![Reasons I Chose The Awesome 1.4 TSI TFSi [EA211 Are Excellent Engines]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2fzNDt2Z-X4/mqdefault.jpg)
Alot of people talk about how boring it looks, but now... i think its stylish to be honest
That's so true. The more I look at it, the better it looks. It's so ... clean and refined!
somesayhescalledthestig Not just with golfs but most Volkswagen group cars, the designs are minimalist and timeless. They wont go out of fashion. They are sensible.
This car looks great in black, white and metallic colours. I like this GT, it offers fast acceleration, great fuel economy and is very quiet. Also good ride quality with sporty handling and lots of space unlike the Mercedes A class
That parcel shelf idea is genius.
It's styling is classic not conservative or "boring".
Bertus Nel it is
30 millimeter!!! dude that car is huge!!!!
Bad camera work. The cameraman seemed un bothered to film any of the car angels or interior or boot. Sorry son but your fired (I would have said if I owned the company)
Whats with the mpg ratings in the UK? The EPA ratings here in the USA updated a couple years ago and provide really realistic mpg ratings so that the consumer knows what to expect when they buy. It seems like the UK ratings should be cut in half all the time to be realistic...?
All cars always had rubber between the door and the frame. But the door itself is built solidly, with the compartments inside that don't rattle. Look at a review of a Prius, and hear the huge rattle it makes when the guy closes the door
the mk 6 is really a facelift of the mk 5 so it's been nearly 10 years since we've had a new golf- no 3-4, the mk 5 was released in 2004, by the time the mk 7 starts deliveries it'll be spring 2013.
As far as I know, only the older Beetle and Polo models have had problems with their doors, and the problem was that the door handles came off if you pulled hard. They are perfectly water tight.
The GTI will be 2.0 TSI 221hp as our dealer informed so almost 10hp more than the previous version
I've never been a fan of golf, more i liked giulietta, leon, bmw 1, but now for the first time golf is my favorite among hatches. perfect quality,refined, sporty look and best looking interior in the class.
minus: The rear seats can't lay flat
72?? I had no idea, I thought they were released in 74, not 72?
love the sense of humour, class review
It's not mainly marketing, it's an industrial innovation, and if they can, other manufacturers will copy and make their own "MQB"
At 5:10 it looks like the car is just hovering! HAHA
The Golf always look good in red..
Evolutionary in styling yes looks like the old ones yes but it looks better and more modern they do it every time.
I have the two door 5 speed manual version, amazing car, I would recommend it to any one all shapes and sizes and preferences.
He mentioned the buttons on steering wheel, radio volume control in wrong place or smth.
Why does every single review about this car start with how many years Golf has been around, how many it has sold. And then pass over to the dimensions and weight?
theres a 2litre version of the golf before this one and it was so heavy on fuel,hope the 2litre in this model isnt the same
the volume on the wrong side could possibly be an issue with the country that the car is in
Almost every car has same thump sound nowadays because it is very easy and cheap to achieve. Some rubber on the door and the frame. :D
We get the 1.8tsi 170hp in the states
@A Stefanov ok, so what do you think of cc and passat facelift after just few years of being around? I am talking of a general trend, which becomes more and more common: Audi facelifts in 3 years for ex. and so on. Hope you get my point
poor camera work. it'll be better if when he was referring to something like when he's folding the back seat down, have the camera point into the trunk or the side of the rear with the rear car door open. or when he was talking about the center console, have the camera point at it like you did when he was touching the screen.
seeing that review - i mean it's not really bad, but now I really understand how good actually Saabkyle04 is.
Where does the name golf comes from? Were they playing golf while coming up with the name back in the 70s or thought about a car which boot is big enough for golf bags? I mean the first golf was VW Up size.
your german is amazing! :D
MQB is mainly just marketing but feel free to make up your own mind. Road noise is always a thing that has to be tested on rough surfaces so time will tell but if history has something to tell us this Golf will not be without a lot of noise from the tires?
Haven't seen a single review with the standard small engine suspension set up. They all review the more expensive multi link set up.
its not a facelift, its a completely new model.. even though its looks is almost identical to the golf 6
those seats look comfortable. Interior seems good generally, just very dull
there are more car buyers of Golfs than there are of Aston Martins so it would be more suitable to have a longer review for the Golf
Too bad no reviewer ever states the terrible VW group reliability ratings. I would say reliability is in the top 3 factors when considering a new car.
Can you do a comparison test between the vw golf mk7 and the Audi a3 sportback 2013
Golf is the single reason VW now owns Audi, Porsche, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Bentley, Skoda, SEAT, Ducati, MAN and Scania. They probably own or control many more. Well done.
Good car but they did make a right mess of the steering wheel controls
Mine has this rattle when idle. Only when idling in neutral but it is very noticeable. Hope that shit is normal.
steven fernandez some 1.4 engines have a problem with running hot and the pistons need replacing
you my friend are right...prices start from 26000 euros in where i live...for a vw.....if you whant a cheap vw buy a seat or a skoda.....but for a vw thats deep....plus the vw's for some years are bild just to make a profit out of them...nothing more....to bad.
