  • Thank you so much for these reviews! They are short but to the point with great filming and music choices. Cheers!

  • The review seems to give an impression that Golf GTI is somehow a great deal and great performance for the price... a 34K 3 door hatchback lol is not exactly "high value"

  • @zbirdmusic 5.2 to 5.5!!?? get real, Edmonds review of the 2010 MS3 is a 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds. Try your math again!! My stock gti ran a 14.5 while a MS3 that was there couldn't crack 15. Probably half the drivers fault but the other half due to terrible torque steer

  • @matt2294 gti's only have 200hp... speed 3's have 265 stock, gti 0-60 6.8, speed 3 is 5.2--5.5. Try your math again. And if you wanna compare your ecu reflashed stage 1 apr, compare it to a Cobb Accessport tuned ms3 running stage 1.

  • @zbirdmusic Wow a whole 37 hp more!! VW's are so much easier to tune, that was my point. A stage 1 tune from APR will easily make a GTI quicker than a MS3 and can be modded far more extreme if desired. Look up 'APR gti stage 4' and let me know if a Mazda can get close to that

  • @matt2294 People don't blow their engines cuz of tunes these days unless they're dumb. When it was a new platform they had to work out some kinks but they got it down now. Comes with LSD stock and if you don't gun it on shitty terrain it's easily manageable @300 whp

  • @GhostCell07 you can get different wheels, go on vw.com and build the car to see for yourself

  • @zbirdmusic only if you love torque steer and an engine that can't tune bc you'll blow up your engine. FAIL

  • Mazdaspeed 3 ftw!

  • @GhostCell07 I agree. There should be an option for other wheels than the standard ones which I think makes the car look more like a toy.
