I agree with your estimation, but you would have convinced your audience better if you’d captured how glorious the engine sounds, the single element that placed it head and shoulders above anything else from the era.

There was nothing in the 90s that sounded as amazing as a vr6. May have not Been the fastest hot hatch but the refinement and how exclusive it was being a 2.8 was just unbelievable for that era

I was a VW salesman in 1995 and I fell in love with the 95 VW GTI VR6 sitting in our showroom and bought it! The VW manufacturer reps would come into our dealership and I'd talk with them about the GTI VR6. They told me that there was only 1500 GTI VR6's made and none of them had automatic transmissions. As a musician who played the drum kit every weekend, my GTI VR6 perfectly carried me and my drum kit to every gig. The most beautiful thing about the GTI VR6 was the perfectly tuned sound of the factory settings on the whole drive train package as this machine cruised down the road. And what I mean by that is this, the sound of the engine and stock exhaust was perfectly "in tune" with the guitar tuning of every song played on the radio. I don't know if Volkswagen design this sound tuning of the drivetrain on purpose or what. But this car was beautiful and in harmony with whoever drove it especially so with a musician who drove it! I sure do miss that car!

The things not underrated at all. Its got hella rep. Best car I ever owned and you can’t buy a descent one for under 5 grand.

I love mk3 golf vr6

Corrado Vr6 is the daddy

Best of the 90's for me is the Nissan Sunny GTi-R, stock for stock nothing touched it

For the bulk of the last decade the daily has been a 98 VR6, and even dirty and ragged out (you can tell it's loved), there's been countless people at gas/petrol stations saying they regret getting rid of theirs. That reminds me, I gotta finish writing the fogs tonight.

I love my golf this video is gorgeous

I don’t think I have ever seen a golf VR6 before

I had a German spec 1992 VR6, and it looked worlds better than that car. Much different front end from the factory with a lower air dam in the front, sat about an inch lower on factory springs, contrasting black trim rather than body color with Red VR6 logos, 5 spoke wheels and much wider tires, three spoke non-airbag steering wheel to name a few things. It was a lovely car, and the engine noise was the star of the show. It just sounded so good!

Wish i had a VR6 in my mk2.

Prolly one of the best videos I’ve ever watched! The quality and craftsmanship of this video is amazing!🔥

My favourite hot hatch from the 90s has to be between the Honda Civic ek9 type r and the Renault Clio Williams 1

Great video. I had one years ago. The sound of that engine, 💯🤜 I may have to buy another one.

I ad a black one on a R reg it had 18 inch bola alloys on it twin dtm uplifters on the back full stainless steel exhaust and a massive pipercross induction kit.... It sounded like the world woz ending lol..... Loved that car I ad to get rid of it tho.. cuz I owed my mate £3000,for key of weed lol

It is such an underrated car... And let's keep it like this.

Hero of hothatches is the civic ek9 smaller engine than most higher rpm more bhp than most and oh yeah came in a manual

Important MKIII VR6 driver question- Within the next week I've gotta get a new muffler. It's currently running 262 cams, with stainless 3.5 inch exhaust (planned for future turbo). Anybody have insight? It used to have magnaflow which was loud enough that friends always heard it coming and still "quiet" "ish."

Upload more vids 👍🏼

Does it come in automatic transmission

the MK3 just looks ungainly to me. And the engine was wasted in it. However, there many Mk2s with a VR in that are very nice and of course theres the glorious and MASSIVELY underrated Corrado. Made in so few numbers people don’t recognise them, overshadowed by the scirocco which got all the new toys, the Corrado is awesome.

Er, if you can find one.

You just made me cry😢

Underated my ass they are all i hear about

I’d rather a DC2 Integra.

My dad had one it was great. And it was just like that I miss that car. And what’s funny he bought it from a priest.

205 GTI say no more

4:3 in 2019 🤔

The corrado vr6 2.9 was just better, but that was a coupe

A3 3.2 is better in every way and possibly even more underrated

Sorry but Fiat Uno Turbo 1.4 was the best hot hatch of the 90s, I beat Vtecs by many lampposts , Opel 16v, BMW 325i E36,E30, 328i, VR6 was a joke , Gti16v was much slower and a Calibra Turbo, it was standard then I added a bigger turbo and Injectors and ate a 930 turbo and a M3 E36 for supper

Yeah, this video didn't really deliver. Well put together but seems to be completely ad libbed the whole way through script wise! Doesn't give any testament to what a gem that car is/was.

306 gti6 was miles better to drive and as quick in a straight line. On a nice B road the vr6 wouldn't touch the 306 gti not even close. 306 the best hot hatch of the 90s.

Nice engine tho shit looking car

Rover 200 brm or vi was so much better

Very lame clip.

I'm no film maker but 4:3 and faux film burn?! Logo trying desperately hard to imitate Netflix? That's a thumb down from me 🤦🏻‍♂️

If anything, it’s the most overrated hatch, by a long margin 🤦‍♂️

Boring

Honda civic ek hatch is much better 90's hot hatch

What a terrible choice the best is the ek9 it makes 185bhp from a 1.6 vtec the 2.8 vr6 only makes 177bhp which is pathetic im sorry but you couldnt have picked a worst car even the fiat punto gt turbo is a better car
