I have a vw golf and although it’s a 1.0 engine it’s still really powerful at 110bhp can’t recommend the car enough, like he said it’s a fantastic all rounder and a dream to drive, I’ve even convinced my fam to consider a golf
@@NH-bz9jv I switched a 3.0 BMW for the 1.0 Golf and it's more fun to drive. Sure 120 to 250 km/h is better in a 3.0, but then again I mostly drive in the city and it's also illegal to go over 120 km/h in the entire country. Why it's so fun is the small turbo that gives pretty much full boost (and torque) from idle RPM to around 4000 RPM with basically no lag. This car mostly drives at 1200 - 2000 RPM, very smooth, very comfortable. If you want to drive at >5000 RPM and go over 200 km/h, get something else. If you want to drive on the public roads like a normal person (i.e., not a dumbass), the 1.0 Golf is an excellent choice. For track days you can always rent whatever you want and it's fun to try different cars there, none of which I would enjoy in traffic.
nicely said..if you buy a golf, you dont need to explain anyone how good it is and why you bought it...lot of people talking trash about vw just because they cant afford it..
Great review. I am currently in the process of buying a new c segment hatchback. And Golf is my choice. I didn't know much about cars and the C segment but after doing some research and hours of TH-cam reviews I have ramped up my knowledge to a decent level. And now I simply cannot understand why would anyone buy anything that is not a Golf in this category? Ok, Škoda Octavia is perhaps a good alternative for better practicality with larger boot and more rear legroom (at a price of slightly less overall comfort and quality) but any other hatchback from Kia Ceed or Hyundai I30 to Ford Focus and Opel Astra? Golf simply is a better car for the money and by quite a good margin. And contrary to a popular belief (which I admit I also had) Golf is NOT really more expensive than alternatives of other brands. You simply get better quality and more equipment for that extra 500 or 1000 Euros that you pay.
Car shown in your video costs atleast 25100 eur without registration. You won't haggle this down to 20-21k eur at Estonian dealers. But you can get dealer cars with some mileage (5000-12000km) for 20.5-21.5k eur. Could you test drive new e-golf? Seems much more special.
Thanks for the feedback. I admit, 23k might have been slightly less than the sticker price, but it would have been at around 24k - i did mention all the safety features, but this car did not have them. The backup camera, auto AC, composition radio etc are as one package. From 23k to haggle to 21k is possible, from 24 to 21 might be difficult :) The E-Golf is on my list to drive!
Buy it and you will be happy :) But if you are looking to haul 4-5 people regularly, maybe look into the 1.5 - check eith the dealer, you just moght get a really good offer :)
Crea Siry have you driven this engine? cause i did, with manual, on skoda octavia, and it is more than adequate for city driving. Of course, if you live in a city where speed limit is set tu 150KM/h this engine will struggle a little.
Hello and thank you for your review. I have some questions for you. What's your opinion on the DSG gearbox. Is it smooth in shifting gears? How does it feel in the city, and would you get it if you would spec a new car. Thanks!
First of all that's a good video for golf fans. I am also a new 2017 1.0 golf owner. My car has manuel transmission and it is comfortline too. Sorry for my ignorance, İn which country you prepared this video. Because here in Turkey comfortline is the highest limit for 1.0 engine golf and we don't have such a full Golf. These are all options for us. That means a lot of money...
Ega see nüüd nii hull ka pole - loomulikult ei saa võrrleda suuremat (nt 3-4 liitrist) mootorit väiksemaga (1-1,4l), kuid 1.4 on juba pikemat aega VW grupis kasutusel ning suuremad probleemid puuduvad. Kuna 1.0l mootor on vägagi uus, siis vara on rääkida sellest, mis saab 10a pärast, kuid ma usldaksin Saksamaa insenere, et nad on selle peale mõelnud :) Igatahes uuest peast ostes ei pea midagi kartma - garantii on pikk ning vastavalt vajadusele saab seda ka juurde osta.
Visibly, you are not partial. You cannot compare an HONDA Civic 10/11th with a similar generation Golf... I have just replaced my HONDA by a Leon (1.0TSI manual). It's an OK car, well built but the only advantage I see is the lengh of the car: just 4.26m long. The shakky 1.0 TSI engine is not comparable to the 1.0 Civic one; this last one is simply better. And I don't talk about the gearbox of the spanish "VW"...
Thank you so much I did not know Honda made a 1-l turbo engine I think I'll get the civic instead of the focus and maybe the golf because it's cheap enough to buy a 2029 version
i had it 2019 1.0 automaat, i am 62 and had many cars, this was the most expensive , i sold it in 2 month, horribel car, cheap plastic, when take the motor cup it so ugly , even 25 years polo was looking better , is the first car even with 40 k , that i had to buy new alternator , 1.0 .shame , sound like food processor, the sitting on the road fill like a boat, the eye vision , again so bad , i lost 4 k , and i never had so good preview that so bad, see the end of this video, he say big space, what a joke, is one of the only car with spare tire taking 1/2 for the poor space, no suprice no one buy them in china or euro countries, the most expensive where you get the less, lets not forget the oil rubber chain that wil kill your motor when go over 100k
Yeah people from the East Block European countries are stealing VW Golf from the Netherlands. So I was wondering why they buy them because they are stealing these cars.
Stupid car, when it's new it's all fine. Dsg, Engine, EGR and all the rest falls just apart after more than 5 years. That's what TSI and DSG do when they age.
I've been driving the 1.0 Golf 7 DSG since 2015. Although the DSG in this car is the most PITA to maintain and has the most issues out of any modern DSG from VAG, I'm only having my first maintenance on the clutch pack now. You can make it last longer with a DSG tune that doesn't switch up so eagerly and spares the clutch and flywheel. Anyway over 9 years of no hassle. The engine is still in pristine condition with regular maintenance as prescribed by the manufacturer. Can't say the same of my previous BMW...
I hope I won't sound rude or anything, so I'm sorry if I'll offend you in any way but your way of speaking english is very annoying. It sounds like you re lagging in real life. It's really exhausting
the still at 02:05 is a really outstanding piece of automotive photography. i didn't expect that in a car review.

