A fun night drive video of our Chief of Operations vehicle, it's amazing how this long time Honda fan can quickly be converted into a VW person just after a few short mins behind of the wheel of this baby.

LOL, I am glad to know I am not the only one who gets upset over slow drivers. You crack me up man! Thanks for uploading, I enjoyed this vid.
Might wanna get that timing chain checked out
Thanks for this video! I've been looking at a GTI for quite a while and this just adds to my reasons to finally put one in my driveway!
NIce.Same for me Sofyan.I used to be a honda and NA engines fan boy but now i converted into a VW /Audi person.I love the german built quality (all soft to the touch , the car feel like a little tank, stiff ride ,etc.) oh and their torquey turbo engines pull like fucking beasts.
I absolutely love your golf man
At the end of your video you mentioned that the GTI has a uniqueness to it.....I agree with you, these cars do have a very unique and distinctive look to them. They stand out. That`s what I like about them. They also remind me alot of Mexico....VW is everywhere over there!
Camera makes this look good at night!
to get the anticipation up for the car, its all about building suspense
I LOVE the way the interior lights up
I'm so damn jealous I love this car lol someone in my house needs to hurry up and get one of these!
We average about 22 in the city and 29 on the highway. Occasionally, we will get 32 MPG highway if we are being conservative with the throttle :)
Sofyan, just so you know...you can buy the euro headlight switch for the GTI that allows you to have just the parking lights on. It also allows you to upgrade your taillights to the LED ones with the rear foglight. Nice mod, and I don't think it requires any modifications to the existing electrical system
another great night drive video
PLEASE DO A VIDEO A VIDEO OF A NEW 2013 FORD FUSION IM BEGGING U I AM A BOUT TO BUY ONE BUT A REVIEW WILL MAKE UP MY MIND AND YOUR THE BEST CAR REVIEWER I CAN TRUST AND THINK IS MORE HONIST THEN ANYONE ELCE I HAVE SEEN
Very nice night time review - I wish other car reviewers did this sort of review!
a late model 2010 like this still runs about $20 grand. I would recommend CPO as well. If you get a 5% rate at 60 months it will be over 400 bucks, if you go 72 months it will drop under 400 but I would recommend putting at least 20% down so you don't need to buy GAP insurance but if you cant go ahead and get the GAP incase you totalled the car and you owe more money than the actual value. Either way, you will love the car and be proud to make the payment every month :)
lol sorry, should I do a night drive video of the Fit soon?
I feel like my VW CC is just a bloated version of a GTI. Still awesome to drive with tons of torque.
please do more updates of this car love it
Already one month? Nice!
I'm about 5'7" and you do have to sit a bit closer to the wheel to be able to push the clutch all the way to the floor from its long travel. I got used to it tho so it doesn't really bother me that much. IF you are a lot shorter than me it may be an issue tho
I got an email on my BlackBerry that you uploaded a video, and I was like "Yes! THE FIT!" :) and then i noticed it wasn't the Fit :( but i still enjoyed it, as always :)
Awesome! F.Y.I LED tail lights are also stock on GTI's just not on the U.S. models. The R ones are tinted and the GTI's are not. R ones do look better though. Get those ASAP it makes the rear looks so much better! The R really isn't worth the extra money unless you need the AWD. You can get as much power as an R with just a Stage 1 flash for only like 600 bucks. Plus most reviewers prefer the GTI over an R.
btw, you can get parking light switch etc, it's just they don't do it for the us market, you have to get the euro switch, for parking lights, then the auto dimming mirror for the rain sensing windows and auto headlights look at your fanpage email, I also put it to your comments on here, not sure if it went thru though it's not showing up..
I know you want to keep everyday drivability but you should tune that thing. Massive torque and power gains.
Jackson got this special cleaner and paste from the auto parts store, I can't remember what it was exactly but just ask someone when you go inside
I was thinking about that, I don't really need the AWD and I was thinking about getting a used Golf R next year so it would be about 30 grand or the same price as a new Focus ST fully loaded. I haven't driven a Golf R yet but I just like the exclusivity that you get with it
you were smart getting the gti 6speed my friends gti dsg went out at 70k miles
9:24 another FIT!! it's like an easter egg hunt in your videos to find fits...
I also look at Michelin tires if I want a smoother/quieter ride
really strong, nice and cold even in hot weather
The only thing I have a flaw with is the seat fabric. Looks soo old school Scottish. Good video
All the VW/Audi products are similar pretty much, but you could say that about every manufacture. They share parts for a reason lol
I believe when u turn off the traction control it will let u to rev pass the limiter cause i have a civic si and it works for me.
Looks truely like a very fun car. I seem to remember somewhere that the traction control can not be disabled on VWs (GTIs and Passats). Do you know if this the case? I would hate to have TC intrude on a dry day when I want to wring it out.
You got the Mk7? In Europe? Love the more aggressive design of the new model.
I dont think that you watched the full video because i watched it too and later in the video he said that when the parking brake is on, it doesn't rev past 4000rpm.
yeah i heard the same, he said its going to take 4 grand to get him a new trans and with labor. and he still has payments on it from when he bought it in 09
Certified Pre-Owned
Elantra gt as well, just wish we got the same rear suspension as the i30 version, and different engine choices, civic I'll look at as well.
funny the two cars you have are cars i want. I have an 03 neon and im looking at fits/sonics... but the fit seems alot more reliable than the sonic. The gti is my dream car for w/e reason but ill probably get a fit first then someday buy a gti.
Very nice car, I have this GTI in black but really dig the candy white. Just curious, why did you get rid of the GTI?
depends, how long did you want to finance for? What is your target monthly payment, and how is your credit score?
