I’ve ordered the new Golf 8 1.5 eTSI Style 150ps in Dolphin Grey a month a go! I won’t be getting it until end of January because of so many orders, which I thought was strange because an overwhelming majority of people on UA-cam say it looks awful inside and outside!
@@norfolknuthouse6890 Haha that's gas I'm stuck between those colours, I've a dolphin grey mark 7 and really tempted to go moonstone grey in the mark 8. Defo in r line spec.., looks class!
Yes just too much touch screen controls for me .Was going to order one but iam torn honestly think my 7.5 golf suits me better and quite a few things missing on the 8 and no longer available as options .A backward step in lots of ways I fee v w
So when all the software running the car needs to be updated in say 10 years time,will you be able to download it yourself,or will the owner have to pay a large chunk of kerching to VW?
It's growing on me like mould on my bread, however I've got a basic one as a courtesy car in August when my MK7 is serviced. Will spend most of the day playing around with the info screens most probably.
The issue with the front is not the lights, but that sudden slope right above the badge that doesn't blend at all with the rest of the body shape. It's just hideous.
The little DSG gear switch on the Mk8 is great - I mean why do you need anything more on an auto ! - do miss an actual fuel gague tho. If there is no brexit deal the style/dsg/metallic will be over £30k
@@tommorrell9895 only had it a few days now, weather has been too bad here to drive but I'm enjoying it. Only fault is the infotainment system is quite footery with it being mostly all touch. Physical buttons for heating could be better but I will get used to it. Lovely car to drive and quite spacious too for being the car it is. I have the 150bhp r line and does the job for me. Not a petrol head and was looking for something sensible I could afford thru this pandemic. I recommend yeah
It’s quite an important update as the 7.5 was only minor revisions but the 8 is a new look. Will be interested to see how it sells, so far, things look promising. Especially when the R and Clubsport models are available.
I have just bought a brand new golf auto (style) and its the worst car I have ever driven. The good thing about it is the colour. On a test drive, with a similar car it was good, that's why I bought it. I've just paid £32000 for a diabolical, most crappy car I have ever owned. It's appalling, total crap.
Win a brand new Mk8 Golf R here! 👉 bit.ly/BOTB-Win-A-Dream-Car
The looks really grew on me!
I have ordered a golf 8 life but upgraded to moonstone grey and Ventura wheels. Mine is expected to be delivered in august time. Looking forward to it
Dean Crane Hi have been looking to buy one of these has yours proved to be reliable so far?
Saw a new Mk8 Golf today with the R-line package and upgraded alloys and it looked great
I’d agree! The R line trim is the way to go! Looks great! - Christian.
Had a Mk3 golf . Now got a Mk 8 style, love it .
I have a Golf 8 Life in Dolphin Grey Metallic. 1.4tsi auto. It's just brilliant in every way. Leaves me with a big grin on my face.
Really like it!! Extremely smart way sharper than the previous mk7 in my opinion
The primary reason for the two position (lower) floor in the cargo area is where you store the parcel shelf.
Great video mate.would you say the mk8 golf has better refinement than your mk7.5

How is it? I’ve just ordered the 1.5etsi r-line in moonstone grey. Been told 12 weeks roughly so expected start of may but can’t wait for it to come!

I'm getting a new car in January and I can't decide between this and the new mazda 2 gt sport. Has anyone got any advice?
I've got a mk7, but considering the new golf or T-ROC,but not feeling the no button's, prefer button's as its easier to use

I thought about playing for the GTI this week but I went for the Leon Cupra instead as it looks better.
Both great cars 😊
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Good review. Hope I'll see you on Tuesday with an S3 though 🤠
I have a question when does this car release in the us?
Looks getting better like you I thought originally it was not great!!
It’s a grower for sure! Thanks for watching 😊
The issue with the front is not the lights, but that sudden slope right above the badge that doesn't blend at all with the rest of the body shape. It's just hideous.
No folding mirrors as standard on the r line and poorer air conditioning
yeah mine was delivered last week and i was shcoked my 2013 mk7 GT came with folding mirrors!
It has grew on me slightly but I still think its ugly. Especially as a mk7 gtd owner. I'm sure it'll be a great car however
Has the vw8 got reverse cameras as standard
Nope
What about reliability?
Had no issues at all with mine and had mine since July
@@danielrussell446 Hi Dan what is refinement like in your mk8 is their much wind and road noise
I love the 8 👍
I think it looks better than previous gen I love it
The little DSG gear switch on the Mk8 is great - I mean why do you need anything more on an auto ! - do miss an actual fuel gague tho. If there is no brexit deal the style/dsg/metallic will be over £30k
Yours has a sunroof...is that standard for a Style, please?
Panoramic sunroof is an extra at £1000 😊
Hope this helps Stephen.
No extra cost option
Or keep the fat wheels save money, torsion beam is still very good on Squidgy 16 wheels
The rear sloping roofline is horrible looking. Bring back the button and knob controls. To much high tech BS, roll it back to MK5 levels.
I have the r line ordered
How are you finding this car? Im looking at purchasing it vs an A class

yea agressive and slow good job!
Good review mate bit this is a pointless update, 7.0, 7.5, 8, it's not a phone update lol. Overpriced imo.
It’s quite an important update as the 7.5 was only minor revisions but the 8 is a new look. Will be interested to see how it sells, so far, things look promising. Especially when the R and Clubsport models are available.
VW screwed the Golf up with the MK 8. Infotainment buttonless crap! Lucky I bought a MK 7.5 and the end of 2019. I like the the MK 7.5 looks more.
Nah its possibly the worst golf design yet I will stick with my mark 7

The interior looks nice and I'm sure it's a good car, but possibly one of the worst looking cars in the segment, that sloping front end is awful.
The golf is morphing into an Audi, whats going on???? See you tiesday Christian lol.
VW missed the mark with this version. Not for me.
It's a renult megan 😂
