- Marty finally gets a Euro car. But after owning so many Subarus for so long, his erratic behaviour while on the AWD rebound is leading him to make some interesting choices, much to Moogs frustration....

I freaking love this intro, in my opinion it's the best one.
Streuth !!!
+Sth29Productions do you by any chance know the specific name of the song in the intro?
+Sth29Productions I think this year's one is the best.
I just click to :30 just to avoid it!
Moog - “Evos are mad, I’m gonna get one one day”. 6 years later RIP 2TWSTD
i have never own or drove a Polo but i have had golfs, GTI, TDI, and an R everyone gives me that feeling that says drive me drive me hard.
You guys may of liked my high school auto class project car I built. It was an 1986 Chevy Chevette with a 4.3L V6 plus 100hp NOS shot. Mostly for straight line wheelies but was fun as hell bc I hid everything for a total sleeper. Unless you were directly behind me where you could see the wide tires you had no clue it could drop a 10sec quarter.
Cool
+Zed orda u in the states?
Aussie Echidna Yes I am just outside Detroit.
ahh ok yeah in australia we dont have classes like that :P
Highschool in the united states is grade 9-12, where as for us its 7-10, if you took an auto course in college down here you would likely be doing similar things.
We're happy to wait as long as it takes us to make a mad episode.
Thats why i love this show, these guys are real auto enthusiasts. They are real enthusiasts not a brand lover!
10 years later, and I finally got to watching this channel more. Marty's review gave me UK Top Gear vibes
It's our hobby and passion man. Not a job. These videos are made in spare time and weekends outside of normal unrelated full time jobs. Mad.
Wow. He only owned that car for 10 minutes.
Could've just got an older Golf with a VR6? :)
this is a nice transition car from the usual japanese cars you guys do, i love my Subaru however the R32 and GTi models are pretty damn good aswell as the BMW M1 series. good work lads
just found this gold! More VW/Audi average joe videos please :)
I've got a VW Polo 1.4 for a runaround, blagged for £250 as it needs a new gearbox.
The exhaust sounds amazing!
Some people just don't want a nice car. My friend goes from junk car to junk car every other month. I don't understand why he doesn't just get something he can be proud of and would actually drive for more than a few months
***** Toyota? Honda? Lol...
I owned a toyota product for years and never had an issue. I have a bmw now- keeping my fingers crossed lol
Justin Buice That's cool and good for you, but Dick was saying VW's are junk and Toyota/Honda are the way to go. Of course Toyota's have been riddled with recalls and defects in the last 10 years and in the 90's and early 00's, Honda's had a terrible reputation. It's only lately they've picked up.
VW make some cracking engines. It's just about buying the right one.
***** Um...No, they're really not. VW's had some bad electrical years with certain models, and the MKIII cars were just plain bad even when they had the sweeter then sweet VR6 (horrid weight dist.), but overall, esp. earlier VW's are very good cars. Sorry, I'm a total Toyota nut (I'm currently building a KZN130 Hilux Surf in the US, I drive an 89 Hilux Surf with 320K miles on the original 22RE, and I've built more then a few VW's for street/track and Rally use so I know my way around them very well), but the iron-block 4-cylinder engine the VW's are so famous for is as bombproof as the 22RE is. The interiors of old and Toyotas and Hondas fall apart every bit as badly as VW's (sometimes worse), but the older MKI&II cars like I build actually hold up better and IMO they still look every bit as great as they did new. Plus Honda and Toyota haven't made a modern car that can directly compete with the VW's for a LONG time (not to mention that modern Civics might just be the ugliest things ever inside and out, same with most modern Toyotas BRZ/FRS excluded). The S2000 was the only Honda outside of an NSX to ever be worth getting excited about about and they're not exactly a direct competitor for the Golf in any respect. While Toyota has some neat old cars like AE86's and ST's etc. (the last Celica was slow and overweight and the Civic SI has always been WAY too short on torque to keep up on the street) again they're not exactly comparable chassis. Most of the REALLY fun Toyotas are either AWD or RWD and nearly mythical in terms of finding one depending on where you live (cars like the Supra, AE86 and STXX(X) Cellica All-Tracs). With the segment topping DSG (and a very high-end standard manual), interior trim levels and fit/finish quality not seen in average tuner cars, and the simply amazing AE888 4cyl in the current GTi/Polo WRC and upcoming cars like the Polo R (I would KILL to get one of those little WRC homologation cars here in the US), Audi S1 and the Golf Evo R, VW will be staying at the top of the pile for some time to come (they already have the fastest lineage in that the Seat and Skodas are all just VW MBQ chassis underneath). Modern VW's are also notoriously easy to screw with, and a simple ECU re-flash nets some serious results vs the JDM stuff that is getting harder and harder to crack into (by design) and tweak. VW had some bad years, Honda and Toyota have too... it happens, but VW's are not, in any respect, "junk"...
