That engine sound is one of the best. Love 5 cylinders. You always do a great video man, the kind I like to watch....just the car driving...the engine note, shifting, etc. Nice work 🙌🏼
I live in saudi arabia and have this car. Quite possibly the best car I’ve ever experienced throughout my life and it doesn’t break. It just passed 340,000 km and now it’s in the shops and i quite miss it. Truly a masterpiece.
@@Desynccc I’m just guessing, but I’m pretty sure I drive a faster and better car than you, make more money than you, and live in a nicer place than you. I’m gonna guess, you drive a Hyundai? Want to meet up and get absolutely gapped?
@@koruptedwolf6579 Love it. It does have its stupid small hiccups every now and then, yet again that’s how it goes with VWs. Other than that, I’ve been extremely happy with the car. Almost 80,000 miles. It’s been driven a lot and has done the job without too much complaint. VW did a great job with that car. I didn’t care too much about it until I test drove the 1.8T. Fell madly in love with it.
Also, I don’t recommend putting aftermarket wheels unless you wanna deal with getting them balanced correctly. It’ll be a long journey. Stick to factory wheels if you can.
For anybody who thinks the 3rd gear is weird, the torque converter locks up when warmed up and shifts into 3rd. That explains the pause and exaggerated rpm difference.
I got T-boned in my 2012 Mazda 3 a few days ago, and I’m fairly certain it’s totaled. I think I’m going to try and pick one of these up as a replacement. This is an incredible car for 2013, and for its current price.
I couldn't afford the SE model, so I have the S model with the Appearance package and it having the same 2.5L V5 engine, it definitely has a very responsive but comfortable quiet ride. I'm still very impressed with it after all these years. :) I read somewhere that VW owned Lamborghini during this time and decided to take the V10 out of the Gallardo and use 5 cyclinders in the Jetta and 5 cylinders in the Passat which explains the excellent performance response from this 5 cylinder engine.
I have this car, amazing vehicle I always get compliments on it, but be warned things break fairly simply on it as a lot of the interior components are plastic
I have lots of respect for their design studio, in and out VWs are instantly recognizable, always evolution never revolution, always pleasure to drive but even though tempted i am not buying anything VW, money and time vampires, only fanboys, fashionistas and people who do dont have to get places on time can deal with them
As much as I want to disagree with your statement about not buying them you’re not entirely wrong. I don’t fully agree with the whole “only VW fanboys buy them,” but usually yeah going to get one is a hassle. Is it like every VW dealerships mission to make it as hard as possible to buy one? lol
They're still on the road, they've just been reprogrammed to emit less pollution. I own one as a daily driver and I wouldn't trade it in for nothing! I only wish VW still sold diesels in America.
You should do a POV test drive on a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe AWD mid-size SUV with the 3.5 L V6 engine, 276 horsepower and the six-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift capability next. They are excellent vehicles in the used Korean market right now.
If you want to review my 2006 Jetta 2.5 just ask. Has the same engine and transmission but is lighter in weight. Also its a special OEM color that I personally never seen on any other Jetta.
@@Jordanball-ib3iw with a username like that, I highly doubt you've driven any kind of Taycan. If you have, your attitude is so pathetically immature, you certainly didn't deserve to and are a stain to the brand.
@@bradleyscarreviews haha if the kid lives to try to impress strangers on the internet now and nobody calls him out for it, he'll be doing the same crap at 25 but will be drowning in credit card debt to keep up with the illusion. Better to teach the lesson now than later!
when driving and automatic car, you dont use left foot never ! For break and gas we have to use only right foot same as manual cars. The driver on this video uses left foot every time, this is not right. Some new drivers are watching this guy's feet for learning maybe.
