A lot of people hate on the gti but having owned 3 of them mk2 8v gti, mk4 1.8t anniversary and mk5 gti. I still think they are the best daily car money could buy today.
The Truth I had a MK2 GTI when I was in High School and later on sold it due financial reasons. I currently on a MK4 Golf (2.0L) and a Audi RS4 (B7 version). I never really cared much for and the MK5 and 6 body styles. I sure do miss my first VW, anyways I have attentions in the future to get another MK2 and do a VR6 swap.
Any vr6 is rare I have a Jetta Vr6 and I had many people with modern cars with much lower millage saying they would swap cars with me just cause how hard it is to find a vr6 with all the other jettas and golfs out there
The VW Golf GTI is the King of Hatchbacks and paved the way for other manufacturers to follow suit. Can you do the Volkswagen R series? MK4 R32, MK5 R32, MK6 Golf R and MK7 Golf R!
I own an mk4 and an mk5. I've driven 400+ HP muscle cars, trucks, SUV's etc and they don't match either of my GTIs. Most fun cars I've ever driven and quite affordable indeed! Never getting rid of them.
People dont get the GTI. After mk4,5,6. I got my MK7. 228HP, 266TQ, MORE THAN FACTORY CLAIMS. 1000$ tune and downpipe, 333HP 377TQ. Stupid numbers for a little car.
ben and mason Our exhausts flow fine. Its the downpipe. Get yourself a downpipe. Muffler delete, add a magnaflow before the location of the original oem muffler. And stage 1.
My first car was a mk1. Swapped a 2l from the golf 3 GTI and put some work into it. On some coil overs and good tyres that little creature flew like shit off a stick. Still the best car I've ever had. The reason I love golfs. The reason I love vw. Regret selling it so much.
I'm trying to vr6 swap my pickup. I have caught some shit from people though cause the caddy is rare here in the states, especially in California, and everyone says I'm ruining it by putting newer better performance upgrades.
Cody who cares. It's your car. Do whatever you want. You get to drive it not them. Vr6 swapped caddy is awesome by the way. I'll probably look at getting a mk2 and slapping a 3.2l. Or I'll go 16v abf and boost it.
sorry buddy but i have to agree that vr6 is not really a good swap. A lot of people who swaped vr6 mk1 sold it soon after swap. That front weight is just changes the car too much. If you want more speed put 1.8T in it. But really... I had fun in my golf when there was ordinary 1.6 diesel in it. I think you just need to find better roads. It's not a drag strip car you know?
Turbo Diesel Racing is that why when I look up engine weight the vr6 is close to the 1.9 I currently have in? Give me a break you idiot, if it were too heavy for the car the swap wouldn't be so popular
wow you sure are quick on flaming people that try to give you advice. And no, VR6 weight is definitely not close to 4-cylinder engine, also it's tilted forward so there is even more weight on the front. VR6 are only good for dragstrip... And even there a well tuned 1.8t will spank your junk. Go on put V8 in it for all I care...
Im totally with you! He didn’t even mention the Golf citi (which is a cool side fact, look it up!) im going to buy a *Golf 1 GTI Cabriolet* when iam 18, iam so happy that they are still available in Germany at a decent price😍

Firstly, the MK5 is not ugly. Sure, prettier cars have existed, but the MK5 is not ugly. Second, at least the MKV GTI looked different from a base model.. at a glance, the MK4, MK6 and MK7 GTI basically look like a regular golf, but the very different grill, painted front end and the different side and rear body moulding of the MK5 made it stand out. Also.. - It was as fast (actually had to be limited) as the MK5 R32 - One of the first production cars to use a DCT - It basically started the overall look that then flowed into the MK6 and MK7, the 'Denver' wheels it had are nearly identical to the MK6 wheels, and even the MK7 wheels look very similar - It was the generation that made the GTI a great car again. The VR6 of the MK3 was a pretty big engine for a hatchback that was quite unreliable and not that powerful, and the MK4 was.. really slow. The MK5 GTI was one of the cars that made hot hatches (actually HOT, like a powerful small car, not a warm hatch like the MK4) a big deal again, a bigger deal than before. We're still seeing the effect of it now, 12 years later, with the new Focus RS, the Focus ST, Golf R, Audi S3 and RS3, AMG A45, whatever else. So don't be dissing the MK5, it did more for small performance cars than you might think.
hotwire96 the mk5 is so damn sexy, I honestly think that the 4 door ones are way prettier than the 2 door ones, they couldn't have done it any better. And there's the stock tail lights... so fucking ugly.. but i replaced mine with some Euro LED and they look fire 🔥 such a great car

