How well has this 2015 Volkswagen GTI held up after 120,000 miles? And why I think it's the best fun daily car for around $15,000. Music: www.epidemicso... Follow Me: / imalsoandrew / imalsoandrewyt
In my 78 years of living, and driving about 62 of them, I gotta say my 2019 GTI S DSG is by far one of the best all around cars I have owned. It’s my daily driver, and my only vehicle at this time. Great performance, gas mileage, and fun. Out of all the cars I have owned, and there were many, my 1959 Peugeot 403 came close ! Thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴
@@JLJE54 actually, just turned 79. I’m not really that good on any devices. However, during Covid I sharpened my skills ! But I don’t get into social media for obvious reasons.
Had a MK6 and I loved it but, the MK7 platform is superb. Been running an OTS stage 2 tune for about 23k miles and it’s been an absolute blast of a car to daily
@@chrisdavis6853 I'm looking at getting maybe a 2017 golf gti with 52k miles on it, it has a good service history, but most reviews of golf 7 gti give me stress😭
bro how is your GTI going ? i have the opportunity to get a 130k miles for $7000, full service history. with your car in mind , do you think its worth buying ?@@chrisdavis6853
Love my 2017 GTI (MK7) Autobahn DSG - Clark seats ( by choice ) They tried to push for leather but I was adamant for the classic GTI VW dealer wanted to buy it back in 2021…lol They called and asked on a few occasions. I still have it as my daily.
i bought my GTI in the US at the end of 2020. 2016 SE. I have thought about getting something new but I have a really hard time finding something of equal or around the same value. For $16k (with 40k miles on it) I don't know what else I would buy that would even come close! Sure, I can maybe get something better, but not for $16k! Sticking with it until I have enough money for a used Golf R some day :)
it’s insane what the car market has gone too ☹️ im in the market for a mk7 at the moment and it’s impossible to find anything above the sport trim with less than 50k on the odometer for less than 20 grand
@@jacobdub619 unfortunately buying privately is no longer is an option. With companies like Carvana, who pay a decent amount, it’s impossible to find a reasonably priced car today.
@@roboticvenom1935 I think it was carbon clean up( normal), water pump, oil leak( it was like 700 USD), timing chain( very expensive), AC replaced. So it started about 180 but all of it was done within like 6 months. The CArbon I think expecting, I remember I went to fix the AC for like 2400 or so and left with an oil leak fix and new timing chain 2 weeks later. I was upset at the time, but the car has been fine I think. I really like that after allt hese years, the car still feels solid, very little creaking.
@@kosta2177 miles, the car is now at 234K miles. it does now a check engine light on it. the obd11 says catalytic converter and it has a number of misfires now, so IDK what to do with it. But it does drive fine. Im getting it checked out this week, ive sense bought a 24 golf r , but I still do like my GTI.
It’s pretty expensive to do, but you can do a factory retrofit of the newer infotainment system, and even the digital gauges, and from a difficulty perspective, it is very easy. Those parts are a lot of money though, but the price that you could get a 2015 for might leave room to do those as well.
How has the DSG been treating you, and have you had to replace clutch packs in this car? I know, 2 year old video but hopefully you still have this GTI and could shed some light on this?
i have a 21 gti s dsg, im wonder if my arm rest extends towards the center console like that. gonna go see right now, id thats the case and ive owned this car for almost 2 years without knowing that im gonna be pissed lol
@@AlsoAndrew lol it 100% does its a nice feature, also found out my gti has launch control, i dont think it has the boost guage in the infotainment settings tho
