I'm buying this car tomorrow and wanted to learn more things about this car before I actually purchase the car and I have to say hands down the best review I've seen thank you so much all questions were answered
Quality in these cars was and still is amazing for the class they're in, I tried so hard to find a like 2010 or 2011 Golf 2.5 loaded like this and it is literally impossible. They all have hubcaps and are equipped like rentals.
Its strange because when we bought ours new the dealership had plenty of nice loaded 4 door models yet last year when I was helping my ex car shop we couldn't even find a half decent one that had a center arm rest or alloys.
@@Jakeman21642I know this comment is 10 years old, but I just bought a 2010 2.5 Manual golf and know the struggle. The car is amazing and I love driving it, but it has no center console or armrest, steel wheels, no steering wheel buttons, no bluetooth, etc… This was the case with most of the golfs I looked at. I looked at a 2009 just like yours, and it was perfect apart from the fact that the check engine light came on and the car started shaking and misfiring on the test drive lol😂
Great car! There is a reason why the compact cars are refered to as the "Golf-range". At least here in Norway. It's simply the original great compact car.
oh yeah and i love these cars. like, i can never find a loaded one by me but when i do its a treat. not something you see every day and it doesnt spend its life in the shop either
I know this is a very late response 🤣 But I got this car as my first car and I truly didn’t no anything about this car, but it’s such an awesome car! Very practical and comfortable, and your received with a very nice 5cylinder noise.
“What the fwwk are you looking at?” I love it dude! Lol I’m gonna buy a 2008 2.5 S today for 5,555 it has 132,000 and it has a crazy good car fax maintenance report would you recommend a 2008
Hey man, nice review. I have a silly question, I noticed when you start up the car, the EPC light turned on then off, after a second. Is that normal? Thanks
I just got a 2008 Rabbit 2 days ago with 150000km on it. Drives like new. Cannot stand the blue dash lights. Anyone know how to change em to white? They are so dim.. I can ever barely see the Speedometer and Tachometer during the day. Cannot find anything on TH-cam either.
3k RPMs at 80? Odd, my 08 Jetta 2.5 5mt is rolling about 3350 @ 80mph. Not sure how well mine is gonna fair like that on my roadtrip from MS to PA. Been a solid car since I've had it despite that.
Its not a bad thing for a car to rev high on the highway, a lot of times its still in its peak power band. Volkswagens are well insulted too so you can hardly notice
Yea it is nice being in the power band in 5th gear. Most times you can pass without even shifting. It seems to just be a higher revving engine. I don't mind, the engine note is wonderful at those RPM's. I'm running Rotella T6 5w40 and it's smooth as buttah.
Does this have a timing belt? If s it should be coming up for a timing belt pretty soon, i think VW recommend ever 5-6 years or 70 thousand ks. Thats for the 2.0 fsi 4 tho.
Right above your left leg at the bottom of the dash and back a little. Sometimes the mounting bracket for it gets broken and maybe another owner had it tucked up somewhere in the plastic. Take a look, its there somewhere
ROFLMAO. Fuck you looking at? Damn nosy neighbors, always in people's business. Gr8 review. 1 of many reason I'll b getting one. Would prefer black or dark grey but damn. All I see on net is red which I despise the color, white, lite grey or green
It’s 180hp 170trq and dude was looking at a nerd videoing a vw lmmfao and doing regular maintenance and taking a plastic cover off is so terrible and time consuming lmfao you’re the people to take it to a dealership and pay 3x the amount

How is it holding up? I'm looking into buying the car myself.

the 2007 has 150 hp. it was upgraded to 170 in 2008
I picture this car being a lot more fun with the 5 speed

Lol! Everyone that passes by. "Wtf you lookin at bitch!"
16" Magny Cours wheels, not 17". I know. I had to order them for my 2007.
Hi, I'm 15 an looking to buy a first car and have been looking into these and was wondering if you would recommend it as a first car.

When taking off the plastic cover is indeed "tiMe cOnSumiNG bUt dOabLe"
WHAT R U LOOKIN AT! 😆
Our 02 Focus ZTW had the same problem with the antenna too.
Mines the exact same options plus auto. I have a feeling most of these are fully loaded
Awesome
My 2003 Saturn ion quad coupe has the automatic cvt and that car is fun
nice video

I know this is old, but my 07 jetta 2.5 6at rolls about 2100 at 80mph.

The 2.5L is a chain driven engine
Chain. Just change your oil and it’ll last forever. There are plastic guides that need to be replaced after a while. They wear down
Well, no... change it anyways not worth the risk!
hi, do you know where is the OBD Port? i dont find it!!

@@eastonriffle1247 it's true, I already found it. The connector was not in place, it had been removed from where it is attached. Thanks!
!@@eastonriffle1247 Thank you! i find it
The fuck you looking at 🤣🤣👌👌 gold
Pretty sure you didn’t get the leather seats either my guy... you said you had everything
That's because the MK5 didn't come with leather from the factory...
Well you didn't get leather
5 cylinder? Didn't know that existed.
Yep! Mostly used by VW and audi but Acura ran a 5 cylinder in the 90's in the Vigor.
Really? Wow never knew haha
Jakeman21642 Don't forget Volvo! They've been using I5s for ages
Ryan Gehret Almost every Volvo has a 5 cyl
Didn't know
This one or the 2007 Jetta?

Yeah why don’t you go film some more videos of your rotted out truck and the ground.
