The GTI - Everything You Need To Know | Up To Speed

The Volkswagen Golf GTI - if VW hadn't made the very first Mk1 GTI back in 1976, some of our favorite high performance hatchbacks probably would have never existed.

My first car was a mk1. Swapped a 2l from the golf 3 GTI and put some work into it. On some coil overs and good tyres that little creature flew like shit off a stick. Still the best car I've ever had. The reason I love golfs. The reason I love vw. Regret selling it so much.

[@insanetaco98]

I'm trying to vr6 swap my pickup. I have caught some shit from people though cause the caddy is rare here in the states, especially in California, and everyone says I'm ruining it by putting newer better performance upgrades.

[@MrFoxxRaven]

Cody who cares. It's your car. Do whatever you want. You get to drive it not them. Vr6 swapped caddy is awesome by the way. I'll probably look at getting a mk2 and slapping a 3.2l. Or I'll go 16v abf and boost it.

[@sultanofswingdrift3021]

sorry buddy but i have to agree that vr6 is not really a good swap. A lot of people who swaped vr6 mk1 sold it soon after swap. That front weight is just changes the car too much. If you want more speed put 1.8T in it. But really... I had fun in my golf when there was ordinary 1.6 diesel in it. I think you just need to find better roads. It's not a drag strip car you know?

[@insanetaco98]

Turbo Diesel Racing is that why when I look up engine weight the vr6 is close to the 1.9 I currently have in? Give me a break you idiot, if it were too heavy for the car the swap wouldn't be so popular

[@sultanofswingdrift3021]

wow you sure are quick on flaming people that try to give you advice. And no, VR6 weight is definitely not close to 4-cylinder engine, also it's tilted forward so there is even more weight on the front. VR6 are only good for dragstrip... And even there a well tuned 1.8t will spank your junk. Go on put V8 in it for all I care...

By the way, some of the variations of the MK4 Golf platform were stunningly gorgeous, and fast! Of course, the precursor to the current Golf R was the awesome R32. HPA made a twin turbo version that hit 60 MPH in 3.2 seconds too! Then there was the '337' and '30th Anniversary Edition', both GTI's. In my opinion, the '337' GTI, in silver (Google it), was the best looking GTI ever! Great German lines!

I'm restoring an 88 Cabriolet, I just refer to it as a Rabbit GTI Convertible beacuse that's pretty much what it is. One of the best things about the Mk1/2 VW's is that the parts are almost all compatible with each other, so for example I'm pumping my 1.8l up with a 16v airbox, bigger throttle body, ported intake mani and a stainless header with the only aftermarket part being the header (and only because it's cheaper than getting the individual parts for a 4-2-1 exhaust from other VW's) The GTI has always been my dream car, and I hope to own an ACTUAL one someday. Can't wait to get my Cabby on the road though.

Watching these old Up to Speed episodes is sooo strange. Like, why is he so relaxed? And no screaming at all?!

[@hotwire96]

Firstly, the MK5 is not ugly. Sure, prettier cars have existed, but the MK5 is not ugly. Second, at least the MKV GTI looked different from a base model.. at a glance, the MK4, MK6 and MK7 GTI basically look like a regular golf, but the very different grill, painted front end and the different side and rear body moulding of the MK5 made it stand out. Also.. - It was as fast (actually had to be limited) as the MK5 R32 - One of the first production cars to use a DCT - It basically started the overall look that then flowed into the MK6 and MK7, the 'Denver' wheels it had are nearly identical to the MK6 wheels, and even the MK7 wheels look very similar - It was the generation that made the GTI a great car again. The VR6 of the MK3 was a pretty big engine for a hatchback that was quite unreliable and not that powerful, and the MK4 was.. really slow. The MK5 GTI was one of the cars that made hot hatches (actually HOT, like a powerful small car, not a warm hatch like the MK4) a big deal again, a bigger deal than before. We're still seeing the effect of it now, 12 years later, with the new Focus RS, the Focus ST, Golf R, Audi S3 and RS3, AMG A45, whatever else. So don't be dissing the MK5, it did more for small performance cars than you might think.

[@its_mk5389]

hotwire96 the mk5 is so damn sexy, I honestly think that the 4 door ones are way prettier than the 2 door ones, they couldn't have done it any better. And there's the stock tail lights... so fucking ugly.. but i replaced mine with some Euro LED and they look fire 🔥 such a great car

Has to be the best car I ever owned

[@joeottsoulbikes415]

I've only owned one Volkswagen. It was a tan Golf...like an lx type model or something. I needed a car an friend of a friend of a friend type deal came up for $200 for a running car. No dents or dings. Good paint. Clean tan interior with cloth seats that had no issues. It had the smallest engine possible with a 4 speed stick. I have to say it was fun even being gutless. Rode smooth. The cabin was well sealed so it was dry and quit going down the road. One morning I was getting the kids ready for school so I could go to class and the car was gone. I knew it should be in that spot so I went to the apartment office to ask if they had it towed for some reason and they said no. Then someone else came in asking the same question. Then someone else. Turned out our complex had been scoped out by a group that in one night took 9 cars. All cars with no alarms, fairly basic with the same things in common. They all were in great condition, no one had alarms, they were all easy to break into and hotwire. Most important they were all base models of cars that also had popular sport models associated. My Golf, a Lancer, Camero, Eclipse and such. A few weeks later the police contacted me and said they found my car. I went to the tow lot and the car now had ground effects, a wing, bigger wheels, paint, but no motor. This group was stealing cars and shoddily fixing them up in various ways to turn them as sporty cars with swapped vin numbers. The car looked better but I had no money to put a motor in it. The tow lot gave me $200 for scrap and I went car shopping again.

My wife wants you to do the Honda Odyssey.

[@ethanlime]

Wtf where's the R32

[@MindKill3r37]

Limborghini Finally someone!!!!

[@CJBMAGGOT94]

Not a GTI.

[@MindKill3r37]

CJBMAGGOT94 True 😔

[@philiprodriguez4654]

Yea, missed the R32 which makes no sense. He talks about the Golf R, which isn’t a GTI so he should’ve added the R32. They are either both in, or both out. Probably needs to do a separate one on the golf but oh well.

[@bigsmoke2608]

Hey I like your profile photo but not to mean do you agree the interior ruined the car

[@AaronSkone]

I just got a 2016 GTI and came back to watch this. Sorely needs a modern Pumphrey style remake!!!

[@austindriver9385]

I have a mk5 😞 you hurt my feelings on that

[@vesnaroljevic2916]

I dont think mk5 is ugly, for me the uglier is mk4. Greetings from Serbia!!!

[@tylerdolbec3318]

Please do a Jetta one!!

[@seanthomasrauchert1695]

Proud mk4 on bbs rims owner! Loved & miss the vr6 dohc but Would love the golf R next

[@deejaylx95]

I just discovered this channel today, you guys make amazing videos! ❤ Please keep up the great work and great content :)

[@UnlimitedKarma]

Thank you gti for making my focus st possible 😂😂

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

Logan Hopkins ford made performance escorts before the golf even existed so that’s a pile of bullshit

[@hunterjanssen1099]

One Life Vlogs Nah. The first Ford Performance HOT HATCH was the Fiesta Super Sport in 1980. The Golf made the GTI in 1976. The Escort doesn't compete as a hot hatch; they're not in the same market. Volkswagen encouraged Ford and other manufactures to make hot hatches like the Fiesta and the Focus. It turns out your comment is a pile of bullshit!

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

Hunter Janssen yeah it doesn’t compete as a hot hatch but the ford escort rs2000 etc were competing in the same market as the vw golf just as a different body style ford would’ve made performance hatchbacks regardless of weather the golf got had been released so there is no need to thank it for fast fords so don’t call my comment a pile of bullshit it clearly isn’t

[@hunterjanssen1099]

One Life Vlogs People consider the Golf GTI the first mainstream hot hatch, and it sold like crazy. How is it not true that Ford would have influence to jump on that market area?

[@dancreamer7165]

OK Donut, this is serious. I know you guys love VW as much as I do, and I especially love the Golf, I always loved the car, and then I bought an 05 TDI Golf and a 92 Gold Diesel and have loved the car forever. But there is one VW I haven't owned and it is my dream car, so can we PLEASE get an episode on the 90's VW Corrado. This car is so sexy and will 100% eventually be a collectors car. Please review the VW Corrado, which i think I've spelled correctly, maybe not lol.

[@lambodriver217]

How is the mk5 ugly I think it’s good looking the the mk4 is kinda ugly imo so is the mk3 but I love it’s engine

[@tdawg719]

Lambodriver217 I wasn’t a fan of the mk5 until I really looked at it. Bought one and love it. Great looking car. Even the one in the picture they showed when he said it’s ugly looks beautiful. I love a clean mk4, mk5 and mk7. Mk6 R is nice too.

[@patricksmith6253]

I drive a mk5 and I love it. If they'd put the Jetta front end on the mk4 like they did with almost every other generation it would have looked fine. But no, they gave it stupid little headlights and a weird bumper 😂 hard to beat a vr6 though, wish they still had it in the GTI

[@justlukas701]

Lambodriver217 Mk3 and Mk5 are both ugly af

[@panzerveps]

The MK5 looks fat and boring. The facelift was a bit less bad, but still an ugly car. I love the mk6 and 7, tho.

[@insanetaco98]

I have a rabbit caddy

[@vwbusboy9]

The best version of the Golf for sure

[@kittuete]

YESS

[@dereesclark519]

Do it! History of the Si!

[@nikoletnieesv8066]

The only reason why the GTI souls are doing really good paint jobs on their cars back then the most truthfully influential car that VW ever produced was definitely the Corrado thank you very much

[@aaronlyimo626]

You sounded less hyped this time :/

[@tk-jv4zd]

i love my mk5 gti, don't think its ugly at al😑
