Even though the MK6 is now 2 model years old I believe its still a relevant car on the used car market. This car has tons of the characteristics that drive enthusiasts look for in a car. Consider that now in 2020 the MK6 celebrates its 10 years of delivering smiles world wide... Pretty amazing, right?

In this video I cover my "top 5" reasons why I still love my GTI and why I think everyone should run out and buy one.
Check it out!

Well done. I’ll take my 2012 MK6 over any of the other Gens. The MK8 is butt ugly. Love my GTI!!!!

Reason 6! - Honest to goodness, REAL gauges, not some LED screen representation.
With over 100 years of automotive technology behind them, gauges just work. They don't fade in direct sunlight. They don't have pixels that go dead or get stuck. They never need a firmware update. The controls - buttons, switches, and knobs are well placed, and provide good feel / feedback. You aren't pressing them by accident. You aren't taking your eyes off the road, and you know when you've activated them, unlike the touch, buttonless controls in the Mk8. Unfortunately, the Mk8 has gone to an all glass cockpit. That's great for a 747 passenger jet, but I want to DRIVE.

Mk6 GTI, the most beautiful looking GTI, and still drives awesome! And it is tunable and can be very fast. It has great engine with some fixable issues, nice looking interior...I enjoy every time when I sit to drive it.

You absolutely right on the mk6. I love my gti

I still have my 2014 Mk6 GTI and love it

Well, I have a mk6 too. But mine is the base model with the 2.5, 5 cyl motor. It’s like a little rocket. And it is smooth as silk. The car makes me feel good when I drive it ! 🚙

Been driving my manual 2013 2dr GTI since the day I bought it new. I love my GTI! Very reliable and after 92k miles it still drives like new. I will never get rid of my car. It's beyond fun and so very, very pretty.

Just picked up a 6-speed 2011 GTI for our son. So fun to drive!

I love my 2013 Drivers Edition, I picked it up summer of last year. I've done a lot to it since then and I love it!

I have a modified 05 tsx, a 2022 crv, and just picked up a 2013 gti 2 weeks ago. Not gonna lie... out of all 3 cars I REALLY enjoy driving the Gti the most 🙌🙏😅

[bonnorbassidy]

I just bought a super super mint perfect condition 2011 n I am in love with it and especially the plaid seats

Ive been driving my 2014 GTI Wolfsburg for 10years now and i put 123, 000 miles so far. I love it like the day it rolled outta the showroom floor. In 10 years the only problems were the water pump and the turbo which were both replaced under warranty. K ock on wood i haven't had any problems with the timing chain, PCV or manifold. Still going 💪. And looks great too.
Do you think i should change the pcv even though its still good, its only $100

[vexinno]

Had mine since 2012, 187k miles goin strong nothing major has needed replacement yet. Biggest thing was water pump at 160k miles

I bought a 2012 Autobahn Edition 4dr GTI with the DSG 2 years ago. Last September, I added a k04 turbo, fmic, downpipe, coilovers, swaybars, light weight wheels, and had the dsg tuned. It's a completely different animal now. I still get 22mpg daily, and over 30 on the freeway. I've since added a 2013 Golf R as a weekend toy in January. My favorite generation Golf. I've had Corvettes, mustangs, twin turbo Rx7's, 240sx's, and S2000's. The mk6 Golf is a great car for people who love to drive.

I own 2012 gti very very very good. very reliable . Keep going every day on time……sweet ❤❤❤

I still in love with my mk6, great video bro 🔥🔥

[koyomi]

Love my mk6! Recently went Stage 1 93 and it's like driving a new car.

[marcuswarren]

I agree with your Mk6 assessment and I would still be driving my 2013 black 6-speed if an idiot towing company which had no right to tow my car hadn't damaged it and basically destroyed the engine internals.This less than a month ago. Insurance company totaled it. It had a hundred and seven thousand miles on it (41000 when I bought it late 2016). Loved it!

[steveo]

It’s worthy of anyone’s hot hatch list.

I am really considering a Mk6. I've currently got a 2007 Lexus RX 350 but was just told the repairs would cost 3k. I was planning on driving it into the ground and getting a mk6 but hopefully I can get some cash for the Lexus before it does bite the dust. Some of the issues and DIYness of the mk6 is a little scary for someone who just now seems to be getting into cars. I need help deciding what to do! Thank you for the vid
