This is what a perfect commercial looks like
Do you know this is dutch? This is always on tv.
@@shithead223 It's an old commercial, it's never on tv

Yup, good example for a good ad. Not too long, funny and entertaining and still advertises well for the product. Most modern commercials are so dull and boring, car ads are usually cranking lifestyle shit to 300% and nobody cares to memorize them. But the old lady driving like a stunman, that's something to remember. Also because of perfect execution.

The only commercial you actually enjoy watching we need more of those
But it's so old now. We also need to move on.

Reminds me of my (late) grandmother. She was hell on wheels. She always owned the largest engined version of every car she bought, always got the 'sports" package or it's equivalent, and was actually the first person I knew to have owned a GTI when they first came out in the States.
She sounded hella fun though lol
Bless her!
I feel as if there’s a lot more to this grandmother we’ve yet to uncover…
This lady had some tales to tell.
Its equivalent, not it’s, which means it is.
This commercial always makes me smile 😊 i love it 😍
Misuse of the big term love is soon to be banned, and must be edited out -- love is an absolute feeling that only my protectors (the true alphas) can feel for me the absolute being only, myself being the lovable/loved/lovely being, and only I can use the word love instead of like!
Misuse of the big term lady is beyond wrong and soon to be banned, and must be edited out, as all womyn are the exact opposite of lady/mrs/ms/other big terms -- I am the only Lady / Mrs / Ms etc in existence aka the respectable being and the true Leader, and all those misusing my big terms and promoting impostors are to be banned soon in the new system aka totalitarianism!
I wish every modern commercial was as entertaining as this,like this is how you actually convince people to buy your cars
I drove one for years and years in Wisconsin, and made many trips in mine to CA and back. A great car.

This VW Golf had the best looking interior
10 years ago. People would buy this car again after watching this xD. Good Old Mk3. They have good TDI engine. And VR6.
d-head this it's way more older than 10 years
@@leart78 what would be stopping people to buy mk3s in 2012 lol
TDI with a 100% certainty of turbo failure and a choked off intake.
@@ShainAndrews the 2.0 TDI is unkillable, I am sporting it in my B7 passat which has 365.000km on the same engine, same turbo. Just don't treat it like your dad bought it.
The best engines where 1.8. or 1.9/2.0 petrol GT or GTI versions!

“This car was only driven a grandma to go to church on sundays”
The person who took this commercial to the next level is the Mechanic’s character. He nailed it. Want to watch him over and over again. So realistic.
Hahahaha... that's as good as their commercial with the horses laughing as a guy tries to back up his trailer.

@@jorisvb y'know, you're free to just _not comment._
An excellent commercial :)
If the sales of the car went up because of the commercial, then yes. But we don't know.
@@brinckau Don't be so miserable. Just enjoy it for what it was.
@@resnonverba137 I want to enjoy it for what it was. It was a commercial for a car, whose purpose was to convince people to buy this car. This is exactly what it was.
And by the way, we know about the sales ("VW Golf sales" on Google). The commercial was released in 2011. Apparently, it didn't work. The sales went down, while at the same moment, the car industry was selling more cars than the previous year, globally.
So, the people who created this commercial probably think that it's a bad commercial. Because it didn't work.
@@brinckau I hope one day you may realise that something can be good, enjoyable and clever without commercial success. The two are not mutually inclusive. Enjoy your evening.
@@resnonverba137 Yes, like spending quality time with your friends, or working for an NGO, or learning something new. It's good and enjoyable, with no commercial purpose, and therefore, no commercial success.
But commercials are created to manipulate you. That is not enjoyable. Plenty of people who have worked in marketing have explained how it works (in my country, I can name Frédéric Beigbeder and Thierry Ardisson, who created some of the most famous and liked commercials in France). They have explained that their job really consists in brainwashing you while giving you the illusion that it's fun and harmless.
Your reaction was expected. The commercial was crafted to generate this very reaction.
I hope one day you realize that, and side with people who try to warn you, instead of siding with people who try to manipulate you.
i would trust the old lady - she is a so much better driver, than me. 😂
let's be honest, she didn't get to that age because she was a fool 😁
@@potocatepetl 😂
😂
well my man if u hit gas pedal as much as u can u will drive as the grandpa
Better ad than we have now
What are you talking about?
😂...in time, I've come to realize how real this commercial is.
Me too, I am a grandma and drive my little Cabrio like that (but. It with my grandbabies) LOL
This deserves Best commercial award

