    I own a North American 40th anniversary mk8 with the DSG. Honestly, the steering wheel buttons have never been an issue, nor have i ever activated anything i didn't intend to. They work fine. Are they ideal? No, but they're not the most awful thing ever like a lot of UA-cam reviewers go on about. I can't speak on the larger infotainment since mine came with the poverty spec unit with the knobs and it works fine. Mine has frozen twice in the almost 2 years I've owned it and it feels relatively snappy. My car is tuned and makes near 400 wheel hp now and it's incredibly quick and a blast to drive.

  • @lucasj0
    @lucasj0 22 години тому +2

    Unpopular opionion perhaps - but I really like the touch operated steering wheel buttons in my pre-facelift MK8 GTI. Especially the sliders for volume and skipping from/to the next track are great IMO. I've also almost never falsely operated any of those touch buttons. You just have to get used to it for a couple weeks and then you can operate them perfectly through muscle memory. The regular plastic buttons are also fine - maybe a bit more intuitive for new users, even - but looks wise the cheap plastic is a big downgrade over the gloss black. Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand all the commotion around them.

    9:50 I try 2 think abt it this way: Most people who r driving out in the world r not vehicle enthusiast’s. They don’t have overly competent vehicle control, they don’t drive for a hobby, enjoyment, excitement nor professionally. They have busy lives with numerous distractions at any given time, etc etc. So if vehicle manufacturer’s find a way to help keep their driver’s safer as well as the companies bank account, they’re gonna take it. So I try to ACCEPT as much as I can whenever possible. It really helps W my sanity (whatever may b left of it).

    The 8.5-generation Golf GTI was recently launched in China, with a price of around €27,000 . However, it does not come with an LSD , and the engine is still the 3.5-generation EA888 with 220 hp. On the plus side, it is quite well-equipped and features the CS version’s rear spoiler. What shocked me the most is how expensive the price is abroad,Considering the price, I’m planning to buy it.😄

Definite improvement in the mK8.5, but not enough of a difference for me to trade up to.

    @clemybeatz8031 2 дні тому

    Ive just got the 8.5 GTI, in pretty much the shown spec. For those who are currently looking into these here maybe a few thoughts.
    Engine / drivetrain - bloody fast for 195kW, most of the time responsive only limited to bad conditions, esc is too strong in my opinion
    DCC - is good but personally not quite comfy enough for me to call it a real daily driver, i guess its a preference
    FUEL - thirsthy af. im averaging 10l with a fast but moderate driving style (in de/nl), thats too much for such a “small” engine
    Infotainment - its ok. Does work, not really intuitive, no feel or anything, but gets the job done.
    Comfort - personally its too much road and windnoise for a real daily, its to quite for a sporty car
    features- rather plenty for a golf, chapeau ( soundsystem, headup, etc.)
    First impression in general, was better then expected
    So in my opinion the car is okay, neither really great nor really bad. Would never advise anybody to buy (im sorry but 60k is crazy), but for those owning a business they got vw (in de) has really good leasing deals on it frequently, (similiar to toyota aygo x etc.) so worth having an eye on.
    For those who are interested in how a modern car should be made (mostly) have a look at the cle450 from merc, truely great car especially for those who have to travel a lot, but prefer to do so with some fun (except sound!!)

    So basically they made the car less safe because after you are informed the ui is blocked after using it for 5 s and you drive and drive and have to look if the window already went away you keep checking the screen not looking at the road. Congratulations vw

    new, modern cars are such a shame.You're not a driver anymore, but a co-pilot who is allowed to drive with a lot of restrictions and stupid, annoying "assitance" systems while at the same time paying premium prices for a cost saving product....it's so ridiculous.

    For sure a good car overall, of course has a lot of downsides, but I still think the main problem is its way overpriced what it is

      Yeah it feels like cars peaked sometime around 2013-2017. Proper engines, no OPF, no stupid warnings and assists for everything, no stupid touch everything and no ipads sticking out of the dash and you could still get a manual gearbox. And no tacky lightbars in the front. Looks like a 2 eur LED strip from a random Chinese shop.

    Why is the charge port always on the drivers side on cars sold in the EU? I see a lot of cables sticking out on the roadside, especially tricky to avoid when on a bicycle.

    Why would I pay so much money for this when with that money I can buy a W221 S63 AMG and have money left. An E55 AMG, CL, CLS, S55 or a MK4 R32, MK5, R32, etc. Even a Golf Mk6 R.. A good performing Porsche the list goes on and on and on...

    Actually you have more control on these cars. Shifting manually means increased attention on operating the car instead of just focusing on driving the car which means controlling the dynamics of the car but i get the involvement part. You want to do more, you want to make sure that what the car does it`s from your own command. Maybe the world is slipping beneath us and subconsciously we crave more control. I`d be more concerned with the user data collection and privacy infringing that the modern cars are doing. It`s a far more important thing.

    Say for example if this car was 60k NZD would everyone prefer to spend an extra 5k to remove alot of the cost saving stuff for ease of life improvements such as the touchscreen or processor running it/software etc? along with buttons etc? If im spending 60k id rather spend an extra 5k to know that im not gonna be annoyed by a brand new performance hatch
