more then a *BASE* Civic EX.
a *new* Taurus SHO starts at 42.
Redneck Fury I don't get your point. You just said a Taurus sho that's lightly used is the same price as a golf gti.....
I think this guy just doesn't get VWs, or hatchbacks for that matter, but glad he finally brought a GTI onto the channel.
custom euro plates are stupid
Custom plates are stupid
Its not even a Euro plate. German plates don't look like that at all. The backward E is from the Cyrillic (Russian) alphabet and the double umlaut ( ö ) makes it read like "Deadpoeoel".
It's just a train wreck.
that's why it's stupid. The backwards E is not from the cyrillic either, because that one looks like this: Э
The E is the limitation of the German plate font, I'd wager (that bit they got correct, at least).
Adds 5hp bro
Lowkey roasted the owner.
Nitesh Kumar, that is part of the whole "shtick" of the show, the car either floors mr. Reg by how incredible it is or the owner gets compared to whatever shortcomings the car has.
You're the DSG of TH-cam reviews. Smooth, never knew how much I needed in my life untl I had it, and sealed for life with low maintentance but with a slight risk of it exploding in your face and killing you. Ish. Thanks for your work dude. Love every minute.
Sound-decor? Tour-ex?
I am all for manuals all day, if a manual is offered, that's what I'm getting, but, I have to agree, that DSG in the VW is amazing!
All the Americans crying "sleep schedule" and here I am with some nice Monday morning viewing. Mr Regular clearly left his heart in England
Bryn Clarke I work overnight so he has great timing for me.
Bryn Clarke idk why they even complain. I love waking up to a new regular review
I haven’t seen any yanks crying sleep schedule though
Bryn Clarke or china , comes out in the afternoon/evening
Why not both? I'm at work (in the US) right now watching this video.
I feel like this RCR review is a return to the RCR reviews of a few years ago. I love it!
Where has this channel been my whole life? Love it
PLAID. SEATS.
Gotta admit, I kinda like 'em.
My wife wanted a gti but I told her only if we could get the plaid seats....she said no
Misael Jimenez
Your profile pic says it all!
I've heard that one of these earned the most gayest cars of the year!
its GTI-Heritage. remember your roots ;)
Tim Riener cannnot get a moderen gti without plaid 😮😮
The options sheet said 10 horsepower.
MarkOne No one buys the performance pack for 10hp. They buy it for the really good LSD and upgraded brakes.
The soundaktor isn't because exhaust baffles are expensive, the Golf R has both, it's because the cars have become so well sound dampened that in order to make the exhaust loud enough to be satisfying on the inside it becomes obnoxious on the outside.
that deadpool plate gives me cancer
Plastic oil pan? Jesus Christ
Hmm, oil gets hot. And plastic degrades over time...hmmm...
all i can see in the future is $$$$$ for either a replacement or a new motor
Plastic gas tank too!
Bryan Gullickson smart move by VW. They need money right now.
How to be worse with plastic than 2000's GM, make everything plastic.
A plastic oil pan? Uh... why in god's name?
chbrules cheaper, lighter. Generates revenue.
Because engineering? It's the same reason the Mark IV golf had the oil pan in front of the crossmember just waiting to spill all the oil out any time you hit a bump. Volkswagen hates you. Part of the reason why VAG cars have the highest rate of engine failure in North America
Greg Lanz no. Because bean counters.
you know diesel trucks had these first? The new mustang GT has it too
Big FING Box which diesel trucks? And Mustang GT is not a design benchmark.
I can't get enough of this review!!
Would love a revisit of a stage-III tuned mk7 GTI with the 6mt. you really get a different experience in that.
mister regular pls
@@SpaceMissile I don’t think he’ll do it
Sometime down the line, that Sounddakor is going to go wrong, it's going to rattle and buzz, and someone is going to think there is something seriously wrong with their car, and probably get bent over by a dealership.
Dead Reckon yeah they will say your exhaust is broken. And youll have to ask which one the real one or the fake one
Dead Reckon and to the unaware owner, VW dealerships are the kings of bending you over lmao
Why would you say that? VW electronics are solid.
