The main difference between the GTI and Civic Type R is that the GTI has class!

[htkhghtr]

@JUYANIK Don't forget the T word....torque. Japs don't believe in it.

@fadey786 i agree with you on the basis of cars. its just for some reason Americans have been lacking enthusiasm for technology

[aaronchungrulez]

@GapToN eh, maybe that was a bad example, looking in hindsight. i just think the GTI is sorta like a brick- old-school, and rugged, while the civic is like a polished aluminum box- modern and light, technically more reliable than a brick. but it lacks the "fullness" of a GTI, the brick has a core, the aluminum box is a metaphor to the civic beinc a reliable and modern jap-box

@aaronchungrulez I like GTI waaay more than Civic. I now own a Golf VI GT. However, japanese Sake can be extremely luxurious, delicate and expensive. And no I am not Japanese, I just think you should know.

I now have this car, with the DSG transmission. The engine in this car, the TSI - is shockingly high revving for a VW. It will absolutely pull clear to redline in every gear (well as far as I can tell.. haven't explored six gear redline lol). There are high revs and torque with this car. It could easily put more boost on ... you get the feeling the car is tamed in stock mode (to save money on warranty use events). Even stock though this will rapidly slay boring gas hog SUVs.

[aaronchungrulez]

when you buy a civic, you get a honda... but when you buy a GTI, wou get a VW! both germans and japanese can build fantastic cars, but the japanese cant match the classiness of the germans. why have sake when you can drink henikin?

Ive been watching these 10 best videos and its amazing how much I agree with these guys.

BMW, VW, and Honda are the winners in my eyes.