I've owned many cars before and I learned one thing; I will never love a car I bought for 15K as much as a car I bought for 3K and invested money, hard work, and time in.
no new episodes in 7 months?? wtfffff
theres a different channel
what izzit? the new channel.. im missing a lot in 7 months
What? I can see about 25 videos they've made since 7 months ago.
ihateleechess yeah idk how to explain it other than maybe they had the setting active that didnt allow all their videos to be viewed in my region at the time i posted that (america). When i looked at their uploads (sorted newest first), thir most recent video was from 7 months ago, and i must not have been the only one because i got a couple thumbs up and replies. My only guess is that they didnt make it available in all regions, but they have since changed it because i see all the videos you're talking about.
Bbfishman For some reason I also now cannot see any of those recent episodes
fucking youtube
Thanks for all that you do!!! I watch from the US and love it!!!
That speech after 9:00 - I just love it. I was never able to speak it out in public as I was always going to insult someone. Well said. Really well said.
When Marty and I were travelling around Japan, I was always trying to get him to eat Tofu cause he hates it. Eventually he made the shirt to annoy me. Maybe I need to make one that says "No Turd"
do it
Polo gti 9n3 are the best! So happy with mine... With Apr stage 1 tune it QUICK...love the car. And you don't need to change the stock exhaust of the car...it already sounds awesome!
I totally agree with Marty on the Polo... I had one myself, and I felt nothing.. I was a bit psyched the first week or so, but then it lost all it's magic.
I know how you feel, Marty. Most cars just don't do it for me, but my 1998 5 speed Volvo V70 T5 wagon gives me warm fuzzy feelings! It has tons of personality and I'm always looking for an excuse to drive it. Can't wait to see what you get! (A wagon, I hope!)
Marty and moog! you are better than top gear! awesome guys :)
That's kinda funny because I feel the same way about Japanese cars. There good cars don't get me wrong but there soulless econo boxes made from cheap plastics. German cars have soul, passion, heritage and history. I daily drive a 1989 Audi 200 and its unlike anything else out there and I love that.
+Guess who's back yeah I guess that's true about any new car really LOL
SAABs are awesome! I have a '97 9000 myself and it's so much fun to drive you actually want to keep driving after the 3 hours on highways I do twice every summer.
Mighty Car Mods The Polo R is what Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvila are driving in WRC. Its the 1.6L 4-Cyl with turbo at around 360hp
It hurt me when he said that about the gti
Ziv Naftali I cry everytime
Its all true though
@@pmm4177 is it though? Or are you just jumping on a band wagon like most dickheads in the car community that suck off one car/brand (skyline and supra fans who can’t afford them) and hate on everything else.
I've got a Polo Coupe', I love it!
im just waiting and waiting every day to see next episode i think im addicted to this show
Where can I find the episode that was promised about painting bog dent repairs?
The end of this episode totally tells me why Moog loves 2Sexy, he loves the Evo Stancer.
should get a mk2 gti... they are great
Do you guys have a video with any info about removing smaller dents? like door dings? my car is full of them :/ and I don't wanna pay a ton to get them out
Hey guys, can someone please tell me when the Sydney meet is? i can't seem to find it through the MCM Forum.