You think the Deutsch didn't bank on that? ;) Mo money heh heh
Nah, not an issue. It's not a speaker actually; it's just a vibrator for the windshield.
I like that thing for a very good reason: I don't have to hear it, unlike the lame "race" exhausts some idiots put on to feel better about themselves. Noise inside, silence outside.
People have crashed so many of these in the UK you've got to be a 40 year old church pastor before the insurance gods will even think of insuring you.
when I brought a Mk2 from Germany to the US, the insurance gave me serious sticker shock
This commentary is why I enjoy RCR so much!!! Keep it up!
Was hoping you'd do the MK4 but finally you reviewed a GTI. Satisfied!
TOREQS?
IT'S PRONOUNCED TORQUE! That killed me.
Kurics?
A GTI without a manual? Heresy.
no
No not really
Heresy. Right.
Where have you been for the past 12 years? DSG has been a popular gearbox since the Mk5
They're available with a 6-speed
"It's the chicken alfredo of cars"
Oh my god that is a flawless metaphor.
LOL.
This is one of the best videos of yours I've ever seen.
The grumbley voice you used and the words you spoke while the camera stared at the center console killed me. I imagined the face that's created by the air vents as the eyes and the infobating screen being the mouth being a Volkswagon grouchy old richy rich executive you were voicing at the time. I hope you meant to do that because I know I sound insane! lol
Oh my god.
Fuck fake engine sounds
twotailedavenger yeah that's the best idea.
It shouldn't be there anyway though
Driven one, sounds like ass with it off or on haha
If I wanted fake car noises, I could do it myself.
NEEEOOOORRRRRRMMMM VROOOOOWWWWWMMM BRAAHHHHHHWWWWWWWW *SKRRRRRRT* BROWWWWWWWW
1CoLoRz2 Which really is a shame, the inline 5cyl it used to come with has to be one of the most soulful sounding engines of the last decade.
who ever asked for this???? which customer thought “I will buy car X but only if it comes with hidden speakers that play engine noises”
What GM product has he reviewed with the 4L80E?
I love this channel. So much gold.
You can turn off the Soundaktor but keep all other sport mode options on by using the custom driving mode fyi
The worst thing about this is the front plate.
@9:50 I had to pause to go make sure I hadn't quad dosed the cough medicine.
Turn on the video stabilization.
I love my '16. First sporty car I've owned. Plastic intake manifold, plastic oil pan, and a couple other small annoying things but still love it.
"it's the chicken alfredo of automobiles" That is hilarious man, absolutely spot-on
I'm loving your style of doing videos more and more! VW rly thinks we're all stupid lol
Is anyone else bothered by the fact that he gave him the keys to a car that uses push to start, even when he was sitting right next to him, and he immediately put the keys into the cup holder?? Like, why...
Sound "Dok-tor" as in "doctoring" the sound. Always enjoyable stuff Mr. R.!
4:35 stare at the wheels to make car glitch
hahaha nice review of the car i love... cant quite tell if you liked it or not... but funny as usual!
How many of you guys would like to see a Pontiac G8 GT review once I buy one and let mr.Regular drive it?
Raunchy I'd love some GTP and GXP reviews as well.
Hell Yeah dude!
GallopingWalrus if someone out there offers a GXP they deserve an award. But what do you mean GTP?
Raunchy I mean, yeah the GXPs are nice, and quick, but GTPs are just easier to find. I'd prefer a GXP, just because they're top of the line, but I've seen way more GTPs for sale around me.
I don't think they know the G8 didn't come in GTP trim
I'm so glad I love in PA and get all the references. Hilarious!
Haha awesome review! Love the ending!
2017 vw golf gti: the ford mustang of europe
haha
no, no, no... BMWs are the mustangs of europe.
One of the best car ever. GTI has evolved to a beautiful machine. I had a 1986 GTI and this 2016 is very, very good and great mpg.
The nice thing about the GTI is that the aftermarket is so healthy that you can easily make it as obnoxious to be in as you want. The refined feeling comes by way of Volkswagen using rubber bushings in interesting and creative ways, like the rubber bushings around the caliper slides, or in the case of the manual clutch equipped models the rubber and plastic pieces throughout the shift assembly. IMO the best bang-for-buck upgrade for these cars is to replace the rear position lower control arm bushings with a pair from the Audi TT, which costs around $50 and a couple hours in the garage.
