Personally I’m a fan of the new mk8. Played around with the interior on a test drive and I guess it’s not as bad as everyone made it out to be. Still prefer the dated mk7.5 to it but performance wise I think the mk8 has some good qualities to it and the prices are not too bad for a CPO one now.

[@SrKinko]

The interior definitely could have used some QOL updates to make the haptic controls a bit better, but now that they rolled back to physical buttons I doubt any changes will be made

[@Daddy_Mk8]

Owner of the car here I love the interior on my car everyone complains about the steering wheel buttons but in my experience have yet to experience anything bad they have been nothing but good

[@crowsab5291]

I own the mk8 gti for about a year now and let me just tell you that it’s an absolute blast. Don’t care what anyone says about haptics. Sure the haptics and infotainment controls CAN be better but you compromise somewhere with every car. Journalists and mk7 owners(not all) seem to blow everything out of proportion. Love my mk8, and just went stage 1 91oct with EQT and it’s crazy how fast it moves now for the money. Solid car, would recommend

I love mine. Def need mounts. The stock mounts are soft and will wear out quick on a tuned car. I have the BFI stage 2. 034 tracksport mounts are great too. I went with the do88 intercooler and hard pipes, but considered the IE and the Wagner because they're just as good. MK8 is a great platform and the gen 4 EA888 is an awesome engine.

[@benjamindippo]

How’s nvh with those mounts?

[@KMFDM781]

@@benjamindippo Not bad at all actually. I have the dogbone mount as well and it made more of a nvh difference than the mounts. You get a little vibration in reverse and sometimes at idle with the AC but the difference it made with solid shifts and getting rid of wheel hop is worth it by a long shot.

I love your car bro. I have a weebly ‘22 GTI. Question, what do you suggest for Stage 1 tune? My car is still stock.

[@Daddy_Mk8]

You don’t need any mods to go stage one I suggest waiting for blaze performance to drop an intake for the mk8 gti the one they offer for the mk8 r will not fit but other then that you should be able to run full E85 completely stock

So as of now bro I still get the free oil changes so I’m sure it’s the oil Volkswagen uses if not it’s liquimoly but I change the oil every 3500-5000 miles depending on how much I beat on the car

4:51 anyone know what that fluttering noise it and if it's normal? I have a mk7.5 eqt stage 1 and notice a flutter (although much quieter) when I let off the gas, (cruising 60mph without pressing gas pedal for example) it sounds kinda normal but the fact I haven't noticed it before kinda worries me. I'm pretty sure it'd always made that noise, but was hoping someone could reassure/ or give advice on how to approach this.

[@Daddy_Mk8]

That wasn’t my car it was the construction workers but yes it’s normal it’s just the waste gate actuator for the mk7.5

[@vr6gls]

The MK8 is not bad but I much prefer my MK7. I have experienced the MK8’s interior on more than one occasion and it’s a complete step backwards from the MK7/ MK7.5. The over use of gloss black plastic (fingerprints) and lack of buttons is just less intuitive. For me the MK8 is not enough of an upgrade for me to trade my MK7.
