December 23, 2021, MK the owner of the Accord passed away in hospital from an unknown cause at the moment. I remember him telling me” Sam you drive the car, I want to see you drive it” - I remember him very well, his generosity, his passion and absolute honesty. Rest In Peace ☮️ MK, this video will be here forever to remember you.
I’m a BMW guy, I’ve owned a 2012 GTI, 2014 328i and a 2018 440i and I’ve never driven a Japanese car. I test drove a 2021 Accord 2.0T and OMG, what a perfect sedan except for the sound system. I was very impressed with the accord and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a large fun family sedan.
You are right on with your comment. Own a 2021 Accord 2.0T sport and I LOVE everything about it EXCEPT the sound system. Honestly, the 2007 civic I traded in had a much better stock sound system.
I would too. But I can tell you after I installed the Ktuner and went for a stage 2 map. It's a huge difference in my opinion I mean I can squeal em in third gear with my 6-speed. I can't do that when it's not tuned though. I flashed it back to stock to bring it in for a service and I noticed immediately the difference. I guess the butt Dyno versus regular track racing must tell your mind something different according to this video.
A lot of cars wake up from single tunes and you can really see their potential. So I feel it's really important to bring tuned cars. And you can also use TUNED cars against higher HP cars that are stock and compare them. Then people can see with simple tunes what their cars can do
I really enjoy tuned cars as well Sam, It shows value in cars for their money. For instance My GLI stock is not really fast at all. But with a single Stage 1 APR tune that they offer warranty on, I can beat a TYPE R and the car cost me 21k and 500 for the tune so 21500 for the total car. So I feel it's good to bring them on sometimes. Because some cars really just need one simple tune to shine. Such as the VW, Honda, TYPE S. But whatever you are comfortable with works.
Tuned and stock both are great. Would love to see this GLI vs a tuned DCT veolester. Can u drive the GLI also sometimes? I noticed u only was in the Honda
@TH-cam Sucks You guys literally look like the sore loser club who just witnessed their car get crushed and are making excuses. Yeah there was a lot of hype around the Honda. But don't forget the GLI/GTI has set way better tuned records than the 10 speed ever will. Btw I own a 2019 Stage 2 150K miles with 0 issues. You guys sound hella sad

Great matchup. The VW is one of very few automatic transmissions I would ever even consider driving. That jetta needs some better tires though. For a few hundred bucks that car can take another half second off its 1/4 mile time.
@@Japalian24 Exactly my point. The accord as fast as it is, does not have a very durable transmission. Honda is pretty famous for making weak in house transmissions and being too stubborn to change. The civic has a CVT, which i personally would never drive in any vehicle ever. Can be the fastest car in the world and it makes for a lousy driving experience. The VW DSG is a great automatic trans.

