Enjoyed your review. As an owner of a 2018 SE - my second GTI (2003 20th AE) I wish you spent a little time on the differences from previous years. There aren't many but the new wheels standard on the Autobahn for 2021 are much lighter than previous years as well as the S/SE trim wheels. Also I believe the Autobahn has adaptive cruise control, and upgraded audio. I mention those couple things because they're the few things I kinda wish mine had. I already ordered the new wheels. I'll live w/o the other stuff. Really fun car, but also practical and subtle nice looks.
You’re spot on, and those Belevedere wheels make such a nice difference, as lightweight wheels usually do! I bought a used set for my 18 Autobahn, and they are a big improvement over stock in every way. I plan to keep them for a Mk8!
I love them because young and old can drive them, it’s not boy racer unless you mod them that way but from the factory it’s a very practical fun vehicle for everyday, I’m enjoying my 2020 SE in dark iron Blu 👍🏾🙂
I bought a black mk7 s the first year of its release then went eco with the Bmw i3 Rex and now just got this white mk7.5 autobahn same configuration as shown and the leap from the 7 s is astonishing. Literally drove it off the lot today. Not much to say other than it’s beautiful. Elegant unassuming design styling with all the little extravagances where you want and none where not necessary. That little added spoiler wing the wheels the infotainment screen all exceed expectation. driving feel is impeccable. Also a thing I loved on my i3 was the touch the handle to unlock and lock and it’s even better on this. Something about the Vw white is it’s so milky bright white. Very very glad I didn’t get the Tesla model y. It’s good to back with the golf ball stick. So fun so sensible so gti
Spectacular review; but you forgot one thing... Night blue is always best blue. 😤 Sidebar I’m actually considering upgrading from my S to an Autobahn possibly SE. I don’t wanna give up the plaid seats but I can always get the middle leather portion reupholstered.
That Manual Transmission Is Gonna Stir Your Guts Up, But The DSG Is My Favorite, Because It Shifts Much Better.But That Golf GTI With The DSG Is My Favorite Car.
I need a daily vw south town inventory on gti is very good, not a lot of GLi jetta. Not a lot of Passat R Wish they have all of them to test drive on the spot
So all cars vw makes are flaky? How many cars do they make per year?, a lot I would imagine (between all vag group cars). They've been manufacturing cars for eons. Your statement isn't accurate
Stop beating on brand new cars with 10 miles that a costumer with no clue how you beat on it will buy. Remember you should wait the 500 miles before you do any Spirited Drive
Mr. Patel, are you in India? Last time I was there on a business, a guy at the office told me his internet needs to dial up and rev match to get 68 kbps. "Your video only goes up till 480p the quality tf?" things have improved. 👌Now, you can watch it in 480p. India is fast improving.
Excellent review. Im over a year in with my 2019 Autobahn manual. It's 10/10 every single time.
The GTI was my first fun car. I had 92 GTI and it was a blast. I've been looking at getting another. Good info

Nice sporty car
Hi
@@Depressedwarriorsfan6238 hello
Volkswagen did a beautiful job on this car it's cute gulf

I like the Plaid seats better than the leather to be honest. Going to get a 2020 GTI in 2 years since it'll be way cheaper than buying new.
Love the GTI!!😎👍🏼
first 15 seconds in the video and I knew he was in Utah XD

Sup Ben. My absolute all time favorite hot hatch especially in red ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤.
THIS IS GOOD
Hi - I did not watch the video yet - but would you know where this car was actually made ? Germany or Mexico. Thanks
Mexico
I need a daily vw south town inventory on gti is very good, not a lot of GLi jetta. Not a lot of Passat R
Wish they have all of them to test drive on the spot
More VW car review Ben.
I think so too!!
Thanks for the review!!
Love the GTI...VW
Prices have really spiked recently - I bought my 2016 Golf R (also manual) new for $36,555 which was sticker price at the time.
im considering a gti se or a wrx can someone with experience with the 2 give me your opinion? i owned a mk7 tdi as my last car
Nice review.... but the humming is sometimes a bit annoying ☹️. I guess it’s due to the high tension lines....
Yeah they are all over sadly
Anyone know if that rearview mirror has an auto-dimming feature? My 2012 Autobahn didn't have it- the only thing that car lacked.
It does.
Finally Honda and Toyota true competition
:o beautiful!!
thats a mark7 not the new 2021 GTI mark8 no?
Still no digital dash in 2021? I have a 2017 that that has it. Or is it a spec option where you are?
It is an upgrade option for about $1500
Mk7 GTIs never got them in the US unfortunately, only the face-lifted Golf R did.
Gorgeous car, it’s too bad VW reliability isn’t great. Must sell once the warranty expires or it will become a money pit.

this car looks ancient
It's a 4 year old design. The new generation is out now.
Can you do a Ford transit next???
If I can find a 2021
Pristine Edge
For 38k I’m getting a type r or Camaro
Will you compare this to a civic si?
I want to review a civic si
And Subaru WRX
How much for wheels and tires
WTF is blippable?
Good question. I've goodled it etc and can't find anything.

Your video only goes up till 480p the quality tf?
Should be 1080p

Yuck, it's a 4 door though...
The 4 door is what makes them so usable and all arounders
@@eklektikTechno I'm a single guy, I'd never use the rear doors. They're just dead weight.
@@SpecialEDy same 😂 I wish they continued the coupes, 2017 gti seems to be the last of the 2 door gti
