Cool stuff! I was in the Saratoga Springs area in late August 2011 (visiting from Seattle), and as we get no thunderstorms really at all, it was cool to see a storm that not only dropped tons of rain and lightning, but apparently had a few tornadoes with it as well!
Great video, thank you! I was looking for a video to show my two year old how wipers work in the rain. This was perfect. PS I love your neighborhood! Looks like you live in a near area.
That's the passenger airbag light, it says that when there is nobody sitting in the passenger seat or a lightweight child is sitting there (who shouldn't be). There's no manual override, there's a weight sensor in the seat like just about every new car for the past 10 years or so.

really loved the video!!! I like driving in the rain. I have a 2008 GLI, i love VW !!! thanks a lot for the clear HD video i like to see different country roads!
You took us a nice ride! I watched the video twice in 720p and full screen! =D But as I can see the weather is too cold at your area. At which state do you live? California?
Crazy storm? No that's just a storm if your car isn't being kicked around switching lanes by accident, it's just rain. There's not even any hail! But your snow video is helpful as there was a ton of snow on the ground. Thanks for posting though.
heavy rains, long drives after lunch, thick clouds, mild lightning, low light, mountainous area, lots of trees, travelling with your partner, stops in between for a cup of tea/coffee and a cigarette, then continuing on the journey. What more would you want.
I saw all that moving across Vt. on the Weather Channel today. My friends in New Hampshire...(southern), missed that line of storms as it went to the north of Lake Winnepesaukee. Mark in Iowa.
No this isn't the lousy Americanized Jetta. 2010 was the last year of the "good" over-engineered Jetta and Volkswagen upgraded the interior for 2010 only so the controls look the same as newer Volkswagens but it's still much much nicer than the 2011+ models. This is also the Wolfsburg Edition so it has the 2.0T and DSG from the GTI and sport tuned suspension, the car's a blast to drive.
@@esvinperez3580 Dude like you cant say that vw is not good car,In Europe vw looks better and all people in Europe like vw and dont like American cars but in America people like American cars more than Europe ones i dont say anything but there is big difference betwen Europe people and Americans.
Wow, I heard those sucked by the look of your video I say they did pretty good. How long did you have them and how do they compare to Rainx latitude/bosch icon?
Yeah I know. You have a cool car. It just looked a little unusual to me. I have a 1992 buick roadmaster and at 40mph my rpm is around 1,000. At 60mph I'm at 1,450. And at 75 mph I'm at 1,750-1,800.
That's not unusual, your car has a V8, meaning the engine wouldn't need to work as hard to get the same thing done as a 4cyl (unless this car has Volkswagens 5cyl which was pretty popular in the US, Europe usually had the TSI's). Your engine is probably also twice the size (measured in liters or cu. in.) Even for an older 4 speed gearbox, those rpm numbers aren't too strange.
I have always liked driving in such weather conditions. Great, but slightly risky. I also noticed that the speedometer limit is till 160 whereas here we have till 260. Is it kmph taken as speed measure in your country?
@sandulacheee They only looked like this for 2010 so unless you have a 2010 Jetta, then you'll have the older blue gauges and a different steering wheel. I'm sure you could change them but it would take quite a bit of work.
I was driving in one even worse than this. it was the first time i ever hydroplaned, and couldnt see what was in front of me or behind me with the front and rear wipers on as fast as they will go! hahah
mercmilan06 It’s been 8 years, I’m guessing it’s gone? I drive a 2002 Jetta and I love it. I just recently got my drivers license and some friends of ours sold us their old Jetta a few months prior, so I drive it around most of the time. It gets great gas mileage, break is a bit touchy though but you get used to it
I think this storm (or something just like it) has moved on to northern PA. It's pouring out here right now. P.S. What do you think of MyFord Touch in your Focus? My Explorer has it and I love it!
Man I had a similar model from your jetta, it was called bora but they stop producing it, i have a amarok, ( looks so cool in the rain) and a jetta 2015 GTI

I have no idea how to judge wipers anymore. I got some of these and they were awesome, some of them were shit. I got some ICON wipers that lasted forever and some that were fricken awful. Now I just buy the cheap ones and hope they work.

@@EricAtMazda well the correct answer that it all depends on the person. If you put your seat belt on BEFORE starting the car, then there is NO BEEP. In USA most of us are taught that first thing you do is start the car THEN fasten your safety belt.
