  • scirocco? where? that´s a GOLF

  • I love you.... Volkswagen Scirocco!!!!

  • I love the GTI!

  • Get your ass off the car, Jackass! 0:13

  • Comment removed

  • i'm not sure? there was an image that vw had that was lost in all the remodifications done to the appearance and performance. just dosent feel like a simple happy go lucky fun car anymore.. the brand seems just too serious..vw has lost its charm inturn for something else. anyone know?

  • whats the 0-60

  • HORSE PAAAAA :D

  • look's awesome|!

  • ... how would this car get into the 5's in 0-60.... -_-

    MS3 is 263hp and just gets 5's

  • its not all about hp

  • -_-... MS3 has 280lb of torque, weighs 3100lbs.... still wins...

  • german engineering i guess

  • most likely because of the DSG.

  • @scuderia515

    I liked the 2010 MS3, but the GTi is better. For $350 u can chip it and make it an MS3 but still have a better interior and overall quality. GTI is 1st on my list, but the MS3 comes 2nd.

  • i got the '09 MS3, i don't really like the new styling all that much but the inners of the '10 are supposedly much better, o well... i'm modding it anyway haha and got a good deal. GTI is nice too, but i think i heard it had it's own problems like every car and i see GTI's everywhere, atleast MS3 was rare in my area. Either way, good cars, GL with whatever you chose, you have questions bout the MS3 send a message

  • @scuderia515 Good to see a fellow speed 3er. I gotta agree, the new '10 face is horrible & everyone's got a GTI. Wouldn't change my '07 MS3 for anything. ZOOM ZOOM bitches. Shout out from Miami,Fl.

  • who is the price of this car!!!

  • Beautiful car...especially in white. I wish they would get rid of that seat pattern though and do a solid black or something nice. I guess I will just have to get a leather version.

  • You can get the GTi with a solid seat pattern, and not just in leather, you can get solid cloth seats as well.  But what's the ppoint? It just isn't a GTi without the plaid seats :P

  • Today I test drove this 2010 GTI 6 speed manual,needless to say I am impressed! Within a month or two I will own one!

  • no matter what anyone thinks, i ordered this car and i will have it in less than a month and i'm pretty fuckin excited!!!!!!!

  • the wheels do look weird, but the more i see them, the more i get used to them, but you cant defend the plaid seats, you just cant

  • the plaid seats are awesome, if you don't like those you probably shouldn't be owning a gti. the steering wheel i'm not so crazy about

  • @ IamInYourClosett :

    Shut the hell up!! the wheels look beautiful - most likely you look horrible !!! ;)))

  • i got a friend who is selling me a 06 gti. how does reliability hold up on these things?

  • They are pretty good. Pretty stout little motors. I don't see many gti's come in for service. Mostly those new 2.5l and the old stuff.

  • you must get a 60k or more manufacture warranty bumper to bumper at no cost, if you're planing to buy this cars, turbo is not well done YET. if those bast.......rs at vw say this car is good they won't say no to give you that minimum warranty. Don't be fool by them.

  • Volkswagen needs to give us Americans the Scirocco!!!

  • TOO BAD THE WHEELS LOOK HORRIBLE

  • ill keep my mkv

  • The MK5 is much nicer, the rear lights of the MK6 is like a Touareg !!! I have to admit that the interior is nicer than the MK5, but I won't trade mine for an MK6 ... have to wait for the MK7 perhaps.

  • I'll keep my MK4

  • Eh. This is unfortunate.

    I'll keep my MkV.

  • The Mk V does look better, and there's not a whole lot of difference. Push came to shove, I'd take a '09 GTI on clearance

  • I loved the Mk5 but the 6 I will have to drive. They say it is better and cheaper which is awesome. Now don't get me wrong I LOVE the GTI but I just don't think the Mk6 look all that great. Unlike the last one it just doesn't look that agressive to me. That is only my opinion I may love it after I drive it.

  • Cheaper?...only to make, the bastards at VW have raised prices 3 times this year. It's nothing more than a face lifted mk5 with a cheap plastic interior. Shame on VW

  • LOVE IT !<3<3

  • Shit is you and your unfounded comment.

  • I love you too man but I love more GTI!

  • i dint plan on baying it, because it isnt a boat. I did however plan on buying it because the GTI is one of the best volkswagen models in existance.

  • looks alot better than the last gti..

  • Wer den neuen GTI mag ist noch nie ein echten 1ser GTI gefahren !

  • Our new GTi is on it's way, we should get it by the end of the month, can't wait.

  • OF THIS MONTH?????

