Ripped off visor, cake and confetti all over the interior. Whomever at VW you gave this back to must have been so pleased. ROFL.

As a GTI owner, I bought it because I want a sporty car without it being too "flashy".

I test drove a 2016 GTI Autobahn yesterday, and I totally get the hype now. The GTI just feels very alive - not computer-like like so many other cars today. I hear and feel more, but not in a negative way. I hear the turbo spooling, the engine revving, and little imperfections in the road through the steering wheel. The DSG is fantastic, too. Of course it's not as fast as a PDK or as smooth as a ZF 8HP, but it feels very direct and shifts crisply. What's more is that the GTI is just incredibly easy to drive. Everything just works - as far as both infotainment and driving. I might have to get one.

Visor designed to be used by the rear passengers too. Kudos VW. And Happy Birthday!

Recycled volume knob from the past 3+ years. And yes it 's a big OCD pet peeve. Leave it pointing UP and use steering wheel volume always. If someone touches the knob.. reset at first available opportunity. LOL

I went from a 2014 Mercedes CLA250 to a 2018 GTI Autobahn and I absolutely love it! I can’t believe I didn’t get a GTI sooner!

With the base GTI, you get :
- no sunroof = lower center of gravity
- no adaptative suspension = less weight
- 17” wheels = more confort, less weight
- same hp, diff, intercooler, red calipers, infotainment, drive settings, red door lights and plaid seats

"Why would someone buy a GTI?"

"Why not?"

- My thoughts exactly when I last bought a car. A GTI.

As soon as the visor flew off I subscribed

I love my GTI. I have the 7, it's everything you could possibly need in a daily. Performance, perfect amount of luxury, looks both interior and exterior, roomy, and the best part, you'll never see it coming but you'll certainly see it going haha.

[jasonrego]

Ok by far you both have put on probably the BEST review of a Mk 7.5 GTI I have seen. The videography and the graphic work is amazing...👍🏽

[lukenukem]

I've never watched a car review as many times as this one. GTI has to be my next car. Two Jerry cans in the back in the straight pipes honour.

[roboovero]

Yo I love you guys. I try to watch other car reviewers, and there's no one who has as much spirit about it as you two do. It always cheers me up. I loved seeing Jakub fling the visor across the cabin! Good job, VW.

[MrNemo]

I wished Jakub Happy B'day by unsubscribing and resubscribing. Happy?

[Fmandan]

My bone stock 2013 GTI has been a pleasure to daily drive since new. 106K miles now and I've only had to replace a coil pack...that's it. Would buy again without hesitation.

[wizardmix]

Yes please! Top trim levels + manual transmissions make me very very happy! Speaking of which, happy new year Jakub!

[inenpvu]

The little refinements they made to the front end has really perfected the look

My first car is a 2019 GTI 🤘 I have had it for a week now and love it !
