Thanks for a straight forward test with no BS. Great car IMO with refinement written all over it. Style, finish, performance and economy in one package.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great review, feels more realistic and informative than the bigger aussie channels tbh
Thanks a lot
Makes me sad that the go to for most new car buyers is “oh I think I’ll get an SUV for my next car.” I always question why, and nine times out of ten they don’t know why, it’s just what other people are getting so they feel they should get one too…
Can’t beat a good zippy hatch with heaps of kit, that’s nimble and handles better. 🚗
Where does the Sport part come in SUV, nothing sporty at all about them.
2024 macan turbo ev ! Bomb as car ,sporty an all !
You're comparing apples to oranges, i upgraded to a big SUV because i go out to western QLD and sleep in the back
@@aarons6935 that’s good! You’re using an SUV for SUV purposes haha. My grumble is when people buy an SUV just because it’s a go to, but not actual reasoning behind it 🤷🏻♂️
Too expensive for what it is a VW 😂 reliability issues with this brand and service cost is what makes them not been competitive with the other brands.
Mate, I own this car and have racked 25k kms in this, no issues at all. With the stack on equipment it’s got as standard plus being a European car don’t expect it to be less expensive than a Hyundai or Yota etc. Does great on fuel, lowest I’ve got on this is exactly 4L/100kms, literally hybrid level efficiency. And it’s a pippy engine too. Hate the torque converter they put in for the DSG though. No issues found from someone who actually owns the car 😊
I own the car. Before I had an Audi A4 2016 and I have to say I enjoy the golf R-Line more than the A4. I feel like is attached to me and is part of me when I drive it.
The previous generation r-line used to have a same steering rack ratio as the equivalent GTI, do you know if this one has also incorporated the GTI steering rack?
I can't help but notice how close three figures are to my old Cordia turbo in the 80s, same power, less torque (but also less weight for the Cordia) and 0-100 and quarter mile times both within 1/10th of a second!
Just wondering is holding the brake down launch bad for the car at all ????. If you keep it at 3krpm and below ? I have done this in my r line and have noticed a substantial improvement for acceleration time !
I'm pretty sure they gave you a pepped up version of this car, again those hp and torque figures are too low with that kerb weight to achieve 7.8 secs 0-100. Even factory has it at 8.5 claimed which is still probably too quick.
Yeah it does seem quick but in my experience they always have very tight gearbox and running gear, so all power and torque is utilised. It did 8.49 in ‘D’ without torque-loading on the brake. Interesting though.
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia It's very interesting indeed and slightly suspicious.
Germans tend to understate power figures from what I've seen.
I had a vw Tiguan rental recently that was also 110kw 1.4 turbo, and it was way faster than I expected - I actually thought it was the 2.0 turbo at first. Maybe VW aren't being entirely honest about the actual power output of the engine, but either way these cars are faster than you would expect.
Wait for the facelift version, better tech, better seat options, better hifi options , better paint options and better looks👍
I was so confused watching this I was like where the big screen
My car!
If only they improved their reliability and heavily reduced their pricing. It would be insanely popular if they did that, I would get one if they improved the Golf in those ways.
Absolutely incredible little car for the money, really don’t understand why this doesn’t sell 3 times more than it already does, guess Volkswagen don’t have the marketing power of Toyota or Kia in Australia, sure blabber on about diesel-gate or early DSG transmission issues but Toyota, Hyundai, Kia and countless other brands have had many controversies and problems which seem to get swept under the carpet cause us Aussies seem to be brainwashed by marketing and not facts.
Everybody has problems. But VW is one of the leaders in terms of problems.
Unreliable, expensive insurance, parts, servicing and to buy upfront.
They’re expensive, unreliable, made by a morally corrupt company, not really any better than the competition, horrible interior usability, the list goes on. I wouldn’t buy one nor would I recommend anyone I know to buy one.
