    It’s just as fast as any other car unless on track, Nürburgring you would prob be 2 min difference from a Porsche when your on a road trip etc your not going flat out on public roads, if you like looking at the car get it , forget what people tell you all modern cars within reason are fast you don’t need a supercar to keep up with a supercar on the road, if your all going to the same destination are you bothered if you turn up a few seconds after them 😂 forget speed get the car you like looking at and if you truly like the car your looking at you will wash it because it makes you smile 😂, I see a lad with a fiat punto he has had it for years he still washes it every week to him it’s a good looking car, that’s all you need in life one that you like not stats, UA-cam is a strange thing it’s people hating on other cars this is better than that one but when put into practice your not a racing driver relax no one’s doing 200mph on the motorway and could you afford to lose your licence if you tried 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

    Can't knock a GTI?
    Well, not in terms of performance.
    But, horribly cheap and flimsy interior that the MK7 definitely didn't suffer from. (In America the base S trim starts at $30,000. Add almost $1,000 if you want the DSG.) Seriously, I've seen cars at half that price that had better interiors. One UA-camr who did a 6-month review and only put 1,000 miles on his SE version was already complaining that the passenger's side door and the dash already developed annoying rattles.
    And the info-tainment system is the 2nd worst in the industry. (Tesla # 1 in that regard.) Also, dealers are jacking up prices on it by about $5,000. Also, no keyless entry on the base trim.... which is a $30K car. I'm sorry but that's absolutely ridiculous when the same trim has keyless vehicle start.

VW water coolant housing has been revised/redesigned at least 4 times, VW know it’s crap. UA-cam VW coolant leak, it’s a well known problem. Serviced at main dealer 6 months before end of warranty, obviously they didn’t spot the leak and no customer goodwill outside warranty.
