Yes I agree. Buttons are easier, convenient and less dangerous. I prefer the older model Golf and Audi A3 because they have buttons and knobs for heating, air con and stereo controls.
The only thing it's got going for it that would make it's removal excusable is the voice control, I'm far too used to just reaching down the dual climate control from muscle memory in my Mk3 Leon.

Excellent review. Love the new Golf 8. It did take some time to get use to the design both interior and exterior but I really like it now. Br from Denmark
Definitely agree on the lack of shortcuts. Having all the major controls being touch is not a good idea. At least they backed off the previous idea where even the steering wheel and light controls were touch.
currently have a BMW 118 D (the last version with RWD) as a company car but considering switching to the Golf 8 Station Wagon when I have to order my new car March 2021.... The BMW is a nice car but costs way more with less extras equipped (I got easily to 42 K without leather seats, without better sound system, without roof window +++) I might change a few bucks (there will be tax deducted from your gross income for a certain value percentage of a company car in Germany) with the golf while having an overall better car (ok, less sporty but in my mid 40s I tend to go slower on the autobahn these days).... Great video, interior looks fantastic.
I would love a Mk8 R, but I’m really not a fan of all the touch surfaces that are being put into these cars.. I drive an e-Golf for work, and that has touch sensitive volume buttons, instead of a regular knob, and it just feels so impractical to use, especially while driving. In normal cars you can just reach for the buttons and you feel them and hold on to them, and it’s so much easier.
regarding the illumination on the volume and AC, the only explanation I can come up with is that you rarely need AC at night time and you can adjust the volume from the steering wheel
@@stanfranzisko4444 yes and are they "so good looking"? Well no. They look boring and wont stand out of the mass. Same with many cars. They dont make you hate them but also not love them. Its the most grey design you can make.

Looks good at night, but doesn't change the fact concerning the cost cutting. The glove box is not felt lined. Wait until everything in it starts vibrating. These were the things that VW was built on. Quality.
Plastic everywhere inside/outside the engine, permanent check-engine lights, bad coilpacks, carbon buildup, wiring, I agree there's nothing like volkswagen quality.
Thanks a lot for your review , you simply talked about all important subjects and you were very clear . I have a question for you and I would be happy if you could answer . The question is : if you had the choice to choose between the golf and the new octavia for a single guy without kids and stuff . Which car would you go for ? Money is not an issue here and also i will probably buy the top variant ( style ) and 1.5 petrol etsi engine. Thanks a lot friend !
If you want a fast car Golf is smaller and lighter. In that case I would get R Line package. Golf has ambient lights on the rear doors as well. If you plan on keeping the car, it doesn’t heart to have more space in case you start a family Octavia is No1.

andrew shelton have in mind that eTSI will give you good economy only with light foot on gas pedal and in ECO mode. But it takes out the fun. It’s more smooth and less noisy compared to diesel. But if you do short commute it wont save you much petrol. While diesel will give you better economy just driving in normal regime. It really depends on your driving style and commute distance, will you have benefits or not. The eTSI comes to similar price as TDI unlike regular TSI. It also depends what is the cheaper fuel in your country. In Croatia it’s diesel. So my choice from economic perspective is still diesel. Golf is refined car and diesel wasn’t so noisy and cabin proof is pretty decent on high speed.
@@JRCarReviews hi I can also buy the 2.0 150 diesel for around the same price as the 1.5 ETSI petrol. The price for fuel. petrol £1.13 per litre and £1.17 per litre for diesel.Thanks for your reply and advice 👍

Check if you lights are on AUTO. You might be driving with day time running lights at night which is dangerous! As your headlights are on day time, meaning at night your headlights are off and only position lights are ON on front. You’re back taillights are OFF.
Hi. I can get either a seat leon, a 2 litre golf diesel tdi life or 1.8 corolla as a company car. im not a speed freak but want to overtake i also do a lot of miles in the uk. thoughts please
I didn’t test Toyota cars, but in general more power is better 150 should be enough for easy overtake. Think I prefer Seat more than Golf. But then Toyota might seem more interesting since it doesn’t have all the functions like AC on screen that is buggy.

@@JRCarReviews Normally a functional high pressure egr system on a diesel car driven outside the city does not deposit as consistently but it still deposits because it pulls unfiltered gases from the exhaust manifold and puts them into the intake
A low-pressure egr system is much cleaner because it takes the gases after the catalyst and the particle filter and reintroduces them at the entrance to the cold part of the turbo, but the trouble there is that those gases have an acidity that turns into a condensate that attacks the intercooler in time as well as the egr cooler.
The egr system is necessary to be able to keep down the level of nitrogen oxide emissions, the big problem with diesel.
It's a pity when you turn of the screen, the radio also turn off.