The part about the dead bird just cracked me up so bad i nearly pissed myself.
I'd love to see a BMW E30 or something similar sometime
Probably pretty rare in AUS
Yeah i live 35h flight away i can only predict
Still waiting for them to do up a e36 :/
Can somebody help me with a question. For his custom exhaust what is that muffler, he called it a "2 1/2 inch muffler". It is the one that in the middle of the exhaust.
where is a good website to find those?
Lagging the new vid is a great way to generate hits on your previous vid. Everytime we complain on this vid they get a new hit and get more insurance bucks and exhaust remotes. Love the vids!
"Evos are mad, I'm gonna get one some day"
Fast forward 7 years...
9:25 get an alfa romeo. I cant get out of one...
+Dazzmond Western Can you not get out of it because it broke down and now your stuck?
+Shabazz Hands no, im not fat like you so i can at least get out.
Woah, calling people fat is no way to make friends
+Shabazz Hands aww :(. lol
I've worked it out, you called me fat because you had no way to defend alfa romeo
Mighty Car Mods,have you got videos of the Mazda MX5 of work you done to soup it up like the Honda 2000?
This Should Be ON TV!
Shoulda got a r32
Still heavy shit.
chris martin you are stupid
Edgar Loya Nope, experience mate. R32 is a boring car as are all VWs.
chris martin AAAHAHA, know how I know you've never driven one?
Bryce Morey who would want to drive a "people's car" they are slow as fuck. Their turbos blow up more than bmw's and even more sadly audi's hahaha.
So at like 11:20 he says evos are mad.... But like... What about too sexy? He keeps craping on evos... lol
I'm guessing you're being sarcastic. ;)
Justin is one of those guys that buys a Lancer and puts an Evo bodykit on it then goes around telling everyone he has an Evo
Bruh... I drive a mazdaspeed6 which is AWD turbo. Just to piss you guys off i should put an Evo badge on it though.. Lol!
wow, no one cares
Justin Adams I miss mine 😢 timing chain snapped and fucked her hard
soo happy as soon as i saw the vw rims!!! good choice
What he said at 9:20 around there about it not making him want to drive it is like what Jeremy said about the R8, it's really good but it doesn't make you smile and took the ZR1(I think it was) over the R8 cause it was more fun. Awesome vid (:
Buy Alfa Romeo, u will fell soul and u will know that car have heart!
No Soul... here is answer
Ooooooo they changed the title of the video.. must be very close to uploading the new episode!! CANT WAIT GOD DAMN IT
i drive an 89 vauxhall nova, the suspension is bouncier than a trampoline, the fuel gauge works when it wants to and its got plenty of rattles and creaks. but everytime i get in it, i fall in love with it a little bit more. it may not be the quickest or comfiest, but i wouldnt trade it for anything.
Im guessing 218 people own vw polos
You should of get a BMW. Any BMW Marty, will make u want to drive it.
so true
the flange on that downpipe is definatly a 5 bolt t3/t4 style. finaly a big turbo
nice catch
Guys, Guys.... Just stop arguing and agree that the Hyundai Accent/Excel is the best car in existence, because it so obviously is.
AVENTADOR FTW LMAO
Wasee Alam lmao Lamborghini Slowventador, You need a Hyundai i10, thats real speed...
OnePointFour LOL i almost fell for the troll (YOU GOT NO FANS XD)
+OnePointFour. XD iknow a faster one volkswagen fox :p
Nah the reliant robin
U want VW what is fun to drive? Get the old Golf Mk2.
I know this will sound so stupid but im new to mcm forum and would like to start a thread or something where people respond in the what car should i buy section? i cant see anything to help you start a thread or message within it :( so frustrated please help!
cant wait til next video!!
