Currently own a 2017 GTI S 6MT. Had her since August of last year and absolutely love driving her. Perfectly happy with how she is but I definitely understand and support those who mod and tune their GTI's. I believe it's all in what you want out of the car and what your plans are long term.

First GTI and I gotta say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !! I’ve owned mustang gt. Highly modified. A Porsche 944. A 95’ thunderbird 4.6 again highly modded. Honda civic. Out of every vehicle I’ve ever owned. And I’m 53. This GTI is by far the most fun. Just started doing her up my way, my taste. FMIC. CHARGE PIPES. Luftechnic cold air intake. CTS turbo muffler delete. CTS turbo inlet elbow. ARM DOWN PIPE UNITRONIC STAGE 1+ I personally like the factory cat back. But I also went with catless downpipe. Very fun to drive. She makes a little noise. But nothing obnoxious. Keep up the great content cameron Schedule a drive/tour through northwest Arkansas.

But now I’m focusing more on looks. It has not been the best plowing snow in the winter right now but overall a really good starter for car enthusiasts! Reliable and a really good sporting feel!

Now I’ve had an 05 WRX and an 08 STI and I feel like the overall drivability in a GTI is far better. I did however trade my GTI for a golf Alltrack. I did miss the all wheel drive. There is an IS38 in my future. I did love my STI but I just feel like the overall power delivery and daily driver comfort is far better in these cars. And the fuel mileage is probably 8 to 10 miles per gallon better

I've had a MK6 GTI for a little over two years now and am thoroughly enjoying it. I am keeping the engine completely stock, but recently did a stage 1 tune on the DSG - highly recommended! I've done a few visual mods to make it unique (LED tail lights, diffuser, side skirts). The biggest project I've done was installing a Kenwood head unit and front & rear cameras. I live near many twisty mountain roads, and that's where it is an absolute blast to drive!

I own a 2016 S DSG, purchased fright before the pandemic when used cars were at their lowest. 27k miles, out the door from a dealership for $16k. Got an EQT tune on it for the last 15kmiles. So much fun. The stock tune is designed to deliver 210-220hp (depending whether or not if it has the PP). It will deliver this hp regardless of elevation. So imagine this, you go canyon carving up the mountains. Car never loses power because there's extra headroom for the turbo to keep boost up. When you get a tune, you are using that extra headroom. So if you go up into the mountains, you'll start losing that power, but only the extra power.

I live in Belgium and I drive a 3 door 2012 Golf 6 Gti Edition 35 DSG. Edition 35 might have been EU only, not sure. -> Edition 35 gets some extra exterior parts, semi leather/alcantara Edition 35 seats and most importantly gets a better 'detuned' golf 6 R / Scirocco R (TSI) engine with a KO4 as standard making 235bhp stock (also no timing chain problems since belt in this one). A stage 1 brings me up to about 310bhp and 440Nm. She's still stock (engine wise) atm and she's amazing good fun. Went to the unrestricted German autobahn a few times and got up to 260kph and I could hang with faster hot hatches like Focus RS and Cupra 300.. Launch control is something I rarely use, but one time I had my younger brother and his friends with me in the car and I did a launch and their reaction was priceless, all screaming/laughing/giggling like little girls. Love Gti's.

MKV gang gang. Hard agree the best mod for these cars is an ECU tune. Unitronic, who I went with, offers tunes for 91 or 93, depending on what’s in your area. You get significant gains without changing any hardware whatsoever. And you have the option to tune higher the more supporting mods you throw at it. Still probably not going to be the fastest car in a straight line, but in the twisties where it matters, few cars will be able to keep up. And you are still going to have all the practicality of a hatch, comfortable interior and decent fuel mileage when you’re not hammering on them. As an entry level enthusiast car, the GTI is hard to argue against.

I guess it really all depends what you came from. My 2016 gti is my first tuner car, I came from a 2008 civic si(bone stock, never considered building it) and a 2001 Jeep Wrangler. Both are slow as hell compared to a stock gti. Only in the past 6m have I gotten the tuner bug and well stage 2, ttrs clutch, dogbone mount insert, rear sway bar, ps4 tires, intake, inlet elbow and dammit if I don’t want an is38 turbo. It’s all relative. Oh and I’d love to win that exhaust 😂😂. How ever I do like having a car that looks and mostly sounds stock. Great vids.

