Just a linguist quibble. It can’t be 100% stock AND better than new. If it’s 100% stock than NO changes would be allowed. “Better” (different) would mean a change. Thus, not 100% stock. And what the heck is a “high rise carburetor?”

Love my 2006 best drive ever

Phenomenal video. Best exhaust I've heard yet.

You keep saying the same thing over and over.

You say “mid-40s mpg on highway”. I get mid-50s with my 2014 Beetle TDI.

Is that color granada gold or seirra fawn???

03 Z71 Suburban. Picked it up for $3000. Best vehicle I have ever owned. Have 242,000 miles on it now. I have probably put another $4000 into it over 3 years. Rear main engine seal, oil pan, and oil pickup tube o-ring replaced. Oil pressure up full now, no leaks. Replaced seals at rear of tranny and transfer case. Normal maintenance, plugs wires, brakes, tires. Replaced a few window motors and recovered front seats. Runs like a dream. When you calculate the costs of a new truck, you are in at $1000-$1500 per month for payments, insurance and maintenance. These 2000-2006 Chevys are a bargain if you shop carefully and find a decently maintained one.

Mk3 tdis were offered for the 97 and 98 model year for the Jetta

No butterfly seats

Thanks, I'm a 51 year old woman and you made this very easy to do, thanks. Now to learn how to put the window back in it's slot.

Yeah. I regret selling my 2003 1/2 Suburban. I’m looking again for one. Great video. I’ll be back to watch your progress. Liked and Suburbaned. 3 years ago. WOW. How’s it running?

Want want so bad but its a money pit any way you do it.

It’s most likely the intake manifold gaskets. They will cause a vacuum leak.

You are confusing quality and reliability. They are not always the same thing. You can have good quality (interior, plastic, paint, etc) with not great reliability (DRC) and vice versa.

big hit in depreciation

Pretty strange to hear that an audi steering is comunicative

Great review, very thorough!

To be competitive in the class do most guys run the soft top nd’s?

I just bought a 2003 Suburban 1500 for $1000. 280,000. Runs great.

Is the GT the only hard top version?

It's absolutely beautiful and I would take it in a heartbeat however there are some aspects that are not correct. The Headlight bezels and grill extensions are not black matching to the SS grill. The blackout of your grill is correct as the reproductions are being manufactured correctly but notice that the upper and lower black out is not matching your headlight bezels and grill extensions. There is a reason for this but will take too much to explain here. The radiator does not appear to be a Harrison. An original shifter ball is solid chrome, you can see this is factory brochures for validation. Factory original hood bumpers on the fenders are much thicker than the reproductions. I know because I has many original unmolested 67's and I have purchased NOS ones as well. The cowl plate should be painted, not natural.

and yet in every track anywhere the type R is somehow faster than the N and its not even close. this driver error. I own a m2c so i have no dog in this but seriously tho - driver error.

Good job

As a European, it was quite amusing to watch you test this car in particular on almost perfectly straight roads.

I know I’m 4 years late but your wagon is CLEAN. I have a 14 6 speed sportwagen TDI and I love it.

this is what i was exactly looking for in a review of the veloster N against the Type Rs. I have seen your miata videos but never realized you made this and am glad i finally found it after watching majority of the typical car reviews on the veloster N. What a way to review and showcase the car with just barebone modification incredible driving!

Do you still have your suburban

Great video! Thanks for the detail

It’s been 2yrs and nothing from Mark. Did he move to another channel or planet?

Coker Tires have Bias- Ply Radial Tires

The vehicle is great looking and the utility is great. Audi interiors are beautiful. The only problem is the engine. This vehicle like many Volkswagen vehicles has direct injection which regularly needs the intake and valves cleaned to remove carbon buildup. Why couldn't Volkswagen design an engine with both port and direct injection that would eliminate the carbon buildup problem? Toyota figured that out a long time ago. I believe this vehicle is made in Germany but a lot of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles are made in other countries like Slovakia, Russia, and Mexico. So do some research before you buy a Volkswagen or Audi to see where it is made.

It's funny to hear people referencing the pandemic or lockdown in videos. It really makes it seem odd years in the future.

Wow, awesome review ! unfortunate it has such low visibility :( great car too and I for one totally agree on the SUV vs wagon true usability

Neat... how did u setup ur miata?

Hello sir, can you get me one please?

You think that one’s fast with lots of torque … You should have tried the 3.0 TDI version. That’ll blow your mind by comparison (it’s what I currently have) 👍

You should never use boost below 3k RPM’s. 👍🏼

How to check mine model i have same 2014 jetta hybrid but i dont know its top of line or base . Do you know where i can check that

Excellent and informative video. I drive Ford Focus Mk3 150 HP 6 speed manual and I'm in love with it. Ford Focus Mk3 or Mk3.5 is the best car for me out there. I am certainly looking for an ST to own besides my current Focus.

Any heat cycling or pre scrubbed tires in this test? Either of them like more or less pressure than the other?

I love my 8.1 burban. Tows like a dream or can camp inside when I want. Does everything. Keep oil in these engines and they won’t die, plus the 6.0.

Rear coil springs on the 1500?

Just picked one of these up. Great video. Thank you.

Had an idea to switch from 2008 Merc C-class to this Golf, till I had a test drive this morning. Tiny, litle car, not very comfortable. Did not like it.

I just bought a 2014 TDI golf hatchback waggon 2 L turbo diesel 106,000 km the thing we’ll smoke the tires nice little car never thought I’d have a Volkswagen

Thank you. Your video was very helpful!

“ Amazing car, excellent handling…I give a 7 of a 10 “😂

Does the front stage sound full enough and detailed? Could it use maybe a 2nd tweeter up higher?

Why kind of bit did you use in the Dremel to cut the plastic piece on the tweeter? Thanks for the great video. My best friend just gave his mint 2002 Suburban 1500 LT. Suburban doesn’t have a scratch on it and the leather front seats he redid so the interior is mint. Only thing is I’m not into red for cars and wish mine was white like yours. I’m sure all the surrounds are bad on all the speakers like yours because it sounds terrible. So I’m putting in some CT Sounds Meso 6.5 2 way components. Wish I would have bought the 3 ways instead but I think I’ll add an extra small driver to make it a 3 way but need to figure out it’s seperate crossover so if you or any views have some ideas on crossing over say a 3-1/2” drive please reply. I’ve always repaired my own cars but haven’t done much stereo electronics other than adding speakers to factory locations. I have almost 100 sq ft of Fat Mat so I’ll do the doors because in our Camry it really made a big difference and so nice how it dampens road noise also. For amps I have several I bought that are NOS from the company that made the Poweramper amps before they went out of business years ago that are SQ amps. Bought a couple EQ’s and couple pair of 5-1/2” Poweramper component speakers which I’ll probably install in my wife’s Camry or Odyssey van.

So how can you ever remove the door card without yanking the wiring from the tweeter to the crossover in your door without having to cut the tweeter wires?
