4:06 - says the rear seats "fold COMPLETELY flat" 4:12 - shows that the rear seats don't fold completely flat 🙈 Seems like a silly thing to point out, but this is the single detail that I came here to find out! Thanks for the demo though, still answered my question ;)
I think what he really meant to say was that they fold almost flat and there's no edge between the seats and the rear. And that would be fair to point out. - But yeah, could have worded that better, that's true. - but other than that, pretty flawless review.
got a Mk7 Golf Sportwagen (read Estate) for $24k here in the US including tax. Limited trim, it has most of the things mentioned in this video including a massive sunroof. I love it, good to live with so far.
OMG I was really worried, but I've been put at ease, you CAN fit crisps in the glove box! (P.S: I am yet to meet someone who puts crisps in the glove box!) 🤗😂😂😂
I drive a '15 tsi se Sportwagon, 1.8t. It is amazing to drive with 170hp/200 torque. Never broken down. Best mpg has been 39 mpg on road trip. This has 6sp auto. They should have offered a GTI Sportwagon. Cheers and VW discontinued reg Golfs in the states even though see alot of them.
@@dmitrymalikov4613 Doing great, 68k miles. Still no problems with the car, feels like new still. About to get brakes, tranny and coolant service. Keep it running as long as possible. I drive it hard sometimes and this helps burn off carbon. Amazing engine! Castrol Edge full synthetic 5w40 which was factory fill. I tried Castrol Edge 0w40 which has a higher lube rating by Mercedes Benz, maybe less wear on cold start up. 10k drain intervals I would like to find a 2018 golf for my wife but she likes the heated steering wheel in her Fiat 500x. Cheers
@@dmitrymalikov4613 у меня другой мотор правда, 1.0 Tsi, 115 лс и 200 крутящего. Но в европе он был чипован, и какая мощность у него сейчас не знаю. Прошел год, наездил 45000 км, пока проблем не было. Пробег сейчас 150 000.
There is a reason for that, you know... Nobody is so fool to buy an expensive car if there are no benefits. The competition is tight. Why I would spend money on a VAG car instead of a japanese one? Just an example: the plastics in Mazda 6 are cheaper than what you find in a Golf. For example mazda 6 interior vs Skoda Octavia (that is cheaper than a golf): "However, when you compare the interiors, the Skoda claws back a lot of ground, with the Octavia’s cabin beating the ‘6’ on almost every level. For us, the Skoda feels a lot more user friendly, with a modern design and easy to read dials. In comparison, the Mazda feels dated, with small LED displays and an abundance of cheap plastics." Source : www.honestjohn.co.uk/our-cars/skoda-octavia/skoda-octavia-v-mazda-6/ . So there are Pro and Cons for each car, depending on what are you looking for.
Namastey CarBuyer, I have gone through a youtube video nearly a year back. I am not memorizing the car but it have heated steering wheel, gear knob, door handles & seats. Also equipped with adaptive headlights & shockers, it have 100% LED and the company claims that not a single bulb have been used. I believe you know the model or the series. Thank you.
If I extend your theory, then Mercedes should be able to charge you premium AMG spec prices on their normal models since AMG 600hp versions are not that nice to have as a daily driver in comparison to the lower model car. Same goes for supercars and what not...
Why are all cars nowdays so fricking expensive in thr UK now?... Even the most beige of motors has a starting price of £25k!.. £30k+ for that!?.. Either Im getting old, manufacturers are taking the mick or people are just plain daft for paying a mortgage deposit for 4 wheels nowdays
so there i was looking into the abyss thats the golf boot to be told it foldsflat when you put the back seats down hmm i was sure it wasnt flat so why not say nearly fat cos thats wot it is cheers xx
VAG cars in my opinion are not that reliable. My Passat engjne failed at only 18,000 miles due to an oil drive defect. The fuel pump was recalled, the electronic handbrake failed three times!