My grandma drives the Golf 3,I love it.
I had such a car in 2000's! It was really amazing car! And it was my first car!
2000s, not 2000's. 🙂
Sad that the volkswagen is not what it used to be anymore an affordable and reliable car for the working class.
Thank Hitler for that and thank capitalism for the emission scandal 😂
"lady driven" takes on a whole new meaning!
This is now one of my favourite commercials. It's hitting on a truth & giving the msg of reliablity; and a bit absurd all at the same time.
this is what a pefect Commercial looks like, i miss the old times
Same here man..
We also have great commercial today you've probably missed good ones.
What about the old times when there were no commercials?
Commercial with value and fun!!! I like it.
An old lady we knew in Frankfurt: "Wow, for your age, you drive pretty fast!", "Yes, I'm still a fast driver. The only problem is, I can't see where I'm going very well!"
Great commercial! Even more so since it represents this car really well. I had one for about 6 years. A 2-door MK3, a deeper red than this one. Made multiple road trips across most of South Africa with it. Mountains, beaches, highways and the rural country roads, my Golf saw it all with me. And it always had my back!
legendary car
I love this commercial, been a while since I connected with and advert.❤❤❤
I was a proud owner of a vw golf mk2 gti 16 valve back in the 90s. Best car i ever owned. If only everything in life was as reliable as a vw.

wrong, its "you can trust every Golf"
whoa! best commercial ever. sooo many good(gut?😜) feelings and really heart warming. luv
Somebody with a Hugh sense of humor and imagination to write this script for this commercial, one of the best my respect.
This was a short supply model Golf yet the best interior it had VW please bring this shape back
You think so? I think it was very good for the time, but I don't consider it the best interior. I does look very retro and never seemed fitting to me in the Golf 3.5 (the model 3 convertible, which was partly facelifted to model 4, but kept most of model 3 interior)
I love this add I've seen it many years ago and at the only sight of the thumbnail it all came back, truly a great work from its designers
My generation is just unlucky we don't quite witness these commercial nowdays😢
My father had VW all his life and they all got old. Last our Polo got 20 years old without any big issues, but it started to rust at essential parts that's when we knew it was over. But that car turned 20 years old without any kind of special care. Dad is still driving a T4 from 2002. Starts to have some trouble with rust as well, but treatable and not on carrying parts. Before he had a T3, that was idk how old, I wasn't born when he got it. Unfortunatly my brother had a nasty accident with it, the car was a write-off, but everyone in the car was fine luckily. That car would have easily survived much longer. Uncle drives a Golf 2, makes the checkup every time.
That’s a classic (no pun intended) 👏🏼👏🏼
Brilliant....I love it
Шикарная и надежная машина, спасибо Фольксваген за качество.
My mum still has 2 VW polos. a 1993 and a 1998. both run like new. Great little cars.
You cannot trust every old lady, but you can trust every old Golf :-)
wow, this comment adds so much value to the original video!
Very true superb car.
Another former golf owner here: in 1997 I bought golf II gti 115 HP, made 1985, as my very first car, owned it for 6 years and sold it in 2003 still for a decent price. Lots of trips with my then bird, great memories!
Does someone who still owns one count as well. :D
I love VW.
I absolutely love watching this.
My Golf MK3 is from an old lady too...oh boy
Самая крутая реклама😅
Бабушка ездила 👍😊
Ngl this just happened with me when buying my 2000 Civic.. Got from an old man and he told me some good stories with the car like going offroad or accelerating to the max in the highway, then when I started the car to a test he just said "go faster, you're not testing too much".. It was too much fun and nowdays I have that car for two years and going strong.
Best car i ever owned
The Mk 3 had a lovely shape to it - looked good from every angle. Absolute joy to drive.
Still love this commercial
Replayed the “17 sec” part of the clip 4x just to verify if it was a civic EF getting smoked on the traffic light 😂 awesome vid!
I think it was CRX
Grandma be making Ken block look weak. That was slick!!
Max Verstappen's Grandmother in this commercial :)
Jos' Mother?
Love it
Best commercial ever created
Dutch commercials from 10 to 15 years ago are the best.
Don't think this ad ran in the UK
It ran in the Netherlands
It wasn't a UK market advert, more's the pity
Wonderful commercial, and for those who have the fortune to have one of those models from those years, they will never sell it
I said the same thing about a MK3 I bought new in 1997 and drove for 20 years, until I test dove a new MK7 in 2017 and bought it...
My uncle had one exactly like in this ad, bought it new in 1992, red, 5 door GL model. Even had the same wheels. Just about everything electrical on it broke within the first 5 years. 🤣 They also had a Honda and that was near perfect.
There are plenty of them in my country Kosovo. Two of the most hated cars and yet most used: gold 2 and golf 3
@@stevemcgowen Oh that is a sad truth! Happened to me with my Toyota Sienna van, drove it happily for fifteen years, then last August, on a whim, test drove the new model... now it seems my old van rides like a horse-drawn wagon.
absolutly insane vw commercial , i love it !
Is beautiful. I almost tear up every time
Of course, there is also the " flip side ". My mother's maiden aunt bought a new car every 7 or 8 years, though I am not sure why. In 1964 she traded a pristine looking 1956 Plymouth for a new 1964 model. If I remember correctly, this car had a 6 cylinder engine, power steering and brakes, and a factory tinted windshield...and that's it. No radio and no other options. The car was probably never driven over the speed limit. And because she had the body painted after every little scrape or bump, the fenders must have had nearly double the factory paint...when she wrecked it. In 7 years it never accumulated more than 15,000 miles.
Legal demais. :)

this commercial actually made me kinda emotional

Absolutely awesome,
Say about Volkswagen what you want but admit that back then their cars were ACE!
(at the end)
so golf be like : trust me ,old lady drove this