I've seen people drive these and was like "ewww hell naw" Well, I bought me a MK6 and it's the best car I have ever owned. Love it more than the gs-t I had. Done swapped my K03 for a K04. I take everything bad I said about the GTI back. Love it. James needs to redo this vids. Seems like he just got into a fight with his dad.

By the way, some of the variations of the MK4 Golf platform were stunningly gorgeous, and fast! Of course, the precursor to the current Golf R was the awesome R32. HPA made a twin turbo version that hit 60 MPH in 3.2 seconds too! Then there was the '337' and '30th Anniversary Edition', both GTI's. In my opinion, the '337' GTI, in silver (Google it), was the best looking GTI ever! Great German lines!

James. You love the GTI too much for this to be the only up to speed. Do us all the courtesy of really driving home that passion in an updated video. Thanks
good video. The GTI is not only a legend but a motoring icon. Still having the feels for my 2006 Mk5 GTI which was sold in 2016. heck even the non car buffs know what a GTI is.
My Stock GTI is def “quick” handles awesome & mods will (if done proper-like...) only make much more “gooder-er”...So YES. GOLF is An excellent selection (...If selected) for a 1st vehicle ...Just DEF Get GTI. ✨🎅🏿👍🏿✨
Yeah I would. I have a mk5 rabbit with a few mods on it new headlights cat back exhaust brakes and new stereo. They are kind of a bitch to work on because of Germans and some minor electrical and cosmetic issues but the actual mechanics of the car (steering, suspension, and drive train plus engine) are immaculate.
There are SO MANY sport variants of the Golf!!! I wrote an arcticle about it two years ago. It covered pretty much everything. You see, I'm brazilian, but I had to search so much things that I even learnt a little german! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
@@PhiZelak did you include the Oettinger variants (MK1 16s, 1.8l and 2.0l)? And the limited 210bhp g60 (I met a guy who owned a fully original one back in 2010 with 7000km at a meeting, he stole the show)? From the MK3 onward it all got a bit boring, unfortunately...
Lambodriver217 I wasn’t a fan of the mk5 until I really looked at it. Bought one and love it. Great looking car. Even the one in the picture they showed when he said it’s ugly looks beautiful. I love a clean mk4, mk5 and mk7. Mk6 R is nice too.
I drive a mk5 and I love it. If they'd put the Jetta front end on the mk4 like they did with almost every other generation it would have looked fine. But no, they gave it stupid little headlights and a weird bumper 😂 hard to beat a vr6 though, wish they still had it in the GTI
Yea, missed the R32 which makes no sense. He talks about the Golf R, which isn’t a GTI so he should’ve added the R32. They are either both in, or both out. Probably needs to do a separate one on the golf but oh well.
One Life Vlogs Nah. The first Ford Performance HOT HATCH was the Fiesta Super Sport in 1980. The Golf made the GTI in 1976. The Escort doesn't compete as a hot hatch; they're not in the same market. Volkswagen encouraged Ford and other manufactures to make hot hatches like the Fiesta and the Focus. It turns out your comment is a pile of bullshit!
Hunter Janssen yeah it doesn’t compete as a hot hatch but the ford escort rs2000 etc were competing in the same market as the vw golf just as a different body style ford would’ve made performance hatchbacks regardless of weather the golf got had been released so there is no need to thank it for fast fords so don’t call my comment a pile of bullshit it clearly isn’t
One Life Vlogs People consider the Golf GTI the first mainstream hot hatch, and it sold like crazy. How is it not true that Ford would have influence to jump on that market area?
I'm restoring an 88 Cabriolet, I just refer to it as a Rabbit GTI Convertible beacuse that's pretty much what it is. One of the best things about the Mk1/2 VW's is that the parts are almost all compatible with each other, so for example I'm pumping my 1.8l up with a 16v airbox, bigger throttle body, ported intake mani and a stainless header with the only aftermarket part being the header (and only because it's cheaper than getting the individual parts for a 4-2-1 exhaust from other VW's) The GTI has always been my dream car, and I hope to own an ACTUAL one someday. Can't wait to get my Cabby on the road though.
I think the mk5 was better looking than the mk2, mk3 and even the mk4 I don't own one and never have so no bias I just think the r32 was stunning same with the GTI and Ed 30
you don't deserve to live with that opinion (jk) still never compare legendary classic mk2 with ugly mk5(and this is objective opinion) which is a leftover of some ugly abortion which vw engineers threw out of their mind after overusing on drugs
Mk1 - classic and pretty Mk2 - cool looking OG Mk3 - dull Mk4 - still dull Mk5 - best looking modern gti Mk6 - a more boring looking version of mk5 Mk7 - aggressive design but it pulls it off and looks good

