As an owner of the mk8 for 2 years, I do agree with MM. It’s not as raw and fun as the older ones and bmw/merc surpassed in terms of performance. But the mk8 for me is a perfect daily. Very matured feel, basic like a GOLF, good fuel mileage but when u wanna feel abit naughty, it will eat 90% of cars up for lunch. And the cornering for FWD is superb. I’ve bested many cars up genting…. After u tune it, even more ridiculous…..
I disagree with your review. I bought ones couple months ago, and it was an amazing car, precise handling, very quick and suitable for daily drive. Those who complained about gti probably never own ones.
yup agreed, it been brilliant.... been using it the past 2 years. Bcoz of the DCC, its suitable for what u want. commuting...set it to the softest setting....if u want to layan corner put it at hardest susp settings. can calibrate it 12-14 setting from soft all the way to hardest. draw back it the stupid touch sensitive thingy.
"....Some degree of ... Something . . ." HAHAHA. To hell with boring turbo torque curves and vacuum cleaner sounds 😁 Jokes aside, I find the amount of low rent plastic unacceptable at this price point . . . or rather it contrasts too starkly with how premium the exterior looks.
Long overdue honest presentation. We need such reviews as some car manufacturers / sellers are starting to take undue advantage of consumers.
Oh my, you have trashed the GTI to bits! 😂. However your presentation is top notch and your diction is impeccable. Good job 👍

Glad that finally VW made a statement that they will return to physical buttons. Current haptic touch is just useless
We agree!

Never really liked hatchbacks but this car is quite the sleek little thing. I'd just ignore everything else since the driver's seat is well equipped
very honest review. Thats why i choose to buy MK7.5 GTI Peformance spec.
On the left side front side skirt above the wheel is there a black dot for you? there is for me lol on the paint

It’s because of the price . They cut it down so much to make it accessible to more people
