Enjoyed your review of the Gti. Informative but not too much and your personal touch made it entertaining.

i just bought one of these as my daily, i love it. I was shocked by how much quicker the car is in sport mode, its amost a different car.

Dude this is the best car review I've ever seen (barring Clarkson/May/Hamster), nice job. Call your show "Second Gear"

What a great review. I've just ordered one of these and found out some new details I didn't know so now I'm excited even more

Man, great review. Thanks

Great videos broh...advices at the end are so true , thanks.

Great video, even greater personality. Keep being you bruh.

I always wanted one..& I just got one..your right bud,the car is great as it is..no need for mods .

Good review. Said it before and will say it again: second gear, second gear, SECOND GEAR. You want a fun car for the city, that is THE thing to focus on when testing it because most of your time is spent at 25-50 mph.

Just sold my Rs3 & picked up a 2016 Dsg GTi last week with only 9k miles on it.

I’m actually looking at one of these now. And it’s going to be stock for maybe a week. Going for a stage 3 no crackle tune with a is38. Hopfully that is enough for 12 seconds in the 1/4 mile.

Really good video dude, thanks!

I’ve been watching a bunch of Mk7 Gti reviews for no other reason than wanting to drive mines. 😂

Love the GTIs! Would love to have a 2 door with the plaid seats!

Agreed but the name of the motor reminds me the name of the Rios motor

The golf ball shifter is standard on the manual trans still

Just bought a '15 2 door 6 speed and it drives excellent and seats are excellent. I agree I didn't want a tuned up with all kinds of gadgetry. Insurance is a little stiff for what it is.

tuning this car although is really good, down pipe it maybe, but doesn’t need more mods than that, make it a sleeper 😉

I know this is three years later but, I love the look of this car. I like the white and that subtle red stripe on the front. I'm looking for a good, used car that gets good gas milage, automatic and will be a daily driver mostly around town for errands. I've retired and don't have the urge to modify my cars anymore but, this one doesn't need any modifying. I do have one question if you should run across this post again. I am a larger guy, probably about (maybe larger) your size. Is the driver's area roomy. As I won't be going on long trips but, I do need a certain amount of room. Also, how is the brake and gas pedal layout? In some smaller cars, my big foot will sometimes press them both at the same time as my foot laps over. Does the hatch door that covers the spare lock in place when lifted up? I know some cars have little "fingers" that catch the hatch door to hold it in place while you remove the spare. I thought I saw these fingers in the rear. Thanks for the great, thorough review.

Ayo this man is speaking fax (have a 2017 gti and I love it)

Love it my daughter had a 2015 Jetta se she gotten the Jetta brand new till April 25 2019 some one in a another Jetta runed a red light side swiped my daughters car was still drivable so she was able to drive her Jetta to her house but the next day when she took it to the body repair the said it was totaled so she just got a new car a couple weeks later after the accident she got a new car a 2017 Toyota Corolla im

Lies. The mk7 and other VW cars in the last 7-8 years are miles ahead of previous year's reliability. I've had a stg 1 ecu tune for 45k miles on my GTI and never seen a check engine light. Don't live in the past when it comes to you preconceived opinions of 15 year old VWs reliability.

Can confirm. I’ve had mk3’s and mk4’s in the past. My Mk7 has been Stage 2 tune by eqt since 40k and currently sitting at 140k 0 issues/ No CEL ever! Maintenance is everything.

Just got a mk7 a week ago. Love your review man.

Great review ,agree with you 110%.I currently have a the exact car you have here except mine is 6 -speed stick.(2017 also) I always had a Japanese car and was always weary of Volkswagen because of the reliability issues I kept hearing about . But the more I researched the GTI ,I found the same pattern . Most , not all ,were probably a result of the many modifications people add to these cars. I am not saying you cant modify these cars, but if you do , you are definitely opening up yourself to possible problems because of the tweaking from factory specifications. I am not saying you have to baby these cars. But if you continually tweak them and always push them to limit ,you are opening yourself up to possible problems ...drive hard ,,,pay hard..There is a car detail channel on youtube and he bought the exact same car here and was putting up videos of all the modifications he was doing to it(plus tracking it )...had all sorts of problems and was wondering why...its not rocket science

@@LacrossePunk20 Its basically up to you. That's why a lot , not all, people buy GTIs because there are so many mods you can do to them . Just remember , not just in Volkswagens, but in all cars , the more modifications and tweaks you make on any car ,you are opening up a can of worms for possible problems

@@deflep007 most definitely 👍 I had a Caliber SRT4 with some mods and a tune and it was a lot of fun but I'm getting older and want a refined daily tuner car. I'll probably get the Injen Evolution cai and maybe a tune down the road.

What about to maintenance guys? Are they any issues or does it expensive to fix ? Compare to Honda . Thanx

Lol I like how you got so poetic St the end lol.

id love an update on that z31

What about an exhaust and a rear bar?...a little bark and better handling never hurt anyone...

I’m looking at one. But I want a manual.. and that’s proving difficult. Luckily my car is paid off so I have time… I want what I want..

I have test driven so far, five GTIs, MK6s and MK7s, all of them suffer from some sort of interior premature wear. Peeling liners, worn or torn seats, steering wheel excessive wear, center console wear, cracked plastics, etc. Am not saying trashed interiors, it is premature aging of surfaces. I did not find one that had an immaculate interior. I have seen older vehicles from other brands and the interiors look mint with no tear and wear.

Great video my boy, hey a word of advice make sure you get the smell of vw gti off before you get into your miata, cause we all know how those miatas can I get am I right..... Btw I don't know how Miatas get so don't ask me lol.

The mk7 s are fairly reliable even modified.

I'm looking to buy a used 2017 GTI, hopefully something with less than 20,000 miles on it. How do they hold up as a used car?

My wife has the 6 speed manual GTI. It’s how it is meant to be.

Yes. Finally.

55k miles on my turbo swapped 400hp 2017 GTI. These engines can handle power. Water pump and clutch are the weak links on these cars. DSG for the win.