I just discovered this channel today, you guys make amazing videos! ❤ Please keep up the great work and great content :)
Do the scirocco
yeaahhhh!
No.
Find A Reason basically a more sporty golf
now THAT was ugly :D rather a Corrado ;)
I just bought a 1986 Cabriolet, and I'm in love with it!!!
Sooo. Should I buy a golf as a first car that I want to mod? If not.... any suggestions?
Beast_Clay03 sure. Golfs are affordable and reliable. They accelerate pretty quickly, cornering is amazing and they look bloody amazing
Mighty Mung thanks!
My Stock GTI is def “quick” handles awesome & mods will (if done proper-like...) only make much more “gooder-er”...So YES. GOLF is An excellent selection (...If selected) for a 1st vehicle ...Just DEF Get GTI. ✨🎅🏿👍🏿✨
DO IT, I LOVE MY MK7 GTI
Yeah I would. I have a mk5 rabbit with a few mods on it new headlights cat back exhaust brakes and new stereo. They are kind of a bitch to work on because of Germans and some minor electrical and cosmetic issues but the actual mechanics of the car (steering, suspension, and drive train plus engine) are immaculate.
Did anyone miss the G60?
johnhagebeuk8 no g60 golfs are best golfs
I love the G60 in my Corrado.
There are SO MANY sport variants of the Golf!!! I wrote an arcticle about it two years ago. It covered pretty much everything. You see, I'm brazilian, but I had to search so much things that I even learnt a little german! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
@@PhiZelak um Brazilian too.
Me passa o link pf
@@PhiZelak did you include the Oettinger variants (MK1 16s, 1.8l and 2.0l)? And the limited 210bhp g60 (I met a guy who owned a fully original one back in 2010 with 7000km at a meeting, he stole the show)? From the MK3 onward it all got a bit boring, unfortunately...
My first new car was MK4 24v VR6 GTI. My favorite. My second was a Mk7 TDI Golf SE. My current car is a Mk7.5 GTI Autobahn. Love them all.
My wife wants you to do the Honda Odyssey.

uncultured swine
Do the Honda Odyssey. But not my wife.

