    Congrats on your GTI! Very informative as I’m looking to get the same 380 s model. Turning off driver assists is a must as I rented a new BMW x3 on a trip and had to turn off lane assist rt away - very annoying when car tries to pull you back if it thinks you’re not supposed to change lanes. Again great review and hope you enjoy the car for years to come!

    My 2024 GTI S came with an engine cover, I was surprised.
    I shut off lane assist within minutes. The automated braking when it thinks you're about to hit something is not only annoying, it's dangerous. I was changing lanes on the freeway at 70mph and I was close enough to another car that it slammed the brakes on as I neared the car in front of me causing me to almost lose control. Scared me to death. Just let me drive the car!

    • @RaceCarFriends
      @RaceCarFriends  9 месяцев назад +1

      Man that is scary I was wondering if it would do that while driving at a faster speed I'm happy I turned it off when I did, hopefully anyone watching this video will see your comment and turn it off in their car ASAP!

      Scary experience but you “lose” control and not “loose”. Similarly spelled words but completely different definitions. Unless some parts/bolts that’s “loose” in your car, that is another way you could “lose” control. Hope you get the difference.

    I just got mine in December and it came with an engine cover. To turn on and off the "assists" you can click the button on the left stock on the end of it. Or you can click the Assist button in the center where the mode and clima button are. I have the SE so it has the Harmon Kardon system it "may" be better than the stock S stereo, it is way better than the lowest BMW stereo, but it's not the best I have had. I think the MK7 Fender stereo may have been better. There is a subwoofer in the spare tire area for the Harmon Kardon. And yeah, I was in a drive through when it thought I was too close to a car in front of me and slammed on the brakes itself and scared me, so I turned a lot of it off as well. But still such a fun car.

      Also, I forgot to talk about the steering. The GTI has a quick variable steering rack. That means lock to lock is a lot less, so any input is more meaningful to the wheels. when you get closer to the lock either right or left it turns the wheels more there, but yeah, it's not as good for turning radius but it IS for performance driving. Smaller inputs off center produce better turn in. The focus ST had the same type of rack but its turning radius was even worse. I also believe your Type R has it but Honda was probably better about the "variable" part of it turning even more at the full right or left

    It seems like you're mixing up turning radius with steering wheel ratio/turns lock to lock. Your turning radius is the smallest circle your car can turn in. Steering wheel lock to lock has more to do with the steering ratio, meaning the smaller the ratio 10:1 vs 12:1 the faster the steering. This basically means the smaller the ratio the less you need to turn the steering wheel to achieve the same steering angle. (aka sharper steering)
