2010 Volkswagen GTI 6MT One Month Review, Night Drive

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

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.

    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.

    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

    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 :)

    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 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

    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.

    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.
