Futrell Autowerks 2010 VW MK6 GTI Test Drives & Reviews

[W4TCH4W]

damn put 0:50 that was so sudden damn ! They were like talking and chilling and then suddenly BAM!

[dusannestorov]

MERCEDES AMG IS THE BEST CARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boon111]

I can't wait till i get my 2011 Gti, I've been waiting months a total of 6months wait till I receive it, in September. Too bad I can't mod it, it will be a company lease car until 2 years :(

[o0jun0o]

did u lease or buy the car

ppl who mod their cars buy cars rather than lease, am i right?

[FutrellAutowerks]

@JamalGibran That would never happen, Golf possibly, GTI no way.

[lbryan250]

@FutrellAutowerks who knows? look at the GLI, they kept the interior in the jetta

[Psythik]

Too many buttons on the steering wheel? More like not enough!

[rushcreek77]

I have averaged 26.5 overall with a mix of city and hwy (60/20) since I got it 4 months ago. Get around 25 city and 33 hwy if I take it easy and stay out of the boost. If you're in it all the time, the mileage will be a lot worse and youll have a lot more fun. Beyond that, this car rules.

[ChristewieTV]

I drove one today, loved it over the Mini

[yoonjaechung]

@FutrellAutowerks honestly, how reliable are gti's? I think they are very nice cars, the shape, and look and feel, but i know that vw doesnt have a good track record with reliability.

your thoughts? comments?

[kyle7300]

@yoonjaechung wait what????? vw has an outstanding track record of reliability. i beat the shit out of my car off the lot, my brother has a csrt4 and tried to drive it hard off the lot and check e light came on 2 days after and had a major vacuum leak. dad has mazdaspeed 3 with a little work and he snapped his rods.... so i think other automakers "performance" cars r unreliable dude...

[kyle7300]

@yoonjaechung also i can prob. piss in my mk1 gti's gas tank and itll prob. fire right up!lol

[puerroputo]

What's the real mpg for this car? Not the estimated, I wanna know the real reads from owners. I like this car more than my girlfriend (but I never said that, ok), and I'm planning a change. The only reason that could stop me from getting this one is if the mpg is worst than the car I have now... Thanks for the help.

[FutrellAutowerks]

@puerroputo Driving style will effect it but they do get 30 MPG on the highway and in the 20s in town.

[puerroputo]

@FutrellAutowerks Thank you very much. I really appreciate your response.

[DjTusha]

@puerroputo once you break in the cars engine, your see better milage. I drive a 09 and it also depends on driving style. Currently I'm getting 30 city and 45 highway.

[puerroputo]

@DjTusha Thank you very much. It's about the same as my car...which is great. Thans again.

[hardenedman]

@puerroputo I did a 1,100 mile trip on highway with some traffic through major cities and it returned just under 35mpg while averaging 63mph. Around town with mixed driving I get 26 mpg

[thesundays1973]

@puerroputo after 8000 miles of both calm and not so calm driving i am showing average of 31mpg

[xdx1990]

@puerroputo "The only reason that could stop me from getting this one is if the mpg is worst than the car I have now"  - Don't be a pussy, get it anyway

[Perazzi11]

@puerroputo i have a 06 MKV and i get 28 around city and 30 on the freeway going 75-78

[icemanf109]

this car is a car made correctly! im so happy for this car. everything is very well done. it reminds me of the VW Corrado which i drive.

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

Now only if VW can make them more reliable after the 100, 000 miles mark.

[speacialperson12345]

love this car, imma subscribe to ur channel

[MaksimSF]

well if u guys can make same numbers as APR, Unitronic, ect for half a price, then you may get yr share on market

[dreams2memories]

I picked this car up 3 months ago. Love it. I had a 94 in the past. But this car is somethin else. Only thing I've done is just tint the windows and bolted on the Forge VAG Blow off valve adapter. Curiosity, you wouldn't happen to know what kind of power the stock internals can handle reliably would you.

[Ge0vone]

Are you guys based in Oregon?

[FutrellAutowerks]

@Ge0vone Yes we are, 18155 SW Baseline Rd in Beaverton 97006

[kwelitysoul]

thanks guys for the genuine commentary (the guys in the vid)...the GTI is an awesome car and unfortunately dorks in the States would rather get an IS 250, 328i, g37, etc....just try to be unlike someone else and get a super clean car down to the little things for 5k less...

[Koruephiroth]

What do you mean with Stg.II and Stg.III ??

[FutrellAutowerks]

@Koruephiroth Stage 1, 2, 3 refer to the different tuning levels, in general Stage 1 is software, software/intake, Stage 2 is software/intake/downpipe (or full exhaust), Stage 3 is larger turbo, downpipe/exhaust, specific operating software. There's also a host of supporting mods such as intercooler, motor mounts/mount inserts, pulley kits, etc.

[k1ng92]

@FutrellAutowerks how much would stage 1, 2 and 3 tuning levels cost for everything (i know there are variables, but i was wondering what the ball park price range would be for each)

[FutrellAutowerks]

@k1ng92 $660 for Stage 1 $1650ish for Stage II and Stage 3 jumps about to about $5500, Prices include labor. But there's lots of variables as you move your way up the ladder, like intercooler, clutch, LSD, etc. Check out our Stage II dyno video-

[jduong1594]

@FutrellAutowerks i'm sorry but did you say LSD?! :D

[jonisd]

how much would the chip run you ?????

[FutrellAutowerks]

$599 + Install charges, check out our other videos to see the software only gains on another 2010 GTI.

[jpcallmotor]

Any risks of going Stg.III at such a low mileage? I am sure you guys continue proper break in period anyways, right?

I drive an APR tuned B5 A4 1.8T. A simple chip upgrade is the best mod you can do to any VAG motor.