@@bmwworld2022 No it wouldn't lol. The GLI also weighs less and has a faster transmission. I'm not trying to sound like a GLI fanboy because honestly I don't like VW, but if the GLI beat the accord when the accord got a much better launch than the GLI it's just obvious that if they both got a good launch the GLI would win by a large gap, I mean y'all saw how quickly it caught up from being so far behind after a bad launch
@@walahmelons5504 well the 2021 accord 2.0 sport 0-60 (5.5) and quarter mile (14.0) is still faster then the glis 0-60 (5.8) and quarter mile (14.3) so I highly doubt that
I raced a 2018 Accord Sport 2.0T 10 speed against my friends stock 2019 VW Jetta GLI DSG. We were nose to nose on most of the runs. After 120, the GLI may be able to pull a car length ahead.
Accept the accord is Ktuned while This GLI is Cobb tuned. Cobb is the worse tune. If it was APR vs Ktune then the GLI easily would take it. Or EQT vs ktune or IE vs Ktune literally any of the well known tunes that the MK7 GTIGLI are known for getting 100+hp out of a single stage 1
@@sharktin240 K-Tune is the same thing as Cobb you douche bag kid. And actually the GLi had a better tune. My buddys 2.0T on a Hondata V4 made 480whp totally stock, minor bolt ons and a 2020 type r turbo swap. Please stop fan girling and hating. VW is hot garbage
@@elmatador4759 you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. Love both cars but an accord will NOT run 480 hp to the wheels with just a type r turbo on. Maybe a custom hybrid turbo but not a stock type r turbo. From what i see you are the butthurt fangirl here who cries over some cars. Just shut the hell up and enjoy the video
Man, the Accord just needs that little bit more power to match the GLI on the big end. Especially when you use the paddles, it gets it that much closer. But now you've gotta imagine, the TLX Type-S, which already has 355hp, but with that extra hit from Ktuner like the Accord has. That could push it well over 400hp.
What are you talking about logan? There was a 4 car difference when they both used paddle shifters on the rolling race. The accord can't compete with the GLI. The fastest ACCORD that is 500HP runs 11.7 while the fastest 450HP GLI runs 10.6 seconds. Thats a HUGE HUGE different. Tuned the VW just ruins the accord
@@martintintin7729 No matter how hard I try, I just can't find who asked? Besides, it's really a pointless comparison. The Type-R K20C1 got the bigger stock turbo.
@@martintintin7729 The only 2.0T GLI’s that run below 12’s are MK6’s, which are almost 200 lbs lighter than the MK7. Keep in mind the 2.0T engine and 10G Accord are only 3-4 years old. VW’s 2.0T has been around for well over 10 years. The MK6 is what? 13 years old? Pretty sad if you ask me...
That’s not true at all? Where the hell are you getting your information from? The MK6 GLI ran 10s and the MK7 engine broke records for STOCK BLOCK for 10 seconds this year it’s self. Further more the MK7 GLI can do WAYYY better timing than any MK6 GLI. The fastest STOCK turbo GLI runs 11.9 with videos on TH-cam. The fastest TURBO SWAPPED accord with 5 k spent on it runs 11.7. Further more, the USA GLIS get the 35th anniversary edition which is 200 pounds lighter than the one used in this video and only 100 pounds heavier than a regular GTI. Know ur facts before talking. The GLIGTI within 4 years of coming out broke records of 10 seconds while the accord 2.0 can barely beat 11.7 with 5 k spent on it
Don’t come here talking crap without knowing anything about the actual GLI. The one used in Canada are all same weight. The ones used in USA are lighter. Google GLI S or 35th US edition u fool. Jesus Christ Honda pekple try to make up anything
Do you guys realize HOW MUCH faster that GLI is than the accord for it to come back from those deficit and beat the accord? On the rolling race there was a 3-4 car gap LOLOLOL
Do u guys in Canada get the regular automatic on the areton or the dsg in the states we get the regular automatic which frm what iv heard can't handle much power if tunned
This video is really making me consider getting a CVT with a 1.5 T. Never knew that they could be tuned to make that much horsepower. Great video as usual Sam keep them coming
They're great, man. I have a tuned 1.5. Even with the base maps (ones included with KTuner), it becomes a lot quicker. I haven't used Hondata, but I've also heard great things about their tuner. However, you can buy additional tunes. For example, TSP Stage 1. (I don't believe that non-SIs have a Stage 2 tune from TSP.) Supposedly, KTuner's base maps allow for better quick acceleration, but TSP's tune has better acceleration at the top end. I use "supposedly" because I haven't used TSP yet - only KTuner basemaps.
Really interesting one. I am going for the accord if it's Ktuned since I know that GLI is on JB4 and those are only a piggy back tune. My money is on the accord.
A Cobb tuned GLI? Vs a Ktuned accord bud?? If it was APR EQT Or any OTS well known tune for the GLI like they are using for the accord the accord would have gotten smoked out of his mind. It’s a COBB tuned GLI might as well race the GLI stock LOL
@@sharktin240 nobody has clarified if it’s a COBB flash or APR/EQT flash. Just says cobb access port, just like nobody has clarified if it’s just a KTuner map, or if it’s Hondata or what “custom” map it is. You, being an insufferable fanboy should know that doesn’t tell us much of anything lol
Love this video, I have a civic hatchback sport with downpipe and front pipe and tuned by tsp stage ine and I’ve always wondered about this race!!! Thanks!!
I own a GLI autobahn myself... if u give it great tires, it hard to beat it cuz it keeps on moving higher and faster on top speeds. And also you need a good driver too lol... please SAM give us Infiniti 3.7 vs GLi jetta. Thanks
what's your recommandation for tire please? I have a stock 2019 GLI 35th anniversary (im in canada) and I want to take it to germany some time this fall for a raod trip (of course I'll be driving in the autobahn too). thanks
