Really comprehensive review, Josep, far more detailed and informative than the magazine articles I’ve read so far. I own a 7.5 R but love this new model and hope to upgrade to a new R or GTI 2 years from now.
I have the GTI. Unless you some need for AWD, and an extra 12KW, I'd give it serious thought. I nearly went for a 7.5 R, but given the 8 is basically the 7 Club Sport (same brakes, engine, suspension) the 8 is magical :)
Koliko je skup Golf 8, mozemo ga uporediti naprimer sa Golfom 6 GTI koji je 2011 godine, kostao je 23.878 eura, so benziskim motorom 2,0 i 211KS, a ovaj osnovni model, je preko 25.000 eura! Sta mislite kolika ce biti cena Golfa 8 GTI?
Thanks for this wonderfull Review! Im in for a new lease car. Have several options, but for now have like 2 cars in mind that i can choose from. The Golf Life Business 110PK with the 17 Ventura rims and the Comfort and Assistance option packs.. These 16 inch ones doesnt seems so sporty to me.. Or i can go for an fully loaded new polo R LINE Business 110PK DSG with the 17 inch bergamo rims and Elektric Panoramo roof and all the other option packages. Hard choice, as both cars drive good. Both a 3 cillinder. The Golf is a more mature car, but the Polo Rline is killing it with sporty look :).. What do u recommand?
With regards to the audio and temperature infotainment controls, are you able to touch and hold to increase/decrease the setting, instead of tapping multiple times or sliding?
Hi Cristian this car with 115ps will come with a torsion beam setup, if you want independent rear suspension you need to opt for a Golf with 150ps or over.
Hallo, habe eine Frage. Hat jeder Golf 8 life 2.0 TDI Ambientebeleuchtung? Denn bei mir steht in der Beschreibung, habe aber auf einem Bild nicht gesehen. (10 Farbig)
I actually have this car I can not fault it in anyway but is is hard on fuel other then that for a non hi spec car it's unreal on the lighting colours what does the second light do?
1. BRITISH A pair of small leather screens attached to a horse's bridle to prevent it seeing sideways and behind and being startled. 2. A vehicle indicator or other device that gives out an intermittent light.
well, there's one big dislike for touch control of everything. it's more distracting while driving compared to physical buttons and knobs. It is OK for infotainment systems but terrible for basic systems like lights, ventilation and so on...
Freaky Kiky I also hate the electronic emergency brake. Electronics can break, but the mechanical ones will basically always work. Also I feel like the interior is starting to look a bit similar to Toyota’s. A lot of stuff look similar in styling to my mom’s 2019 Rav 4. Preferred the styling from previous years for the interior but I like the exterior.

It’s still well equipped for the basic trim.
My car soon

A comprehensive and useful review as I am considering a new Golf. Thank you Josip.
Make sure to check out Style and R Line trim as well on the channel. ☺️
@@JRCarReviews Three versions expected to be released in Australia: Golf, Life and R-Line. Cheers.
Great Video thank you! Helps me in my decision for the life version. Which additional features are added in that one?

Thanks for this wonderfull Review!

Very nice tour. Thanks for sharing !

yes, tapping works as well
Min 2:06 ... INDEPENDENT suspension on this LIFE / 115 hp version or NOT ?
Thanks. 👍
Hi Cristian this car with 115ps will come with a torsion beam setup, if you want independent rear suspension you need to opt for a Golf with 150ps or over.
you should point out that by going into the Settings for the dials the options available can be extended or reduced.

Ich denke schon, aber verschiedene Märkte können trotz des gleichen Paketnamens variieren. Sie sollten sich bei Ihrem Händler erkundigen.
Does the Life package have different drive modes like Comfort, Sport etc?
No
Yes it does. It's quite hidden in the menus but when you find it, you can choose to Eco, Sport, Comfort or Normal mode.
Love the car but I’m very disappointed about the mirrors not folding inwards! I have to park on the road because it won’t fit in my garage ☹️
You can get optionally folding option. It’s standard on next trim.
Does it have front parking sensors??
Yes
I actually have this car I can not fault it in anyway but is is hard on fuel other then that for a non hi spec car it's unreal on the lighting colours what does the second light do?
Picking mine up on Friday, hopefully it's as good as this review
craigmcq Hi I'm looking to buy one of these has it been reliable any issues?
@Jerry Rawlings no issues since we got it, great car
"Blinkers" are called "indicators". Blinkers are a device put at the side of horses eyes so they aren't spooked by passing traffic.
1. BRITISH
A pair of small leather screens attached to a horse's bridle to prevent it seeing sideways and behind and being startled.
2. A vehicle indicator or other device that gives out an intermittent light.
Love my golfs/gtis can't go wrong.
Eu gosto de carro Volkswagen golf 8😍😍😍❤🤟🏽🤟🏽
This is my car from friday onwards! Cannot wait!
How is it?
Thank you
Life 1.0 tsi in love
Can you also make one of the style version? By the way there's right now also one special series called United out
Price ?
Love car Volkswagen golf 8❤❤❤
I am between 1.0 tsi, 1.0 etsi mh and 1.5 tsi 130. I cannot decide.
1.0 tsi is very good is my engine
Same here, wondering if there's a significant change..
@@victorgc8 110hp right?
@@umitwagner8781 I just bought the hyundai i30 1.5 N line with the 160hp. Same price with the golf 1.5 tsi 130 but much better equipment.
Does anybody know if the side mirrors are automatic? my Life doesn't seem to have an option
NITRO BOXSTER they are automatic only on Style
My life has fold mirrors
@@victorgc8 mine too.
Try review the new A3 next bro
Dan Kitchen I will as soon as it comes to salon.
Wow❤
Ok je ali puno para, vidi se da ima usteda plasticnih vise nego 7 ili 6...
It's a golf. ..what's not to like?
well, there's one big dislike for touch control of everything. it's more distracting while driving compared to physical buttons and knobs. It is OK for infotainment systems but terrible for basic systems like lights, ventilation and so on...

@@zanesutherland406 in mechanical one you still need to replace a parking brake wire after about 7-8 years of use
Unfortunately this car will not come to Brazil !
Acho que você está por fora. Vem pro Brasil sim.
I have golf 8 life 1.0 tsi

Perchè c'è sempre illuminata la spia arancione che indica un malfunzionamento!!??
Expensive

Way to fast cut. Hate this kind. Not able to look at details. Are you trying to hide something by editing super fast?
There will be a video covering more details.