Just because u get a tune doesn't mean you're warranty is out the door. It's a case by case situation. Some dealers are really strict, some are chill but it depends on how you approach warranty claims. Basically part failure has to be proven due to the specific modifications to be denied warranty work. As long as you maintain the car you really shouldn't have any issues other than the waterpump/thermostat housing. Full send it!

A lot of people simply can't afford to tune a vehicle unless it's out of warranty. The cost for repairs are egregious for these German vehicles. I remember when I had my MK7 and the water pump failed. Fortunately it was all covered under warranty but the invoice was like $2500. I guess you can place another group next to "Sad Boys" and call it "Poor Boys" because that's the category I fall under.

Disagree on needing to tune a GTI. If you want a fun, sporty, ergonomic, and practical daily driver keeping the GTI stock isn’t a big deal. As a daily driver that’s a lot more fun to drive than comparably priced Honda HRV, for example, there’s not a big urge to tune. If want have track days or show your car off to other car guys that’s a different matter.

I will never sell my mk5 GTI. I got it a year ago for 3500$ with 130k miles now they’re going for about 6500$ with 140k miles. I plan on going APR stage 1 soon. Then stage 2+ after I get a clutch. Almost with I went DSG

I recently talked my dad into letting me get a mk7 gti(he hates everything foreign) but once he saw the car he fell in love. Even though I paid for the whole thing my dad is very strict on what I spend my money on. It’s been a very good car, A lot of fun buttttt I’ve only had it for a week I already put on some 19in vertini RFS1’s, Injen evo intake and cts turbo exhaust(I didn’t do enough research before I bought the exhaust, I really regret it.) I really want to give the car some character so I want to put a stage 1 and a Downpipe on it but my dad said if the car is the shop within a couple months he will kick me out…….. I’m really scared one I do tune it I’ll loose reliability. My brother had a 500hp wrx at my age(I’m 17) and it blew up at 30k Miles. My dad says it was bc he tuned it….. What do you think?

Looking at buying a 2019 SE 6 speed, slightly modded with lowering springs, catback, BOV, and front mount. With only 18k miles it’s hard to pass up, I’m not worried that the previous owner abused the crap out of it. Any thoughts?

I have a 2017 “stage 2” Golf R I think you should borrow for a day and do a comparison video. I’m in Mesa, AZ. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll get you my contact info. I’m not on social media (KZbin is as close as I get…).

Got my 17 gti a couple months back for the same price! Autobahn edition. I agree with how slow and luggish it was tune from factory. An ecu and dsg tune make the car night and day! Also, you are one of the main reasons why i got the GTI🔥

Is38 is in the near future for me, but I'd rather get spend a bit more for an is38 with better internals since they don't like being pushed too hard. Have my eyes on the garrett turbo or the hpa is38+. Great video tho. #unitronic gang

I have the is38 hpa oem+ turbo on my 2020 mk7.5 gti and it’s great! Although now that garret released the bigger turbo I’m already eyeing it and waiting til tunes come out for it and will probably send it on that.I’m running IEs IS38 tune and I am having a blast.

I wish you guys got the real mk7.5 in North America cause 7,5 in NA is the same as 7 just upgraded headlights and taillights. I love my 7,5 gti performance with 245bhp and it’s pretty awesome

It's not just different bumpers. Your cars more HP due to our emissions standards here. Most cars get detuned from the factory going to the USA. 7.5 here gets different front and rear bumpers, different headlamps, different tails lamps, different engine tuning, different radios, different trans 7 speed vs 6, Golf R brakes and upgraded safety systems amongst other cosmetic changes. More of a change than you realize.

@@Fiwek23452 yes Golf 7, Jetta, Tiguan and Taos all from the Pueblo Mexico plant... Golf 8 though will be coming from Germany. Makes sense for VW to do what they did. The Mexico plant would save costs on shipping. Lots of Europeans in Pueblo Mexico that plants been there for many many years and they actually have a European influence there it's pretty interesting.
