hit me with your best shots go on and hit me
with your best shots you join me inside the 2022 volkswagen golf gti the vehicle that defined
the hot hatch segment 46 years ago and arguably still defines it a new generation therefore is
very exciting for enthusiasts especially ones like me who previously owned gti's i had a mark
5 and did all sorts of dumb teenager stuff in it and loved every minute of it this new one
though volkswagen is tweaking the exterior modernizing the interior and improving the
driving dynamics we've got to see however if this is still the king of hot hatches or if
it's going soft that's today on miles per hour and there it is the 2022 volkswagen
golf gti this one is painted in pure white it's a non-metallic paint
color reminds me a ton of my 07 gti 14 holy cow 14 years ago i had that car i am
getting old the first thing i want to say about this one right here is that it is a european model
that plate right there front yeah it's not just for show it actually is a european car so what i
mean by that is that as it's specked the options you're seeing here do not directly translate to
our u.s spec cars s-trim sc trims or audubon trims so i can tell you it's 48 000 euros as
tested but that should be nothing to you because it really it's like it's somewhere well
within that range but then with options some that we don't even get in the us but we're gonna
you know we're still gonna do the exterior walk around interior and review i just want want that
to be clear so we'll start up here at the front and this eighth generation gti has a
evolutionary not revolutionary design one of the options on this car is that it has
their dynamic lighting system so led headlights and daytime running lights are standard on
the gti but this one has the optional iq light on the id4 they call it the id light but
it's this light strip that runs just below the red accent across the grille and these led
headlights are now adaptive with that package and they're cornering so like as you
turn the wheel the lights will adapt the face we now have this black honeycomb
grille that is connected in the front and we've got a subtle black plastic splitter
below that that connects up into this sharp curve right here that accent that i really like we
also have optional these five led lights that are fog lights in the corners on the left and right
hand sides that they actually look pretty cool especially at night the hood is more steeply
rated and has these really hard cut lines in it like that design the vehicle is about an inch longer
and sits lower than the predecessor but the wheelbase is the same length these
wheels here's an option right 19-inch golf r wheels so these are not the standard 18s
i think you get standard yeah standard 18s that you get on the base s model they're upgraded
and they're wrapped in bridgestone potenza re 71r tires 235 section at all four corners which is a
bit interesting to me because that really speaks to volkswagen's confidence that they've
mitigated understeer because typically with a front wheel drive car if you want the rear
end to kind of rotate a bit more they do a bit of an offset so like the audi rs3 that i drove i
don't know how long ago that one had an offset wider front tires narrow rear and it
really would just rotate the rear end this one they're like nah we got it so yeah you
got 235 section front and rear red painted brake calipers are standard on the gti that's your
that's your giveaway got a gti badge up here on the side butterfly matching door mirrors for the
caps up top integrated corner markers turn signals pinot black loss b pillar right there
and then stepping back there's not a lot that's distinctive about the profile of this
new generation compared to the predecessor you can kind of see the steeper rake of the hood
there but that c-pillar that's all classic gti looks great getting to the back
we see a distinctive gti spoiler with these pinot gloss black pieces down
low led tail lights are standard on the gti and the rear view is definitely distinctive for this new generation the
taillight designs are unique also look fantastic at night you
see iq light there on the side gti is spelled out with red accent below the
volkswagen badge that also functions as the trunk release and then down low we've got a blacked
out diffuser with dual chrome exhaust ports the gti has never been an ultra flashy
car and especially when painted white but it looks it looks sharp
it looks mature as a hatchback and that is its real distinctive characteristic
and yet when you get behind the wheel especially as a teenager me uh you can act like a hooligan so
let's check out that interior on our way in we'll see we've got keyless sentry so you can leave
the key in your pocket pull on the door handle to unlock it put your finger on that indent right
there to lock it that's just for the front two doors and yes it is an option on us spec cars oh
one more thing you can see the volkswagen printed in here it's actually not flush that's like a
3d volkswagen cool opening up and looking inside we'll see this gti has the standard scale paper
that's what they call their plaid design fabric seats yet another classic gti trait the fabric
plaid seats this one we've got different textures on the seat inserts on the bolsters then here we
switch to suede with red contrast stitching here they are heated and manually adjustable so you've
got your slider there your back angle there sorry this is your back angle this is your
raising and lowering and then this one is your lumbar so you can slide this forward and you
add lumbar that way it's kind of clever keeping it manual but giving you lumbar control neato
here we've got injection molding in the doors that switches down to this kind of scale
