2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI 0-100km/h & engine sound 

Fun begins at 3:02

You’re always going to struggle launching a FWD car with lots of torque, wheel spin and torque steer is expected, the cars computerised launch control system can only do so much to prevent wheel hop and spin. Having driven an i30 Sedan N and now a current owner of a Sonata N Line, the Sonata N Line is an absolute bullet, launching off the line is an absolute nightmare, it shreds the tyres and struggles to put its power down, the MK8 Golf GTI won’t struggle as much as it has less power and torque to deal with but what you should be looking at is roll on acceleration because that is where these cars absolutely shine, that is real world performance, these cars from a roll are absolute bullets but all people seem to care about are numbers regarding 0-100 km/h and 1/4 mile times and I get that because it sells, it’s all marketing, but real world performance should be based on in-gear acceleration, FWD cars would always struggle off the line, especially against AWD and RWD depending on the car of course, but race an AWD from a roll and you’d most likely win due to less drivetrain losses. The 60-110 is actually incredible that isn’t far off Kia Stinger GT terriority, a car with almost an extra 100kW and 140Nm.

$55,000 AUD....man, the price is getting up there 😯

For only 245 PS and big problems with traction off the line, the acceleration times are really impressive

Wish they'd gone back to physical buttons for the steering wheel controls and even the air con

Did VW finally decide to let you use press cars again?

Need to revert back to seperate heating/air con controls. Tactile controls are much safer and less distracting than the current arrangement. PS. Those rims look terrible compared to previous generation rims.

Is nice, but i still think i prefer my Leon. Bit more poke, and like the copper accents.

Epic Background Music.

1st to 2nd it really struggles and looses time 0-100 sadly

Better tires and all good

Surely do one on the i30 hatch 2.0L N/A pleaseeeeee

This original sound?? In Sport mode

Sound like my wife Snoring 😂

One day. ❤

Do the mk8 GTE

Touareg goes 6,5 so it’s same ? Weird

Completely overpriced. Price bubble bursting as we speak thou…be careful what you pay

Still can't compete with an EVO X from 2010

Why bother? Grab an i30N

Such a yawnfest.

I always thought Golfs were way faster than this

Exciting stuff starts at 3:02

Hi Brett, have you had a chance to do the 2023 Tiguan R?

الاكسبدشن التوين تيربو مايرتفع حرارته هذا يدل على فشل تويوتا

RIP front rubber

Just buy model 3 rwd. Faster, more storage, no gas means economic, no dsg problem etc.

Мне кажется на нем нет смысла ланчевать, вся мощь в букс улетела😂

Today i measured my mk8 GTI (DSG) with dragy and the fastest run was 7.5 Seconds. I dont know why but it became so slow 🥲 between the Shift from 2nd to 3rd is a big gap of almost 0,5 Seconds before it shifts. Anyone knows why?

Withouth launch control.

Bmw 128ti surely has to be next

3 seconds at 60...maybe keep traction control on

My Megane RS Ultime is in another universe😂.

This how the hole shot launch went against the one I gapped . I told him at the next set of lights "your launch control is not intimidating anyone and that wheel spin is breaking hooning laws " 😂

Same performance as a V6 camry

Except one day that turd of VW would self combust itself leaving you with thousands in repairs.

Need plenty of spare tires for this shitbox.