  • Yes within the next week to 10 days at the latest why?

  • willing too buy one

  • The VW Gti Mk VI

  • dsg is 7 speed

  • very nice car

  • style is great everything but bhp , its like it has 1 bhp

  • 1. This is a 2010 VW GTI... They will start to sell this fall.. 2. The current and latest MKV GTI, with the TSI 2.0T, does 0-62mph in the low 6s.. I own a 2009 and can vouche for this car it is fast.. I heard that the other 2.0ts(FSI,TFSI) were not as good but I can't say for sure.. although it is listed at 200bhp it produces 190hp to the wheels and anyone who knows anything about cars knows that doesn't add up.. it is like closer to 210bhp already and with some tweaking can easily be high 5s

  • @newnhae it does 0-62 in 7,1 seconds, not early 6s, which is a difference

  • 22-23 grand? I would bought this car days ago if this car could be had for that low. You put some decent options on it and it's a $30k car!

  • its soo true.. my friend just picked one up and it came out to 37grand.. he got sunroof, leather seats, 18" rims like the one in the video, and black tints

  • I don't get it....the actual 2009 like nothing like this. I know it's concept but the 2009 on the VW site doesn't look anything like this one.

  • an excellent all rounder, not the quickest or the sexiest, but a car you can buy and do everything with instead of something too aggressive or sharp. i'm keen-as once they come to Oz :)

  • GTI's are getting slower! The '337' GTI hit 60 in 5.9 seconds. The 24V VR6 GTI hit 60 in 6.5 seconds. The Mk6 GTI was listed as hitting 60 in 7.0 secs. 5's... no way.

  • 7 seconds is way off i drive the mkv gti and it goes lower than 6

  • @bobrec3GTI I assure you it does not go under 7,1 seconds, i tested it, and compared it with a clio rs 200

  • @RazvanRO dude youre retarded.. theres no way it's 7.1.. thats so goddamn slow ive beaten cars like the infinity g37s off the line and on the freeway in my stock ( 2''lowered) GTI. u never tested it for yourself liar

  • @bobrec3GTI Why can't you understand i tested it with external gps receiver and a special program that tell you in how many seconds you do each 10km/h, it's impossible to be wrong. Only reason u got a short lead on that G37 is BECAUSE it's 400Kg heavier. Don't talk if you think you know cars but don't. And don't call me a retard when i talked politely you asshole.

  • World Car of the Year 2009, NICE.

  • you sir are correct

  • The MK5 had a 7 second 0-60 and now because of a 10HP bump it'll get into the 5 second range. That's tough to swallow. .

  • horse pa-wah

  • I love GTI series! powerful and energetic ride

  • I've been driving my folks' VWs for years now. A jetta and a kombi. I've been looking toward VW for my first owned car and I think I found it.

  • great car i love it.but if i get one i will change wheels

  • wait for the VW bluesport!

  • HA! i just got back from test driving this baby! Im pretty sure im getting it too. it was SOO nice, i drove the DSG bc it was all they had, but if i get it im getting manual FOR SURE!

  • yeah but a turbo isn't good enough. i want 2 turbos or a turbo and supercharger.

  • WTF? Since when were Jettas built in Mexico? Is that why they are cheaper than GTIs?

  • Jettas have been built in Mexico since the 1980s. Very few of the Jettas are sold in Europe (there they are called 'Vento'). I have a 1998 Jetta built in Mexico and all current Jetta models are built in Mexico.

    Golfs (i.e. Rabbits) and GTIs are made in Germany, however.

  • 0-60 in 5?! This guy is a fucking dumb shit! I just test drove it today. I will say that it is a "very quick" car, but it just feels so God damn light, which is kind of scary. I felt as though if I were to drive aggressively I would end up eating shit. I drove the CC as well...VERY floaty suspension..and the clutch in both cars is weird...

  • 0-60 in the high 5-sec range is very plausible. I have a 2008 GTI w/ 6 sp manual, and it feels nearly as quick as my '06 WRX which had over 300 hp at the flywheel. My WRX was in the high 4-sec, 0-60 range, so the current GTI is easily in the low 6s...no doubt about it. He was dead-on about VW being conservative in it's hp and performance specs. Subaru is the same as well. My "230 hp" 2006 WRX TR dyno'd at >250 hp. These are verifiable facts proven by repeated dynos.

  • That's all good and well. The fact remains that on their own website, you are provided with a 0-60 time of 7.3 seconds. Why would VW lie about a 0-60 time AS BEING HIGHER THAN IT REALLY IS? Are they wrong? I had a 2000 Jetta GLX, which I loved mind you so I am a tremendous fan of VW. I drove the 08 Jetta and I thought that sucked as well. I'm sorry though. As to the GTI you are wrong. Thumbs me down all you wish.