Best ad Ever!
Volkswagen make some of the best car commercials to date.
There was a graffiti on the entry sign to bulgarian town Pernik:
"We know that with 'golf you can't fly to the moon, but we continue to try anyway..."
Graffiti is plural. One graffito, two graffiti.
One of the better car commercials I’ve seen in my life.
Great ad !
Just recommended and not disappointed 😌
Did anyone notice that there was a newer golf in the background
The kind of driving I did in my 20's. Don't know how I survived to hit my "elderly lady" years, because driving like that was FUN!
20s, not 20's. 🙂
Best video on TH-cam
Leuke reclame! Creatief
Those were the days when adverts didn't insult our intelligence rather they assumed and encouraged it!
They thought people would buy this car because they saw a nice commercial. That was an insult to our intelligence.
"Those were the days" lol what a load of nonsense
@@brinckau But there was more to it than just putting a tart in a bikini on the bonnet; there was a story that you had to _think_ about before you figured out the funny part.
@@wotcherfaz Some insults are smart, but they are insults nonetheless.
Fantastic commercial.
Though I never understood, why a car owned by an old person was considered a good deal. Because they often don't know how to properly handle a car, unintentionally torturing many mechanical parts, which then need to be changed. Also often running short distances, which really isn't good for the engine. Also many of them drive rarely, it's bad when the car is only moved every 2 weeks - a lot of standing around kills a car.
Yeah, my grandpa has a corsa from '99, it drives nicely (although the steering wheel is tilted). When i talked to him once, it turned out he was convinced that engine braking is bad for your car, the lower you go in the rev range the less gas you use and he never used 5th gear, even outside of town.
Old people weren't born old you idiot.
It's because it wasn't handled good but works fine nonetheless. Good quality for everyone.
The stereotype is that old ladies drive the car gently; they don't high rev it or fly over speed bumps etc. Which is everything the old lady in this commercial wasn't doing. 😂
I'm also not too sure how standing around kills cars? Modern synthetic engine oil doesn't goop up like the old mineral oils and the only thing you really need to be worried about are tyre flat spots but those won't develop in 2 weeks either- months at least. Another small concern is the battery but a healthy battery should be enough for a few weeks without starting.
I've kept cars in storage before and consulted multiple mechanics who generally say it's fine as long as the car is turned over every 2 weeks and moved a little if not on stands. If there's no one to run it there's a longer procedure list like draining certain oils etc. and the car can be stored for years.
@@oldmillrd8153 Are you immediately calling people who say something you don't agree with an idiot in real life as well? Or are you just doing it here because you're a coward and feel safe behind your computer screen?
TH-cam is recommending this video after 10 yrs! For everyone
Like most VW commercials, and the cars themselves. Excellent.

Muito bom kkkkkkkkkkk
Thank you recommendations for this commercial
magically done!
LOL The irony. 'Trust' and Volkswagen are two words that don't sit easily together.
Today yeah but in the past it was good. Now all cars are maded soo cheap....
Mk2, 37 years old, 311.000km, bit of rust here and there but nothing bad, most parts still easily available. Can't wish for more. The ad is from a time where those values still were held high
@@dranoelr yepp
volkswagen are just solid cars. No cheap plastic, durable engines... . The new ones, after 2020 are great again, from 2014 onwards there were some shitty cars. i am driving an 2002 Passat 3bg with a 1.9tdi engine. it was the first car of my uncle, he bought it used, after that it was the first car of my aunt. she drove it until 2015, where it got sacked for 2 years. The funny part is, that up until 2015 there was only like 1000€ used to newer some parts, like waterpump (excluding other services like oil change). i got it gifted then in 2017, took 1000€ again, made service and renewed a hose that got eaten by mise and the car drives perfectly fine with still a lot of power for 131ps. I am so happy with it.
To sum up: for a lifespan of 20 years, 18 years it was a daily driver, got 290 000km on it (mostly short distance, normally not good for a diesel) and only had to renew parts worth 2000€ in 20 years. if that is not a deal than i don't know what in life it is. Best car ever.

That Old Lady is better than Lewis Hamilton at driving
Since it was a Dutch commercial, it might be the grandmother of Max Verstappen. ;)
I’m sure with the politics in F1, Lewis will still beat her out for the title.

My first two cars I've ever owned were a Rabbit 2 door and a Scirocco. That was 36 years ago and I've owned many cars since then but they had been the most reliable and trouble free vehicles I'd ever had. I was out in thr middle of BFE in the army in New Mexico and driving to McDonald's was 60 miles round trip. Going to McD and a movie was close to 75 miles round trip. I drove across the desert back and forth to LA and San Diego all the time just to get away from that hellhole. Drove 45,000 miles a year through desert so hot the asphalt melted and the air conditioning stopped working. Never failed. Never broke down. Never left me stranded.
HAAAA I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING
