I believe that it is still king of Hot Hatches for the simple fact that manufacturers still benchmark this for their products as well as auto journalists when testing anything close to being a sporty hatch. One example being the Mazda 3 and Car and Drivers 10 Best review of the two. Is it the best value... I think the ST and the new Veloster might be better. LOVE THE CONTENT!! Happy Birthday J!

I test drove a 2016 GTI Autobahn yesterday, and I totally get the hype now. The GTI just feels very alive - not computer-like like so many other cars today. I hear and feel more, but not in a negative way. I hear the turbo spooling, the engine revving, and little imperfections in the road through the steering wheel. The DSG is fantastic, too. Of course it's not as fast as a PDK or as smooth as a ZF 8HP, but it feels very direct and shifts crisply. What's more is that the GTI is just incredibly easy to drive. Everything just works - as far as both infotainment and driving. I might have to get one.

@@SuperEman500 I have a GTI with a 6 speed manual and when I want to take off, I keep it in first and just rev the engine harder! I do NOT recommend installing aftermarket seats. Ze Germans thought of just about everything in this car. It's a bit difficult for me to get out because I don't have long legs and I have to haul myself over the side bolsters but they DO keep me from sliding around when the car corners. It corners so hard that my head gets nauseous and I have to back off the throttle!

The thing with the DSG is you can tune it to be way more aggressive and it will probably outlast the engine. Unless youre making 600+ hp which at that point is a drag car.

I went from a 2005 BMW 330Ci ZHP Convertible to a 2019 GTI Autobahn. It's not quite as nimble as a Mini, but I hate what BMW have done with the Mini design of late, especially those square-ish headlights on the 2019 Cooper S JCW (which was the other option I was looking at). It is seriously fun to drive, gets great mileage, and is practical for tooling around with the family. Much recommend, would buy again.

Nice video fellas! It's apparent the GTI is the "grown up" choice in the hot hatch segment. Some people say it's wedge-shaped design doesn't appeal to them, but I think the angular and clean design looks handsome. Also it's nice to have 220 hp out of the turbo 4 with this refresh and the upgraded brakes from the R!

When I had finished spec'ing the GTI it was basically the same price as the Golf R. The ST seats were terrible for me. But now my warranty is almost up I'm thinking of getting something different and revisiting the same debate I had last time. So really looking forward to your Golf R review.

I really don't want to like the Golf or Golf GTI or any Golf. Because historyteachers, as myself, should drive boring cars like ten year old Toyotas, (as myself), or something other boring. And we are supposed to get a little mocked by the teenagers we meet at Our job on the cars that we're driving. But I have to come out of the closet and admit that I actually really do love Golf GTI. I drove it almost 2000km over a weekend and I loved every kilometer. But not as much as i loved the visor-test on this episode. I laughed. Hard. Thanks for that. I needed that after eight hours With thirty fourteen year olds in a classroom. VW Golf GTI is the best. It's just sad that it's so freakin' expensive. Happy birthday Jakub! I love the fact that you ended up cleaning cake from the interior. You should have filmed it.

Don't know how much history teachers make, but you can find used GTI's for a good price, since they depreciate like crazy. If you were to find one in a decent condition, you can swap your current car without making huge financial dent in your budget. GTI wil still cost significantly more to maintain but if done properly it wouldn't be a financial disaster.

Agreed. I much prefer the red accents over the white/silver ones. I’d buy the GTI over the R.

Another great video! Just a couple things FYI - 1. For some reason VW decided to include atmospheric pressure to the PSI gauge, so just subtract about 14 PSI from the reading and that is about what the actual boost is (depends on elevation). 2. The DSG is a great transmission, it shifts faster than anyone could possibly shift a manual and it is fun to go through the gears on the paddles or leave it in auto while in traffic. I have read that the 6-speed manual is very tall geared, which is good if you don't like to shift a lot but not good for performance. 3. I see the GTI Autobahn vs Golf R price comparison quite often, and based on MSRP the Golf R is definitely a better value, even though the GTI Autobahn does come with more luxury/comfort options than the Golf R. The Golf R is heavier because of the AWD system so they are trying to keep the weight down elsewhere. The R is a lower volume car so they don't want to spend extra money on adding more trim levels to it. The GTI's go on sale for $5,000 USD or more at the right time of year and I have never seen a Golf R on sale, they are always at MSRP or over because they are more rare. If people are actually paying 33k-34k (plus tax depending on state) USD for a GTI Autobahn vs 40k or more for a Golf R (plus tax) that is actually a substantial price difference. On top of that the Golf R AWD system is really a retro-fitted front wheel drive system and adds substantial weight, although it is still nice. In actual track testing with lap times on a 2 mile course, the R is only about a second faster than the GTI because the GTI is lighter. For an average driver the difference would not be noticeable. The R is faster in the 0-60 by about 0.9 to 1.4 seconds though due to the AWD so anyone would be able to notice that. The R really only makes sense to me if you live in a very cold climate and you need to drive on snow and ice often or if you are planning on modifying the car to make it so fast that the extra grip would be necessary. Just my two cents. (I own a 2017 GTI Sport DSG, which is basically a base with the performance package, lighting package, nicer wheels and the Keyless Access System)

@@EthanL21800 I'm assuming you're ignorantly comparing apples and oranges? I.e. a FWD car on winter tires is better than an AWD car riding on something completely different? Because in no way, shape, or form is FWD or RWD a "burden" in the winter. When comparably equipped an AWD car will outperform it in handling and acceleration. Handling, because the car and use the rear/front wheels in coordination with ESC, ABS, and torque vectoring to stabilize the car and I'm hoping acceleration is obvious. At this point I'm not sure if it is to you. Just let me know if you're still confused.

enjoying all the VW reviews. I own a 2010 Golf Sportwagen TDi Highline with a 6-speed Manual. Trying to decide whether to trade it in or get the fix done and keep it. Leaning towards a new 4-motion manual sportwagen or the All-Track. But that Diesel Torque tho...

I bought mine in March of 2018 and had watched this review several times. I got the SE manual for a little under $27k USD, and after almost 9 months of ownership I definitely love this car. Could I have gone faster for the money? Probably. Could I have had all the utility and luxury items as well? Nope.