I got a '20 GLI, manual & stock, and I'd like to know what it took to tune it up like that - and if it doesn't affect the lifespan of the drivetrain. Nice races, by the way! 🏁🚘🚘
Anytime you modify a vehicle by increasing boost puts more pressure on the drivetrain and other components on the vehicle and it will require more maintenance to keep it reliable. I do believe APR does sell a tune and they offer their own warranty but soon as you tune your car you void your factory warranty so that's something to keep in mind if your car is brand new.
@@JuanCarlosYes Yeah, VW is VERY strict with mods on cars. The best bang for the buck is a tune. On a manual car you will need to upgrade your clutch, and you have to be careful with the 2.0 in your car with a manual. Some modified cars suffered from crank walk which basically means your engine is toast. The DSG car's don't seem to suffer from this issue. So if I were you? Keep it stock. Just so you know I drive a MK7.5 GTI with DSG and know a thing or 2 about them. I am keeping my GTI stock. Been there done that with previous cars. The bottom line? Though fun to be quicker? The stock cars are quick enough. Its also nice knowing that your warranty is intact and stock should last a very long time. If you get the mod itch though? I get it. Been there. Just trying to have other people learn from my financial mistakes.
@@YAsM-bk5kz Well if that’s unfair (stock) so are these races (tuned) since the GLI has more horsepower, you can’t pick and choose which is unfair. Also, stock they are matched because though, the Accord has more power, the GLI is lighter. If the GLI was tuned to have the same horsepower number as the Accord, the Accord would win. Tuned is actually unfair to the Accord if anything because it has more power and it’s lighter. The Accord is the superior car.
Another good race Sam. I don't know what Honda did but that Accord has really good traction for Just front wheel drive it did really good 40 less horsepower 39 Less torque. I really want to see the 4th generation Acura TL 3.7 SH-AWD against the new Acura TLX Type S ..
That's my experience with my 2016 GTI DSG with JB4. Always blowing the front tires off, even on good days. When raining, forget about it! On a roll, the GTI was sooooo dang quick, what a surprising little car. BTW, my DSG failed at 20K miles, most likely due to having a JB4, which is what we would call "slightly less than a stage 1".
@@sn4rl277late response but the Elantra N duct is also used in the sonata nline and that makes 311lb-ft of tq so I’d assume they’ll be fine maybe a little above that maybe about 350
The VW and Toyota are the top sellers in the world. So it doesn’t matter what you don’t understand. Stay mad that it’s better than the Japanese crap Honda
I’ll make a bet it will lose and I’m a GLI fan. Simple fact is, it’s a Cobb tuned GLI vs a Ktuned accord. If they used APR OR IE OR EQT which is well known OTS tunes like the K tuner that give the GLI 100+HP then the GLI easily would have won. It’s just here it’s a matter of weak tune vs proper tune
100$ give me ur snap. I promise you. Your gonna look like a fool bro. Trust me. COBB is the worse TUNE. I know the GLI can be much faster than a accord but not when they are purposely using a weak tune GLI.
@@skillzphilly8246 EXACTLY my point. Dont try and twist it slipknot. The GLI is a compact sedan that's meant to weigh as much as a CIVIC SI, but instead weighs as much as a MIDSIZED sport accord. Google it. The autobhan GLI used in this video and the accord sport weigh the same. Yet the GLI pulls. DSG is what kills the accord
Rube ur in ever comment section talking SBOUT some nonsense. Not everyone is from Los Angeles. So whatever you are saying makes you look like an uneducated man that doesn’t speak English. I guess u dint get enough of your mothers love
Wait? Why are we using a COBB tuned GLI, when it literally has the weakest and worse Reputation for the VW. I guess they don’t want to make the Honda look bad by putting it up against an actual tuned GLI. If you guys want to see a full bolt on accord 2.0 10 speed vs a properly tuned GLI just msg me. I have videos
@Rob K. yes it's a stage 3 ots tune from cobb, I do plan to eventually get a tune if I go Is38. Working on traction, 235/45/18 Michelin ps4 still break traction on 1-2 and 2-3 shift.
it's because 2019+ all the Jetta GLI come with the GTI motor and DSG trans and the same platform. And the GTI/GOLF R have been tuning monsters for a while so it's essentially the same car with a trunk
Actually it’s reversed this time. It’s a 10 speed accord that’s on Ktuned vs a GLI that is COBB tuned which is the WEAKEST tune for a GLI. They might as well race it stock. If they used a proper OTS tune for the GLI like they are for the accord then the accord would have gotten smoked. The fastest accord runs 11.7 seconds while the fastest MK7 is in the 10 seconds so I don’t know what ur even talking about
No it doesn’t? Ur so miss informed . The fastest GLI runs 14.05 stock while the accord did 14.2. The fastest tuned ACCORD runs 11.7 by Joel Felix while the fastest GLI runs 10.6. Tune for tune the GLI DOMINATES the accord. Which is why I’m this video they are using a COBB tune GLI which is the WORSE possibly and weakest tune known by every VW tuner. If they were doing APR VS KTUNE, IE VS KTUNE, EQT vs Ktune which is what gives the GLI EASY 100+HP out of a singlr stage 1 tune. The accord would get smoked
Your so delusional this is how I know ur a but hurt Honda fan boy. Car and DEIVER had GLI at 5.6 seconds. 0-60 is all about traction. TRAP speed ALWAYS say which car is faster. The GLI always traps 1-2 miles higher. Dan villa with his stage 2 accord did 0-60 of 5.4 while GLI stage 2 did 0-60 4.1 with video on TH-cam. Quit crying. They have to purposely bring a COBB tuned GLI which EGERYONE will call out on, to try make Honda look good LOLOLOLOL
Then you know nothing about cars because the GLI is far superior to the 10 speed. The 10 speed is just easier to launch out of 10 times, but with equal launches the GLI is faster. Keep crying

