    During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
    FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of RUclips!

    Love my 16 GTI Autobahn. The dynamic suspension is incredible. With some bolt ons and a tune, it really is a fun little car that maintains practicality with good mpg and can hang with some of the higher power competitors.

    It's a shame SEAT don't sell cars in the US, I could imagine the Leon Cupra would sell well. Same platform and engine, but 280 hp, very close in price but more interesting and attractive (in my eyes).

    • @Nagstrr23
      @Nagstrr23 9 лет назад +1

      ***** In my eyes the same applies to the Skoda Octavia RS (220hp or 230hp with the edition 230). The prototype for the RS+ has also been spotted. You can suggest that it will have 280hp too.
      I would be torn between the Cupra ST and RS+ Combi/Station Wagon.

      M50Racing If the Octavia (I haven't been inside a new one personally) is anything like the new Superb (which I have), they represent really great quality for the price, and are very spacious.

  • @Yakeru35
    @Yakeru35 8 лет назад

    One interesting detail I noticed while watching the video : the door hinges of that mk7 look ... normal. At least compared to the mk6 ! I was really impressed by the door hinges of the mk6, because they are very thick and wide, and the mechanism that gives the three steps when you open the door is quite unusual with its levers, bearings and thick steel parts. When I saw that I said to myself "ok, that's what they mean by German over-engineering !" While, in the mk7 that is show in that video, the door hinges look perfectly reasonable, and we can see the usual thin metal "stick" with it's three notches going inside the door that we see in every single car. Also when you closed the door at 15:58, we can hear something rattle, maybe my memory is playing me tricks, but I don't remember the mk6 doing that, or maybe it was because the window was down... anyway I read that VW made many optimizations and took many measures to reduce the production time and cost of the mk7 compared to the mk6 ... When I see what is qualified as "normal engineering" today, even though "over-engineering" might be more expensive for no good reason, in the end I appreciate it, I hope that VW is not abandoning that philosophy :-(

  • @LandOfTheFreeMediaBlogspot
    @LandOfTheFreeMediaBlogspot 9 лет назад

    Nice review Kyle. I really like how Volkswagen gave the new Golf GTI has a more competitive look than what the previous design had.
    I also agree with you that there should be USB ports in the vehicle as most new ones now come with it as standard equipment.
    In addition, how's everything going for you?

  • @daaper
    @daaper 9 лет назад +1

    Looks like the GTI might suffer from the same problem I recently experienced in the Passat. Did you happen to notice that the gas pedal was way too far to the right? It resulted in me having to cram my leg against the center console to keep from accidentally hitting the brake. I don't understand why they bunched the pedals all the way over on the automatic version.

    Why is there no led headlights at the back? I have a gti and i have the special gti headlights that look much better! It wasn't optional it came alreday in the gti package

    I know one person who has this car and she says she is at the dealer every week trying to figure out where the current rattle is coming from. I guess for the price they had to cut somewhere.

    Rumor has it if you get the stage 3+ with slicks on it will wheelie easy in reverse
