For me the GTI is the perfect daily driver, it has decent gas mileage, looks good, handles amazing, has good leg room in the back, good storage, and yet it can also be very quick when you need it to be, the only thing I don’t like is the digital dash, but over here in America we don’t have the MK7.5 yet so that’s not really an problem, and also I wish it was an bit louder, or have an option from manufacture to get an louder exhaust
i have the GLi and I went for ETS intake, and catback. thier products are great and are american products. it's aftermarket yes but their engineering for Vw's and audi's are top notch for a north american company.
When I upgraded from an MK6 to an MK7 with the Performance Pack I couldn’t believe the difference in mid-corner grip. With the LSD you can apply power mid corner and it pulls you through like magic. Total difference maker.
I test drove one of these and can easily say, I really want this to be my next car. This car has really good pull and doesn’t feel gutless even with the DSG.
Thank you for making and sharing. I specifically enjoyed the fact that you had your cam attached to your head (obviously), helping you to compliment your comments on the spot. Plus, your clear pronounciation helps non-native speakers to easily understand what you are saying. Great job!
Damn the hate in the comments.. again.. you dont have to like vw.. but saying that it is crap and so on doesnt change a thing. People will buy these cars and there is good reason for it.
@@Billeh556 You're right. But I speak from experience and find it pretty hilarious that FWD cars gettin' more and more bhp, but having bad launch controls due its torque.
3:19 that's why I don't understand those high hp FWD cars. I'm driving a 230 hp GTI 7 right now and you have wheelspin all the time. Everything above 200 hp should have AWD imo.

Hi Max, can I ask you something? Last time you tested the Polo GTI and confronted with the regular Golf GTI (the one with 230 hp), you said that you found the Polo a little bit more envolving, do you think the same about this one with the performance pack?
I have a 2019 GTI 7 speed DSG. The 1-2 shift in drive under light acceleration is mushy. Feels like it’s slipping 2nd while first is still engaged. Anyone else experience this? It’s slightly better in sport but not great. My MK7 had a better shift. I don’t want to tune the dsg for warranty reasons. I have 1k miles on it so maybe it will get better?
@@OneTwoThreePunch ok...But in my opinion the Car is great speacially when you drive in the alp‘s like me through tight corners. Even my friend with a 400HP RS3 can‘t get away from me. Sorry for the english
" A little bit of under steer.."...8:40 Um no. The car was handling just fine. The problem was you. I can't stand it when reviewers throw out words like 'under steer' and 'over steer' when clearly the problem is their driving skills.
He understeer that easy with a fwd. dont give him awd 😂 Anyways he had summer tires and is not a good driver. What you expect? for the fuckers saying he is a good driver, hes not. saw his last videos? where he really made a lot of mistakes back to back. driving dangerous.
So whats actually the main difference between this and golf R I know about the all wheel drive Obviously more power But you can tune the GTI and run 300bhp at probably the fraction of the cost as gettin a Golf R
It’s good on fuel in comparison to many other hot hatches. It’s a great car when cruising or giving it beans. Mines stage 1 and it’s just about bearable to handle with the torque steer
@@IvanIvan-sn5sq Really? I'm pretty sure it did (sarcasm). But anyways, since then, times have changed. And as it seems like, they have decided that the 2.5L will stay within Audi, otherwise we would have already seen it in some other VW group vehicles
Jan vw had the 2.5 5cilinder in the US spec Jetta and lowest spec US model Golf, the touareg had a straight 5 tdi engine and I bet there where more models.

great video, own this car for 2 month now and im in love. Its just so much fun

Another Superb video uploaded by max excited to see the whole video ✌
Those summertires are dangerous in winter...
AWD > FWD
TheDJZeroX AWD, FWD OR RWD doesn’t mean fuck all without good tires
@@Billeh556 You're right. But I speak from experience and find it pretty hilarious that FWD cars gettin' more and more bhp, but having bad launch controls due its torque.
@@TheDJZeroX 3000rpm would be enough for them
TheDJZeroX you just need good tires. Awd means awful mpg, a ton of added weight, power loss, and a much more expensive vehicle
those are option seats, you can still get clark as standard.
Epic car , best in category , i love .
best for grandpa yes
I Love this car 👍
3:19 that's why I don't understand those high hp FWD cars. I'm driving a 230 hp GTI 7 right now and you have wheelspin all the time. Everything above 200 hp should have AWD imo.
You need those +200hp when driving +150km/h, launch traction is not everything.
Got mine tuned over 330 hp, you can only kiss the paddle under 80km/h..otherwise a bicycle overtakes you.
Well I drive a FK8 type R. 320bhp front wheel, np with wheel spin. Yes if you really push it, there is some torque steer, bit it's marginal.
If you wheel spin its because you give too much throttle! Be gentle with the pedal and learn how to put the power to the ground.
just look at the ground, its wet and cold.. ofc there is less grip with summer tires
Will you Test the GTI TCR and SQ2 as well?
He must be mad driving in that speed in those freezing conditions.
Can't wait for the VW Golf 8 GTI with 300+hp!
Or the 2020 Golf R with 400hp..
kanervatie that’ll be so great probably a 2.5 L TwinTurbo charged engine
Let's hope so.
If it's as ugly as the normal Golf 8, I'll stick to the 7R
7.5 for me.
I hope they finish mine this summer so I can drive it in some sunshine
Those seats are the basic ones and you can get all leather full electrical seat as option. Yes, I find these seats more appealing than the old ones.
They are option seats. The tartan ones comes as standard.
JohnSav I was at the agency a week ago and asked them about it.
These are not the basic ones. The clark seats are the basic ones. These in this car are the honeycomb optional seats. ;)

D BongLord not even suprised🔥

Would love to see a video of the manual GTI. Also how does it compare to the other hot-hatches on the market?
this is by far the best
except for the rs3 but thats in quite another ball park
Thank you very much, very good review.
I went for mine and been hitting Autobahn 🛣 as I want as a woman I am satisfied with it
i'm one of the few people who have a US GTI that has these wheels 😉
got this car 1 week ago. Its quite a step up from my 105 HP Polo :-D
bro i have a golf 7 not the same one but it's like falling in love with it all over again
If you map this it will make 300+ hp, great engine
how would u map it
@@angeIaReputable tuner/company
i find the e-diff to be so much better. It always pulls the car into the apex rather then letting it slide out.
7:13 the golf r definitely handles better. its suspension is lower and it’s AWD. that shouldn’t even be in question.
No wonder why I got destroyed racing this with my Fiat Stilo 1.8 hahahaha

Good review very nice car i love vw golf !
We have golf 7 gtd with 184 hp 2.0 tdi nice car
Nah man sorry but it sucks
Nice review as always! Still waiting for the Megane RS 😀
Same
for me the Golf GTI Rabbit Edition is the best hot hatch.
I bought a GTI instead of the R. I need the original.
I will do the same.
Milos Vitomir GTI is more comfy and has heritage but the R is faster and handles better.. GTI is the king of hatches
@@mkviis king of hatches is civic type r ;-) try again 😂

Skdh 58 yup
Love this car❤
This car want a akrapovic exhaust

it needs a is38 turbo swap to enhance the power at around 380-400hp
400 hp on a fwd stock

@@FEVERNOVAA shut up you idiot. Is38 helps due to being a bigger turbo and less torque down low so less spinning.

Should I get this or MK7 R?

I know about the all wheel drive
Obviously more power
But you can tune the GTI and run 300bhp at probably the fraction of the cost as gettin a Golf R
You don't need that amount of power you can't use it on uk roads not practical car and it will drink fuel

mp/h ?

km/h?
