The why DSG is only 250NM is the gearbox limitation anything beyond that it'll pretty much start frying the clutches. That dry clutch system made it unreliable but swapping to a DQ250 wet clutch gearbox would do best.
i just bought a polo gti from 2017 last Friday. Cant wait to pick in up in a week (because of covid it takes longer than normal to pick up cars at the dealership). Great Video, Greetings from Germany :)
Congratulations brother. Well deserved and you made a great choice. That Polo 6C Gti is a brilliant little hot hatch. You are gonna enjoy it trust me😁😊. Greetings from South Africa and please take to the Nürburgring one day for some laps. Cheers :)
@@raremachines8857 thanks man! I didn’t know the Nürburgring is that famous 😄, nice to hear. I will take the car there as soon as i am used to it. We have a few nice mountain roads in Bavaria. They’re great for driving as well. Anyway, have a good day :)
Thank you very much my brother. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and the feedback. Yeah the virus has made it difficult to get more content but i will be back with more cool content soon.
Hi! I saw you talking about the technique for the pops u make from the exhaust, could you explain, or is there a video somewhere to find how to do this? I just got mine this week and would love to know or learn this! :) Thank you very much in advance!!
Hi there Mitchel. So to answer your question i'm gonna be as detailed as i can and this will require some practice. So basically to get those upshift pops you need to be smooth when shifting. Step 1: Make sure the car is in Sport mode (You can also put traction off but only when its dry weather please) Step 2: Put the gearbox in manual mode by moving the gear lever to the left in D position. Step 3: Now when you accelerate make sure that you change gear between 4000-5500 rpm in each gear as you go up the gears. (Open your windows to hear if the pops are happening) Usually the best DSG pops or farts are from 1st to 4th gear and then they get less louder in the higher gears. This will take some practice but you will get used to it. Try it and let us know how it goes. Congrats on your new hot hatch you are gonna enjoy it. Thanks for watching.😉👍
A bit late answer but as a 6c driver i found out the best pops come out if you just drive in Sportmode and go only half throttle. It shifts at 4300rpm and makes the best pops on its own.
Great car, I wanna get one myself but Im concerned about the Dq200 gearbox because ive heard about the gearbox failure, could it pose potential problem in the long run ? Should i be worried or just buy it?
Howzit bro. Yeah the DQ200 dry clutch is a weak point but if you keep the car stock and you service the DSG gearbox regularly then you good. Also how hard you drive the car also matters in terms of longevity, so be kind to your car lol. So i say buy it, its a great little car but get a good aftermarket warranty for unexpected mechanical failures. Thanks for watching brother.
Nice review really enjoyed it man I just bought one of these and pick it up tomorrow . I noticed you had the headlights flashing ? How do you do that ? Is it a setting ? Would appreciate a reply mate thanks
Thank you for watching bro. As for the flashing headlights, that is the HD GoPro camera causing that flickering effect lol. Most camera's cause that flickering effect when filming LED lights for some reason. And CONGRATS on your GTI!!! I'm sure you really gonna enjoy it.
Awesome little car but I'm scared of the dsg and the rear seats are not very practical. Should have little bit more space. Also scared of the uninvited guests it brings along with it.
I know its an old video but I have to ask: How do I add those little pops and do they only happen when you put it on manual shift? or even on D or Sport mode they do come out?
Sho boi i have no problem with your question. You are correct those upshift pops occur in sport manual mode when you shift between 5000-6000rpm or if you leave in sport D mode it will pop on its own. Hope this helps G.
awsome car,i have the base modle and altough it is not fast i enjoy driving it very much,i got a question those tints look super dark,are such dark tints legal in your countryt cause in here the cops will pull over a car like this and scratch the tints off
Thanks for watching bro. Yeah the tints are fairly dark. They are not strictly legal but most guys will take chances with law enforcement and keep on. The police will only remove them in rare circumstances.
Thanks for the criticism, i will definitely improve on my dialogue and i will make sure those "uhms" are less in the coming videos. Thanks for watching. Much Appreciated.
Few questions ; 1. For a 45L feul tank, how many kilometers one can get? 2. What is the average fuel consumption? 3. How much is he paying on insurance? I'm asking these questions because I was thinking about getting one for myself or just buy a newer car with a smaller engine, like an audi A3 1.0 tfsi.
They generally hold value very well in used car market. But this will always depend on mileage, car condition, service history and no accident history. Remember......if u trade in your car for a new one the dealers will usually screw you over.
@@raremachines8857 can you make a new video review with the tuning? I got a stock 2016 polo gti and is considering a stage 1. Would be interesting to see the difference in performance compared to this video (and my own car)
@@raremachines8857 yeah it sounds great man! really like these, seen one just like yours! but I think it I want to get something faster, as my car is already the same speed as these
I heard the "okay " and I was like this guy is from S.A😂😂😂😂🔥
lol
Yah neh 🤣🤣