  • To address your question, why would VW underrate their hp, torque, and performance figures...for insurance reasons - just as muscle cars in the 60s and 70s were spec'd low to lower insurance costs for the buyer. Don't be so sure of yourself, when it's obvious you don't know what you're talking about. Ferrari and Mercedes consistently low-ball their performance specs, just as VW does. VW is not "lying"...they are simply being conservative & doing the buyer a favor by keeping insur. costs down.

  • And it is YOU, menace14ts, who is the dumb shit. Relax, and educate yourself, rather than going ballistic on highly educated and intelligent automotive experts such as the gentleman from Car and Driver. He's a class act, and has been studying cars and automotive technology for 25+ years. As have I. Read this post from 5 mo ago: kimchii29C&D got the car to 60 in 6.1. Not to mention VW underates their cars. I just dynoed my car yesterday...225hp 239tq at the crank.

  • Insurance companies don't do their own tests? Insurance companies don't have the resources to effectively assess what exactly it is they insure? Are you sure that the insurance companies are stupid twats? You are fucking stupid. I don't need your fucking bio because nothing can bolster or support your ignorance into the realm of relevancy. You address me as sir if at all. Dismissed.

  • God isnt a proper noun. No need to capitilize it.

  • Oops damn I did spell that wrong. Here let me return the favor. God isnt a name really its more along the lines of mom or dad which arent names but more titles. You spelled about and fucking wrong. " I know of a god" so theres an example of it not being capitalized (see I learned). Pointing ou your mistake in grammar doesnt make me gay unless you were saying it as if it made me happy to do so. It must suck to be the piece of shit person you are...

  • maaan they should put like a 2 liter tsi inthe gti and make it awd.

  • The R20 will be AWD and will be a 270-HP turbo 4-cyl engine.

  • is the scirocco ever coming to the US?

  • NO. it would hurt the sale of the GTI since they are almost the same car.

  • 200 hosspaha

  • Well you know what they say about people and there opinions.

  • piccolina,sei sempre stata il mio sogno,ma questa volta sarai mia......devo riuscire ad averti

  • that is one sexy car

  • how much does it take to go 0-100mph? anyone know?

  • Most likely around 7 sec, considering you mean 0-100 km/h..

  • watch the vid again

  • Did he say 5?

  • 6.9

  • never as good as MK1/2

  • Motorcycle riders don't like illegal u-turns and lack of turn signal use. Then again, I don't like it when in my truck either.

  • Wow, are you serious? That's really cooll haha I'm pretty sure this is one of my favorites now! haha Thanks for making the video

  • The only thing I would do is get some other wheels. Otherwise I love it!

  • Man ~ that looks top notch.....

    stealing A4 buyers from AUDI.....

    I hated the r32's rear exhaust..tip

    this one looks aggressive...rear and front..

    Will my wife let me get one? :(

  • Audi is owned by VW....

  • Fantastic !!! My Favorite !

  • the interior as usual is better in german cars

  • I'm getting it!

  • somehow reminds me of the scirocco...

  • I like everything but the grill because it is just so dang tiny. I loved the front of the MkV because of its simplicity. And I'll agree. It's a GTI, not a Lancer. If any car in their lineup needs a change, it's the Jetta.

  • the one thing i wish is that Winterkorn started selling the MkVI for this model year. I probably mig

  • The design of the wheels looks like it can tear up the asphalt!

  • looks great but the "lipstick" looks funky

  • body styling i love it, is conformative? well yes is golf gti, elegant, sutle.

    the guy the talk in the video talk wrong

    20 grand? i golf 5 gti cost 27 grand , and 0 .60 ??

  • err... looks japaneseish. too organic and swoop looking. body styling seems conformative.

  • I agree that the new GTI looks more "Japanese." However, I think that this new design approach is a good thing. It looks more clean and simple, yet refined and balanced.

  • Hopefully they leave the all the little Gremlins out of the MkVI.

    VW has admitted that they overdesigned the MkV, without enough thought to practical construction.

    I like the GTI's, but I don't quite trust VW yet.

  • no it does not in my oppinion. Germans would never copy Japanese design it goes the other way. I see more Japanese cars copying the german sesign like the lexus copying Mercedes.

  • damn, I need to hurry up and pay off my 07

  • 0-60 in the 5's this guy doesnt really no wat hes talking bout hes 2 nervous lol

  • its possible.

    the mk5 0-100 time of 6.9 secs with DSG is under rated. with a good launch, it will do a 6.5

    the mk6 with a little more HP and a good launch might be able to do it under 5 secs

  • mk5 with dsg can do about 6 secs max, but 10hp will not bring that to under 5...

  • he said "into the 5's" so probably just below 6

  • I own an GTI as well! Glad they kept the same alloy wheel style! Just hope they could include OSRAM LEDs headlights as well!

  • i personally own an 'o7 MK5 GTI, and although I did have the PCV issue, it was fixed in about 30min and was free (recall). I don't have any rattles, and honestly, its one of the better made VW's. It's decently fast and handles excellently. The Civic Si handles slightly better but the VW GTI is definitely faster.

  • and you can use it for a lot more than the si. I have an 06 which is pretty much the same and I love beating dbag civic drivers.

    I love the new look GTI though and adding 10 more HP will be a nice addition

  • I have an '07 and I do have the dash rattle. It is annoying, but other than that the car is great. The rattle wouldn't keep me from purchasing a GTI in the future.

  • Hopefully the MkVI will be put together better than the MkV. VW has pretty much come out and amitted that the MkV was overengineered, without much consideration for construction practicality. This is why phrases like "The Dash Rattle", "The Window Rattle" "The PCV Fix" are commonplace on GTI MkV forums. Love the idea of these cars, but the horror stories about owning a trouble probe rattletrap with only 10,000 mile son it turn me off.

  • i got my gti in 2005 and iv never had any rattles from the dash or windows..amazing cars

  • it will look better in black and red :D

    Cannot wait for the gti GT

  • Black cars look great....for about a month, unfortunately.

  • Why only one month???

  • As soon as you wash it, you're already swirling the hell out of the paint. Doesn't really matter how careful you are...black paint shows every little flaw.

  • awesome

  • im not crazy about the back.. the lights look like the vw truck..

  • Its slower to 0-100km/h wtf?

  • the GTI look much more better

  • como me gusta este auto

  • holy $yieeat

    speechless :|

    just dont know wat to say

  • 7 speed dsg*

  • Built in Mexico?!

    How neat

  • he said the new jetta (bora) was going to be built a year after the new golf release... and made in mexico (not the golf neither the GTi =( ... sorry but the golf and the GTi will always be built in Germany

  • I love VW...

  • German cars are the best!

  • why cant the guy say "POWER"? strange!

  • I wish that car was for sale right now. Love this GTI. I wasnt too crazy about the looks of the MK5 GTI.

  • If it isn't a plug in hybrid or all electric, I don't give a flying crap what it looks like!

  • you're looking at the wrong car.

  • sorry for bad spelled words i got mad on this twit with a4

  • A4 A4 A4 omg ur need to se doctor i would rather drive gti then mercedes S i mean if i get S i would sell it and buy gti and r32 lol

  • great value at 22 to 23k? you can get an audi A4 estate for that price brand new, and its much bigger.

  • LOL

  • get this idiot away from car it makes it very bad .. gonna buy 1 of this this is something perfect, cant wait to see r32 ...

  • Horsepahh

  • Horsepahh

  • LOLOL

  • Sick

  • I don't need GTI version. A normal Golf 6 will have 1.4 litre engine with 160 BHP which is enough and fuel consumption will be only 40 mpg and that's a petrol. Great engine!!!!111

  • Excelent new GTI, It gives me great confidence to know that the cars will be made in mexico....for experience.

  • not really the cars look better

  • Muy lindo el auto

    p/d:VEan mis videos

  • I wonder if this one has a sludgy engine like the Audi

  • what? sludgy audi engine? no such thing. the 2.0t got engine of the year

  • rims are awsome..like them:)

  • You're awesome.

  • I don't know if i should buy a GTI now,

    or wait for this one to come out...

    I like all the GTI's lol.

  • If I'm right there is gonna be a V5 turbocharged... u should wait for that ;)

  • I looked at VW's a couple of years ago. Loose interior parts including the automatic shift lever, loud road noise, poor fit on body parts, ....In other words, a major piece of crap. Next!

  • Nice little Pocket Rocket

    DH

  • love it..but the grill looked better on the old model...this one is too "small"

  • Wow- what they don't say is that this car will probably be spending more time in your dealer's service bay than your garage, Of the 36 major manufacturer brands sold in the US, VW is ranked 33 in reliability. So what does VW do to address this? They dropped their basic warranty from 48 to 36 months. I guess they figure why should VW fix their own mistakes, when the customer can instead!

  • Built in Mexico, in a German sweatshop for cheap labour