Can we please get a newer video on the GTI!? Bring some of that sweet sweet energy you bring in the newer videos!
Do a video about the Civic Si! Love your stuff.
YESS
Do it! History of the Si!
Makes me proud to have a MK6 :')
Matthew Novak same!
💵
Same here brothas 👍
Me too I love my mk6
Gotta have the plaid seats with it ❤
The editing is magnificent in variety and timing, thanks for the laughs, Donut
Love my mk4 1.8t
Alex DeCaro Yeah, they're nice.
Me too...
Has to be the best car I ever owned
MK4 got 3.2L R32
i think you should remake the video and mention the best sounding engine in the world :(
Proud mk4 on bbs rims owner! Loved & miss the vr6 dohc but Would love the golf R next
How is the mk5 ugly I think it’s good looking the the mk4 is kinda ugly imo so is the mk3 but I love it’s engine
Lambodriver217 I wasn’t a fan of the mk5 until I really looked at it. Bought one and love it. Great looking car. Even the one in the picture they showed when he said it’s ugly looks beautiful. I love a clean mk4, mk5 and mk7. Mk6 R is nice too.
I drive a mk5 and I love it. If they'd put the Jetta front end on the mk4 like they did with almost every other generation it would have looked fine. But no, they gave it stupid little headlights and a weird bumper 😂 hard to beat a vr6 though, wish they still had it in the GTI
Lambodriver217 Mk3 and Mk5 are both ugly af
The MK5 looks fat and boring. The facelift was a bit less bad, but still an ugly car.
I love the mk6 and 7, tho.
240z
you mean fairlady z, from z30 to z34
All the Z cars.
I love your videos. You combine culture, history, cars and science. Amazing!
Wtf where's the R32
Limborghini Finally someone!!!!
Not a GTI.
CJBMAGGOT94 True 😔
Yea, missed the R32 which makes no sense. He talks about the Golf R, which isn’t a GTI so he should’ve added the R32. They are either both in, or both out. Probably needs to do a separate one on the golf but oh well.
Hey I like your profile photo but not to mean do you agree the interior ruined the car
Thank you gti for making my focus st possible 😂😂
Logan Hopkins ford made performance escorts before the golf even existed so that’s a pile of bullshit
One Life Vlogs Nah. The first Ford Performance HOT HATCH was the Fiesta Super Sport in 1980. The Golf made the GTI in 1976. The Escort doesn't compete as a hot hatch; they're not in the same market. Volkswagen encouraged Ford and other manufactures to make hot hatches like the Fiesta and the Focus. It turns out your comment is a pile of bullshit!
Hunter Janssen yeah it doesn’t compete as a hot hatch but the ford escort rs2000 etc were competing in the same market as the vw golf just as a different body style ford would’ve made performance hatchbacks regardless of weather the golf got had been released so there is no need to thank it for fast fords so don’t call my comment a pile of bullshit it clearly isn’t
One Life Vlogs People consider the Golf GTI the first mainstream hot hatch, and it sold like crazy. How is it not true that Ford would have influence to jump on that market area?
I just keep rewatching this video. Just love it.
Please do a Jetta one!!
I have a rabbit caddy
The best version of the Golf for sure
Mk1 Caddys are friggin gorgeous! Great choice!
I have one swapped with a 1.9AAZ, big pump and turbo, and intercooler. They go fast
Cody I'm jealous
I miss my 84.
I'm restoring an 88 Cabriolet, I just refer to it as a Rabbit GTI Convertible beacuse that's pretty much what it is. One of the best things about the Mk1/2 VW's is that the parts are almost all compatible with each other, so for example I'm pumping my 1.8l up with a 16v airbox, bigger throttle body, ported intake mani and a stainless header with the only aftermarket part being the header (and only because it's cheaper than getting the individual parts for a 4-2-1 exhaust from other VW's)
The GTI has always been my dream car, and I hope to own an ACTUAL one someday. Can't wait to get my Cabby on the road though.
I think the mk5 was better looking than the mk2, mk3 and even the mk4
I don't own one and never have so no bias I just think the r32 was stunning same with the GTI and Ed 30
you don't deserve to live with that opinion (jk)
still never compare legendary classic mk2 with ugly mk5(and this is objective opinion) which is a leftover of some ugly abortion which vw engineers threw out of their mind after overusing on drugs
I beg to differ mk5 is one of the prettier Gti's, was also a huge leap from the mk4 which sucked in all aspects
I agree about the mk5 being a nice looking GTI (from some angles, very reminiscent of the Honda EP3 Civic, which I love).
The mk5 is the best looking GTI to this day. The newer gens don't have that great grille, they even skimped on the HID headlights. WTF.
Mk1 - classic and pretty
Mk2 - cool looking OG
Mk3 - dull
Mk4 - still dull
Mk5 - best looking modern gti
Mk6 - a more boring looking version of mk5
Mk7 - aggressive design but it pulls it off and looks good
Still need to get my MKI GTi running again. The legend will live again!
Like ur hat
Remake please, someone get Nolan to do a wheel house on GTI’s
I’m a happy owner of a Gti. The one in my picture is my mk2 GTI 16v! I Love the recaro interior
The mk5 is the best generation of GTI
YES
i love my mk5 gti, don't think its ugly at al😑
I remember back in 2021 watching this video I was on my way to Goldsboro and when James said if you see GTI your hero there was one right beside me
I have a mk5 😞 you hurt my feelings on that
I dont think mk5 is ugly, for me the uglier is mk4.
