Why you don't race the 300 SRT ?
Why would I buy merch for a car review channel?
You can also install ac cooled seats into that mk7. Could make for a throwback mcm episode like the good ‘ol days…Think about it 😉
Why you need awd in australia.. i get it here in Quebec cause we have real winter but in australia ??? Why pay more ?? 💯
Now that you have changed to the Golf Channel on youtube... can you get a Golf Country and do a offroad episode?
Love how the boys remain extremely frugal despite their success. Part of the appeal of MCM is the relatability. No wide body Lambos in sight 😂
I mean isn’t the price of a run rate golf the same as a wide bodied Lambo in Aus? But totally agree.
93k for a golf ? Wouldn’t say that’s extremely frugal haha. So happy for the them though they are living the dream
That's what I am thinking too. Was a quirky auto mod channel years ago now its like a legit apparently well funded RUclips show.
Great guys!
Leave that to the Americans😁 They get a little successful and go straight to supercars🤣
SO stoked on this episode because I literally just bought a 2019 GTI Rabbit edition in white and I absolutely love it!! Cheers boys!!
My all time favorite RUclipsrs now own my all time favorite car. I’m so happy and can’t wait for the GTI mods!
Seeing Marty defending the honour of a Volkswagen Golf GTI is the absolute pinacle
For the price of the 7.5gti you can buy a Cupra 5F modify it and really slay the 8R.
but a cupra is a golf with a seat badge on it
@@zulous Exactly, same car but cheaper.
@@zulous isn't that the point?
@@Researcher83 It has the R engine and the RS3 full bushings. It s like a golf gti clubsport but way cheaper and more capable.
@@Researcher83 except people only see the badge and not the what the car is
Love the fact that Marty brought a mk7.5 GTI ❤
Great to see Marty join the dark side and embrace the VAG. But you're both wrong about one thing, the best Golf is a Mk3 Seat Leon Cupra 😜 OK I may be a bit biased but really looking forward to this series since it'll all be aplicable to my cupra 😂
Marty switched to the darkside
Keen to know where all the mk7.5 gti’s are? The cheapest one on the internet currently is 30k (30-35k seems to be the cheap end) not 15!? I would buy one right now for 15k!
What keeps me coming back to these guys is that once they blew up, they didn’t jump to Lamborghinis and Maseratis like everyone else.
Exactly this. The older, weirder and ..smaller.. the more fun we're having!
How much $ you think 1m view on RUclips does? I understand they have sponsorships but they would be on Ferraris if they could trust me 🤣
They have jumped on Lotus before 😜 but that doesn't matter. As long as they keep doing what they enjoy, I probably keep watching.
@@Grnbaracuda even then lotus feels like the nugget of the supercar world so I’d give them that
@@JA-lg3tl Merch, they are actual mechanics, they own shops + assets, etc.
11:58 PREACH Moog! 100% agree with you and so glad it was said, this video should be a disclaimer on every sale of a shit crackle tune. Love you guys!
I needed to hear it lol. Pop tune is not going back
Amen
I'm so glad it came up and he just let loose on it. I'm going to have to send this clip to anyone who defends a crackle tune.
As a vw tech I hate cars coming in with pop and crackle tunes... no resonator droning everywhere...yuck.. give me a clean borla exhaust and a proper tune anyday.
No pop tunes are so annoying, but I can't Hate on someone that likes them it's thier car I guess but I won't do it , he'll I started out no cat straight pipe sounded like crap now hf cat and dual mufflers
Boys. You keep driving past my place. Come in for a beverage
The foot edit thing will NEVER get old, bloody piss myself every time, without fail. Cheers lads
marty winding moog up always epic love the chemistry you guys have.
He's so easy to wind up despite spending 90% of his time doing the same to Martin, it's amazing
Honestly, the Mark 7 and 7.5 Golf GTIs are great value for a very practical and fun car.
Yeah if you like dealing with early DSG issues.
@@weseethetruth158 that’s bs
@@cihans4923 yeah sure I'm just a VW group certified mechanic what do I know...🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
@@weseethetruth158i have a golf 7 with dsg and 265k km never had an issue 🤷♂️
@@DISPIQERI you're either lying or should contact the VAG offices to be celebrated.
If it was really about purity for Marty he would have bought a manual!
That's where the mods would come into play, no way it's going to be auto forever.
