The man was fired flat out because Discovery thought he was too old, yet he drives better than most reviewers I've seen less than half his age (plus he inspires me as it makes me feel I can still have fun when I get to his years). Stupid move, Discovery. You got rid of a legend for flat out ageism. THIS VIDEO WAS EPIC!

Still having to rely on Tiff to drum up views, even after letting him go, I see

Ah, the good old days.... back when Fifth Gear was worth watching.

BRING BACK TIFF

Probably a fantastic everyday car, I'd imagine. Still, it's amazing that Tiff can deliver this sort of honest conclusion to a car as important as this in 2021. What a legend he is.

Love Tiff these clips are awesome

Always pleasure to watch Mr Tiff.

He's so legendary, you got rid of him. :-(

i love how you guys get to repost Tiff clips and he doesn't get any money from it after you fired him

I have VW Golf 6 and still, I am proud of it. I have never seen a car like that it runs like a plane, so smooth and full of power. Handing & stability control is brilliant.

Most GTIs will be daily drivers for motorway commute, driving to the shops and occasionally hammering on a b-road that is why they are great cars because do everything well. Plug in a laptop and 300+ bhp along with reprogramming ESC, etc

So on the road hes got DSG, on the track it's a manual. All exterior shots is the manual (same plates atleast) and the sound is from DSG. Nice editing ;)

Incredible Tiff. And eight years before, I still love my mk7 Gti. And 25 years before, still love my mk2 Gti 16v. I don't understand why some people hate it.

Mark 5 golf seems the like best one, still to this day, love tiff he is the best most entertaining car presenter/Journalist ever!!

You can fully disable the stability control with third party tools that fiddle with the onboard computer settings

I had a MK 5 GTI which was a fantastic car. I sold it to a friend when it had 290,000 km on the dial. He still has it now with 400,000 km on the dial. 🥶Cheers!

Great cinematography.

Congrats on 912k subs

You are the very best presenter ever, Tiff!!! 👏🏻🤩

Smart move firing Tiff because not only does he know how to drive but also how to present the good/bad sides of a car and who wants that these days. Give whoever fired this man a raise !!

Limited slip Tiff 😎

Give Tiff he’s Job back 5th gear went dead because it wasn’t keeping things fresh not because of Tiff he was the show the Clarkson of the show great Tv presenter bring him back and make the show fresh then it will be better then Top gear nick Chris Harris 😂 then it’s on to a winer 🥂👏🏾👍🏾👊🏽

I would listen to this guy even if he was a woodworker or a welder. He just has a manner of speaking that makes you want to listen. I loved the old Fifth Gear shows.

You let go of him and then bring up his old stuff…

Had an mk7 for 5 years. Awesome car

Awesome! Golf for ever!

These cars really spring to life after you add an aftermarket downpipe and a tune.

Thanks 👍

Car manufacturers are in a bind when it comes to the safety programs in the cars. In some countries they are required to be able to be sold in some parts of the world. It would be nice to be able to turn it off, and I am sure there is some way to do so, for 99.9% of people buying these Golf's??? Needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few when it comes to pinching pennies.😎Great car though.

Tiff looks the same now as he did back then.

The Gti, is a very great hot hatch, i love this show, but don't play on velocity...

That first one isn’t a performance pack

What hot hatch does give him the excitement he is looking for?

Hopefully you are compensating Tiff for using this clip...

Wish it was a MKII GTI :(

Wait, yall fired my mans?? Eff yall forreal.

Might be better to get it chipped than pay the money for the performance pack

I always wonder if they hold the traction button down and completely turn it off lol

Bring him back, it was a mistake to let him go

The Golf with it’s throwaway engine. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Sorry, mk2 GTI... best one.

Unpopular opinion, but I can see why fifth gear got rid of Tiff. He was too focused on track rather than road focused reviews. Especially when you can actually fully disable the ESP if you hold the button down for 5 seconds.

VW is the best car industry ever.

It's the blame game.... someone buys a car and crashes it then sues the manufacturer because they didn't provide enough protection..... that's why now you can't fully turn off all the driver aids.

Is the GTI the fastest, meanest, baddest hot hatch - No. Is it the best - Yes, by a long shot.

Not the newest model

I would suggest that if you want a racing car for the track Tiffney then buy a racing car, don’t expect a Grand touring car to be a hot hothatch when it wasn’t intended to be one. The Gti is top of the pile at what it does.

It's a highway cruiser not a track car. You want a track car, get a Miata or BRZ.

Where you get that gas mileage? 😂

Behold, the VW Nanny GTi

I still can't stand this review. Just because you can't disable traction control completely on the track doesn't mean squat to 99.9% of drivers. The GTI is great because it does many things well. It's a great all-rounder, but he didn't touch on that at all. The only thing frustrating about the car was Tiff's review. That said, Tiff is awesome, and I love to watch his reviews (most of the time).

But yet they get rid of him. What a shambles this program is now.

No real enthusiast with a turbo car is going to keep it stock. So the real question is how does this version respond to mods? Can you get that chassis control switched off in a tune? For all the other customers this is irrelevant. Bring back Tiff.

Just get a R for a few bucks more....

I'm Still Incensed that a Certain Gear Place let Tiff Go . Back stabbers. Prob some young or idiot executive that can barely get a car up & down the road that made the call. ------ BRING BACK TIFF ---------

47 mpg? Hahah yea ok

FWD is like a dog wheelchair.

It's a golf it's an a3 same thing...overpriced on insurance keep putting more power and expensive trash in it goodluck on sales..

This car isn't the performance pack, the GTI badges are silver, not red, so it's the standard GTI

Its kinda sad cars are just made to be driven with assistance. You turn it off amd the car sucks. Thats if you can turn it off.

Mk6 is milesssss better!!! Fact!!!

What a heap of shit. Its a Gti ffs, its not supposed to be nanny state safe -its supposed to be fun and thrilling. Makes me laugh the way these manufactures keep making cars more and more powerful while taking away the experience with all their driver aids (to stop em getting sued). 217 bhp completely pointless coz u cant use it properly. Back in the day 115 did the job coz u were the car not one of Siri or Alexas effing mates

Shameless, fifth gear 🤮

Encouraging hooligan behaviour on the road? Not many will take to the track, so will try to take the car to the limit on the road, without the level of experience needed.

Yeah it's boring garbage lmao

Absolute bollocks, will be watching Chris Harris’ review for a more accurate description of the car’s capability

I stopped watching fifth gear because it’s views are outdated, euro-biased -90’s stereotype driven while never talks about reliability when70% of buyers buy a used vehicle and reliability is of utmost importance. You don’t get reliability from a VW, BMW after 50KMiles. Fact. The golf engine and all tsi tfsi fsi engines will fail even with regular driving style. A Honda Civic will have its first oil leak when a golf goes through an engine replacement and half the market-value.

TOO MUCH TECHNOLOGY!!!! OLD GTIS WERE WAY BETTER.