"Stupidly huge engine" "1.8l"
Lol in America that's small as fuck.
nope, its actually powerful
and fuel economic compared to your inefficient (sometimes like for example, pickup trucks) engines that are absurdly high in compression. I know the reason and its because they want raw power, rather than forced induction, but still, superchargers are forced induction. an example to efficiency is a Land Rover Defender 3.5 litre engine (top of the range and most powerful vs a Ford F-150 Wildtrak around 5 litres to 6 litres)

Thanks for your youtube essay, however I was already aware of ALL of that. I was just making a point that engines here on average are bigger. I didn't imply anything else.
A polo? That's so lame, pick a good one like Moog suggested
a real fan
Had a 1998 polo, was awesome.
that's exactly why I don't like volkswagens I find them to be boring
+suzukirm250rider1 It's just a basic car :D
But you can do so many things with them so if you don't like something you can just change it
Reckless entertainment as a Volkswagen owner I don’t understand how you could find a car with such unpredictable reliability boring.
Well, you can have something as reliable as a VW AND way less boring to drive.
I switched cars with my mother about a year ago: She wanted a newer car with better gadgets and I HATED my 2011 Golf 6 with all bells and whistles. There is just no emotion. VW dulled it down so much it is almost impressive.
So I took my mom's 2003 Mazda 3 instead which is so much more engaging to drive: The steering is way better, it has a much more responsive and better gripping front (the Golf 6 had enormous under-steer) and I switched back from a TSI to a NA engine which I like more anyway.
Both of them are far from fast (1.2 TSI 6-speed manual with 105 hp vs. 1.6 5-speed with 105 hp) and with my driving profile the Mazda uses about 20% more fuel. But I don't care.
It now has 200k km on the clock (the Golf only had like 90k km when I switched) and I never had any problems apart from a dead battery. I had to change a few service parts (water pump, spark plugs, radiator fan) but it is reasonably easy to do yourself. The clutch will have to be changed soon. That will be a big one.
I would do it again in a heartbeat!
In France, if you have a Polo, you lose your credibility and look like a dumb... :/
And most euro hatchbacks are boring (like Clio, Mégane, Corsa, 208, 308 and more) ; a japanese hatch is MUCH more fun !
If you are French you already lose your credibility, sorry dude...
iAMaReaperGotprobZ I don't want to be nasty but go to hell.
If you drive a polo without being a girl, you are a tool in every country, including Germany.
Agreed! My 08 9-3 aero is sooooo much fun to drive.
that MK5 polo gti is an awesome little car...sadly i totaled mine 4years ago...awesome car marty...
You didn't feel anything because you bought the wrong Euro, lol. Should have bought a BMW.
bmw is a turd
Typical of a german car... Specced well, good on paper... Has no heart. German cars generally lack any type of soul
Matt G I disagree, in my most German cars have some soul. I have a 2004 Jetta wagon and boy let me tell you, that 2.0 115bhp car is more fun to drive than a lot of other cars I've driven
Wait... So a low end golf is the same as a higher end saloon car? You sir are an idiot. And yes, driven many many BMW's and Mercs, and only the M or AMG models are worth even pissing on. The rest are nothing but grampa mobiles
In my opinion VW's (and Audi's by default) are as bland as eating wallpaper paste. Those mk4 Jetta's were not very good when you compare them to a similar year and spec ford or mazda or even a european car.
who was the fool who brought up a merc BMW or porsche? This whole vid is about a cheap hatchback, which germans do all the same. Small, grey, boring. If you want to talk about higher spec mid range saloon cars, there are many more exciting vehicles out there than those german boxes. Case in point, german cars for the most part have no soul, no feel, no passion. They are machines and that is it.
If you're wanting non AMG or M spec... Then a Ford fusion / mondeo sport, mazda 6 mps, honda accord sport, alfa guilietta, Jag XF and XE. Maybe a more direct comparison is an opel / vauxhall insignia vs a ford mondeo / fusion vs mazda 6. By miles and miles the ford and mazda are more dynamic and a more exhilerating drive, which none of the big 3 (merc bmw and audi) can match for the price. If you are talking M or AMG or S-line spec... Then you're looking at the XFR, lexus ISF, alfa gulietta quadrofoglio, maserati quatroporte etc. I would say all of those are more exhilarating than the equivalent merc or BM, except maybe the lexus as those can be pretty hit or miss
Man, that sounds awesome!
