2019 VW GTI Review – DSG vs Manual, GTI vs Everything

Correction: The DSG GTI does indeed have launch control. We did try to use it but it didn't work for some reason. But it does have it, as we confirmed with Volkswagen Canada

DSG all day.

Wtf…

Where is it 0 100 , or drag race , or time on track ? .

I wonder if car reviewers are doing it for the public or for themselves…

“Deckle?” Seriously? You’ve gotta be kidding me.

I have to say, I’m not the world’s biggest fan of the Golf, but I can’t imagine getting a Veloster N over the Golf even with the added performance. Honestly, as time goes on, I agree with the opinions on this show less and less. Yuri’s determination to complain was a little annoying in this video, but I can get over individual videos with opinions I don’t like. The general trend, though, has been more and more dislike of late.

Please stop doing the 360 camera shots. They’re so crunchy and ugly compared to the incredibly good shots you get otherwise. It’s like mixing RED footage with GoPro clips. Go back to the good stuff.

DO THE JETTA ALREADY!!! THE GLI! Please i'd love it you guys! I'm surprised you ahven't done it yet!

To many VW fanboys that’s why they chose the GTI over the N

Throw on a ECU tune, DSG tune, and street tires and you will roast it. Have fun and drive safely!

Your hatred for the Edge ST always makes me wonder if you would have hated the Edge Sport. I own a 2015 Edge Sport and many of the things you hate about it don't exist in the 15-18 Sport. Normal shifter, "Sport Mode" doesn't change the pumped in audio, 6-speed acts like a normal transmission as opposed to the odd 8-speed. I like the updated exterior appearance of the refresh, but the interior did not change at all. Just some food for thought. Keep up the great work.

GTI's best for tuning

From someone who has owned both a Manual and DSG MK7 GTI…

1.) The DSG is faster than the manual in the GTI, not just the Golf R. They are wrong.
2.) Yuri has no idea what he is talking about saying DSG is boring… while he is ECO mode. That automatically invalidates his opinion of the DSG.
3.) Jacob is wrong. The DSG does also have launch control. At least in the US it does.

Really annoying they are giving out so much inaccurate information.

rip to hyundai's N-Line, basically Veloster N or nothing xD

Honestly I don't care how good the Hyundai is, the VW is such a nice car, I drove a 2016 GTI a few years ago, great place to be (the interior) I would take the GTI over the N.
