    That volume knob might be annoying, but I could see it being beneficial also, as you can judge where the volume is by where the power icon is pointing too.

      In theory that would be fine, but since it can turn a full 360 degrees, you can never actually be sure of the position unless you meticulously keep track of it

    To avoid the power button being off-centered when changing the volume, I just turned the volume all the way down whilst aligning the power button to its proper position, and then only use the steering wheel control for the volume. Something that you shouldn’t have to do, but it drives me crazy seeing the power button icon lopsided

    GLIs are underrated. Everyone knows the GTI (and pays for the privilege of buying one) but sometimes you want a trunk. The DSG is a fantastic transmission.

    • @xFactoryUSA

      It just DOES NOT let you properly get on it, intrusive traction control further holds back the power at ALL times

    And The MK8 GTI/Golf R wins in the back with air vents and 2 USB-C ports. The Golf R adds a third zone with rear HVAC controls. With 35 inches legroom and 41 inches headroom the GTI is quite comfortable and better than most called sport sedans.

    Just picked up a 23 GLI Autobahn. It’s the best car I’ve owned so far. It runs like an economy car until you decide to let it rip. Only downside is that you can tell the ECU software is holding the car back from its full potential. A stage 1 tune should take care of that issue.

    5:17 what I do in my Beetle that has the same problem is physically turn knob when the car/radio is off so it doesn't actually change the volume, so I can get it back to center. I agree it's annoying when it's not centered correctly!

    I have a 2024 GLI 40th Anniversary Edition. Thank you for calling out the power/volume knob! Also: because of the detents, the power symbol can never be perfectly straight up, but rather about two degrees off center either way. My OCD is most displeased.

    My wife's Challenger has 190k miles on it so we have definitely started looking at new cars for her. I'm an N fan as I had a Veloster N before so the redesigned Elantra N is definitely first choice, but the more I look at the Jetta GLIs the more I like them. I was just telling my father in law yesterday how crazy these prices are. Back in 2013 I bought my Speed3 fully loaded for 24k. If it existed today it'd easily be 36-37k.

    • @Alex-yj9xl
      @Alex-yj9xl 4 месяца назад +1

      You’re lucky your parents are buying you a car at all - tbh an 08 accord is pretty decent. And from the looks of it it sounds like they’re paying for your insurance too which if so is amazing. I’m going to have to go work like 18hrs a week at a crappy job to pay for the gas, insurance, (very expensive in CA), maintenance, reg, and paying for the $3k car itself.
