@user-vj1zi5ib3q 18 дней назад

All these manufacturers going for infotainment control versus physical buttons is disgusting. If I use my mobile phone while driving I can potentially lose my driver's license, and rightfully so. But if I want to change the inside temperature I must look at the infotainment screen. What is the difference? Absolutely absurd, and so utterly disappointing, considering the combined experience of all the designers and executives at the top levels of car companies approving and pushing for this Absolutely obvious wrong direction.

Seriously. I thought the fad would end with Tesla sales slowing, but no.. I think manufacturers caught on that they can cut cost not manufacturing buttons and dials and instead use these cheaply available standard LCD screens. Until regulations come in to stop them they will continue making these built-in driver distraction units.

picked up my 2nd mk8 Variant last week, preFL, 1.5 etsi 130hp dsg, had a 2022 1.0tsi manual (covid era, lead time for dsg was 12months+, manuals were on the lot), the etsi surprised me. I have 1.5tsi in karoq that is disengaging to neutral when you lift-off, and I thought e-tsi would do the same but will just help to keep the rolling speed longer, but it shuts of the engine and it keeps you rolling for surprisingly long distance. On parking lots it kept me at 18kmh for a full circle till I found a free spot, it is really like driving a hybrid, which has its negatives too of course, the brake pedal is completely different than on base TSI engines without the mhev, most of the time you feel like your brakes failed, you have to really press it all the way down, you also have to learn to brake earlier and generally switch your mindset to a hybrid driving, I don't know the capacity of the small battery, but it is shutting off the engine... a lot more often than I would expect it for a mhev, If they would come with this technology 15 years ago when they first started putting start-stop in cars, killing 12v batteries and starters, people would not mind it that much. But im glad you can put on coolant and oil temperature to be shown in display, so I generally keep the dsg in sport mode until the oil is at least at 80C, otherwise on short drive, even 30km, in summer, your engine may take a long time to cross 90C, and oil temperature generally in modern engines runs ideally at 95-100C, I like the eTSI, I don't like comparing manuals and automatic, I do tend to rev the engine much higher than automatic would, basically like if the dsg would be in sport mode all the time, but my average consumption on 1.0tsi 200nm 110hp manual was 5.7-6.1, on all-season tyres, on this 1.5 etsi 130hp 200Nm it's 5.1. I don't really care about the consumption, I reckon other drivers would get bigger differnce, but I like that now I don't mind start/stop to be left alone, that I produce less noise in the city, does not really make a difference in the cabin, below 90kmh you don't really know if the engine is running or not, I have to keep the rpm gauge on to actually know if the engine is shut off or not. It makes me want to buy a hybrid next time, which is weird for me to even think about it.

Loved my Golf but had to switch to Tiguan as Golf was too low for my old body! Loved the way it handled even though it was small engine (2022 US version) and somewhat de-contented. Still very peppy car, such a joy to drive. Thomas here’s a shoutout to your always good looking footwear. Oh yes, and stylish glasses.

Does the new Golf 8.5 1.5TSI still have COD (Cylinder on demand) where it goes down to 2 cylinder mode when there is low power needed? My 7.5 Golf has that. I think it is a nice feature. I can't find it on the official Volkswagen site.

On my radar. Giving up a lease BMW 520d soon - a totally brilliant car that has been a pure joy to be with for 3 years but they are now crazy money and I am not ready for electric. I am on the motorway a lot but quite fancy a smaller /sportier practical car. Is the new Golf for me ? ( rarely carry passenger ). 150bhp tsi Match seems a good spec for me.... I know it seems a big leap but I dont need a big car anymore and am even considering the manual transmission.... 😮 Thanks for sensible opinions.

I love by GTI but the price has gone up a lot. I was looking at manual GTIs in 2018 and they were going for about 27,000. I decided to go for a M240i convertible. However, when I found out the manual was being discontinued, I decided to buy one before they were gone. I like it but it was 37,500. That's a big increase for only six years. I think it's a bit crazy the car prices now adays. I am now looking at a CLE 450 conv. but the price is crazy. I am not in a hurry but if I wait, they'll just keep rising. I have a lot to think about.

Super gorgeous rear lights with that shadowing effect. Would love a car with a "bad roads" feature; here in California are roads are pretty bad now; not as bad as Brasil but definitely way worse than 10 years ago. Thin tires are a recipe for a cracked rim. Sadly, we only get the Golf R and GTI in the USA, when the plain Golf would be a much more practical product. And of course we aren't allowed to have the economical Diesel version; after the scandal VW will never import a diesel again. And of course we aren't allowed to have the more reliable manual transmission version. If you want your car to go 500k miles, a manual transmission is the best way to go. And of course we don't get the Estate (wagon) version. the US gets screwed over and over by the foreign car companies who only send us their most expensive, largest, vehicles. So we just drool over Hilux and mini Asian trucks, and the practical cars that are so abundant in Europe. So we are left with 48k avg price SUV's.

Nothing beats a manual on the open road. A crying shame that golfs are sold in many countries without a manual option. No one is scrapping their car when the clutch goes but plenty will when the dsg lunches itself

The Golf 7 was always praised for its roomy interior, especially in the rear. How come the knee room in the Golf 8 gets criticized now ? Is it smaller now than in the Golf 7 or has just the standard changed since many of the competitors have gotten more spacious ?

Hi, you know what I like about the Golf? It's the design and styling of the car, it's a bit more "conservative" when compared to other brands and direct competitors like 308, Ceed, i30 etc. it has it's own elegance. Of course there are really good alternatives from a price perspective but the Golf is the kind of car that doesn't scream "look at me, look at me" and I like that. Can you also please start the Piano Black Police similar to the Fake Exhaust Police? :D

yes. The mild hybrid push system is build inside the gearbox. That is the reason that dsg gets mild hybrid but the manual does not. In the case of Ford Focus and Mazda the mild hybrid electric motor is attached to the crankshaft by pulleys so it always comes with it.

Interesting...my first Golf 2 was really expensive...you had to work at least two years for it...today it is still expensive, but the average salary is at 34k/year in Germany, which means it got not more expensive at all...

20:14 The fact that you can even get a "normal" (i.e. not GTI/GTR/Golf R) for €44,000 - as tested - is pretty wild. Not too long ago, that type of money would get you a very, _very_ nice Audi A4.

@PaulMeier-cu3ds 18 дней назад

Such fun to see a manual shift again. This is a highly evolved dinosaur which has about five years left till extinction as an ICE. It is hopeful that VW have managed more proper buttons for the UI/UX but I am not convinced about the software. The rest of the engineering and practicality looks great. At €44k it is not cheap.