@@jay.fromthebay Granted that I didn't put over 100K miles on my Mk6 (tuned) GTI before selling it. So I should perhaps mention that the person who bought it has put another 40K miles on the clock since then with no issues. But the more important point is that when I purchase a new car I don't put a high priority on how difficult a mechanic will find repairing it 10 years or so after I buy it, especially when the need for the repair is likely to be likely to be a rare occurrence. If I did, I'd buy a Toyota 4Runner with an ancient engine and a five speed transmission and put up with it for more than a decade.

I love both cars but the GLI put a couple trailer length gaps on the Accord lol
@@walahmelons5504 well that’s what more horsepower does. If the accord had 360 as well it would shit on the GLI
@@bmwworld2022 No it wouldn't lol. The GLI also weighs less and has a faster transmission. I'm not trying to sound like a GLI fanboy because honestly I don't like VW, but if the GLI beat the accord when the accord got a much better launch than the GLI it's just obvious that if they both got a good launch the GLI would win by a large gap, I mean y'all saw how quickly it caught up from being so far behind after a bad launch
@@walahmelons5504 vw has more horses n torque and lighter, the torque is what pulled ahead of the accord 🙄
@@walahmelons5504 well the 2021 accord 2.0 sport 0-60 (5.5) and quarter mile (14.0) is still faster then the glis 0-60 (5.8) and quarter mile (14.3) so I highly doubt that
I drove a rented GLI last winter from Massachusetts to Florida. Great little car and very fast.
I raced a 2018 Accord Sport 2.0T 10 speed against my friends stock 2019 VW Jetta GLI DSG. We were nose to nose on most of the runs. After 120, the GLI may be able to pull a car length ahead.
Accept the accord is Ktuned while
This GLI is Cobb tuned. Cobb is the worse tune. If it was APR vs Ktune then the GLI easily would take it. Or EQT vs ktune or IE vs Ktune literally any of the well known tunes that the MK7 GTIGLI are known for getting 100+hp out of a single stage 1

@@sharktin240 K-Tune is the same thing as Cobb you douche bag kid. And actually the GLi had a better tune. My buddys 2.0T on a Hondata V4 made 480whp totally stock, minor bolt ons and a 2020 type r turbo swap. Please stop fan girling and hating. VW is hot garbage

@@elmatador4759 you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. Love both cars but an accord will NOT run 480 hp to the wheels with just a type r turbo on.

