been a gti owner for almost 3 months now and honestly it’s been hella fun. the 6 speed transmission is really nice and the gears are relatively short. that and also the insane handling in these cars make flying thru backroads and cutting up on the highway so much fun. i put a diverter valve spacer in mine so it makes turbo sounds and it’s the best little sports car you could ask for.
thank you sir, I've owned my 08 since new, mfg 5/08 it must have been one of the last fsi's to roll off..... you just taught me some interesting facts, much appreciated
pretty useless gadget tbh... if u go wash ur car ur getting everything washed anyways and by the looks of it it will just get in ur way of aftermarket intercooler probably, so u have to delete it anyways .. i dont know anyone who buys gti and leaves it stock
I bought my early 08 in 2011 with 27k miles and still have it today with 194k miles and no major repairs yet. I have package 1 but also have the cold weather package with cloth seats
@andy bosik can i ask you if you had any troubles with the engine? I heard that 2005 had a axx engine with lots of problems. The 2006 + has bwa engines. What km you bought it and how much u drove it? Im on point to buy one with 125.000 km VW dealer controlled
Thank you , I really did not know what I stumbled upon when I rescued her from AutoTrustUSA here in Florida. She's still running as strong as ever. I do baby her though, I will post a oil change video soon. Thank you for watching and god bless :B
I see you are very knowledgeable, and I have a question. I have a 2 door 2008 VW rabbit and I want to replace the seats front and rear. I found a great deal on seats from a 2008 Volkswagen GTI but it’s four-door I’m not too concerned about the front seats but I haven’t really found any information on the rear whether they are interchangeable or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Honestly it all depends on how the previous owner treated the DSG car. I don't know how the Focus turbo is , but they don't instigate my golf lol, they are cute beginner tuner cars that is what Ford was going for don't get me wrong. But for me, Id go with German Engineering.
I have a neighbor selling her Golf 5 DSG GTI for 3k€, 90k km, ordinary service every 10k km according the service book and DSG serviced at 60k km. She is the first owner, do you think is a good deal?
I heard that, but in the opposite way. I have the mk5 with AXX engine and if you’re using it as a daily and have a havier foot on the gas, you will need to have the heavier wallet every 2-3 months for something.
Technically if you were in Germany at the time of the release but like always this car will always be a 2007 hot hatch of the year by everybody just take a look around RUclips lol. MK4s are from the 90s if you look at the car world with those glasses you are wearing. thank you for the view and cheers.
Original owner here still driving my '07 package 2, 6 speed fsi nearly 19 years later. Still great whip

Of course RUclips recommends me this video 2 hours after I hit a deer in my MK5
Well don’t hit a deer…

Yes you are absolutely correct, but I also made sure to acknowledge that I was speaking for the USDM MK5 GTI. Thanks for commenting!

Thank you , I really did not know what I stumbled upon when I rescued her from AutoTrustUSA here in Florida.

Cold weather package could be had with cloth seats in 2008 and 2009
Yes! No sticky summer seats, toasty winter seats, and PLAID! Love it 🙂
0:51 is this stock color option? what color code is that.. i usually dont like grey cars.. but this looks nice....
Great info, thank you!!
U did not mention the MK5 GTI Wald edition
I have the headlight washer but it only works 25% of the time how do I fix it
considering getting one of these in dsg and selling my Ford Focus 1.5T. thoughts?
Just make sure you know what you're getting if you can run a scanner on the car before purchasing and always look at the carfax.
Honestly it all depends on how the previous owner treated the DSG car.
I don't know how the Focus turbo is , but they don't instigate my golf lol, they are cute beginner tuner cars that is what Ford was going for don't get me wrong.
But for me, Id go with German Engineering.
Agree 100% the vehicles history is more important sometimes than what the car is.
I have a neighbor selling her Golf 5 DSG GTI for 3k€, 90k km, ordinary service every 10k km according the service book and DSG serviced at 60k km.
She is the first owner, do you think is a good deal?
I didn't know you had to press 5 times to use headlight washer
It's every third wash.
En algunos mercados estuvo de 2005-2008 Y en otros de 2006 -2009
It's so good car ,, problems spare a'm from to Africa 🌍
mk5 gti was made to 2003 to 2009
He manejado 3 generaciones de GTI y son excepcionales
My 2009 MK5 was made in Hungary.
And comes in BLUE
It's stratified, not stratisfied.
Satisfied?
Guillermo Plains
There's also the early Wald edition?
Is it true the 2005 models have the axx truble engine and 2006 + bwa engine. Any of you had an axx engine and some truble?
M Hero you mean trouble?
I heard that, but in the opposite way. I have the mk5 with AXX engine and if you’re using it as a daily and have a havier foot on the gas, you will need to have the heavier wallet every 2-3 months for something.
Bwa is the more updated better engine
From 2004
Not bad mate.
Wrong, right from the getgo. Mk5 is produced from 2004...
Not for usdm
Thanks for info.
2005 not?
240 edition getting skipped

If you’re American why do you sound Dutch
2005 to 2009
Technically if you were in Germany at the time of the release but like always this car will always be a 2007 hot hatch of the year by everybody just take a look around RUclips lol.
MK4s are from the 90s if you look at the car world with those glasses you are wearing. thank you for the view and cheers.
