    I’m considering the Passat Alltrack with the DSG. In Sweden they come with either a 170hp diesel or a 211hp gas engine, so, even if it’s not as good as the Golf, it still got some umpf. I appreciate the video!

    Awesome video man. Got a question if you dont mind. Do you have to be at a full stop to shift modes (say from sport to drive) or can you do it while driving around?

  11. BGRedStarBG says:

    Zer gut indeed! Nice video man, keep them coming.

  12. gtiman67 says:

    No you can go to the red line wap the paddle and simply continue accelerating :)

  13. kvnhmmd says:

    lol @ 5:50

  14. gtiman67 says:

    That’s too much in my opinion… And it still wont be a GTI!? I heard we will get a watered down version here in the US not the Euro version :(

    Heya! By the way what do you think of thr VW Gold R, Im from England and if you fully spec up the VM Golf R then it can cost aroun £43,000 which is VERY expensive for a golf.

  16. gtiman67 says:

    @ProudPoppin You can do either. If you are not wanting to slow down in order to speed up again – like in the Apex of a corner, you simply let the DSG downshift on it’s own (at a red light for example). It will gradually do it in tiptronic mode… It will “dramatically” Downshift in Sport… almost immediately as you take your foot off the accelerator (it thinks you are coming into a corner racing and knows you want to get grip and accelerate out of the corner)!? :-)

    Lol I found this video again, just to watch the end when you mock ppl who talk about the dsg. Halarious !

  18. jackietreehorn1000 says:

    I agree good vid, I think that Gtiman67 should do ricky gervias style pod cast internet podcast, he is naturally very funny! The rant at the end “if you do not own the mk5 etc etc” genius!

  19. gtiman67 says:

    After you stop, yes. Some say if there is no load on the engine you can do it. But it will immediately stop shifting like normal and go all the way up to the RED LINE before changing. And it sounds louder too!

  20. admir2410 says:

    I have a question. While riding the D, whether it can be transferred to S ?

  21. KottonMouth86 says:

    - i call BS… unless your driving a motorcycle! your not doing 4.8s to 60mph… maybe kmh

  22. gtiman67 says:

    Much oblidged! I am working on some new ones soon.

  23. OLTCITKA says:

    Thanks for the video! It was real informative and you are really good on camera. (though you can’t actually be seen,you really know how to make us feel the way you do about the car…) It was very clear the way you explained and I really enjoyed watching your videos. And don’t mind these othere negative comments,I think they are jealous,I mean the VW Mk5 GTI is a great cat indeed,(they probably can’t afford one),so great choice in buiyng that car! Thanks again for the videos!

  24. jackietreehorn1000 says:

    I think this Video is comedy gold
    “I can just go in sport mode and kick your ass that way”
    Plus the fact that this dude sounds exactly like Bill Hicks……Please make more videos!

  25. Ciupanezu1987 says:

    Thanks for wasting my time asshole!
    I thought the first video was an accident, but you are truly retarded.
    You surely love yourself and don’t stop talking shit instead of making an interesting video about the car.