@@MarcSola7 I wonder if they’re planning on turning the mk7.5 into an awd to see how much cheaper they can copy the mk8 performance. That would be pretty cool.
@@samsonian it wouldnt marty literally said its always been a front wheel drive performance car
Yep and dodged the dsg issues
@@MarcSola7 it's a dsg so I'm assuming it wont change
I HAVE NEVER seen Moogs brain work so hard as it did looking at Marty during that intro 10/10 would watch again!
Marty's tongue out blinking eye face is disturbing. More please.
id like to see a volvo make it to the channel, maybe a V70R/S60R ... something different than the regular vag cars
Fuck that- Volvo 260!!!
Volvo 240 would be nice 😂 Mighty Brick Mods
@@MrBrooksie97 Nissan 240 vs Volvo 240
Would love a C30 T5
pfff, volvo has been taken over by drifters and been trashed in sweden and scandinavia by the inbreds in the country side.
Get an Alfa or something instead ;)
Why not a Stinger or an N? A fiesta ST? A Skoda VRS wagon? Cmon boys - try something different!!!
Due to fly to Poland in the early hours of the morning and struggling to find content for the plane! MCM comes through once again! Cheers boys 🙂
are you bringing the wock
@@vman1011able It's already there
Too bad you blokes don't get the best Golf R, which is the manual Mk8.
Today I test drove both a DSG and a manual, and sure the DSG is quick, but it's so incredibly boring compared to the manual, no driver engagement or involvement or fun.
Subie till I die but recently I found myself looking at either a Toyota Chaser or a Nissan Stagea, I would love a double unicorn R34 front end like mechanical Stiggs
Too many newer cars lately were are the nuggets
"Understanding is probably the most important thing really, so you can have an informed opinion." Good life lesson there.
I love the Marty gets to the heart of the matter of the HVAC issues. Moog says that people who actually own a Mk8 have gotten used to the new interface and it doesn't bother them. But the reality is that whether used to it or not, it's objectively worse. It introduces more actions to do the same things and removes your attention from the road to do it, making it less safe and more cumbersome. I'm glad VW announced they will go back to steering wheel buttons. Now do the same for the environment controls. I don't know if I agree that the Mk7 GTI is overall the better car, but it's definitely the one I'd rather be in right now.
I'm in Team Marty. I'd be a Mk I camp if there was one.
You might have to settle for Mk2 camp, Mk1 GTI's were never sold here so the dozen or so cars that are on our shores are worth more than Martys 7.5
14:58 How bad ass is that cop car!!
Yeah, they really fill your rear screen with lights and noise. They're not bad ass at that point.
Would have been nice to see a old vs new series. Was hoping Marty had purchased a vr6 of some sort like a mk4 and then did a turbo build and put them to the test
I was fuckin sure he’d poached a vr6. Or at least a r32
R32s are £15k in the UK and we've got tons of them, probably more expensive than a mk8 over there
But the vr6 is a heavy pig.
@@foreverjim5240 Exactly, as cool as a VR6 is , if you want to turbo one of them you'll be spending a minimum of 20-25k to have it done right , that is the same price in the UK, Canada or the US, they are not simply off the shelf parts , talk to any Vag specialist and they'll tell you to get a GTI Mark 5 or newer, I have had a series of Mk iv Golfs and the newer ones are cheaper and easier to mod and get big HP out of them
@@99unclebob You don't want to turbo a VR6 anyway. You want to super charge it to keep the responsiveness and the sound. I can't believe with all the VWs the guys have never done a VR6.
Edit: That sounded negative. What I meant was, I’m surprised getting a VR6 car didn’t happen already, just because the show has done a lot of VW stuff.
Even my Dacia Duster came with Bonnet struts from factory. And that car costs less than 20k Euros brand new. (Starting at 14k. With every option about 20k)
Sorry I have no interest in VAG cars, I think they are overpriced and boring
OH MY DAYS 2x Golf’s - starting to look like my garage boys!
“When you remove the emotion from the argument and just look at the facts and figures objectively” I don’t think I have ever herd something sound more like the manufacture talking. emotion is why we are all car nuts in the first place. Emotion is what drives us to modify cars. To buy old cars that are objectively worse then there newer counterparts and fix them up and modify them.
I was half expecting a Hyundai i30N lol
Holy shit I’m so excited to see what you do to the GTI. I’m looking at doing a 7.5 GTI or GLI, haven’t decided yet. But I’m pumped to see this.