Wow, you say this only because your car's engine failed, right? Well, me and all my relatives own a VAG car. Not a single problem! But I would never say that all VAG cars are reliable. www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/gallery/the-20-best-car-brands-listed/skoda/ The most reliable car brand in that chart is a Skoda BTW.
@@republicanu im trading in my skoda as water pump seal has failed and apparently it's close to the cambelt @73,000mi. the 'slow leaking' coolant has gone onto the cambelt allegedly causing it to 'fatiugue' meaning i have to pay for a new pump/seal and cambelt change, guess what, i'm trading it in for this exact model/spec and colour golf, because i actually wanted a non GTD with the uprated suspension (ok it's 150bhp vs the 178bhp on the gtd but slightly cheaper insurance), i like a firmer ride, but also have a family and husky to consider on a daily basis. But all VAG cars are pretty decent in general VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat/Lambourghini lol... well they are owned by VAG ;-)
Very disappointed with my Golf Variant 2016. High beam headlights not working (a software problem they said), they have to change the water pump for overheating problems, the coolant/antifreeze signal was not working properly… 8 visits to vw official service in 1.5 years and 25.000 km… I wish I had kept my old vw Golf and I think this one will be my last vw.
g00dfeeling Look at the Golf MK4 or an old Phaeton and compare them to other cars from that time. They were called "boring" too, but these things still look good today while the "exciting" looking cars from that time will most likely have aged way worse.
Car Freak yep, I quite liked the "Kodo" design previous gen 3, 6 and CX5 and while the new ones are ok but the current versions seem to have lot their way but the new CX9 is a good looking car.
I’m thinking of getting this car (2018) in a 2-3 years time, for about 15g euros. Please recommend a better option with similar mpg/boot space/reliability, thanks! Btw I don’t care for sportyness or looks, just to get from a to b
"The most sensible car money can buy" yet you call it boring, uncomfortable, has nasty cheap plastic and COSTS WHAT!!!! £34,000.00 "F%&#!" No thanks, even you realise that is NOT the most sensible car, that would be a VOLVO, which is a nicer looking, safer, classier, bigger car from a company that really cares about people and don't sell cheating, polluting cars.
Del Mac the Volvo is much more expensive and in real world third party tests, Volvo engines have been found to be amongst the dirtiest (FCA the worst, then Nissan-Renault) several times more than VW. In fact, VWs diesels are cleaner than the industry average, but they were amongst the only manufacturers who sold diesels in the U.S.
Dave Travels:- I don't know where you come from, but here in the UK the Volvo V40 is priced from £20,715 to £24,015 however the VW Golf estate ranges from £19,470 to £35,700, so guess your wrong there, no matter what party test, real world or not. According to the latest "Euro 6" emission standards Volvo is not even listed in the top 17 manufacturers that are the worst polluters. You are also wrong again about VW being the only ones selling diesel cars in America as BMW also do, as do Ford, GMC, Chevrolet, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Mercedes, Nissan & Ram. You could not be more wrong as VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat diesel engines, as they are so foul and polluting that they give out 20 times the max legal limit, and have been fined, I think, $6 Billion in America and now the German Environmental Agency are after VW/Audi for their deceit, lying and cheating over their "Illegal" polluting diesel engines. You are full of misinformation and plain wrong on everything you say.
I own a Volvo with the D5, 5cyl Diesel engine and I love it! But we have to stay real here, what Dave wrote is the latest data, I've also read that article. In fact, the least polluting Diesel when it comes to NOx is actually a 2.0tdi Audi A5 (on par with an E220d if I remember correctly) with the new software with 40mg/km (with 80mg/km being the Euro 6 limit). VAG did fuck up with the cheating but let's stick to the facts
Sam Thomas I still have no idea why anyone buys sedans. They all look ugly compared to estates and serve no purpose unless you like to waste a lot of useful boot space.
With Dogs, Kids, trips to the garden centre, recycling centre, weekly shopping, etc they are very practical...choosing between one of the crossovers and an Estate Id take the Wagon all day long
