Newer clutch is more refined. Unheard of.

❤

Who could add all that to this car if I bought one? I live near mpls. MN. I would want the knock sensor and traction control but I’d like to be able to turn off trac control. Is there a shop nearby mpls.

I had a 2011 audi a3 with a s-tronic box and now own a mk5 r32, weirdly the mk5 dsg feels way better.. i thought itd be sluggish in comparison but its not

I'd take the mk4 manual over the mk5. Id rather the 8p A3 vr6 with the DSG if i went auto. Or get the mk2 TT VR6 manual

I really like what Hyundai have been doing with their N division. I bought a 2013 Genesis coupe, bk2, 3.8, and it's been great. I've put 143k on it, lightly modded it, and decided to add a 23 Elantra N last year, and so glad i did! Hyundai / Kia have really been trying to listen to the car community with their designs, and some of their performance stuff. I loved the Kia Stinger, and the N stuff with Hyundai is such a bargain. I was torn between getting a Veloster N, Kia Stinger GT2, Camaro SS, or Elantra N. I mainly decided on the Elantra N was due to the price and the warranty

Gents - very insightful, job well done! i'm still driving my 2013 b8.5 rs5 (also pared with Co. car 2013 b8.5 rs4 for 4 years). what i could add on top of your findings: b8.5 rs5 can be compared to - leonardo da vinci in terms of the interior / exterior design and engineering johan cruyff in terms of the elegance ronald reagan in terms of the reliability and efficiency levi's 501 in terms of the durability led zepp & deep purple in terms of the engine sound beethoven in terms of the audio system quality montreal canadiens hockey team of 70-s in terms of the agility german shepherd dog in terms of handling and response michael douglas in terms of the most handsome and sexy man italian riviera calm breeze when driving the comfort mode nuclear power station when driving the dynamic mode

I bought my 15 ST in 2020 with 103k miles for 7 grand from Toyota now it has 153k miles currently

Beautiful car, and great video! If you ever decide to sell that piece of swedish art, let me know :P

I should've pulled the plug on the wagon I saw 😢

I just purchased a manual 2020 Veloster N performance package with 70k miles and 1 owner, I think I got a good deal since I paid 20k including all taxes and fees. My first driving impressions are that I am absolutely blown away by the handling and the pops are extremely loud in person. I hope it will be my daily for years to come.

Still have my original 2004 R32 Blue - and every time I drive it, the magic I felt in 2004 when driving away from the dealership, is still there. Unbelievable. I live in SoCal - 158k on it now - and I still have folk stop to comment on it - or give the thumbs up on the freeway - motorcyclists , car drivers, truckers. Happens 3-4 times every month. And it's a 20 year old VW ! Magical. It's still hard to get used to. Parked next to a 170k Mercedes and it is the R32 that gets the looks / questions. Heater core leaked after about 14 years and the timing chain replaced after 18 years (That was expensive - had the clutch replaced also whilst in the shop although the clutch was still ok) - New suspension of course. VW got it spot on with the R32. Plenty of cars faster or more exotic...but there is nothing I would want to replace it with. Makes even driving to the dentist a joy !!

HI, I really like the front lip, the side and rear valences, who's the maker? It's subtle and it looks classy. Thanks.

Found you through the cappuccino vid. I loved my fiat 124 so that's queued up and have a reliant engine into an Austin 7 project so that's to look forward to.

It's a GT car in a hatch body. Every blogger compares it to a hot hatch which it isn't. The gearbox is fine when you know how it works and makes decisions. Anyone who drives like a moron will confuse it. It drops to 6 quickly in drive to save fuel. Stick it in sport if you don't want that. Drive smoothly and the dsg is still world class. I've driven more modern dual clutches that are much worse.

Look at my avatar. I have the same car. In four years it has been totally reliable and a blast to drive...so much my wife does not like to ride with me anymore.

Nice. What exhaust is on the Mk5?

Such a good review and I agree with everything you say about the classic 900!

GEEE a whopping 143 Hp astounding HP.. Just as much as ANY Civic. Real Life in action. . There IS genuine reason Saab is Extinct.

Just a clarifier, The V8 used in the C4 chassis was first used in a standard S4 and S6. There was no such thing as an S4 plus and the S6 plus used a slightly different, more powerful engine.

I had a 991.2 911 7MT in 2022 and drove a VN DCT. Immediately went out and bought one, I since sold my 911 but still have the VN and still love it, no plans to sell.

B8 s5 not mentioned 😢

Once you own one you understand. We had 3, 900, 9000 and 9.5

Lucky to have owned a 900 Turbo 16 valve S in the mid - eighties. The best car I ever had in terms of build - quality and performance. When the turbo kicked in the passenger could not lean forward. I sure wish I had kept it along with my Alfa 2000 GTV !!

Bro this is by far my fav vid of yours. Let's do the s2k like this. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I want to see Vn vs Gr corolla comparison

Great review. I feel like Hyundai's N are the few that actually care about us having fun for a great value. I currently have a 2015 Infiniti QX60 that's been very unreliable (love the space bc I have 2 little ones) but I am strongly considering an Elantra N with the DCT. Perfect fun family-able car.

I have a 2021 VN with a DCT. It’s my daily. It’s fantastic and reliable.

Personally not a fan of Hyundai, and would choose a Mk7 Gti🙈(i dont like any newer ones) maybe its because im biased as i work on them. But im happy to see you guys post a new video

Yikes the RS4 dosnt have the lambo steering wheel or bucket seats, please throw it in the bin.

No one arguably buys a R32 with the thought process of rear seat legroom, if it sees groceries bags or a happy dog that'll be the exent of its use, Lol.

What if the MK5 had a manual transmission?

Just BaT picked up a Pearl White 2000 D2 A8 w/ only 85k from OG owner. Awesome time traveller

id prob also be the type to cry riding a nsx, bless

I think your feedback could be precious to me. I am selling my vw troc R and want to come back to a s6 (2003) or c5 rs6 (2004) I was wondering which one you would recommend? Gearbox issues ? And what make most difference except the hp. Fyi I am in mountain alps resorts with snow in winter 🙏

Guys you must have to try an Autobianchi A112.

First VAG car in NA with a DSG was the 2004 MK1 TT with the VR6. It was the sister car to the 04 R32 with a manual.

loved the shots watching a 900 fly through the snowy plains of Utah. I have an '88 turbo 5-speed in Malachite Green, absolutely love it. I think '85 / '86 - '89 are the sweet spot years for 900's. '89 did have a bad ECU reputation, but that's an easy swap if you have a spare.

Damn bumpers destroys the aesthetics.. 🙄

They say the az1 has better low end but can't compete mid end with a good driver in a cappuccino. Also if you ever want a cappuccino please hit me up I can get one to you for a good price good condition

Idk what flared arches he’s talking about lol

Spoiler alert. They're all slow...

great review of a great car

It still sounds like it's the DSG letting you down here. I wonder how much closer a manual Mk5 would get to the Mk4 for you.

Worst shit v8 ever made 😂😂😂

You will daily a car more often than you thrash it! I've owned a lot of GTIs 4/5/6 - S3 8L, 8V and now an R32 mkv. I can imagine the Mk4 R32 being closest to the S3 8L, which was an electrical gremlin and really hard to thrash around the streets or between traffic lights to 'express' myself. The R32 can thrash far more easily and far more controlled than the Mk4 (gti) and then resume casually driving rather than keeping a buzz about itself. It can do it all, its just a master of none - apart from the noise.

Golfs mk1 , mk2 , mk3 ,mk4 then mk7 . The mk5 n 6 look like a seat

Red mk4 r32 .... yes they are handsome
