2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI (6MT) | POV Test Drive & Review

[@AdamBriffa]

Nice to see an American using manual! Love VW's

[@chrishammillaudio]

It makes driving so much more fun.

[@FI-TECH-250]

As a german, im soooooo happy for you! VW for life!

[@Zaetobe1]

Tornado red! Love it. My same color '13 jetta tdi wagon (also manual!) is still going strong and is a blast to drive every day.

[@chrishammillaudio]

It’s a hell of a lot of fun.

[@ΚΑΥ]

that’s awesome!

Digging the Song of Storms remix at 23:00, truly a man after my own heart

[@chrishammillaudio]

Search “Zelda & chill” on Spotify. The label that publishes this has Really good chill remix’s of various video game tracks. All KZbin copyright friendly too!

Regarding your point at 11:07, i live in The Netherlands, a country which is obviously known to have a very flat terrain, and not much nature either. I see people here driving around RAMs and i often wonder why they have a truck like that, especially because i live in the city. I can understand if you have one for work or something, but most of the time it seems like people just trying to compensate for something

[@chrishammillaudio]

The video I linked from not just bikes - he lives in the Netherlands. You should check it out. He breaks down in great detail why these vehicles are not necessary for most of the population. You’re 100% right. A lot of people buy these huge things as a status symbol.

[@2Nero12]

My man! Congratulations 🎊

[@koishi3449]

i live in the tristate and ive been looking at hatchbacks for live sound gear transport. love the vids, this is a great vid as well

[@chrishammillaudio]

Hatchbacks will not only give you any cargo space you want, but it will save money at the pumps and put a smile on your face every time you drive. Don’t be a sucker and buy an SUV.

[@koishi3449]

@chrishammillaudio ive always been against the suv / crossover takeover for many reasons. glad to see another advocate for smaller cars 🙌

[@-------------------------oo]

Not the Goose Jay-walking at 6:57 😭😭

[@liamphillips2339]

I had a red GTI MK6 DSG that I traded in for a Tesla, and while I am not disappointed with the new car, I do miss the MK6. GTI's just have a special magic/It factor. Also, the plaid seats were the best seats in any vehicle I have ever had.

[@chrishammillaudio]

There’s something I can’t put my finger on with this thing. It feels so fluid and amazing as a drivers car.

[@drtvcheng]

Change motor oil regularly and be watchful with coolant and water pump leaks. I owned a Mk7 Autobahn edition and I missed it.

[@chrishammillaudio]

I’ve already factored in the price to replace both the turbo and the water pump around 60-70k miles if they break. From what I read the mark 7s and 7.5s have those as the biggest issues, although the 7.5s are less likely.

[@JMMinistries]

How much range can you get on a Full Tank?

[@chrishammillaudio]

I’m averaging 450 miles a tank.

[@JMMinistries]

@@chrishammillaudio Wow that's amazing I need to get one now lol 😁

[@chrishammillaudio]

It’s a fantastic car to drive. If you want to give it the beans it’s loads of fun with plenty of power. It can also be a fantastic cruiser that sips fuel. I absolutely love it.

[@Its_Turboo]

As a German its makes me happy to see an American driving a German car and talking about it without any useless Stereotyping. Also Manual is sick to see.

[@Its_Turboo]

Do the US Models have the remote windows feature? (On the key hold unlock to roll all windows down, and hold lock to roll all windows up)

[@chrishammillaudio]

I do not have that feature.

[@Its_Turboo]

@@chrishammillaudio That's a shame, very nice to have on hot days. Or when you forget to close them lol

[@chrishammillaudio]

It would be nice to have but thankfully this car heats/cools very quickly.

[@Its_Turboo]

For references I have a car you lot in the US don't get, a 2017 VW Caddy Maxi powered by the all mighty 2.0 TDI

[@t.garoute678]

You know GTI stand for ‘get there immediately’ lol.

[@chrishammillaudio]

With how fast this is, it definitely does!

[@shaniel045]

9:38 notice what's in the rear view 😆

[@chrishammillaudio]

Eagle eye. I didn’t even notice that.

[@Jim1971a]

Thanks for getting your gas at Wawa.

[@chrishammillaudio]

Ok?

[@lastejassynthesizer7029]

Fine German Engineering

[@chrishammillaudio]

Brilliant in some ways, confusing and unreliable in others. Insanely good car to drive and beautifully designed, unacceptable quirks with the seat rattle and blue tooth mic being attached to an entirely different module lol Those Germans 🤷‍♂️