Or you can also compare the wrx to the golf r because that has almost as much hp as the wrx and it has 4wd
Did he say 38years ago?
Didn't he also say 1972??
This IS the Mark 7, right???
If so, this guy needs to learn to count...
sure its not a supere dream car but i tell u what as a daily driver it is the best car u can get
Great car, so so comfy..
How about the new renault clio 4? For my much fancy and nice.
I Like this reviewer, and he is a lot better than those token women that some sites are hiring like mats truly dreadful carebuyers replacement
Ok, then yes, other companies also put rubber, but they don't do it correctly.
Stick to carbuyer then. The Golf is definitely going to make an appearance.
Is that Alcantara suede inserts?
that's how good the mk5 was, it's still miles ahead of cars like the 308, megane etc.
Yes i liked the review actually, very accurate, good details, precise, fitting to a Golf. Was not so inspiring and perhaps lacking something about the drive, but again thats what they all do more or less.
if matt would've done the same bit, everyone would just be "hahahehe matt"...i mean yeah, matt's cool and everything but give the guy props for doing an ok review, i believe. maybe more downs wouldn't have hurt, but overall i think it's a good review, and not at all as boring as some of you say it is.
Ok, then you probably also know that VW have problems with their doors? They won't stay water-thight so in the end you will get water on the floor because the quality of the plastic chosen to be used in the door is not up to the quality required. There is a big difference between real quality and marketing quality.
Is this 2012 or 2013 model?
3 odd minutes for the new Vanquish, 7 and a bit for the Golf... nIce prioritisation right there Autoexpress..
We're in 2012 now, it's "40 years on" not 38...
who is the best golf 7 or mercedes class a 2013
corridor faculty useful along ah.
Great review!
88 mpg is boring?
VW Golf started in 1974 and not 72
In 1972 came out the Alfa Romeo Alfasud
The touchscreen is abasic equipment to all models. It's standard and oesn't cost extra
in a nutshell, GOLF 7 is another planet compared to GOLF 6. It tells one that he bought golf 6 and now has bought GOLF 7
For german standards, that is a great sense of humour, trust me ;)
Maybe go for the manual?
5:14 The New Golf is so cool, that it doesn't bother to spin the wheels
Why would anyone still buy a vw golf after knowing the high failure rate of its DSG? I don't understand..
No, no! It is the way the rubber is attached and how many of them you have, rattle is a completely different story!
I really hope we get the 140hp 1.4 with cylinder deactivation. I would certainly pay 25k for a top spec with that motor. It should hit 45mpg easily.
whats an ergonomic howler?
this guy is wrong, its always been audio on the left and music stuff on the right!
I'm getting ready to retire and would love to buy this car with a manual transmission but not until vw reliability ratings improve. Otherwise, it's everything a car should be .
Trouble is Mark you only hear of bad stories with cars, never the good stories..........people with reliable cars never report it.
says b145701s pretty original
5:10 he forgot his luggage!
It's under his shirt by the look of it!
Miggs207 lol
Why left hand drive don't forget the uk
cuanto sale el tutu este esta impresionante
it's a great, great car with a BIG, BIG price tag
Illustrate part response exercise.
Yeah...that door slam sounds great! Do the same to a Mustang and it sounds like you dropped an empty can of tuna on the floor...
Does he work for VW? it seems like that atleast, he didnt even mention one bad thing...
at that weight you should seat in the horse trailer in the back of the golf otherwise you might confuse the steering wheel with a donut
i don't know who told you this, but as I know, and what I red the new GTI will have 2.0 TSI with 260 hp :))
All these youtube car "reviews" looks bought from start to end. "It's so fantastic and I can't really find anything wrong to mention." It's like watching a home shopping channel.
completely agree mate, can never find a decent and honest car review these days. biggest scam with new cars are the reviews by bias journalists.
Yes it still looks like a Golf, eighties styling with a longer nose!
But the real question is, those it smell like a Golf?
Under the false boot floor, wasn't that where the spare wheel used to go? Bet you get a tyre in a can now.
The 'Coldplay' of cars, oh dear
WOW, what a car!
i wonder if this car is a good fit for a big guy?
cheaper...? you forgot to mention some 24k GBP for the model you were driving!
Not cheap, that's about $38k...!!
Yaaaaawnnn! C'mon guys new golf in town and somehow you just bored us to death with it... How'd you do that?
it is. the driver seat is roomy for a big guy. I am 200KG person and I fit in the drover seat comfurtly.
cant decide between a koenigsegg or this
This is golf 6 right?
It’s a mk7
How is this a review when you only state the advantages of the car?
looks like Jeremy Clarkson JR xD
actually i like it and they went road lets improve it instead of change it
Perfect car I want one in black
1) Turn volume off
2) push 0:43
Guess what he's talking about.
