The new (2019 and up) GLI shares all these same internal goodies with a slightly longer (more stable) wheelbase. So if you prefer a trunk to a hatchback you can get this same driving experience in a sedan variation. The VAQ system in conjunction with the DCC system makes these cars very fun and exciting to drive at any speed. With these systems these cars corner like no other.

No it doesnt, but muricans like their DSGs because they dont know how to shift (and as we all know, Type R only comes as manual). Also, golfs are everywhere, at least in Europe, I can spit through a window and hit at least 2 GTDs and 2 GTIs. Its like: I want a hot hatch, i dont know how to shift, I should get something that everyone drives because F*** being different, I should get a GTI. Ok so after all this rant, GTIs are not that bad, they are just not that fun comparing them to ST or Type R. If you are going from a normal car to a hot hatch, Golf can look great, but you should test drive the others just to see the difference. In my opinion, they are nothing special. They are like a second place forever. There is nothing amazing about them, but they arent boring either.

The Mazdspeed3 has equal length driveshafts. They specifically extended a shaft from the passenger side of the differential to a carrier bearing to make the length of the two main shafts equal and tuned their torsional stiffness to reduce torque steer present from having a mechanical limited slip differential and the typical scrub radius issues of a FWD platform. With an electronic diff like VW and the Ford Focus ST, you will not get torque steer because the diff cannot apply equal torque to each tire and instead relies on the ABS system to control wheel spin and power bias with the brakes. Torque steer is your friend because it means your actual LSD, rather than electronic simulation of an LSD, is functioning.

I own a 6 MT drove both DSG 6 speed and 7 speed they are good transmission but they are heavier cars you can feel it. Also with 6 MT you can get up to 70 to 75mph on second gear DSG will constantly shift up a couple of gears. Why do I day this on pulls being able to get to 70 or 75 mph on second is nice. Also 6 MT I find to be more engaging.

Im just gonna throw this out there. The FWD Dodge intrepid (I know, not a very Lovable car but making a point) came with a transaxle setup that had equal length axles (due to the setup) that made it have absolutely no torque steer. I know the intrepid's engine bay is bigger and the V6 engine is turned (like a RWD) but they fixed the Torque Steer problem a long time ago. Plus this transaxle transmission is strong enough that it's used in some 500+hp V8 Dune buggies.

MCmudkip p The gti has had this since late 2013 when the Mk7 went on sale in Europe for the 2014 model year. The latest type r came out in 2017. The cool thing about the type r is that it does this with a little over 300 hp. The limited gti clubsport s also achieved it at 300hp but came out even earlier in 2016.

As a fairly new 2018 GTI Autobahn owner, I decided to do a little extra research. Here's what I found: --On the VAQ-- All MK7.5 models (2018+), being that they come with the performance pack (PP), have this VAQ system installed by default. I have it in mine and it is phenomenal. If the car does not have the PP installed (for earlier models, say 2015 & 2016 here in the US), then it comes with an XDS system, which is not an actual LSD. It's more of a brake-vectoring system. Models with the PP have this system as well (the XDS+) that works in tandem with the VAQ LSD. --On the DSG-- The DSG system found in the 2019 and 2020 models has 7 gears. Earlier models (

The GTI is probably one of my favorite hatchbacks ever. It’s perfect in my eyes. My favorite thing about it though is how VW sells it. All 4 trim levels have the same engine. 230hp, whether it’s $25,000 or $33,000. Higher trims get more luxuries sure, but I don’t *need* a sunroof.
