  16. The whole, keep your hands on the steering wheel problem has been a thing for ages. My Skoda from 2019 has the exact same problem. When I'm going down a straight road. The car haven't had any movement of the steering wheel in a while so it complains about the fact that you're not steering. you don't have to steer the road is straight!
    Stupid. Luckily I can turn of my steering assists permanently within the menu.

  19. You are starting to get the brand Cupra, a Spanish -VW brand that has something different … a bit more spice in the cars because they are designed in Spain, engineered in Germany but tuned in Spain Seat facility, spacially the top ones, like the Formentor VZ5 that is not sold in Australia, a 5 cilinder ythat can go upt to 400-450hp easy with a repro and nothing more. Beats any golf. That is probably why VW has limited the units of that engine. Yes there is a Leon Cupra R but it is more close to the Golf.

  21. Amazing review, BRAVO! I had an MK7.5 stage 3 with almost all the upgrades possible (loved it more than my Audi RS7). Didn't like the MK8, but its started to grow slowly on me, and maybe I will get the facelift;)

  27. Hilarious end of the video haha. Does this one come with an OPF, or is it still different across the world? Also, is the sound in the cabin enhanced through speakers? I ordered an Audi S3, just trying to figure out what mods I'd be doing in the end by comparing more or less "similar" cars concerning engine and sound and I simply don't want to remove the OPF or resonator just for sound, as it is just a 2L engine, which is, like you say in your video, not the most beautiful when removing resonator f.e.
    Love the intake sound too btw!

  28. My opinion,take it for what that's worth.

    VW is too conservative, they are a company that designs cars by committee. They're more concerned with appealing to everyone than to a few people. There's pros and cons to that, the pro is obvious, they're the biggest car manufacturer on the planet, the con is they don't make anything unique.

    The car could be great, heck the RS3 is a great car, but it will be forgotten because there is nothing special about it.

  31. Can we please see something to do with a fully modded evo x or Ralliart? The only modded evo x I’ve seen is that stock one that lasted 1-2 vids before Marty got rid of it.
    (Idea Fully modded Ralliart vs slightly modded evo x)