Is that the sound from Heroes of Might and Magic 3 at 11:42 ?
Reliable? VW lol, lay of the mushrooms buddy.
Im sorry I should of specified more. Im looking to build my own custom exhaust too and that muffler (not the varex) what are those type of mufflers called so I can buy my own. Like is it called a hidden muffler for example or something its general name. My last name is also Richards as well :-)
where can I find all the music I've heard in the video?
sometimes it's worth it on transverse mounted engines because of the way the exhaust sometimes needs to bend as the engine kicks a bit under torque it either tries to compress or stretch the exhaust pipe as opposed to rocking to one side as it would in a rear wheel drive car
Yeah! we need the new video! :)
does anyone have one of the xforce exhaust mufflers and lives in the UK and if where did you buy it web link please...:)
nothing like that deep euro exhaust sound :)
german is always the right choice. i had a bmw e46 first and just bought my other german car. an audi a6 3.0 v6 quattro. great cars, great show, cheers boys.
Electric windows don't work when you've driven into a ditch or canal, trapping the occupants. Keep the drivers window manual and automate the offside so you don't need to stretch. Driver's window, reach down and turn by hand.
Hey does anyone know the name of the song that start at about 3:40?
thanks
The Polo is a small car,the regular non-Gti models have 1.2/1.4l motors. So a 1.8 TURBO is a pretty big motor for this kind of car.
06 mkv gti with awe catback, koni coils, nuespeed chip and p-flo with staggered LM reps, short shifter, boost gauge and more. It's righteous with unicorn pwr! I think Marty needs a Trabant 601
if you dont like the car just ship it my way, and i can put it to use like getting to work and getting from point A to B, i dont mind Euro Cars and from the looks of it i feel like taking it for a ride.....love the vids, keep it up
we still waitin' on that episode man..
i cant wait till the 150th episode!!!!! I BET ITS GONNA BE MAAAAAD
you put the clips the wrong way around, you can see the stainless exhaust in the first ramp session with the polly bushes, the in the exhaust install u can see the old bushes .
had the same problem with the bushes with my r32, the suspension felt like it was like driving a horse driven carage. nasty. in the uk they get worn out quick due to the pesky tight roundabouts.
Moog said that he would get an EVO one day......and he did!!!! 11:15
I know exactly what Marty was talking about. I have a 90' Miata and a 13' KIA Rio5 and right now I'm upgrading the suspension on my Miata and I long for the day when I can drive it again
Thanks Lextube :D
You guys rock love your work more more more :)
What's the song that plays ant the end of the vid
Whats the song in the background? thanks
Whats with the number plates changing on the Polo nearly every scene?
I'm going mental waiting for the next MAAAD MCM vid
I drive a 2007 suzuki swift sport, it's the right combo between a good first car (I'm 17), has nice features and everything apart from the body and engine block is so cheap you don't have to think twice about fiddling with it
ya know I was just test driving a car and I told the salesman at the dealership that I hated driving it cause it was too luxury. he was floored, had no idea what I meant. said it was preposterous and everyone wants luxurious cars
a car thats too comfy isnt fun to drive. its not engaging at all. flaws give it character. part of why I love MINI Coopers so much. theyre like high end go karts
I have a 2004 BMW 325i and it is the best car I have ever owned! As long as you change the oil and other regular maintenance, it will go forever no problem (seen same car go over 500 000 miles with just a transmission, pumps, bushings and belts replaced). Plus the car has a "soul", RWD straight 6 engine, and all the comfy stuff you can think of. Only setback is that they are extremely hard to find with a standard gear box(in the US that is). I respect these guys but owning a BMW=loads of fun.
picking up 9n3 1.2 new grill and alloys and it will look the same so fresh
does anybody know where i can get a MCM ball cap from
It's just stupid how much I wan't to see a dude's car which I only know from the internet.
You guys are awesome.
where are you guys from australia? sydney?