[FutrellAutowerks]

The biggest risk would be a part being defective on the base engine that led to a unwarrantably failure. In general its best to start with software/intake, then work your way up the ladder; downpipe, turbo upgrade (if desired), etc. Check out our other videos; we're getting 250 WHP and 290 ft.lbs of torque with just software/downpipe/exhaust, hard to beat that performance!

[speacialperson12345]

@FutrellAutowerks wow, isnt stock 200WHP and about 204 ftlbs of torque? i think, thats really good with just software, and an exhaust.

[FutrellAutowerks]

@speacialperson12345 Yes thats about what we're seeing despite those numbers being the claimed wheel horsepower numbers from VW (see our other dynos for stock results at 200 WHP)

[speacialperson12345]

@FutrellAutowerks ok, thanks

[andrescs86]

just got this today! i love it

[Meerkat646]

I love this car but

i Just wish they change the driving age law to 13+

[ceetee1459]

I just picked mine up on Friday and I spent the whole weekend driving my mk6

[esca8652]

it looks better than the mazdaspeed3 and it's smaller, but unfortunately so is the engine, 2.0l just doesn't sounds like enough for a 3100 lb car, but it appears it still has good acceleration.

[ceetee1459]

If its not fast enough for you, you can always chip it : ) I just got mine today, believe me, its plenty fast!!

[esca8652]

oh i mean, i know it would be extremely fast for me, i drive a 92 corolla lol so it would be more than enough.

[CoonBabble]

does "chippin it" void the warranty?

[ceetee1459]

Only if the dealership finds out what you did.

[CoonBabble]

the gti im looking at has 4 miles. obviously not a test driven model...

[menamena1982]

i just got mine a week ago and the dealer oferd me the chip for 600 hundred bucks and it has waranty on it with the chip.

[migs702]

how many hp does it add? im getting one soon :)

[FutrellAutowerks]

See our other videos to find out! Choose APR software for your "chip" it allows you to lock the ECU in its stock form so its undetectable to the dealer.

[ceetee1459]

None of this would be an issue if VW would just sell a 265hp version of the damn car!

[ceetee1459]

It should bring you up to about 265hp

[CoonBabble]

i always thought it was bad to go hard on a car with that few miles on it...

[FutrellAutowerks]

@CoonBabble Its really best to break in the engine how you intend to use it. A sudden change in more aggressive driving a couple thousand miles into operation will likely result in oil consumption. Don't abuse the engine on break in but run it up in the manner you intend to drive the car for optimal results.

[CoonBabble]

not trying to be an idiot, but is this coming from a certified mechanic? i just dont want to excessively wear my engine or damage it based on the words of a non-mechanic. im assuming you are though? cheers

[CoonBabble]

haha nevermind i saw the rest of your guys' videos you are all infact certified mechanics.. thanks for the info

[noodles297]

You should see what the dealership guys do to cars when they go out and drive them sometimes.

[grado1000]

Thanks for posting! I'm extremely impressed with the MK VI.

[ceetee1459]

I'm giving up my Mini Cooper R56s for this car. The Mini has more features and better handling but the GTI has more power and a smoother ride.

[cuddlypoop]

any turbo lag?

[FutrellAutowerks]

The turbo is very small and the torque off boost from the 2.0L powers into the turbo spool quite nicely, you don't notice any lag, even stock.

[milybluhoo]

20th ae was the best gti ever made

[FutrellAutowerks]

Up until its time the 20th was probably the best GTI ever built, but the solid rear axle killed it, both the MK5 GTI and now the MK6 are superior, with some luck we'll see a special edition package of the MK6 with unique colors and Recaros like the 20th. Check out our 20th AE build in our Flickr Gallery.

[theslimist1]

The 20th & 337 had the best seats in any gti ever made period. The mk2 though for me is the best gti ever made! Maybe because it was my first car and me missing those days but after owning a mk4 and an audi A3 i still miss my 89 gti 16v and it will always be my favorite car ever

[55NoThanks]

I love that intake growl under full throttle. My Mk5 does it too, but I understand the engineers have made the Mk6 sound even better. I do hope VW has addressed the interior rattle issue. Apparently it wasn't just my car.

[Aroc89]

What is the difference between a VW GTI & VW MK6 GTI? Are they both available in north america?

[FutrellAutowerks]

@Aroc89 In 2010 Volkswagen released the new MK6 GTI which is the platform on which the car is built.

[jtjdt]

Great review. Thank you for showing off the iPod/iPhone connectivity. Love the engine sounds too :-)

[mrtrendvampire]

lol@ i can get 30somthing mpg if i go on the freeway?

[thebloody1]

@mrtrendvampire I take it he lives in the City which doesnt have much highways.. instead called freeways I take it as City mpg and Highway mpg

[mrtrendvampire]

i was lol@ the LOW mpg!!! or what you guys would call high, we would call LOW!!!

[thebloody1]

Agreed.

[caliberguy07]

top speed with governor limit is 126 mph for the american version

[MegaFresh2death]

ha, this is off baseline near Beaverton, Or.

[ElectroHouseR818]

yeah 130.

[josuelitos]

anybody knows whats the top speed of the gti mk6?

[CuChiBaRaCuNdiNgA]

@josuelitos it is electronically limited to 149mph, but a simple chip can fix that and give you +50 bhp for less than $175>!

[ElectroHouseR818]

i believe its 130 or 155

[Robtarded]

same as the mk5 its a 2.0T the engine is the same as the past years...if you go to the VW website and look at specs it should show the horse power

[miike12345]

149

[burntchicken66]

good job breaking in the car :)

[temperamentalvw]

look at that handsome guy in the 8380 shirt at 4:50... what a fucking douche ;D

i had fun driving that car and making random hand motions while talking, thanks FutrellAutowerks!
