I've seen some reviews where the Highline has fully lit up signal lights and LED daytime running lights but not in the Australian reviews (partially lit up). Is this a setting thing?
The Rear central armrest is something you can't get from the TrendLine and the ComfortLine is the mid-ranger. Ideally would love to go for the HighLine but for some markets, I feel that the HighLine is a bit overpriced. Too bad the VW offerings in Canada and the US are too Americanized and don't have the VW character other than the Tiguan 2.
Just bought a 2018 Golf.It still looks and feels like a VW,amazingly.I test drove a Jetta and Passat.They were definitely 'Murrricunized,entirely different.
+Steve H This is a new diesel engine that wasn't affected by the Dieselgate issue. There are still outstanding issues here regarding older diesels but the new Golf isn't involved.
This car for its price beats any. It's not loud inside this guy has no idea on how to mount the mix well not in the f dash. Wait for mk8 those who can't wait get a stock golf for 25gs drive away nothing compares test drive one!
I’ve had mk 5 6 and 7 now 7.5 mk seven like a limo, 7,5 is horrid hard supenshion,much more win noise and the road noise is unbaerable iv had this car 6 months i am dumping it Soon, don’t buy one what have they done i have had 7 brand new the 7.5 is the worst of the Bunch
So weird that he’s in a lower spec but they keep showing clips of the Highline spec.
Rule number one: the volume of the radio MUST be a KNOB! Come on VW.. You know this!!

I’m wanting to understand myself as well but can’t find the answer??????
good review, informative and concise, but the audio quality on the portions recorded inside the car kinda ruins it for me
+rapiergv Understood. Broken mic unbeknownst to us ... fixed in more recent videos :)
In Europe, the 1.4 TSI is replaced by a 1.5 TSI. Why do we get the leftovers?
+Karl P Mostly because our emissions standards aren't as stringent so there was no cost incentive for Volkswagen to bring the 1.5 TSI EVO here.
Fair enough, if we don't get the TSI 1.5, we don't get the TSI 1.5. As stipulated in the video, there's nothing wrong with the 1.4, so..
Golf 7 vs golf 8 ?
any chance of reviewing the Ford Mustang
Sukhjeet Sahota Yep. Just awaiting the 2018 updates to filter through.
Sukjeet. Why the hell would anyone want to review the Mustang?

Comfort line is above the trenline
Great car, but what’s the name of the track playing in the beginning?
Are the seats leather
Part leather, part synthetic material masquerading as leather. It's a mix.
It's called leatherette.
No mention of the fake exhausts?
Don’t know why they do that?
It's just a styling thing. Don't worry.
i think this is fantastic
Is a diesel option available ??
+Steve H Yes it is, but only on the top-end Highline model as an option here in Australia.
And have VW - Audi sorted out the emission problems with their Diesel engines. Is there a legal case against them in Australia?
+Steve H This is a new diesel engine that wasn't affected by the Dieselgate issue. There are still outstanding issues here regarding older diesels but the new Golf isn't involved.
Are you saying VW - Audi have redesigned and developed a completely new Diesel engine range, not just re-programmed the cheating software?
I will always have concerns about exhaust emissions (NOx) from diesel vehicles

Peugeot 308 handling better than golf? Man....
The Pug is so light!
But they're not reliable
this guy sounds like he's delivering a school report on a Golf...not a grown-up review at all.
😂😂😂😂

Interesting - what specification was your 7 and your 7.5?
I just drove a 1.4 tsi in the UK on the bad roads of South bucks and it was practically silent with a great ride...hmm,!
