I like how unbiased you were in this assessment. You state that you’re personally not a fan of hatchbacks or FWD cars, yet you still give the GTI plenty of compliments. Great video

My 2011 has been an up and down relationship lmao. Two water pumps, timing chain tensioner, headliner, driver side door card falling off. Still only 84K miles. Almost paid off so I’ll keep it till dies. Three door version, also had a 2011 5 door. Konig Hypergrams are def need for this car

channel growing. love to see it

At around 3:20 just a correction, the mk6 Golf R uses the motor from the mk5 GTI (FSI), belt driven, forged internals. The mk6 GTI uses the TSI motor, chain driven.

To agree with your point, if you don’t like tinkering with things and working on your car, this car will be a nightmare to own and cost a fortune. If you just want something you sit in and drive Honda or Toyota are your best bets, however, this is an enthusiast’s car, and the payoff for owning it is that it’s super fun to drive. Fast, handles great, and has a solid feel behind the wheel. Tuned they are very powerful but know that by pushing it you will likely make it less reliable. Gaskets will go, things will break but the main components hold up well, but don’t miss your service intervals or you will be sorry.

ayeee let’s go thanks bro

I got a mk5 for 5k USD & it was apr tuned. Other than the water pump going out and the fuses blowing sometimes. Thing has been reliable for 20k miles.

Great video. I just bought my MK6 GTI two weeks ago. Trying to figure out which direction I want to go with it as far as upgrades and changes.

“I’d rather go for the mk4 GTI” yea like IM gonna find plenty of those in my area 😬 how fun. Good video btw

Yep these things cost a fortune. I have a cc which is basically the same platform as the mk6 gti only had the car for 6 months and have already paid over a thousand in repairs and just recently last month had a engine failure due to the timing chain going bad, that’ll probably be another 2-3k. These cars are very fun especially when tuned and Im in love with mine but definitely not in love with the cost. Already replaced water pump twice, replaced ignition coils and spark plugs, replaced camshaft sensor, now I’m on the way to most likely having to do a head job on the engine. Though I did buy it used with 120,000 miles and the previous owners seemed to be quite neglectful. If you have one of these especially the ea888 engine KEEP UP WITH MAINTENANCE PLEASE

Two type of cars i love in this world VW golfs and Honda Civic's type R

my mk6 still in the shop been 4 weeks new timing chain, new water pump, new head gaskets, hydraulic lifters , ko4 turbo, and they still figure out why its ticking. I miss my baby!!!

its a reach saying its civic level of reliability but its indeed one of the more reliable german platforms. when it does break be ready for expensive parts and specialty tools though.

GTIs are good cars. The perfect balance between performance and comfort. While other sporty cars sacrifice the comfort for the performance, the GTI doesn't. Sure, it's not the fastest thing out there, but it's just fast enough. And if you want it fast, you can always tune and mod it.

GENISIS COUPE!!!!!!!

I have 2012 mkvi gti . I’m 1st owner believe me I never take repair shop for fix bc this car not broken just basic repair and maintenance I do my self.I want to buy new car but I can’t say goodbye for her 🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗

Mark V had a R too r32 With a V6

the golf has a ko4

The golf 6 R and s3 8P its same car

Hey I’m get my license next ur and I still don’t know what to get

Its basically a German honda civic

Love my mark 6 If you don’t like them don’t drive them lmao. What’s the best car?? None because they all eventually break down

R and gti haven't the same same engine

@mk6doom used ur vids

Idk why people always think the Gti is that special, it's a Golf, it's not a different car it's a golf with a sport package. So ofc everyone thinks about the Golf when they think about VW since it made VW big. The Golf Gti was built in Germany/Europe like every other VW. The gti isn't a good car anymore compared to It's price, it's the same as all the jdm cars, they were once really good cars and since they were hyped VW produced more and more of them. The Golf R isn't viable as daily driver btw, uses way too much fuel, sure you could say the Honda Civic R is also a good daily driver but it's not

Mom's basement.

Under 10k for more than 100k miles lol

This should be a mk5/mk6 gbu..same car.