Can we see Jackson do a review?? :D Love the GTI you guys have!
Old video I know but, why pick a GTI, Speed 3, Focus ST over a WRX? Just curious on your opinion.
Hey, can you make a tutorial on how to drive stick in this GTI please?
Can you do a full review please
hey, whats that rattling noise everytime you accelerate from full stop? maybe its just the camera?
My roommate owns a Fit, every time I go on a drive with him he points them out... Kinda like his own version of punch buggy. I just got a 2013 GTI so needless to say I'll be driving from now on.
That GTI is awesome. I would buy one but I rather go for a DSG Trans. instead because I cannot drive a manual at all. By the way how much would custom personalized plates cost for a car.
lol thanks! let us know how you like the 2013 gti
its a tad boring in my eyes too, it would look really sharp with the detriot wheels with the bi-xenon lights
How did you clean the tailpipes? When I clean my 2008 RDX, I always just wipe them with the wet soapy car wash mit that I use on the rest of the car but it still leaves a little bit of black on them. I'd love for them to look just like new
which some people never have issues with their gti, but I might get a golf 2.5 and I still see people having issues with the focus dct, how is the mazda 3 5door with the skyactive engine?
Ohh torque steer lol 4 door is a must on these! :D
I love the GTI but I'm worried about the timing belt and electrical problems with VW.
I will soon, I just put new tires on this car, and yeah, my fit is being considered as a trade for a Focus ST, but I will wait until next year
Hey where do you get LED Tag Lights. Wanna get some for my 2012 Acura TSX and 2008 Honda Accord Coupe.
I drive around with parking lights as well :)
Hey do you think it's possible to replace the halogen headlights on a 2010 Audi A3 with factory bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights?
I value refinement with my speed, I can sacrifice some for a car that feels more expensive. The GTI and ST feel more premium than a WRX does. You get the feeling that you are driving a more expensive and upscale car. Sure, its not as fast, but you can drive the vehicle everyday and it won't irritate you as much as the tin can feeling Subaru. The noise levels are much lower, the ride is more tolerable and lastly fuel economy is much better.
how did you clean off the black soot off the chrome exhaust pipes?
hey did u get the windows tinted or did the car come with them already? I wanna get mine tinted on my 2013 GTI with 3M, what do you think?
Hey can I buy any other tires than would give a smoother ride with less road noise?
Is "wheel hop" a symptom of having worn out tires?
In an Mk6 GTI, does it waste more gas being in DSG mode, or using Sport Mode?
Thy were already tinted when I bought the car, the previous owner did it. Just make sure you tint your windows at a professional tint shop, unless you know how to do of course lol
Hey do you know if I could install a stronger suspension so that when I have passengers in the back my GTI doesn`t drop and I don`t feel the weight?
oh really? hmm what year is your friends GTI with the DSG?
How did you remove all the carbon from the exhaust?
I do work for Ford, honestly, if I wanted a car that I knew was going to be bulletproof I would buy a Civic Si, but I want something different and if its a new car with full factory warranty I'll take my chances especially since Honda's not making anything interesting right now.
what editing prg do u use ?
how much do you think the dealer would charge for this upgrade? When i bought the A3 back in 2009, the dealer didn't have any A3 with xenons in stock. If you want xenons, you have to order it and there was a six week waiting period lol
Damn that sucks, I heard that the MkV GTI's had more issues than the current models tho
my friend just bought home a 2013 ford fusion so i know their out he let me drive it so please do a video on one idk a bout where your from thoe
Its been almost a year since this video did you trade the fit for a golf r or the st ? I'd love to see your review on the R
How did you clean the exhaust tips?? Thanks
I swear its true ill try to find it n KZread and show you!
How is the A/C in this car? Weak or strong?
Sorry, does your friend speed alot on his GTI?
Ok so I just saw the "enzyte" commercial.. And it uses this opening and ending credit music for 2theredline LLC I'd look it up...
I know you want a hatch, but take a look at the 2013 Si and ILX 6 speed before you make your decision :)
but for 30 grand I could get either or which is why I compared them a bit. Even though you are right they aren't really in the same class
What service does your company provide?
Who is chief of operations?
I agree with you. The one place that gives you a good indication as to how well a car is going to do in terms of reliability is Consumer Reports. VWs do really bad in their reliability reviews. Honda and Toyota products are the best... I don't know why other car companies don't follow suit. Toyota is the # 1 car company in the world because everyone likes a reliable product. I know reliability is huge in my book. I even rather drive an ugly car then an unreliable car.
I vote ST, The Golf is getting updated in a year or two.
GTI or Focus ST?
then why can you build it on fords website if u cant buy it yet
Do you ever get tired of driving stick?
how affordable is this car? i want to get one sooo bad! with nav system sunroof in black ohh yessss. lol....how much would i pay monthly if the cost is around 20,000?(used) with a 2000 down payment?
haha that Fit always sits there
Wheel hop on speed3 without an upgraded rear motor mount is very noticeable. The stock RMMs are junk.
4 yrs? 5? I just really want it! And prob about 500 or below monthly...icar would prob be under my parents bame since im only 19 and dont have good credit yet. I was hoping to pay at least 400 monthly...what do you think?
Lol well he sure does have good taste in cars! Unless you picked it out.... ;)
I would go for the GTi.The 2.0 T engine is superb.You just can't compare a german car with those japan plastic toys.
Hey Sofyan that is a seriously good looking car :) Great review :) What fuel economy are you averaging on daily driving?
the rear drive purist in you is chuckling huh?
wahts CPO?
damn that thing is quick agreed ...torque steer is a bitch specially when you turn into a curve at 15 mph the get on it hahaha
