im completely new to vw's, always been a volvo girl but im looking into a 2014/15 golf right now. are there any differences to them looks-wise? I'm in EU.
I have a 2018 Golf TSI S. Nothing fancy but I love that car! Easy to maintain and the only issue I have is it’s a rock magnet. There’s a lot of trucks around my area and my windshield keeps catching rocks and pebbles.
False. Stage 2+ (2019) GTI, 315 whp, 26 psi of boost. Turbo is normal. They're more reliable than Toyotas. I am an owner for four years, no issue. Nada 0
It’s not the car. Lot of idiots buy GTI’s and go full out on cold engine. That sort of reckless ownership makes a lot of these cars a hit or miss 2nd hand. Goes for a lot of cars, but especially with these…
@@JoeFreeman42 It's not an accent I've ever heard before - ? By the by, I have a 2020 Golf mark 7.5 Comfortline. It is real zippy, very comfortable, status free and the fuel economy is superb. However, I detest the electronic handbrake and hilltop buttons with a vengeance. It's my second Golf and after seven years I still can't out work out all the permutations and instead find it unnecessarily complicated and in some situations extremely dangerous. What I'd give for a manual handbrake! I loathe the updated heating/Airconditioning system which was previously simple to use. The default engine cutoff is an absolute nuisance as is the notification warning that appears on the screen every time you start the engine and need to manually cancel in order to read the screen. Also, what is the point of the headlight automatic switch? Apparently the Mark 8 is even worse with controls on the screen. I was distracted the other day when a warning g beep went off because I was too close to another car - which I already knew - and the warning sound distracted me from my task of avoiding that car. Stupid. I wish I'd bought a Toyota Corolla hatchback instead. 🦘
Epic Help I have one here are some of the problems I've encountered, door mirror glass falls out , Changed all 4 ignition coil packs, after 60 000 miles expect to change timing belt, alternator , throttle body , water pump, plastic handles to adjust seats break, interior mirror won't flip down, seatbelts won't retract but this can be fixed by cleaning. Other than that they are solid cars mine has done over 100 000 miles now it's still whisper quiet at 70 mph on the motorway 1.2 manual petrol . If serviced regulary at 10 000 miles these cars will last at least 200 k miles.
@@84jordie As an overall advice: yes. The DSG6 seems more durable than the DSG7. And be more careful buying a car with DSG when mileage is above 100K (160K km). Then the double clutch may have to be replaced soon (if it wasn't replaced already). Above 200K km the mechatronic can start to show problems (crack in the casing, chip failure, etc.). Driving a manual gives full control of course. It's a different way of driving. The DSG is comfortable driving.
@@stefan2796 I ask this cause there are 2 cars that I really like, both are Mk7 1.4 Tsi Golf, Manual has 160,000km on the clock, Automatic has 151,000km. Similar priced. Would the manual be the better option? The trim are the same, except the auto has the folding mirrors.
You forget the hydraulic throwout bearing fails on the manual transmissions prematurely. The TDIs were not sold any longer due to the VW emissions scandal! (Where have you been the last 4 years?)
The content of this video is good but I'm afraid this guy does not speak English well enough to be making a video for an English speaking audience. He has some kind of speech impediment which is something I can't seem to get past. I really do mean this as constructive criticism.
@@jestruck I think what I said is perfectly clear, but I'll repeat it: The guy in this video has done a very good job but his speech impediment makes it difficult -- and at times impossible -- for me to understand what he's saying. He does not enunciate his words. My guess is that English is not his native language.
@abarthspider3479 100000 km can made ANY single car on planet.Even indian one.Your problems will start now, don't worry.However,I don't believe you anyway,coz I did read reviews from many owner of this engines and everyone of them complained .Learn your lesson.Read, don't be a troll and fake .