design trim that really just blends in if you're not looking too closely at it with
the rest of the dashboard and door trim moving down into some fabric here this is
a soft feeling plastic your window switches you've got power folding door mirrors here i've
left the car on so we can show you these in action and they actually tuck up real tight to the
body because they go at an upward angle someone is definitely not going to come along and whack
those unless they're very close to your car down here into hard plastics and then we've got this
soft fabric on the inner side of the door pocket this doesn't mark it but up here
it does we've got the harman kardon 480 watt nine speaker sound system that
is i think a standard thing on the sc trim for our usb cars and no sunroof that's a bummer
to see but it does save weight let's hop in now and close up that door good solid sound there and uncoil those
door mirrors taking a peek around the cabin you can see good visibility and
it does get a little dark without a sunroof especially in the back but those
plaid seats make up for it they're so cool looking at this steering wheel you do get
a standard leather wrapped steering wheel with perforations at nine and three
this one is heated as an option and it just feels fantastic the thickness is
just right the places at nine and three for your hands to slot in feels so good and we have
steering wheel mounted paddles on the back this is something that's looked and felt the same
since my 07 gti i had the dsg and it was new technology and i really wanted to try it out
and yeah the paddles look and feel the exact same on the steering wheel itself we've got gti down
here with that red stripe this soft metal looking and feeling finish but it is plastic and then on
this piano gloss back backing we've got all these touch sensitive controls and the ones on
the right are gonna work with this 10.25 inch standard digital instrument cluster very
high resolution super sharp very responsive and completely customizable and the ones on the left
are going to work with vw's iq drive their suite of driver assistance features that are standard
on the gti so we've got our lane keep assist turning on and off the cruise control setting
your following distance for the adaptive cruise and then we've got a volume control here and it's
not a toggle or a slider or anything like that you can just put your finger on here and either press
or slide it to increase or decrease the volume that's better and i found myself using that
more than the fact that the infotainment doesn't have any sort of volume control so
you'd have to just tap your finger here or slide it yet again which is more of a distraction
while you're driving so i just found myself using this most often as the driver above that
we've got our turn signals which appear on the outer ends of the digital gauge cluster you of
course have one touch indications wiper controls will be on the right along with the button
for voice commands and steering wheel heating and your seat control that functions the same
way as the volume you can slide or just tap and then these buttons here again working with
the gauge cluster let's go through those quickly so if you want a more in-depth walkthrough of this
and the infotainment and all the stuff outside and in for the gti i would encourage you to watch my
walk around video that it will go live tomorrow but let's go to the right-hand side
and we can change up your g-meter for boost pressure power acceleration all this
telemetry data your audio settings navigation driver assist systems fuel gauge consumption
all these different things you can choose for both the right icon and the left
one so if you hit the left button you can change up you can show you what gear
you're in along with what drive mode you're using and then in the center on this view we have a
lap timer but if you want to change that with attack going on the outside if you want to
change that up hit the view button and those icons right and left stay with you but now we've
got attack on the left and a speedo on the right then this is a map view or would be a map
view if this was a u.s spec car so we've got european mapping data so we don't
have anything that will show up here driver assist systems you
can get a full view of that speed right in the center there or back to your
lap timer this is very good i like this system quite a bit we have an optional head up display in
this vehicle that'll show your speed posted speed limit if this was a year u.s spec car and your
driver's systems that you're using at that moment on to the infotainment this is the upgraded 10
inch display but you get a standard 8.25 inch display in the gti so again you know just an
amalgamation of different options that we have equipped in this one and so here if you want
quick access to the climate control settings you can just tap these which work pretty darn
well if you want to just slide you can increase temperature adjustments more readily this works
well but it's still not as easy to use as just a knob or a dial so if you're driving you may
want your passenger to adjust these for you if you don't have a passenger then just learn
this system well before you start driving you can tap this and bring up the full climate
menu or hit the clama klima clima button here and you can adjust where the air is going
to go you've got some smart climate settings air purification and then going back
to climate first setting for a sec you can increase or decrease your temp here as
well and turn on and off your seat heating in one of three stages i'm gonna make sure that goes off
because i don't want that on a hot day like today back to the main screen of the infotainment
you can drag up and down to get through these different icons this layout is very user friendly
