The driving roads in Cape Town! It's been six years since I visited the first time and the scenic routes along the ocean are basically car driving nirvana. Always nice to click on a Juliet video and relive some of it at least. Especially when I have a meter of snow outside my window :) I will be back at some point!
I was sold on this car, but needed a car within a few months and due to supply issues it takes a year (MINIMUM) to get a golf here. I was willing to throw all my money. So unfortunate.
When we can eventually buy this, the LCI Goof 8.5 would have being painted and the touch screen terrible interface would have been changed. I really wouldn’t bother and just wait.
Car sounds great and looks great. Still way overpriced as usual. In terms of the aircon/fan, spot on...some things just need physical buttons and not touch screens
Released in 2020 and we are yet to see it on the market??? Chip shortage or not they took way too long. Guessing there's already going to be a facelift model in other markets. Apart from the timeline we are yet to know the price of this and I've got a feeling they are going to mess that up as well.
Love your reviews! Funny, informative and presented by a hottie!!! LOL (Agree 100% with you on people driving fancy cars (any car these days) and not connecting their phones via Bluetooth; Its irresponsible and stupid)
I wanna hear Ciro shout “I AM A HOOLIGAN MWAHAHAHA!” too! Can you imagine? “I am a HOOLIGAN!! Now that I’ve just shouted at a passing child, probably a good segue into its 0-100 time.” in his usual sarcastic undertone 😂 Thank you for shouting that on a cliff road and not at a passing child. Great video! 😂
Concur about use of cell phones BUT is this more dangerous than trying to navigate all the touchscreen crap that car manufacturers are currently obsessed with and the rubbish system VW has in its cars.
No price, but I bet you it will be overpriced nonsense just like almost all VW cars. Pass. Not sure who is spending this much money on cars still. Crazy.
Same price as a Tesla Model 3 Long Range, the Tesla is faster, hold’s value better and more economical. Anyone who thinks this type of cars are sporty and fast would see the Tesla as a super car 😂
lets be honest shall we its crap inside cheap plastic everywhere and no physical buttons 2 do anything!!! really poor VW go and look at the new AMG A35 inside and out and thats how a performance hatchback should be!!!!
Went to a VW dealership to have a look at this infotainment system everyone is complaining about, albeit it was a GTI not an R. I have to say no sane person would design such a clumsy UI. WTF VW? It really is bad!
Why do people have to own cars that can do crazy speeds on public roads in South Africa. The death and injury rate on SA roads is a National Emergency.
Haha connecting your phone is an extreme sport,some features are for married people,we’ve learned the hard way
🤣🤣🤣

I'd still get a 7.5 GTI or R
Damn prices aren’t going down 😮💨
I have done 👍
Hit the curb on your first right turn. Scraped up those nice wheels. Awesome!
I will rather have that than than a Gr Yaris at 800k

I just love it when my day starts with a new video from Juliet!! 😃 Thank you!
Same here! Just love her videos!
Juliet, you know you can use voice commands to do stuff in this car? I do, "hey Volkswagen, turn the temp up/down, seat heat on/off, volume up/down".
Love your videos. Lank informative with top-class wit and humour. Brilliant

Yes Jules, in the EU Golf 8 is due for a face lift anytime soon.
As a fan of the Golf, it’s the first time I really dont like this car. It’s NOT worth the price tag (which we know is around 1 million!!).
R1.2m and no need to complain about the price as it’s sold out
VW does not even have a launch date yet for this car. It’s been available overseas for more than 2 years. It’s beyond pathetic.

Is it worth the extra premium over a GTi?
As soon as I know the price I will be able to say. But hmmm I am not sure
Adjustable dampers?
Is it easy to drive it?
Pricing is reasonable. All new cars today are overpriced . 250-300k on a top of the range Hyundai grand i10 💀.
Oiii miss Juliet, I'm only gonna remember one word of this review😂😂😂😂🍻
U right though🤪

I tend to agree with you here Keith. I miss traditional buttons so much
I came here to hear you sing.
Sticks like WHAT to a blanket??😁
The wait was too long don't even care anymore, not like I can afford it lol
Brokeee, they are sold

They have something to hide when they don’t pair their phones to the car Bluetooth 😂
Then the side chick call while on Bluetooth, driving with your wife... 🤦♂️
The wait was too long, might as well wait for the facelift
there's a facelift coming?
@@samsimmons2831 Volkswagen boss Thomas Schäfer has confirmed that the Mk 8 will be facelifted in 2024 before being replaced by the Mk 9 in 2028.

But it's quiet though.
It doesn't explode
Tesla with it’s shitty and cheap not well made interior! No thanks!
Where is the singing? I think this needs a do-over lol
User interface in Golf 8 is a fail
Upgrades on the way
This car is such a lemon but we're such fanboys that no one wants to admit it
100% agreed. My mk8 gti was such a lemon in aus I sold it in 7 months and bought an older Octavia rs wagon instead!
lets be honest shall we its crap inside cheap plastic everywhere and no physical buttons 2 do anything!!! really poor VW go and look at the new AMG A35 inside and out and thats how a performance hatchback should be!!!!
Normal climate control knobs work just fine. We'll die with these things they do nowadays.
No it wasn’t
Hahaha I might agree with you ;)

No singing?????😭😭😭😭😭
Is a car like this still relevant?
Nope
Why do people have to own cars that can do crazy speeds on public roads in South Africa. The death and injury rate on SA roads is a National Emergency.
@John Oldnall ok let's hear your solution?
Why wouldn't it be? I have a '22 Porsche 911 Turbo S and this for a daily driver. Both are awesome and fantastic to drive.
For 1mil nah
another numpty stay in SA
