Great video!! Can’t wait to see you get a manual GTI to review.

Wife has a new '22 GLI 6MT and I have a '19 Golf R with older MIB2 infotainment. I HATE the newer system in the GLI - takes 15-30 seconds to boot up and do anything when the car is started, whereas the old system is instantaneous. The wireless CarPlay is a total PITA - all kinds of glitchy behavior. Rock solid with wired version in my R. Other than that and the annoying rev hang, we're super happy with the GLI.

At 35 mph, I might be in 3rd, dash says "5". Really? Maybe this is done for better mileage, but definitely doesn't do much for the fun factor.

Anyone know if VW is going to updated these infotainment systems soon? Every review shows the laggy response times and, while it wouldn't bother me, I know my wife would consider that a dealbreaker. Disappointing because this seems to have right blend of power (more than Civic Si) and refinement (fun without Elantra N theatrics).

@MadMike17 Год назад

tips for downshifting and upshifting more than one gear at a time? also love the videos, ill never skip a Topher video

@almightyark8403 Год назад

I always skip gears, usually 2-4 or 3-5. Just rev it higher before you shift. So if you normally shift at 3,000 rpm then rev to around 4500 and skip the 2 gears. As for downshifting through multiple gears, just make sure you blip the throttle pretty heavily and be at the proper speed. You don't want to shift to 3rd at 80mph (This depends on vehicles. Every car is different)

@MadMike17 Год назад

@@almightyark8403 thank you for the help, to expand on my question, for example, i’m going 5th gear to 3rd gear. should i ghost shift through 3rd or train myself to know i’m exactly going into 3rd?

@almightyark8403 Год назад

@@MadMike17 Bit confused as to what ghost shifting is. But just clutch in and go into 3rd. Blip throttle before you release (Engage) the clutch and do so smoothly. Don't just dump the clutch, but release smoothly just like any other shift.

@byfedericojimenez Год назад

The biggest pitfall on this car as stock is the stock tires. Swap in Pilot Sports (summer or all season) and the car leaps to another level. It’s a very stiff chasis which makes it a hoot. The dual personality with the adaptive dampers makes it a pleasure to live with. Fun when wanted, misleadingly smooth when you want it.

@WaveManMike Год назад

I just bought one 🔥 Did a review one it too

@stms4411 Год назад

Would be interested to know a couple of things that matter to me and I didn’t hear explicitly called out. 1. Quality of the shifter. Good? Mediocre? Poor? 2. How big does it drive? Do you feel all (nearly) 3,300 lbs of mass or does it feel light on its feet? I didn’t seriously consider this (or the gti) because I wasn’t a fan of having to rely on VW’s build quality and overall reliability. But VWs have usually been fun (owned two different GTIs in the past. I went with an Si and I know it gives up power to this, but has an eagerness to this that I doubt the Jetta can match. It also possesses a first rate shifter. I know you mentioned a Si review is forthcoming, interested to hear any callbacks to compare to this car.

@jackhammer8439 Год назад

I got the DSG (I know, I know. But honestly so happy not having to shift in traffic and construction anymore!). Had mine for 6 months now. I don’t feel the weight. Love the car so far. Couple of very minor things with it but VW have been great at dealing with them. I don’t hate the steering wheel controls as much as most seem to. In fact I haven’t hit one by accident yet as opposed to on my old jetta w traditional button I would hit them a couple times a month. Only real issue for me is how slow the CarPlay is. Feels like 10 seconds!

@blueridge8992 Год назад

Topher: *takes a couple on-ramps at 15mph over the speed limit* “The harder you push this car the better it gets!” Matt Farah: *thrashes the car in the canyons for an hour* “The GLI is a great commuter car but the driving experience completely falls apart if you push it past 6/10ths.” (said on his most recent TST podcast) lol, I don’t know who to believe! Matt’s One Take review should be up on RU-vid in the next week or two. Considering the difference in driving style and location, it will be interesting to compare it to big Toph’s review. Maybe Matt went into it expecting too much, or maybe the car really does have some fatal flaws when pushed hard. I hope it’s the former because the GLI has been creeping up the list for my next daily and it’s available in real life for MSRP, unlike the Civic SI.

@byfedericojimenez Год назад

Matt’s take is likely down to the trash stock tires. They fail the car when pushing it extra hard. The chasis is that good. Swap the tires for Michelin pilot sports or Continentals and you have a totally different car. One that lets the chasis and suspension do it’s work.

@tallesttreeintheforest Год назад

there is something weird with VW components that gives these weird rattles, from my experience always around the front door panels.

@dschinkal Год назад

Does the dash just vibrate in sport mode or all modes? A lot of owners say the dash rattle is from the soundaktor, but it only vibrates enough to cause a rattle in sport mode.

@jackhammer8439 Год назад

Mine did but it was the fuel lines under the passenger seat which was very noticeable. VW just put some extra insulation in and it’s great now. If I have it in sport mode, and hammer it there is a slight vibration but no th inch crazy. I don’t usually put it in sport mode as the piped in engine noise is a bit much for me personally.

When you shifted into 1st at 36mph and 3,000rpm I was so scared for the car. My Si's would never let me do that even with a good rev match. Shifting into 1st at anything above parking lot speeds feels like you're forcing it. Is it just a Honda thing? I've seen you shift Porsches into 1st at higher speeds with ease as well.

@PR1NCETD0T Год назад

Not a honda thing, in my 370z (base; no auto rev match), i literally can't put my car into first if its going faster than 5km. I think it has to do with the synchro's being weird going into first, and if you try and force it, it grinds the gear.