easy to learn you can drag this down and you can punch in your home address to quickly go there
if you have navigation equipped or turn on and off the start stop system drag it back up you've
got radio telephone navigation vehicle settings we'll go into that one because this one has a lot
more going on again if you want the full in depth go ahead and watch my walk around video but this
will give you a quick status if you go to vehicle you can swipe through these different
options one more this is going to be an important setting go ahead into brakes and
this will be your traction control system whether you want it on off or in sport so you
got that for the exterior and the interior going back home we can get here to background
so you've got a 30 different color ambient light system as standard in the gti you can
set mood lighting here or go into individual and program the two different contours of light
so you've got a level up here and a level down here and that will show both in the front and the
back it looks really cool at night i'll show you some some footage of that and you've got all these
different light selections you can have them be a single color or have this split kind of even or
with a little split in the center or top down so it's it's cool how you can reconfigure
this very easy to use a lot of different adjustments to customize the vehicle for you you
can turn on and off which assist systems you want just by clicking it it's cool how they did this
layout so you know exactly what you're turning on and off just hit that if i want emergency
braking on a late response early response so on and so forth easy to use this system still
wish there were some more button redundancies and down here you've got your menu selection
parking assistance if you choose to have this one has parking assist equipped with parking
sensors that's an option on u.s spec cars here are your different drive modes you've
got eco one more time eco comfort sports and individual and in individual you can hit
this icon here and set up your if you have it the dynamic chassis control the uh basically the
adaptive dampers your steering feel the drive the engine respond or the sound how how quickly
the adaptive cruise control will try to catch up to a gap in traffic i like that
you can adjust that that's cool moving on down here the buttons i showed you we
have two usb-c ports up there and this one has the optional wireless smartphone charging i like
this it looks like it's just eating your phone um give me your phone i got it this is that same
soft plastic material that's here on the doors your engine start stop button will pulse at
you red until you actually get in and press the start stop button in the car park button is a
button and then look at this little nugget shifter so you can't have a manual of course and i
think that would just look better here because this is just so tiny just a little guy you get
used to it very quickly and it's easy to use reverse here's your backup camera that's where
you turn on the parking assist if you want that neutral just a half click back drive and
then if you pull back one more time you enter sport powertrain nothing on here changes
to indicate that you're in sport powertrain all you do is go from d to an s on the gauge
cluster i wish something else showed you that you were in sport not just drive e-brake
pull up on that and then you do have an auto hold button thankfully this slot has a rubberized
material on the bottom maybe it holds your key or just like i did have passively throw it in the
cup holders where you've got one that'll hold your beverage in tighter or you know maybe
it'll fit a bigger bottle we'll have to see and then this one is awkwardly shaped back there
you've got a dc socket in here i already showed you the two usbc's there let's look at the key
because this is actually pretty cool it's got the same kind of black rubberized material as you find
here on the steering wheel so that's on the front with the volkswagen logo and on the back and
so you can depress it to hit in on your unlock your lock and your trunk release it's got the
shiny bordering it actually feels and looks pretty high-end i like that in the center console
pretty small here you see i've got a usbc cord because though this has wireless apple carplay
and we'll have it here in the us it's not working because the wi-fi system isn't working on this
european model so i had to plug it in but i'll show you some footage of the apple carplay
system it was pretty responsive and did its job glove box over here first of all we
can just check out that the air vents are kind of this continuous line with
this brushed plastic finish looks cool under here all hard plastic just
like under the steering wheel good sized glove box in there no complaints about
that oh i didn't mention that the steering wheel is mainly adjustable let me zoom out real quick
and has a good amount of telescope and tilt and then looking up we've got a mild
border on this rear view mirror your light controls are just touch that's cool your
sun visors very plain kind of not great feeling fabric material on the outside of that you do
get an led vanity light for your mirror and they don't slide very unfortunate because
that's a big gap there for sun to get through grab handles just hard plastic there and now let's
hop into the back seats and see we've got going on real quick before we look in the back you can
see this one has factory window tint which looks fantastic with the white paint i just don't
know if it's gonna be an option for us spec cars i hope it is looking in the back we've
got the same scale paper plaid fabric seats this is not injection molded like the front this
