The 30-70 test makes so much more sense for real world than 0-60. Very nice :)
100%
Just a quick note - 04:28 if you put the toggle switch for your electric mirrors towards the left mirror it will automatically show you the kerb in your left-hand door mirror when you put the car in reverse (great feature if you don't have the optional rear-view camera). It goes back to normal once you take the car out of reverse gear.
VAG thing so interesting that Tom didn’t realise this!
That’s pretty cool. Is that option on a polo 2019?
@@bravskeen If you have it you will find it in car/setup/mirrors & wipers/lowering in reverse. You can set it up where you want mirror to position when you put it into reverse.
Idk why but golfs are just my favourite car. Simplicity with style
My friend has 2017 gti looks brand new with only 55k miles. I wanna buy it from him what youbthink 1:42
@@user-xk2kv5jq8bdo it. Full service history and other important costs and you’re good
Great video. Perfectly summed up as a fantastic all round car that still puts a smile on your face come the weekend
13:59 that sounded like the first time you ever said that haha
You always have a great way of articulating the driving experience to viewers, I enjoy watching these drives even for cars I'd never look to buy
To dial out a lot of understeer fit a thicker rear sway bar. I did this and added chassis bracing and a stage 2 tune with ps4s tires. It's a mountain road weapon now.
Great review. I have the same on and I love this car. In South Africa, we don't have much snow which mean that we don't really need awd. We have the leather heated seats as standard. Mine got much louder over time but still wish it was louder. I extended the maintenance plan which give's me peace of mind. I changed the tyres to 235/45/19's Michelin Pilot sport 4s and fitted some cheap coilovers which improved handling by 10 folds. I might upgrade the coilovers soon, but the ride quality and handling over 200km/h is so much better.
Great review. This is my dream car. I will get it a few years.
One day i WILL have this car
I’m looking at picking one of these up soon, I don’t drive far to work or for shopping etc… will be nice to just go for a drive every weekend or so, I think it’ll be the perfect car for the money
cant go wrong with a gti
You got those options all wrong. heated seats are standard, pan roof is a hefty weight up top and will eventually cost a fortune to fix. What ye want is, DCC, DYNAUDIO & Brescia wheels.
Yes, 30-70 is much more real world driving. My old Saab is great in that spec.
Wait, why doesnt this have more views
Good to see the mpg getting up above 40 on the motorway
Guy was going less than 55 the whole time
i bought a 2020 mk7.5 gti performance and i love it 💕
Can i have a ride it’s my dream car
I got one of these a few months back. Great car! I wish it was slightly louder though! On another note, I have no idea how he got 40+ mpg lol
Hi mate love the videos. When doing the 30-70 could you please highlight the car in the video 😁. Cheers mate!
will do!
I recently brought the gti performance and I love it! 9 out of 10 just going to work and back so perfect for that but then when it's the weekend and I need to go somewhere I always go thr back country roads and so much fun! really is perfect all rounder
Shut up
@@ChrisplayThrough64 Jealous?
is it better than golf R?
@@ragulsudhakar5423 I honestly prefer my GTI over a R I test drove, it just feels more "snappy" and "fun". Yes the Golf R is faster, there's no arguing about that and it's AWD so there is never a traction issue, but I think having to actually drive and manage the wheel spin makes it more engaging. That's just my opinion but if you were to decide I would test drive both and see which you prefer.
It's great for a daily driver and very hard to find any real faults. Waking them up via tune and downpipe etc really makes it fun!
i’m torn on 2017 st3 focus st or this
Should i swap my bmw 420d GC for a 2016 VW gti auto?? 43mpg is not bad for petrol!😅
Hello mate your vids are amazing I love these pov can you please do a POV on a bmw 3 series estate
Thanks! will add to the list😀
@@ParagonCarsLondon thx mate
Interesting
This over a similar age Focus ST?
Thanks for the review, how would you compare this to the A3 2.0T?
hi mate. could you please do a review on the f30 330e, that car is the definition of a sleeper.
with a stage 1 map it’s certainly a beast
It really good but if i could hear the car sound not you talking it would have been perfect ❤
please can you do a video on a 2019-2023 polo gti+ not sure whether to get one of these gti performances or polo gti + as prices are quite similar ? thanks!
I'd get the gti performance, much more car for the money.
can you review hyundai i30n or i20n ? i really want to see those compared to the gti or the cupra. Thank you
They're hard to come by but yeah would love to review one of those.
this makes me so excited to get my mk7 GTI, its a 14 plate but is there much difference between it and this one?
No digital dash is the main difference.
Does this have lane assist to keep you in lane on the motorway
it does but it bounces between lane markings rather than keeping you centered like audi's system does.
What is yhe moxed mpg like when trying to conserve fuel (notbin sport mode)? 40mpg?
about 45-50mpg
Heated seats come as standard.
Performance pack or not ? seems quite fast.
nope just standard. Surprisingly quick i know.
What’s the biggest difference? Performance comes with lsd?
@@footbollpro yeah a mechanical one and 15 more hp
Have you reviewed a polo gti on your channel?
Not yet, hopefully at some point.
my dream car, notice any jerkyness in traffic?
It's actually pretty smooth which is surprising for a dsg.
MY GTI has 47900 km and interior looks like a new one but this has 29700 km and looks like 200000 km wtf !!!👀
Much rather have the cupra 290
Really dont like the tartan interior looks like an old mans blanket.
