Yuri complains about the downshifts of the dsg but keeps the car in eco haha

[Matthew-vwgy]

Yuri: "This DSG is boring"
Also Yuri: *keeps car in eco mode*

[TheStraightPipes]

Correction: The DSG GTI does indeed have launch control. We did try to use it but it didn't work for some reason. But it does have it, as we confirmed with Volkswagen Canada

Drove the N, was absolutely blown away by how good it was. Bought a GTI, just an all around better daily car

[TheMustacheMurderer]

I drove both the GTI & the N. The 2019 GTI is in my driveway. I regret nothing.

Didn't realize I clicked a Veloster N Review

[bkdpotto]

The way Yuri pronounces decal should be illegal

[omgness]

"it takes forever to downshift"
"I just mostly left it in econ mode"


huh...i wonder why it wasn't fast lol

[TonyAutoWerks]

The arm rest does move forward! Pull lever that raises it and pull it forward

[flyguy_]

Yuri is such a GTI hater, leaving the car in Eco mode and complaining that it's not a quick shifter / not as fast or fun / etc.

Also, GTI definitely has launch control and definitely has an adjustable armrest where your arm reaches the steering wheel.

[vrgls]

Came for biased manual fanboy review. Leaving satisfied.

Also, Yuri is clearly a GTI hater.

[Noreallydies]

GTI is a million times better looking than the i30n, nicer interior design, better reliability

[mysuzyq]

Dude driving the DSG clearly has no clue about the capability of the car he's testing.

[pasharespect]

Why is Yuri such a GTI hater? 🤔 VW didn’t like his hoodies?

[boozaa]

1. DSG had launch control
2. Arm-rest is adjustable
3. Downshifts are slow, but you’re in ECO mode😂
Overall, still a good review. Definitely the best car in its class.

[MozzaBurger]

I'm mesmerized by that "dialogue" between the two in separate cars. It's so smooth to watch.

[myemailiscool]

the GTI with DSG does indeed have launch control btw

[atticuscatullus]

I hear what you're saying about the Veloster N in terms of performance. But I just can't get over the stupid asymmetrical doors!

Armrest = You can move it. My base 2017 golf has it too