is hard plastic and we don't have that trim like the front the scale designs we do have the fabric
in here and for the armrests soft plastic and one touch windows that don't go all the way down not
like an aggressive amount that's still left up but i wish they did go all the way down same solid
feel to the door handles hard plastic down here soft fabric for the liner on
the door pocket and let's hop in that's my driving position at six feet tall
you can see i have a good amount of knee room the foot pockets are nice and tall so i can
slide my feet under real easy and we've got lots of pockets on the seat back this one here
your kind of standard one and then we've got two for perhaps smartphones or even small tablets
to fit in there third zone of climate control here that is an option you're only going to see on
autobahn trim us spec cars here it is in kind of this mishmash european model two more usb-c ports
down there that's clutch so we've got four usb-c ports plus wireless smartphone charging all your
passengers will have ways to charge their devices this is neat looking around plenty of space in the
back seat of the gti we've got a center console that comes down with cup holders and it's also a
center pass-through you got skis or a snowboard that's going to come in handy and
i've got plenty of headroom as well very important to fit full size adults you just
want to see the middle seat i'll show it to you all right i can fit even with the head
room that's impressive they've done a lot with packaging of people back
here now let's check out that trunk where as i mentioned the
volkswagen logo is your release this also pops up to show you the backup camera looking at the trunk i'll list the cargo space fairly generous at being a hatchback
backpack for scale we do have an led light back here to illuminate what you're
doing in the trunk 12 volt dc socket there you've got some hooks for your grocery bags on
the left and right hand side along with some latch points there and here under here you will normally
find your spare tire none on this euro spec model if you wanted to take off this ooh
soft feeling cargo cover you can just by pulling off these and that will
really expose all of your available space and it's also going to make it a lot easier
to reach back here and push down the seats but it's nice that you can do that you don't
have to go to the side and push down the seats you can do it from the trunk look at all that
usable space the practicality of a hatchback gotta love it here it shows you where
to grab on the tailgate to close it very easy to do give you a quick
peek at the rear with the seats down almost flat now before we go driving we have two last things to do and if you know
the channel you know what they are all right fine three we have to close the door
it's time for the big bottle test will it fit in the 22 volkswagen golf gti trying the cup holders
first awkwardly shaped one first nope this one oh okay all right it can move but it doesn't come
out that counts that's one spot center console there's junk but whatever it's you can see it's
not even close to deep enough to fit a big bottle still one spot door pocket what you got for us oh so clean so clean don't even need the door test two spots two spots in the 22 volkswagen
golf gti it's a pass of the big bottle test and with that i'll ask that if you've been
enjoying the video please like comment and share it maybe subscribe to the channel that'd
be awesome and now let's go into sport mode and rev it out soft limit just below 4000 and take it for a drive now because we have the seven speed dual clutch
automatic gearbox we also get launch control and of course we're going to start out by using that
we just need to do some prep first so let's go to mode sport and then as i showed you during the
interior walk around we have to go to vehicle brakes and then turn the electronic
stability control system off i wish this was an easier process look at all the
redundancies i wish this was easier by just having a button somewhere on the center console
that you press and hold to turn that off but alas you got to go through the menu and now we just
go to drive and we'll get up to our staging area now the launch is actually pretty simple
after you've gone through those steps you don't have to hit another
button or anything like that you just put your foot hard on that brake pedal
give it gas it's active let it build up and go fighting for traction oh
hesitation and there it is now that was pretty wild uh because you
got a lot of power going to the front wheels and so it's still fighting
for traction just like if you had a rear wheel drive car with tons of power trying
to do a launch it's the same deal it's not an all-wheel drive vehicle but what was wild
about that to me is i'm just remembering my 07 gti and a hard launch like that yes
you didn't have launch control back then but a hard launch like that the wheel would have
been going nuts with torque steer and it was just dead on yes not having it connected to the front
axle is is the cause for that but it's just it's still crazy to me you could do a hard launch and
just keep the wheel perfectly pointed straight oh man pretty cool so let's talk about that
engine 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder that they cranked up the boost for this new
generation 4.3 bar so now it makes just over 26 psi of boost and that translates to
horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque that is 13 horsepower more and 17 pound-feet
of torque more than last year's car and so therefore if you do launch perfectly right i you
know i think probably more prep was necessary of getting the tires warm then car driver says you
can get to 60 in just 5.1 seconds now i'm gonna go and make the esc in sport mode so they don't
