2019 VW Golf GTI Performance REVIEW POV Test Drive on AUTOBAHN & ROAD by AutoTopNL

[@peterbennpan7288]

You have the best job in the world

No the best job in the world is the job the guys from the grand tour have

@@BobaShakeMallow yes

[@BobaShakeMallow]

Performance Josh ehh I don’t agree with you.

[@Josh_0579]

@@BobaShakeMallow What is the best job in your opinion

[@runicknight8459]

For me the GTI is the perfect daily driver, it has decent gas mileage, looks good, handles amazing, has good leg room in the back, good storage, and yet it can also be very quick when you need it to be, the only thing I don’t like is the digital dash, but over here in America we don’t have the MK7.5 yet so that’s not really an problem, and also I wish it was an bit louder, or have an option from manufacture to get an louder exhaust

[@wolfqlf2287]

Vw golf gti tcr you can get that car with a upgraded Akrapovic exhaust

[@LegerAndCo]

i have the GLi and I went for ETS intake, and catback. thier products are great and are american products. it's aftermarket yes but their engineering for Vw's and audi's are top notch for a north american company.

[@angeIa]

you cant get it online? like not from the manufacturer?

[@rootsmanuva82]

When I upgraded from an MK6 to an MK7 with the Performance Pack I couldn’t believe the difference in mid-corner grip. With the LSD you can apply power mid corner and it pulls you through like magic. Total difference maker.

[@thomasschmitz3765]

Thank you for making and sharing. I specifically enjoyed the fact that you had your cam attached to your head (obviously), helping you to compliment your comments on the spot. Plus, your clear pronounciation helps non-native speakers to easily understand what you are saying. Great job!

[@gooeykev]

I test drove one of these and can easily say, I really want this to be my next car. This car has really good pull and doesn’t feel gutless even with the DSG.

[@Noobletti]

Damn the hate in the comments.. again.. you dont have to like vw.. but saying that it is crap and so on doesnt change a thing. People will buy these cars and there is good reason for it.

AWD > FWD

[@Billeh556]

TheDJZeroX AWD, FWD OR RWD doesn’t mean fuck all without good tires

[@TheDJZeroX]

@@Billeh556 You're right. But I speak from experience and find it pretty hilarious that FWD cars gettin' more and more bhp, but having bad launch controls due its torque.

[@MaxCohagen]

@@TheDJZeroX 3000rpm would be enough for them

[@devn3813]

TheDJZeroX you just need good tires. Awd means awful mpg, a ton of added weight, power loss, and a much more expensive vehicle

[@StasComoestas]

I Love this car 👍

[@koeskss]

those are option seats, you can still get clark as standard.

[@TheDJZeroX]

3:19 that's why I don't understand those high hp FWD cars. I'm driving a 230 hp GTI 7 right now and you have wheelspin all the time. Everything above 200 hp should have AWD imo.

[@lechusokolowski]

You need those +200hp when driving +150km/h, launch traction is not everything.

[@Ersy90]

Got mine tuned over 330 hp, you can only kiss the paddle under 80km/h..otherwise a bicycle overtakes you.

[@greymark420]

Well I drive a FK8 type R. 320bhp front wheel, np with wheel spin. Yes if you really push it, there is some torque steer, bit it's marginal.

[@fredcivicek9]

If you wheel spin its because you give too much throttle! Be gentle with the pedal and learn how to put the power to the ground.

[@masafak]

just look at the ground, its wet and cold.. ofc there is less grip with summer tires

[@t3chn0m0]

Will you Test the GTI TCR and SQ2 as well?

[@GreenDiesal]

Hi Max, can I ask you something? Last time you tested the Polo GTI and confronted with the regular Golf GTI (the one with 230 hp), you said that you found the Polo a little bit more envolving, do you think the same about this one with the performance pack?

[@oktamer]

Mechanical limited slip?! In Canada for mk7.5 we have the electronically controlled, clutch locking front differential. (Not the xds which every golf has that you are explaining at 6:00)

[@coopsnz1]

Because this isn't sold in Canada

[@OneTwoThreePunch]

I have a 2019 GTI 7 speed DSG. The 1-2 shift in drive under light acceleration is mushy. Feels like it’s slipping 2nd while first is still engaged. Anyone else experience this? It’s slightly better in sport but not great. My MK7 had a better shift. I don’t want to tune the dsg for warranty reasons. I have 1k miles on it so maybe it will get better?

[@Codename.996]

No mine is also letting the clutch slip from 1 to 2 Gear. It‘s normal for the MK 7 GTI

[@OneTwoThreePunch]

@@Codename.996 my mk7 didn’t do it with the 6 speed dsg dq250. My 7.5 feels so much less assertive with the dq381.
