VW GTI - Episode #1 - MotorMouth.TV

In this episode of MotorMouthTV I review the VW GTI MkV and MkVI.

Top 4 reasons to buy:
1. Performance, Performance, Performance (DSG,DSG,DSG)
2. Efficient & Affordable.
3. Amazing steering wheel.
4. The 2-door A3 you want.

Top 4 reasons not to buy:
1. Could have done better on fabric.
2. 6th generation is just around the corner.
3. If you cant park, these wheels are your worse nightmare.
4. Speeding tickets on the horizon.

you don't happen to know if its possible to upgrade to the bi-xenon headlights later on at the dealership or if the parts might be offered on the commercial market? i goofed and didn't put them on my upgrade list when i ordered my gti so im getting the standard headlight system. car is being delivered in about a month. not that big of a deal but i kinda wish i noticed the difference before i made my purchase. blue tooth and ipod docking wasn't that big of a deal cause i never use that stuff.

Ya unfortunately I am not 100% sure. It is a factory installed Item, not port installed so I am not 100% sure. I am sure, however, there are some kits I just dont know how exact they are to VW specs.

someone posted below that the bluetooth/ipod connections are standard? im not so sure about that. i ordered mine it had those options as a extra feature you must pay for. also i think the touchscreen system is if up upgrade for the gps unit that also acts as your touchscreen.

[motormouthtv]

you are very right about the bluetooth, you do need to pay for those...the touch screen is standard now for the radio head in 2010 :)

hopefully i can install this at a later time at the dealership or at a 3rd party location. :( i didnt think i would need it but the closer i get to picking up my car the more i wish i went ahead and got it.
