    That is not a $35K GTI. Only the base S comes with the tartan plaid seats that the car in the video has. Fully loaded with performance package and lighting package, the GTI S is priced at about $29K.

    When he said "out" it all started to make sense. 35k in Canadian dollars.

  • @nozydog771
    @nozydog771 8 лет назад +3

    What he doesn't make clear is that for the price of a base GTi you can have a Clubman Cooper S pretty well fully loaded with metallic paint, full leather, sat nav, all the bells and whistles plus you get a car with bags of character!!

    2008 mini clubman 200,000 miles, still running strong no problems. It rips through twisty roads. Use Castrol 10w-30 titanium fluid or Magnetic for a long lasting car. Getting around 50-70 mpgs

      @andrewverrett568 4 года назад

      I've own both and trust me the mini is so much more cheaply made. Plastic everything, interior literally slowly fell apart. The arm rest inside the mini are only held on by plastic clips. Both of the arm rest broke off just by resting arms on them. The gti has solid arm rest built into the door. And thats just one thing. Literally mini coopers are trash. I'll never own another one, the gti is leaps and bounds better.

  • @katanamast279
    @katanamast279 8 лет назад +13

    • @katanamast279
      @katanamast279 8 лет назад

      Yes I understand but considering that price is spot on to what a Golf R cost I would consider it. With that being said I didn't realize that their pricing is based off of Canada prices.

Its all put together with plastic clips that break and the whole arm rest will fall off. The plastic ring for the shift boot will break off just from shifting, the trim around the guages are literally just glued on and will fall off. Its total shit. Gti is leaps and bounds better as far as the interior and that's just a start.
