The VW GTI is heralded as the original hot hatch. With so much competition chomping at its heels now from Hyundai, Honda, and others, I check it out to see if it still retains its crown...

Took the plunge into VW ownership with the 2020 GLI. Lifetime Toyota owner so wanted to find out first hand if the quality and reliability issues are as rumored. Live the GTI and when driving back to back with the GLI, pretty darn close. GTI interior definitely nicer.

You made an awesome choice with the new GLI. Driving dynamics are for sure amazing! I too am a VW Owner. I haven't reviewed it just yet, but I will very very soon! Thanks for watching!

Another great POV review, Chad! I've always really digged the proportions of the Golf!! And, of course, I LOVE the GTI even more. Once you add on all the extra goodies that the GTI spec brings to the Golf, you have one sweet little hot hatch. 💯 Those rims are so sleek and that interior has aged rather nicely over the years. Also, based off of your commentary, it seems like a joy to drive. All in all, the GTI seems like a very well-rounded package (both new and on the used market). Keep it up, Chad! Looking forward to what you have coming up next. 👍🏼

It was such a blast to drive! I was fortunate enough to record this one in your home state of Florida (Miami to be exact)! The weather, mixed with the drive of the car was a blend I won't soon forget!

Good pick / selection of car to review. Many VW enthusiasts pondering 2-3 year used market and I'm one of them. The price point value or "bang for your buck" of slightly used VW's is undeniable and while 6-speed manuals are appealing the DSG-DCT wins every time. Embrace it, DSG-DCT is that good. For reference, I have owned 3 GM LS1/2 6-speed manuals. Good review(er) & product! Appropriate rate of speech, calm and cool tone.

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate the love and that you appreciate the video!! But you're right, the DSG is an amazing piece of technology, and honestly its terrific that VW caters to both sides of the enthusiasts with either transmission that you choose!! And price to fun ratio can't be beat with a GTI. Again, I appreciate u watching!

I’m a fan of the subcompact/hatch performance group. Strong and loyal Honda fan so by nature I’m biased towered the Germans. But THIS right here would be one of the FEw German vehicles I would consider driving

It's honestly an amazing driving car. It's one that makes you truly appreciate it once you drive it!