Man I wish you were in the 6-speed manual but still a great ep!
Mr Regular need an unlimited access to Jay Leno's garage and review every single car Jay has stored. Or any guy with many car like Salomondrin and Shmee
az zahar it would get boring. Part of the RCR fun is that it's like a scavenger hunt for cars.
He would have daily videos for like 2 years and a half
And his thing is more about social commentary around a car, rather than the car itself
Pretty much all MK7 & MK7.5 GTis regardless of the sport package make about 220whp
I have this same car except white with 6 speed. To clarify, if you choose “custom” option you can select steering, throttle response, and sound on/off to your liking. I keep it turned off. Once warmed up, on downshifts and idle this has a great deep exhaust note.
I'm a VW fanboy, but that has nothing to do with why I love this video. This video was fantastically written. So good.
Got my Jetta GLI 2 weeks ago and I can’t get enough of it. Even with the fake engine sounds the car feels amazing.
Focus ST or Golf GTI, which is better? Miata =V
Focus
Both are shit
The miata is too expensive
(A New Challenger Approaches) Civic Type R pulls into the lot.
pauljs75 if only we got the i30N in the states. That'd be a nifty competitor
pauljs75 Civic Type R is ~$10k more. It's competitor to the Golf R and Focus RS, not the GTI and ST.
I love mine. Went steel oil pan, 1.5 inch low, rpf1s, catless turbo back, stage 2 jb4 stacked, indy 500s, engine breaker mods, is38. 366hp, 378tq.
Stock 227hp, 266tq.
The VW GTi is like the hat of a magician. Even though it's not a hat you would want by the looks of it, you still buy it. you buy it because you know that deep inside this hat has lays a really cool and fun rabbit waiting to come out .
Are you fucking kidding me? Speaker for exhaust note, effect?
JRP Romeo156GTA More for induction noise, but yeah. Lots of cars have something to that effect.
clutchthepearls very surprised vw done this. I prefer the real deal, my gta...
th-cam.com/video/WysjkWb5i5I/w-d-xo.html
They are very common even the LFA has one.
and that's why Italian cars have soul, German cars not so much! Excellent taste you have JRP Romeo 156GTA. :)
TassieLorenzo But German cars still drive while Italian cars are already rusting on junkyards.
I'm 21 and owned VWs my entire life. I would take one of these in a heartbeat loved all of my gti's.
All your life? Right
You can loosen the Torx 'torex' screw by jamming down a flat screwdriver in the hole. It works for me everytime!
The PA references in this show gets me all the time, the Beaver Ave professor quip gave me flash backs to college.
Makes comment about car being cold and heaters not warming up for 11 minutes, shows heated seat buttons later.
Germans: always ahead of you.
Diamond Hell German cars have no soul
Only the winter package
Normally you pay in German cars extra for everything. Like AC, Electric Mirrors, a Radio (yep sometimes you haven't got a radio in the base package), automatic transmission, power windows, esp, pretty much everything. In some cars you even have to pay for power-locks. And not to mention in the VW T5 (last gen) even the floormats were optional.
Most people replace the cloth floormats anyways, least I do haha
Look at you funny Septics running away with your stereotypes.
Oooh you are funny ones!
Drive a tuned one with a down pipe and exhaust it’s a lot more fun
You got me at the allen key in torx bolt bit. Guilty.
Why does one of the daytime running light turn off when this car has halogen turn lights in a completely different location?
1 simple tune offers 300 whp, this is where the car starts, no other car gains this much power like this, best in class.
So they build solid motors ( all Germans do ) rest of the car is too expensive to own for what it is . Not durable or very reliable
Not if you live Germany
Parts are cheaper here!
papi miami what is unreliable with these cars?
This was a hard watch
The plastic oil pan is actually stronger than the thin gauge metal one it replaced.
You can also create a custom drive mode setting wherein you can disable the sound amplification but leave steering and handling in sport mode, or any other combination.