need it off completely as we get into some corners oh that peak torque comes in from just 400 rpm and when it builds up man this car gets moving peak power sets in at 5000 rpm and
hangs on until the red line of 6500 how about that turning radius though oh that required way more of the road surface
to turn around than i expected back on the power how about this hoop the brakes nice initial
bites very sharp steering lights and so accurate this is a variable ratio steering rack so
when doing things like this it requires less lock to get the car to turn and i like it this
vehicle does have the optional dynamic chassis control to get the adaptive dampers that they've
fiddled with even more for this eighth generation and now they respond to changes in the road
surface 200 times per second that's wild to me and now in their firmest setting the ride is
yeah it's firm they increase the spring rates in addition to fiddling with that dcc and it's it's
taut that is the word that comes to mind very taut over the road surface but i like this i like that
it's this firm you feel very connected to the car and it helps the vehicle change
direction much more urgently implantedly now how about this seven speed dual clutch i've
just been letting it do its thing in automatic mode and i have zero complaints the shifts
are very quick and it gives me the gear i want immediately but let's try manual mode there is no
manual mode button on the center console so you just pull a paddle now the difference between
this pulling paddle versus other systems is it'll stay in manual mode until you go back to
normal drive where so many others are just like yeah okay you're done with manual mode if you've
not been accelerating hard for a couple seconds this one it won't do that since the time of my introduction to the dsg transmission in my 07 gti i've been impressed
with this gearbox and it just keeps getting better the moment you pull the paddle it's shifting there i was going too fast to shift down
a second but that up shift is really quick still not quite as quick as
like porsche's pdk system but for a 30 000 vehicle this is impressive
stuff and i mean this car gets moving 241 horsepower 273 pound-feet of
torque may not sound like a ton but when you're only moving
3 100 pounds it's plenty this car is 28 pounds lighter than the last
generation thanks to a new aluminum subframe and while 28 pounds isn't a ton the fact that
you're getting more power and less weight is just a winning combination the sound
of that engine is raspy it's strained and i like it i like this soundtrack how
much of it is being piped into the cabin i don't know i don't really care though it's good now we need to do some really tight twisty corners
so let's go back to auto in the transmission and focus on changing direction volkswagen's
made a pretty crazy claim with this new gti and that is that they've effectively eliminated
understeer with their electronic limited slip differential in the front and the reason they can
say that man this is good the reason they can sit the reason they can say that
and i can't say anything is because it's a variable electronic limited
slip differential so unlike typical mechanic locking diffs it doesn't just completely shunk
power left to right like in one movement which would fiddle in with the steering and so
it's not going to behave naturally neutrally this one's variable so we can kind of just usher
as much power as needed to the wheel that has the most traction when you need it and so it's a much
more natural feel as the car changes direction and it doesn't plow the front end and
i mean from what i just experienced it definitely doesn't feel like it
under steers but more testing is needed downhill real test for the brakes
so good turn in power on feed it in part again that's the thing about a front-wheel drive car
you really can't do anything too terribly dumb not that i'm trying to this is tons of fun tons of fun going back
to manual mode because i want that control holy cow i mean they make the claim and they stand up to it do not feel understeer from this hot hatchback which is just a
character trait of these cars typically i just feel movement momentum i really want to do this all day the brakes the steering the power it's fantastic now let's go back to auto mode and
then move into something more subdued like comfort this will be a good test for that dcc how do the
dampers feel when it's supposed to be comfortable and this is a fairly smooth road so they're
getting the benefit of that but even on a smooth surface like this you can feel the car remains
tight it remains tight you can feel the ripples in the road still in comfort mode and while
even in sport it was never truly harsh it's even less so in comfort let's just
see let's go for some lane markings yeah you can hear them you can feel the
bumps but they're definitely not punishing it's a good suspension system and the throttle
tip-in has eased up quite a bit here in comfort mode the steering much more loose yet yet still
precise and the cabin insulation is about what i'd expect at this price point there's some wind noise
on these 19-inch wheels there's some road noise but it's totally fine that's kind of
the volkswagen thing that's their angle with the gti it's like hey we know we've got
competitors but ours is is german it's it's built better they say and you know what it feels pretty
darn solid to me and speaking of solid speaking of smooth that's where you can make a case for
the dsg gearbox because i'm the kind of person that always wants to say go get the manual
transmission but i haven't tripped the new one my last experience with the gti's manual
for this last generation the mark 7 was not thrilling it it felt something like a
