The Cinematography, the Editing and the overall Production Quality are absolutely BRILLIANT 👌

4:50 "Back in 04, the only thing quicker than this was Lance Armstrong. And he. . . I mean he had help." I died. xD

[MrLandolph]

Rory is the MAN! I love all his reviews even when I don’t love the car.

[TheStaniG]

I just found this video in my reccommended and man this guy is a good presenter. He knows how to present and get you excited, he knows how to drive and he touches on the points car guys care about without sounding ostentatious.

Subbed because of him, and it looks like you've got a cracking lineup of cars and head to heads that look amazing.

Rory what an amazing review, your presenting skills is amazing, round of applause to you, all the way from South Africa

[avuazahc]

6:33 . . . . and this thing can literally fly as seen all the way from South Africa via YouTube

I present to you (in my opinion) one of the best motor journalists on media at the moment.
Keep it up Rory!!

For me Mk 1 was the original, Mk 5 was the greatest comeback & Mk 7 sealed the reputation of this icon (maybe even the best GTI so far). IMO Mk 6, although it looks soft & mild, it is still the best looking. 09:17 reminds me of my recent birthday celebration 😃.

Superbly undertaken. Rory has nailed it...

[robinalsop]

I love how the video quality and colours change throughout the course of the video, matching the generation. Epic!

[animalcol]

Mk5 is just the daddy for me.

Perfect mix of practicality and performance.

The ultimate sum being greater than the parts car

[kings_chronicle]

You sir are brilliant in reviews you can sell a car to anyone, keep up the good work brother.

[psdubbs]

Another brilliant review and we can all forgive him for not reviewing the onboard multi media system and lack of buttons 😂

The cinematography was great, specially for 1992 and 84, where you feel like this is 92 or 84

[qelzvwb]

still not regret to have my 7.5 gti as my first vehicle. your video makes my heart accelarated...lol

[dream-_weaver]

"The only thing quicker than this was Lance Armstrong, and he had help."🤣 (brilliant!)

[trouble]

The best car reviews on the internet.. Rory and the team.. keep them coming!

[davecrawley]

Those “seat covers” look like the kind of Hanford bought, one size fits all covers you’d have bought at Halfords if you had a Nissan Bluebird as your minicab in the early 90’s.

[automotivania]

Each gti seems to change design a little each time. But these to together look so so different.

[TheChazas]

I wonder why reviewers never mention or drive MK4 GTI 25 Anniversary Edition which was actually real GTI, with proper suspension, gear box, interior and exterior, completely different car.