I love this car..definitely buying this machine..the price is nice for such car
Definitely boi. You will not regret it.
@@raremachines8857 is it true people experience issues with the gearbox after a few months of ownership?
This car is amazing 👌👌

Congratulations bro. Hope you enjoy it. A great car that Gti.
@@raremachines8857 thanks mate! by the way, whats the trick on getting the dsg farts? i heard theres a trick lol!
I’m picking mine up on Saturday, can’t wait

Great review 👌🏾
Thank you sir.
did u change the exhaust or something what is not standard? because it bangs very good

Rare Machines tried this today and it totally worked thank you! Only had mine a week now. 😁
Does the car have to be in “Sport” mode ? I test drove one without and I struggled to get the pops
A bit late answer but as a 6c driver i found out the best pops come out if you just drive in Sportmode and go only half throttle. It shifts at 4300rpm and makes the best pops on its own.
9:24 that guy cracked me up
Yea how has nobody mentioned him lol
Great Video, how would you rate its soundsystem? I want to get this car, and good sounding music is very important for me
Great car, I wanna get one myself but

It’s to do with the frequency and the frame rate of the camera I think
Awesome little car but I'm scared of the dsg and the rear seats are not very practical. Should have little bit more space. Also scared of the uninvited guests it brings along with it.
Awesome view, and I have to ask - HOW TALL ARE YOU?? 😂 cause -
Lol I'm 189cm so i'm up there.😂🤣
Xo broe ,my polo gti 6c doesn't have sport button like yours, is there any way I can use sport+manual mode at the same time without that sport button?
Nice video
I know its an old video but I have to ask: How do I add those little pops and do they only happen when you put it on manual shift? or even on D or Sport mode they do come out?

Was this review filmed with the sport mode on?
Desperately trying to find one with this same spec in the UK can't find any for sale 😭😭
Is the exhaust stock
Do a review on a mk6 Golf R
Consumption normal drive??
Wanted to quit the video .67 seconds in due to the over-use of "Uhm...". Otherwise an AWESOME review, great depth and excellent coverage.
Thanks for the criticism, i will definitely improve on my dialogue and i will make sure those "uhms" are less in the coming videos. Thanks for watching. Much Appreciated.
No offense man haha, keep up the good work
Stock sound ?
Is the exhaust stock?
At the time of the review....... yes the exhaust was bone stock.
“Ummm”😂😂

Go to a page here on UA-cam called EMBA KUB...& search for a Polo GTI review....you'll get your questions answered
Reminds me of koonan Bel pogba a serious car trust
they dont loose much value ? lies or am i the only one that is getting screwed ?
They generally hold value very well in used car market. But this will always depend on mileage, car condition, service history and no accident history. Remember......if u trade in your car for a new one the dealers will usually screw you over.
Is this one stock?
Hello exhaust is stock?
At the time of the review it was bone stock.
Uhmm,I like the car ahh
Do you still have this car?
It's my buddy's car. Yes he still has it with Stage 2 upgrades

@@raremachines8857 yeah it sounds great man! really like these, seen one just like yours! but I think it I want to get something faster, as my car is already the same speed as these
Too much scene switch
