Question after owning this car for some time now, have you experienced any faulty transmission problems, such as the car engages in neutral by itself, rough idling, or the car wont shift and will stay in a lower gear??....just curious because im getting one soon......
@taylor1212eminem Good. Cause most people don't. And it irks me. Espcially when I'm turing left to yeild and they are sitting there, I don't know if they are going strait or turning. Or if I'm behind them, should I pass them or wait, cause they don't have their turn signal on, i don't know what to do but sit. And then they turn their signal on, its like thanks butt head. Sorry had to rant.
@kangalex It does pretty well. It also depends on the tires that you have on the car. Last winter I had the stock all-season pirrelli tires. I would say that the tire for snow is average, maybe slighted above average. The only problems with the gti
In snow is that it's FWD and it has so much torque that it likes to spin the tires easily if you don't control the throttle properly. I did try flooring it on a snow covered road with ESP on and it controlled the willspin very well.
@taylor1212eminem If you put snow tires on a car, can you pretty much just go the speed limit and take turns as usual, or do you still have to drive slowly and extra-carefully?
@nelson4568 Oh She handles like a hooker riding a crackhead. If She starts to understeer, just slap the wheel a bit and she will obey. And She will spin her wheels if you turn off pussy restriction control. She's great!
@taylor1212eminem hahahahaha thanks man...im probably trading in my fj soon for a 2011 im just used to driving a rwd and 4wd car all the time but when it snows theres at least 2 other cars in my family with 4wd
@taylor1212eminem by about .1 of a second, i just love the feel of shifting myself going through gears, etc, and id say they both make the same sound, same engine right?
@speacialperson12345 The automatic shifts in 8 milliseconds. The best pro driver can shift in about a quarter of a second. So for the average person they will not e shifting that fast. The auto also makes a great burble noise when shifting gears.
@taylor1212eminem So, which transmission to get? Call us Luddites if you must (Luddites!), but if your desire is a satisfying driver’s car, then there is no question that the six-speed manual is the box to get. It’s just more fun. Oh yes, we know that the DSG can change gears faster (VW claims 1/10 of a second) and all that, but it feels artificial.
i copied this from a review, not 8 miliseconds, only about 1 tenth of a second like VW says. as well as what i said
HA HA I can tell the he loves the way that steering wheel feels!! Man I drove one of these with a 6spd manual, this thing blew me away with the immediate torque right off idle, quiet interior and BMW esque seats!!! Puts the competition right out the window, no matter if they have more power or not!!!
Beautiful car man. Great engine sounds!!! Nice 2.0 turbo. I drive the 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 myself (the enemy haha) but I'm a huge fan of the GTI and I think VW did an outstanding job with the MK VI. =)
I have been informed that at 1:00 he ran over a clild play street.

The turn signal clicking is actually computer generated by the GTI. The turn signals don't actually make sounds :-)