@@hondatrix naaaaah the gen 3 tsi engine is pretty stout. Even with extra power thrown at it. Main issue is our water pump/thermostat housing
They probably rigged the ECU for tax and gas consumption purposes.
Man, the Accord just needs that little bit more power to match the GLI on the big end.
Especially when you use the paddles, it gets it that much closer.
But now you've gotta imagine, the TLX Type-S, which already has 355hp, but with that extra hit from Ktuner like the Accord has.
That could push it well over 400hp.
What are you talking about logan? There was a 4 car difference when they both used paddle shifters on the rolling race. The accord can't compete with the GLI. The fastest ACCORD that is 500HP runs 11.7 while the fastest 450HP GLI runs 10.6 seconds. Thats a HUGE HUGE different. Tuned the VW just ruins the accord
@@martintintin7729 No matter how hard I try, I just can't find who asked?
Besides, it's really a pointless comparison. The Type-R K20C1 got the bigger stock turbo.
@@martintintin7729 The only 2.0T GLI’s that run below 12’s are MK6’s, which are almost 200 lbs lighter than the MK7.
Keep in mind the 2.0T engine and 10G Accord are only 3-4 years old. VW’s 2.0T has been around for well over 10 years. The MK6 is what? 13 years old?
Pretty sad if you ask me...
That’s not true at all? Where the hell are you getting your information from? The MK6 GLI ran 10s and the MK7 engine broke records for STOCK BLOCK for 10 seconds this year it’s self. Further more the MK7 GLI can do WAYYY better timing than any MK6 GLI. The fastest STOCK turbo GLI runs 11.9 with videos on TH-cam. The fastest TURBO SWAPPED accord with 5 k spent on it runs 11.7. Further more, the USA GLIS get the 35th anniversary edition which is 200 pounds lighter than the one used in this video and only 100 pounds heavier than a regular GTI. Know ur facts before talking. The GLIGTI within 4 years of coming out broke records of 10 seconds while the accord 2.0 can barely beat 11.7 with 5 k spent on it
Don’t come here talking crap without knowing anything about the actual

This video is really making me consider getting a CVT with a 1.5 T. Never knew that they could be tuned to make that much horsepower. Great video as usual Sam keep them coming
They're great, man. I have a tuned 1.5. Even with the base maps (ones included with KTuner), it becomes a lot quicker. I haven't used Hondata, but I've also heard great things about their tuner. However, you can buy additional tunes. For example, TSP Stage 1. (I don't believe that non-SIs have a Stage 2 tune from TSP.) Supposedly, KTuner's base maps allow for better quick acceleration, but TSP's tune has better acceleration at the top end. I use "supposedly" because I haven't used TSP yet - only KTuner basemaps.
Only the 2.0t accords I have the cvt’s
@@slick8972 2.0T accords have the 10 speed automatic.

