🐒 CAN WE GET TRACTION?! FWD 553HP DSG VW GOLF GTI MK5 REVIEW
VW Golf GTI MK5 Info:
The Volkswagen Golf Mk5 (codenamed Typ 1K) is a compact car/small family car manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen, as the fifth generation of the Golf in three- or five-door hatchback (August 2003-2008) and a five-door station wagon (2007-2009) configurations, as well as the successor to the Golf Mk4.
The Golf Mk5 was replaced in 2009 by the Golf Mk6, which is built on the same platform.
The Mk5 had revised suspension changes and chassis tuning and increased cargo volume corresponding to a minor increase in size over the outgoing model. Its cargo volume is roughly 0.7 cubic feet (20 L) greater.[6]
Its replacement, the Mk6, was moved forward from the previously stated 2009 in Europe to the autumn of 2008, right after its official premiere at the Paris Motor Show in September 2008.
Options for engines and transmissions vary from country to country, but the Golf Mk5 is available with 4-cylinder, 5-cylinder, and 6-cylinder petrol engines, and a new Pumpe Duse unit injector Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine. Transmission options include manual, automatic, Tiptronic, and Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG).
The Golf GTI included a 2.0-litre Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) engine rated 200 PS (147 kW; 197 bhp) at 5100-6000 rpm (240 PS (177 kW; 237 bhp) automatic) and 280 N⋅m (207 lbf⋅ft) torque at 1700-5000 rpm. Transmissions include a 6-speed manual or 6-speed DSG.
In September 2005, the Golf Mk5 GT was announced, which featured a choice of either 1.4 L petrol engine in twincharger (TSI) configuration, or a 2.0 litre TDI. Both are available as 125 kW (170 PS; 168 bhp) versions; while the diesel also is available as a 140 PS (103 kW; 138 bhp) variant in the UK. The 170 PS (125 kW; 168 hp) diesel has 350 N⋅m (258 lbf⋅ft) of torque, which is more than the range topping R32.

[@melvy211]

That's one of the nicest sounding 2.0T Golfs I've heard.

[@TheSaabClinicUK]

Weather looks crap in Mexico this week. Its nice how their roads are very similar to UK roads, makes it easy for John to adapt 😂

[@monkylondon]

Yes exactly John is really enjoying Mexico he's flying back soon to say hi 👋

[@Stallzyx]

Yeah this guy had a 385bhp edition 30 in black on OG a few years back and I think this same build maybe at lower power was on HampshirePhoto too. Commenting before watching but this guy got a true passion for these mk5s

[@wanguchilambampani1100]

He said he sold the black one, this is a different car

[@rnldmanuel88]

Different car he even mentions it in Hampshire's video.

[@P7PatYT]

One of the best mk5s around

[@sabir8497]

Umar knows how to do his cars up 💥👊🏻

[@monkylondon]

Yes sir top lad confirmed!

[@OwainF]

Had the pleasure of seeing this beast when I was at r-tech, what a savage car

[@monkylondon]

R Tech ftw no complaints from John

[@TheSaabClinicUK]

Was just googling "Spicy" and this video was linked. Spicy it is !!.

[@monkylondon]

Mexico cinfirmed DJ thanking you

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Yes Umeer! What an absolute weapon you've built 😍 Fair play 👏🏻 Cracking video Monky London! 👌🏻

[@monkylondon]

Sick build agreed top man our Umeer 🤝

[@johnpells5992]

What a lovely car , excellent build , can’t believe the std DSG box in it still , credit to vw , sick whip 👍👍😳

[@monkylondon]

Monster car this, big up Umeer👍 What do you guys prefer DSG or manual? Let us know below, more car reviews coming up stay tuned🤝 ML

[@craighughes4023]

Manual

[@boshboshbosh2505]

Love my mk6 6mt!

[@ali09killuminati]

Manual is the shit but you can't shift as fast as these dsgs or even smgs

[@monkylondon]

@@ali09killuminati yeah deffo think DSG has a place, monstrous in this feels like 700hp

[@carl7298]

I know I'll never be able to shift as fast as a dsg can but I'd still pick manual, so much more involving and rewarding too

[@garagetwentynine4023]

I've got a mk5 pirelli edition, basically the same as ed30 with different interior. Great value for money cars, doesn't take alot to get these things going quick. Nice build!

[@monkylondon]

Nice never heard of the Pirelli edition are they super rare?

[@jjs_ed30]

Only 222 Pirelli Editions were made compared to about 2600 Edition 30s

[@jamiebmx360]

@@jjs_ed30 1500 in the uk I believe

[@robertescott1139]

I miss my Pirelli Edition, never should of sold it

[@garagetwentynine4023]

@@monkylondon more rare than an edition 30. Although funny enough there's plenty of them here In NZ and hardly any edition 30s

[@bigash_n54]

I will always miss my golf. Great car's, mine was 350bhp 🙂

[@exgtt2061]

For big turbo big power FWD, DSG is where it’s at for me.

[@donaljamescaddye3805]

That makes a great noise - pure venom - at least there is no bull shite anti lag bollix- Great job that car !!

[@papapetad]

Banging soundtrack as usual and another pocket beast unleashed. The mk5 is my fave Golf shape so I def have a soft spot for this one. Cheers

[@monkylondon]

Yeah deffo don't mind a MK5 at all John reports as well they've aged nicely

[@streetomatt]

Just ended up with 9 points on my licence so gonna live vicariously thought you for a bit in these vids Toby 😭

[@mich992]

Man just found this video... That MkV is wild! Thanks for sharing

[@dancurd3857]

Real Nice motor proper clean has all the creature comforts n everything engine sounds awsome glad to see another beast tamed by the legend John 😂 great stuff 🤘🏻

[@maxreigert3801]

I love VW'$ bro. It's great to see content like this. Not a huge fan of the mk5's but that thing is sick. Fast AF. Nice set up.

[@ysfh]

Exactly, VW’s especially golfs get so much hate for being common but they are the best daily drivers, especially Gti’s & R’s as they blend economic driving and performance.

[@monkylondon]

@@ysfh have to agree fast dailyable car can't go wrong

[@scalecrawlnl]

Just the right car to, after a hard days work, always take the long way home, letting off some steam! And even if red, still a cool VW Golf '5dr. sleeper' to surprsie a few SUVs at the traffic lights. Thank you, rad car and good fun gentlemen!

[@monkylondon]

Glad to be obliged sir, more reviews inbound 🤝

[@tobyraw227]

Nice to see you in my local part of Mexico John. This cars mega . Sick vid !!

Love a MK5! Way better than the MK4 Golfs! This is an insane one.

John don't need driver aids, he has his right foot. 🚀 Monky Mondays 💥🔥

[@monkylondon]

That was very clever traction control tbf, traction control off though John reckons for bants

[@No.Handle31]

I say one thing he was definitely paying attention when John action was on.

[@Downshift_22]

[@charliebelton1994]

What a lovely car, not usually a fan of these, especially with the DSG box. Not a huge fan of the sound but that is an absolute tool, so capable aswell. John, how does this compare to the astra VXR you drove of similar power?

[@monkylondon]

Astra was a bit more mechanical, this would probably nab it in a straight line pull John reports allegedly, both savage cars

[@grantvxr83]

Offffft can feel the speed in this one 😎🤘🏻