I have a White Silver Metallic MK7.5 GTI myself since 2019 it is just awesome, put some 19' OZ Wheels, KW Suspension and a Remus Catback exhaust on👍🏻
@@kai_291 That sounds awesome. I know there’s more cool things available for the GTI but with the 2019 and newer GLI’s actually finally getting the same engine it really makes me want to give it some love. They have the potential to be highway weapons without looking like a ticket magnet, and that’s kind of what I’m gonna be going for.
@@HypnoticMilotic we don't get the Jetta's here in Germany so if you like to go for it, I bet they are awesome aswell
GTI if you don't have kids. GLI if you do.
Would love to see the guys in an i30N and see their thoughts
I'm about to become a Great Grandfather and I still enjoy every episode of MCM
And look forward to my weekly adventures, thumbs up boys
Congratulations my man! You must feel very proud
Congratulations from a fellow great grandfather from 🇬🇧
Cheers dits
I'm with Marty on this one. I could never spend so much on a car.
Loving the new addition Marty! 🤙🏼
Talking of Shannons Insurance plugs though, I have to give 2 thumbs up for Shannons. I have a modified turbo SAAB, and they were the only mob that would insure me. When some random lady ran up the back of me, not only did Shannons have my car fixed within a week, they also organised an uber to pick me up from the repairer to take me to the rental car place for my new Kia rental (which Shannons also provided), while Saab got fixed. I had never experienced such excellent service.
Good to hear this, we’ve had good experiences too over the years
@@mightycarmods Can't go wrong with them hey. Cheers for the reply. Keen to see T&T3 this xmas. Take care fellas ✌🏻
Thanks for your positive feedback on your claims experience with us
@@ShannonsInsurance Hi! Was a pleasure to say so. I have my car and 2 motorcycles with you. Literally the best insurance company. Shannons insurance and their staff deserve the praise 💯
Do you like modifying your car?
In Serbia: ILLEGAL!
:(
as a white MK7.5 GTI owner i'm excited to see where this goes!
Ditto my dude.
So will all the Mk8 GTI owners and Skoda Octavia VRS MK4 owners as we got the same engine as the Mk7.5 in Australia with IS20 turbo.
Surprised but you guys have never once talked about the Fiesta ST or Focus ST. The performance of those cars are right there with other hot hatches.
Well, they had/have a Focus RS, anyway. Even went to the factory maybe a few years ago.
@@OllamhDrab True, but the STs are the similar story that the GTI has to the R. They are often not mentioned because of all the hype around the RS.
As an owner of one, the Fiesta ST is filled with the nuggety turbo fun that these blokes love
@@beaulunawolf1198 Well, here in the US we don't get the RS, or at least the latest versions, that I know of, so the ST is what we have 'instead.' I wonder if they're that common where both are available.
Moog has Rick rolled us again
Actually there are people getting 450bhp+ from the mk8 R with the stock turbo already.. People already started modding the crap out of mk8's..
I've had 8 VAG cars and the only car that would get me back in one is mk7/7.5 golf GTi. The R's are too pricey for what they are and I'd find something better for the money so that's a non starter for me.
The best GTi's in my opinion were MK1/2/5/7, the 8's are fugly and the inside like some sort of shit tablet shop.
Im very keen on the build on this MK7.5 GTI. I am lucky enough to have the same car, though in the USA the base model has different headlights and no LCD Dash its analog. I love my GTI, its the underdog, but surprises everyone. Just Love it!!
love you guys, just dont care about shopping cars. cant wait for the next mighty MOD
Renault Megane RS 250,265,275 > Golf GTI 1st off why is the megane better for one Looks better cheaper to buy has Brembo Brakes has Recaro Leather Seats which i must say are awesome and are known for being a track weapon on the nurburgring and any race track im just saying cause i own one. i have also drivin the golf GTI and was not a fan the meganes are so underrated.
Is anyone able to tell me why the GTI has GERMAN number plates? @mighty car mods
Why is the car only registered from may to August to drive? 😅
I’m so excited for this series. Currently in the market for a golf 7.5 GTI or R for a daily and it’s genuinely a harder decision than I expected
You'll get board of the R. 7.5 GTI Performance pack is what you want if you insist on wanting a VW. There is better value out there though if you go for a 5F Seat Leon Cupra facelift, arguably the car Volkswagen should of made and also the better car.