I got a '20 GLI, manual & stock, and I'd like to know what it took to tune it up like that - and if it doesn't affect the lifespan of the drivetrain.
Nice races, by the way! 🏁🚘🚘
Good luck, those manual GLI's have really weak clutches so even a stg 1 tune will slip the clutch. The DSG can hold the power much better.
Anytime you modify a vehicle by increasing boost puts more pressure on the drivetrain and other components on the vehicle and it will require more maintenance to keep it reliable.
I do believe APR does sell a tune and they offer their own warranty but soon as you tune your car you void your factory warranty so that's something to keep in mind if your car is brand new.
@@dudndadn12212 well, that's not very motivating, lol.
@@eppyz copy that - thank you for the heads up! I might just wait until the car runs out of factory warranty and then trick it out a little bit.
@@JuanCarlosYes Yeah, VW is VERY strict with mods on cars. The best bang for the buck is a tune. On a manual car you will need to upgrade your clutch, and you have to be careful with the 2.0 in your car with a manual. Some modified cars suffered from crank walk which basically means your engine is toast. The DSG car's don't seem to suffer from this issue. So if I were you? Keep it stock. Just so you know I drive a MK7.5 GTI with DSG and know a thing or 2 about them. I am keeping my GTI stock. Been there done that with previous cars. The bottom line? Though fun to be quicker? The stock cars are quick enough. Its also nice knowing that your warranty is intact and stock should last a very long time. If you get the mod itch though? I get it. Been there. Just trying to have other people learn from my financial mistakes.
Why do I keep seeing GLI & Accord comparisons when the GLI is in the same class as a civic? Oh, I'm a GLI owner & love it. Good clip. 👍🏾

@@YAsM-bk5kz Well if that’s unfair (stock) so are these races (tuned) since the GLI has more horsepower, you can’t pick and choose which is unfair. Also, stock they are matched because though, the Accord has more power, the GLI is lighter. If the GLI was tuned to have the same horsepower number as the Accord, the Accord would win. Tuned is actually unfair to the Accord if anything because it has more power and it’s lighter. The Accord is the superior car.

That's my experience with my 2016 GTI DSG with JB4. Always blowing the front tires off, even on good days. When raining, forget about it! On a roll, the GTI was sooooo dang quick, what a surprising little car. BTW, my DSG failed at 20K miles, most likely due to having a JB4, which is what we would call "slightly less than a stage 1".

$50

Everyone hating on Cobb, I have MK7 gli DSG stage 3 cobb tune. I know it's not the most aggressive but it does the job for me.
@Rob K. yes it's a stage 3 ots tune from cobb, I do plan to eventually get a tune if I go Is38. Working on traction, 235/45/18 Michelin ps4 still break traction on 1-2 and 2-3 shift.
That's incredible how fast the Jetta GLI is.... I own a 2.0T but damn that Accord got smoked.
it's because 2019+ all the Jetta GLI come with the GTI motor and DSG trans and the same platform. And the GTI/GOLF R have been tuning monsters for a while so it's essentially the same car with a trunk
I say the GLI wins. People needa stop saying these things can’t go fast
Actually it’s reversed this time. It’s a 10 speed accord that’s on Ktuned vs a GLI that is COBB tuned which is the WEAKEST tune for a GLI. They might as well race it stock. If they used a proper OTS tune for the GLI like they are for the accord then the accord would have gotten smoked. The fastest accord runs 11.7 seconds while the fastest MK7 is in the 10 seconds so I don’t know what ur even talking about
No it doesn’t? Ur so miss informed . The fastest GLI runs 14.05 stock while the accord did 14.2. The fastest tuned ACCORD runs 11.7 by Joel Felix while the fastest GLI runs 10.6. Tune for tune the GLI DOMINATES the accord. Which is why I’m this video they are using a COBB tune GLI which is the WORSE possibly and weakest tune known by every VW tuner. If they were doing APR VS KTUNE, IE VS KTUNE, EQT vs Ktune which is what gives the GLI EASY 100+HP out of a singlr stage 1 tune. The accord would get smoked
Your so delusional this is how I know ur a but hurt Honda fan boy. Car and DEIVER had GLI at 5.6 seconds. 0-60 is all about traction. TRAP speed ALWAYS say which car is faster. The GLI always traps 1-2 miles higher. Dan villa with his stage 2 accord did 0-60 of 5.4 while GLI stage 2 did 0-60 4.1 with video on TH-cam. Quit crying. They have to purposely bring a COBB tuned GLI which EGERYONE will call out on, to try make Honda look good LOLOLOLOL
Then you know nothing about cars because the GLI is far superior to the 10 speed. The 10 speed is just easier to launch out of 10 times, but with equal launches the GLI is faster. Keep crying
Your actually delusional to think the 10 speed is SUPERIOR to the DSG in the GLI in terms of performance. Jesus Christ
I much prefer stock races, but I don’t mind you bringing your modified friends along
