  • An amateur review of a Mk7 Volkswagen Golf R-Line 1.5 TSI EVO 150 PS DSG 5 door.
    I understand I don't know a huge amount about cars and couldn't give an expert opinion or compare it to much, but here's just a little video of me driving it around for a bit of fun!

    I recently traded in a 18 plate golf line 1.5tsi for a new Mercedes a180 executive hatch. But I really miss the golf-like a bereavement. I have to get to know this a189 and get to like it.

    How do you find 150 (well, just shy of) HP in a car the size of a golf? I just bought a Polo 6c with the same output from the 1.4 ACT engine and on the test drive I found it surprisingly quick. Happily pulls from 40 in 6th gear on a slight uphill grade without any complaints whatsoever. The torque delivery felt very diesel like, for half a second or so of planting your foot you get nothing, then you get everything all at once.

    I'm stuck at the minute. I've got a mk5 gti and i've recently started a local service based business which requires me to drive to on-site visits/repairs, spending £140/month of fuel. The mk5 GTI averages 30-35mpg

    To be honest I'm not a fan of the car line. I think there should be a sportive line, but not one based on a already existing sportscar (the golf R). Anyone agree?

    Yeh manual are the best, even thoght in London usally people prefer automatics, which ain't bad but not dsg or semi autos they are pain in the ass to keep the gearbox in good nic and the cost more to get repaired as these dsg gearboxes or any semi auto do go wrong manual last much longer. Also I do like this vw golf but when it comes to cars I like old cars because those are fun, they have character, and they are much cheaper then new cars as well also old cars from 90s and 2000s were great cars and desighns, only sad thing is that i wish i was a young guy back then and I would've boght a new car back then which now they would be 20 years old or so.

      Unfortunately to meet dwlp regs tuned for economy and lower emissions , pretty noisy in lower gears, not a patch on the old 1.4 tsi with 150, this engines pretty boring