Great episode, really enjoyed it. Would you guys ever consider modding a Hyundai i30N?
Should’ve bought an edition 40😅 but yeah the 7.5 gti is a great choice. You guys should look into galano flex tunes for the gti
He could've got a manual with the performance pack then too! Ik someone with a manual 40th and it's an amazing car
@@tally5k339 that’s what I mean, would’ve been a great car for Marty haha. I’ve got one and it’s absolutely crazy
Probably wouldn't have been top of the 'sort by cheapest' list then....
@@ad_fletch true, but 40k is still cheaper than 80-90k 😂
How imaginative. No manual Trophy-R. No 140iM. Let's get another flappy paddle vacuum cleaner ;/
It's always fun watching you guys give and take shit back and forth, even when it's about some dumb modern like these VWs. I just don't get the appeal of cars like this off track, they're fast as hell but whenever I drive hot moderns on the street I just don't connect or feel much interest, maybe you have to have a couple of guys like the 2 of you riding along busting each others chops. Fun episode, "meh" car
I'd love to see you guys do a gtr or a skyline or supra or something big jdm I miss those times
Nah, it's been done to death. I wanna see them rocking a suzuki swift
@@coolkidscarclub hell yeah
Pretty much every other cartuber has you covered there.
Euros don't get as much love, especially VW. So it's a nice & fresh breath of air when it does happen.
@@Peylix see I live in the UK all I see is bmw seat and vw and stupid fiesta St's with pops and bangs
I'm a TDI guy but the golf is just so lovable. Perfect daily drivers all around.
Aye, I have a mk6 Tdi and it’s such a fun little touqie car
@@chucknorris2938 same here. I love my mk6 TDI unreasonably so
The TDI is dope. You can still tune those a bit. Not as well as the 2.0T, but enough for loads of fun while still retaining that amazing fuel economy. I was looking to get a TDI, then Dieselgate happened.
This fills me with happiness. As a fellow Golf driver, albeit a base model, and a mk 7.5 you will grow to love it.
That's like growing to love genital herpes. I guess some people like the itch.
the science is guys, every time you do a video where you 'find' a good little car and do some sick mods to it... the price on carsales goes up 50% immediately lol... Its YOU thats causing the price rises 🤣
After the GTI it would be interesting to see how far you could take a base Golf 1.4TSI.
I didn't like golfs until I bought one, and I changed my mind about them. They are brilliant cars 🤯
imagine how you would feel about other european cars as the vw is the entry point, european cars are really good but expensive daily drivers
@@alec5443 not in europe. cheap. lol but rs3 m140i or the pug gt are just as good. but generally speakin our european cars suck compared to the japanese hatches.
Some ricer tried to race my 18 GTI through a set of 3 roundabouts. That’s the first time I ever pushed it hard through turns. Incredible handling. Embarrassing for anything else
Agree, ended up with a GTD as my new E350 AMGline PP black edition Touring (stupid long name) was delayed...... I cancelled the Merc kept the GTD 4 years!!!! After 5 years.... I'm back in a Mk7 Golf R. I'm in love ❤️❤️❤️
@@kdotroy1 seat Leon cupra all day long
This is actually insane and i still don't want to believe it - mk8 is a huge step back.
I love the seats, but doesn’t everything else suck? Like don’t VW’s fall apart, because their crap made, throw away cars?
In South Africa that, in that condition it would've been sold for as a new second hand... The automotive industry is not really requalated people do cut cars in half and sell them to customers who don't even know that the car has crashed before.
I really love the Australia and America when it comes to car market and second hand car market.
I love my Mk7 for so many reasons - buttons included. I’m actually genuinely concerned I won’t like the MK8 R I have on order because the MK7 has been so good.
I’m just an old lady. But I honestly love the 8. All accept the seats that no longer have an adjustable head brace. And the plaid in the 7 is cuter.
As a golf GTI owner, I am very happy about this development.
The mk7.5 was my dream car in highschool, now my dad and I both own mk8s, so I'm really looking forward to content with both these cars!
The picture and comment doesn't go together lol... you were probably in high school before the mk1 was ever dreamed up.🤣🤣🤣
@@weseethetruth158 just started my 65th year of highschool! This is the year I graduate, I can tell already!
That highway patrol police car looks like it should be on a NASCAR track with numbers on the side!!
Im just going to say it.
Im sorry guys but....
Volkswagens are boring.
There i said it.
Its out.
Im sorry not sorry.
I owned a Mark 7 GTI. Unfortunately, had to get rid of it. I miss that thing. You two guys are and always will be the best. Thanks for all you do.
I was spoiled in the mk7.5. Crazy how much bang for buck you get. Electronic lsd, performance pack has bigger brakes, all this stuff comes stock. I chose the S trim for the same reason Marty did 😂 sunroof delete is the best and tartan cloth/plaid seats are so good.
One day we'll get the VR6 swapped Mk2 love we deserve.
How in the world can you get mk7.5 GTI for so cheap??? In the states your gonna pay out 24k+ for a nice one.
haldex is one of the worst if not the worst part time 4wd system to be marketted towards enthusiasts. if you don't mind fwd, go with gti. otherwise look elsewhere. none of the transverse platforms from vw and audi is worth your time if you care about handling.
As the owner of a MY13 mk6 golf GTi, the ECU and DSG Remap is game changing. The gear shift is so fast.
The jump between my old MK5 and my recent 7.5 was absolutely remarkable. On an ‘08 2.0 FSI, with an IC, downpipe, full host of bolt-ons and full software (ECU/TCU) upgrade, I was still 30-40hp below what my new 7.5 GTI can achieve with a simple Stage 1 remap. Couldn’t love it more.
STOP IT! I don't need your "help" trying to justify to my wife how much better for the planet it would be if I "just" had a 300bhp GTi (with remapped DSG, 'cos it would be rude not to...)
@@QuarkGluonSpasma the jump must be unreal. The mk5 was prone to gear box issues from what I read…?
@@thomascarruthers4397 Indeed, my particular model year had a warranty extension up to 100k miles on the mechatronic units in the DSGs. I was fortunate to avoid any such issues, other than the beginnings of some clutch slippage around the time I eventually parted with the car, but at that point there was 175k miles on the car (around 120k after tuning/upgrading). But, yes, the 5 was a blast, but the 7 is quite practically a whole new level of car.👍
From JDM wars to VAG wars 💀💀
Great times the VW Golf hits on everything you need for a fun daily car.
Except reliability with the DSG box, horrible, horrible reliability issues and failure rates.
Especially on your wallet when it will break.... Constantly
@@henrik1743 not heard of this with the more modern boxes
@@dreamcrusher112 My neighbour has a 2017 Golf R and his DSG just shat itself completely, he was 6 months away from having to pay that out of pocket, luckily he is covered by warranty. He is the only owner of it since brand new, he is a guy in his 50's that loves cars and had multiple Alfas, bikes etc. So he is not just some dipshit 21 y/o that bought a cheap one with 12 owners that trashed it. Served by the book at the dealer etc..
In sweden here it went so far with the DSG trannies even on normal VW*s that a lot of taxi companies if buying VW refused to buy the DSG transmissions due to the insane failure rates.
@@henrik1743 So I'm a "guy in his 50s" with a Golf DSG, who has owned motorbikes, a heavily modified WRX, a 911 and other fun toys. Did bike track days and car track days - and stuffed the gearbox on the WRX twice (3rd gear both times). The DSG in my MK7 GTi has been golden so far - but just for 120k kms... (no track days though, to be fair...) I do hate the plastic sump on the engine, but DSG is incredible in terms of gear shift speed, paddle access and "auto" capability. No issues for me so far, but I am not on internet forums for Golfs so haven't heard the horror stories...
Not gonna lie I would choose the Golf R over the Gti allday everyday. But those front-mid lights are kinda hideous…
Thought this was another 30 minute video talking about the golf for a second there, turns out it’s a video talking about two golfs this time round 😅
I absolutely love my Mk7 GTI! It’s like the perfect balance between performance and practicality for the price. Can’t wait until you feel a tune with a downpipe, the difference is crazy!
The mk1 gti with vr6 is a gem. When Marty mentioned it at the beginning, I thought he bought one! :(
Mate same I really wanted him to have one sitting there
The Mk1 Golf only ever had 4 cylinder engines, even the GTI. First few years had a 1.6l with 110 hp, but it was later switched to a 1.8l with 112 hp, both taken from the Audi 80.
@@wowdogeful For sure. I meant swapped v6 or even the engine from the r32. The vr6, from what I've read, is not much heavier than the mk1 engines so it becomes a great car! It's a very common swap for the mk1.
Really love those seats in the MK7, They give such a retro charm and look pretty nice in a white car.
A car from 5 years ago should not be retro 😂
@@MrSamu923 it's an old design revived in a new model, That literally makes it retro in this case.
"The cheapest Gof MK7.5" first thing I noticed was the German Ahaus license plate.
My 09 gti was a fun daily but unfortunately the engine seized at 106,000 miles. Only got to drive it for a year
Stage 1 APR Mk7 GTI was a blast. Not so much in the snow unfortunately.
Get proper tires and you'll be fine. If I can tackle snow in my E85 fed IS38 swapped FWD egg. A much skimpier Stage 1 car should have even less issues. FWD does amazing in the snow. You need the tires for it though.
@@Peylix I had proper winter tires. There was no trouble getting around in the snow at all. It just wasn't fun to spin the tires all the time when it wasn't snowing, and objectively RWD and AWD are more fun in the snow.
😂 Man I remember when Marty used to hate the the GTI’s and R’s. Now look at him 😂
I suppose with age comes wisdom haha , I’m not there yet I still buy rust boxes
Damn, now we all have to buy golfs 😂
I already have the little sister. And even though it is the Diesel Gate version, I still LOVE IT.
Do yourself a favor and buy a model year ~2000 Passat or an A4 B5/B6. Passat 3bs have the space benefit of being based on the model year equivalent Audi A6 chassis, both come with a bullet proof 1.8T or 1.9TDIs, just bolt the facelift K04 on the 1.8T and 180kWs are yours without the added electric gremlin hustle. 1.9 TDIs make stupid comfortable long distance cruisers for families and their caravan with corresponding fuel economy thanks to variable turbos and will with some minor tweaks make 180kWs also maintainining emissions. Whilst still having cash to spare for a good holiday compared to one of these Golfs...🤷♂
PS: They´re lower in insurance too, because accidents only happen to people with AK47 tunez...
You know they don't make cars as cool as they used to because of safety and pedestrian impact safety but then they put these giant screens in that control everything and are slow doing so so wtf?
Yo what the heck? Is that a Chrysler 300 C police car at 14:57? Those look like 300 C taillights 🤣🤣🤣
Gotta love a MK7, whether that be a base model, GTI, R, or variant aka Sportwagen, like I have. Not my first golf, but is my first awd wagon. The mods are absolutely endless. Grats on the great find :)
Love my Golf S. That 1.8 is pretty stout, looking forward to tuning it soon.
Guys, being a Golf fan, I can tell you only one thing - I followed you for the past 15 years because of the JDM content mainly, and the more in dept and detailed hardcore projects, please don't step away from them! Please! :)
BTW Great job as always, you guys put lots of effort and heart into your content, and this is why you have follower since the beginning!
I absolutely love my GTI. So much fun and so much practicality, I can do ikea runs, be comfy and still fast. Doesn't get better.
$93k for a Golf R? How can that be? They're like $50k cnd max...
I think the hyundai i30 n preformance, could be litte better option...;)
Problem is, its a VW
There's been a lot of regulation changes between these two models. Things the 7 could do the 8 had to find new ways. We test drove the EV version of the 7 here in Germany. It was literally a ICE and tank delete replace with an electric motor and battery pack. The 8 has been designed to be EV ready. So you could argue the 7 is the peak of IC design. We actually ordered a golf 7 comby from the factory. The order was delayed due to the regulation changes that meant all the engines needed upgrading. We cancelled the order and bought a showroom Touran, which is also baced on the golf 7 platform. 180kph is the top speed before the 1.4L engine gives out to the buffeting drag over the bigger body. The front right shock absorber was blown from the first test drive. And the ACC can easily get bumped out of calibration. Costing 400 Euro to restore. The panorama roof leaks and still needs fixing. Other than that a great car.
Nice, you put our old Turbos and TÜV plate on:-) Greetings Björn
Marty talks about purity & manual seats, but has a DSG….. Just wrong.
Please clean the steering wheel in the GTi. That shiny, hand juice look is so gross! 🤢
You missed the main reason the Mk7.5 is better than the Mk8: you can get it as a 3 door.
I hate having to use touch screens in the car. Knobs and buttons with an intuitive layout please!