slush box and so while yes there's that extra point of engagement with the manual unless it's
really pulling you into the driving experience i say why not get a fantastic seven speed like this
one yeah it's gonna cost you an extra 800 bucks but it doesn't really rob you of the thrills of
driving the gti because it's so good i want to reference the fact that the gti comes standard
with all the active safety features that i mentioned in the interior walk around and they're
all fantastic i had a good amount of time on highways to test out the adaptive cruise control
the lane keep the system what they call travel assist and it worked flawlessly one you can keep
your hands off the wheel for like like 30 seconds i was experiencing but it's perfectly centered
in the lane and the adaptive cruise is not abrupt as i mentioned you can set how quickly it
wants to catch up to cars in front of it it's just a really well sorted system and the fact that it's
a standard feature is pretty darn nice that and i think blind spot monitoring of your cross traffic
and all those other good good safety features as standard is a real asset at this price point what
is that price point so the gti is going to come in base level s trim at 30 500 here to the us by
the end of this year if you want a well-equipped se model that's going to be off 35 000 and
the autobahn from the full range topping one is going to be just under 39 000 so nowhere near
you know the european estimate i was giving you for this car of what forty eight thousand i told
you it's not a direct translation so here in the us those are going to be our price points i didn't
mention the fuel economy for this vehicle and i've been watching the fuel gauge just completely
diminish as i've been driving it aggressively but the fuel economy is actually not that
bad not as much as this would suggest it's 24 city 32 highway and 30 combined let's
uh 28 combine i apologize let's compare that to what we get in vehicles like the hyundai veloster
and that's probably going to be the most direct rival to the gti as it currently stands that car
starts at 33 250 for the dual clutch in that one it's going to make 275 horsepower it will get to
60 a bit quicker than this 4.8 seconds tops out at the same 155 miles per hour and it gets just
20 combined mpg 22 combined mpg then we have a duo from honda you've got the honda civic si
if you're on a budget that's 26 000 it makes 205 horsepower gets 60 much slower at 6.3 seconds and
the fuel economy for that one is great it's like 30 combined mpg then we have the honda civic
type r that one if you got a little more cash at 38 000 it's the most expensive car we'll
discuss here but it also makes the most power at 306 horsepower gets to 60 almost as quick as the
uh hyundai veloster and at 4.9 seconds i believe and the top speed is the highest at 169 miles per
hour the fuel economy can't remember off the top of my head we'll be sure to have that in the specs
and then there is a sedan just like honda civic si it's the subaru wrx and that is going to start at
28 000 it'll make 268 horsepower it'll get to 60 in 5.2 seconds so just a bit slower than the gti
and the top speed is 144 miles per hour so lower which of these vehicles do i think you should buy
the answer to that question really comes down to two things budget and body style
actually i guess both go together because if you're limited by budget
to thirty thousand dollars it's the si or the depuy rx and if you like the
sedan body style it's one of those two as well the si for 26 grand is a heck of a car it's
so much fun to drive i like how it looks and i'm excited to see what the new generation civic
sedan is going to look like with the si treatment the subaru wrx the performance for the money
28 grand and getting that much power and that quick of acceleration and the confidence of the
all-wheel drive system is also a heck of a bargain if you're not committed to that body style or if
you're not locked into that budget it's the gti lost iran or the civic type r to address the
most expensive first the civic type r manual only such a fun car to drive i had a chance to
throttle it on track and it did not disappoint but you have to get over the way it looks maybe the
new generation is going to look more calmly more mature but this one as it currently sits is a boy
racer which is fun but not if you have to go to a business meeting or or anything where people have
to really respect you the veloster and yet another one i had a chance to really wrangle on track
and albert biermann x bmw m development head his engineering prowess really shined through on
that car they did their homework and it delivered in a performance environment i felt like it was
actually kind of too stiff to drive on the road however and something about the three-door formula
and it's just i mean lack of inherent practicality as a daily driver kind of niggled me a little
bit and the fact that it's three grand more to start than the gti the gti this new one looks
fantastic outside and in i i have some issues with the infotainment it's too sensitive i
want more physical controls i want a physical control for the esc and i would like something
a bit more substantial for my drive selector but those issues aside i have effectively no
complaints when it comes to this car's performance it really thrills and at 30 grand to start
it's a little more expensive than the wrx but it i think it's worth it i really do
the added practicality i love the hot hat shape and formula i'm impressed by this car and
i hope you guys are too and i hope you enjoyed this in-depth review and until next time i'm
i'm going to a stop like come on again really really wait sport mode wait three two one
until next time accelerate see you guys later.