Yah true especially for the newer ones I love how much much room is inside and how smooth and powerful the engine and gearbox is
I have a Golf Mk6 bought in 2011 1.4 TSI 122 HP and I really love it
chiptuned 160hp
That engine has oil leak problems i had it its the “sickness” of that car
How many km now?
Does that apply to an VW golf TSI automatic 2017 as well?
“In my mind”... this is great review lol
Thanks :)
Good review bro u sold me one 1.0 dsg looks good get me to vw the lights interior an exterior are the business..
Thank you I just got this

Truth
Very good review but to me that 1ltr engine seem to be all you need.

I will buy one 2017 GOLF SV 1.0 tsi 110 hp dsg ,is this motor good for one Sportwagon?
Buy it and you will be happy :) But if you are looking to haul 4-5 people regularly, maybe look into the 1.5 - check eith the dealer, you just moght get a really good offer :)
Great review mate! I'm considering the Variant version in Comfortline and gotta have that Active info Display! Greetings from Finland.
Great review and nice to see one of the 'cheaper' end of the range. The 1.0 litre sounds good with dsg.
It did sound good - its not a smooth as a 1.4, but around the city it will be perfectly fine.
Crea Siry have you driven this engine? cause i did, with manual, on skoda octavia, and it is more than adequate for city driving. Of course, if you live in a city where speed limit is set tu 150KM/h this engine will struggle a little.

olen kuulnud et need väikestel mootoritel pole kuigi pikk eluiga, kui 1,9l versioonil on sissesõit 60 000 siis 1,0l versioonil ongi see eluiga?
Ega see nüüd nii hull ka pole - loomulikult ei saa võrrleda suuremat (nt 3-4 liitrist) mootorit väiksemaga (1-1,4l), kuid 1.4 on juba pikemat aega VW grupis kasutusel ning suuremad probleemid puuduvad.

Can You compare it with Scala 1.0 DSG Style ?
What is the fuel efficiency per litre ?
4.8l/100km
Intake and exhaust plxxxx
i Like estonian accent :)
How are those seats?
Pretty good actually - if you can afford it, i would get the optional sports seats tho - just better in the support area.
True! Thanks.
2017 model came with the virtual cockpit?
Yes even the earliest ones did
Visibly, you are not partial.

This Golf in Germany cost with this options 38.000 Euros 👀😭
No back sensors no back camera no back assists. For the money it's a joke. The rest works
Yo please do vw passat b5 or b3 :)
Will do my best to review them :)
Key point is the engine 1.0 and no facts about it or the consumption..

I know 3 golf owners, 2 dsg. No problems. Serviced in an independant garage for all 3 and zero issues.
What about the tdi?
What a load of shite

Better on the polo or a1 , the golf is too much heavier for this engine
That's not true. Do your research

Maybe English is not his first language?
Jacques Du Plessis what he says is mostly ok. I was criticizing the cadence of his sentences.
@@summussaer501 it's the Estonian cadence. It takes a bit of getting used to :)
bro' never drove a proper car lol
Horrible accent...
There’s nothing wrong with his accent!