They should be cheaper, they aren’t much more better than a Mazda 3 in refinement now that Japanese cars have caught up and exceeded them in NVH, but the German cars still are very unreliable after just a few years and have a lot of plastic parts in water pumps, etc that fail way before any Toyota or Mazda. Not to mention poor resale as the market isn’t stupid, only the chump who bought it new thinking Euro = better
@@User-cb4jm We have a 2021 CX-30 Astina in the family and it is far less refined than any Volkswagen, I’ve been a Mazda nut all my life but not to say it’s a bad car but after just 26,000 km the interior has about 7 separate rattles and has had to go back multiple times to Mazda for quality issues, even simple stuff like the shock absorbers blowing out after just 13,000 km. Not to mention extremely thin body work, thin clear coat and interior plastics that scratch by looking at them.
We had an old Mazda 3 13 years without a problem, I feel as if Mazda has spent their money on perceived quality rather than actual longevity and integrity. Also being a tech at Toyota I also feel they are now having a similar quality decline. I used to absolutely despise of anything euro years ago but rn as of 2024 I think brands like Volkswagen have the upper hand as much as that pains me to say as a Mazda enthusiast.
Could you test a golf r next?
Yes- we have one booked to test in June. Thanks for the request 👍
If they built them to last, maybe it would be worth considering. As it is they're nice when they're new but start having problems well before their time.
Give me a Corolla or i30 any day. Especially for that money.
Something's wrong about these numbers. Your VBox might be playing tricks on you. The results are all over the place and some of the values are really hard to believe. For example, i highly doubt a FWD car with only 108 hp/t can do sub-8s for 0-100, 4 sec for the 60-100 interval and 5.1 sec for 80-120. And then there's the differences between individual tests. There's quite a big gap from 7.86 to 8.49 for the 0-100 and other interval readings seem inconsistent. Maybe the windshield had some sort of coating? Does it support an external antenna? Or maybe you should perform a cold start on your device 🤔
Although the numbers are quick, it's not the Vbox. If the signal drops out on the Vbox you know pretty quickly as it stops timing.
Also, the gap between brake-load and without is pretty normal, especially for a turbo car. I've seen even bigger differences than that on some diesel utes.
I suspect the engine produces a bit more than 110kW, as German cars are usually under-rated. So I guess that would mean you get more than what you paid for?
Very short first 3 gears + automatic + everyone already knows it has more than 110kW ))) that's why it is quite fast. And it's still slower 60-110 than a 2017 Civic 1.5T CVT and even the 2022 civic 1.5T CVT
Civic has more power, of course its quicker in gear
@@user-vk4vd7vr5t Just 10-15hp more, and the Civic doesn't have short gears (because CVT) and it is a bigger car.
@@user-vk4vd7vr5t Civic has 10-15 more hp, being a bigger car without having the short gearing advantage.
@@Eugen-Ewhat point are you trying to make here?
@@user-vk4vd7vr5t He wrote on the thumbnail "How is it so quick?"
It's not that quick. It's just ok. Nothing impressive.
I like it but I don't dare to buy it.
Needs a 10 warranty
VW haven't done themselves any favours in the last few years. The case of the dodgy figures costing them millions. They are all doing it. But so far only a few made scapegoats. VW got hammered. Gearbox issues. A whole range of models with chocolate transmissions, from new. Big warranty issue. And now the price. They used to make cars for the working man. Now their range is more for the executive man. Or Plumbers and Electricians. Hot hatches were my go to in my youth. Have thrashed one or two, before the days of speed cameras and wall to wall traffic funded police. When you could drive watching the road and other vehicles. Not drive watching the speedo and hope an electronic gizmo stops you from crashing. If I could find a pristine Mk2 Golf GTi that would be my pick. Not much over 100hp but light and nimble. Fun cars. Just what you need and nothing else.
It's a shame that Volkswagen gives up providing fuel efficient cars in Australia. The 8-speed torque converter is a joke.
@@acde9355why is the torque converter gearbox a joke?
@@YZJB@alexaescht Because it doesn't help VW sell more units but kicks out other buyers who care about fuel economy.
Hopefully they will give us back the dsg after they remove the sulphur from our fuel quality standards
To auto ide zo 60-100 za 6.3sek a nie zo 60-110 za 5.3 to je blud
What a absolute rip off.
VW ....🤪🤪
110 kW R-line? Sheep in wolfs clothing...
