The New Volkswagen Mk8 Golf - A Summary of What We Know Now

Volkswagen

I loved it. Golf.

It was in our house until this spring.Volkswagen Golf Mk7 with 1.2L engine and 7-speed DCTI had it for about 3 years and it was a really well made car. I owned it for about 3 years and it was a really, really well made car. It was very rigid and did not feel like it was cut corners in any area. It was very stable to drive, and the brakes were very controllable to the touch and effective enough for my needs. It had torque from the bottom and was easy to ride.Power feeling so powerful that it is hard to believe that it is 1200 ccThere was a

Goodbye Golf 7 and thank you - overall review after owning it for about 3 years.

I still think my husband and "Golf was great...He even talks about it as "the "Since the first Golf was introduced in 1974, a total of 35 million units have been produced in 45 yearsNo wonder they call it "the

The reason for giving up such a favorite golf game of ours for both of us was that this past spring I was "in theI want to drive a manual car.I was fed up with my inability to drive my Boxster GTS (manual transmission) even after three and a half years of having my AT license removed, so I decided to buy myself a manual transmission car.

If that's the case, it would be more realistic to switch to the Golf, but there's still time before the Golf's inspection, so let's take our time and look for the right one.

Just as I was saying that, I met a used BMW 320i and had to part with my Golf sooner than I had expected.

In fact, before that, I visited a Volkswagen dealership.The only one I'm putting on the MT specs right now is UP.They said, "We're not going to be able to afford it."... They also recommended the Golf 7.5, but my husband said, "We're not going to be able to afford it."No, I'm not sure I'd buy a 7.5 now with the Golf 8 coming out soon...said, and eventually his connection with golf was severed there.

Golf Mk8, now available!

So I was reading a web magazine at the beauty salon the other day and found the December 2019 issue of Le Volant with a feature on Golf 8 to my surprise.

Well, come to think of it.The Golf 8 was announced in late October.I was...!

Poof!Sportier and more sophisticated design while retaining the previous Golf-like featuresIt is apparent that the You wrote, "Volkswagen design is sporty, but it doesn't sacrifice the pursuit of beauty and utility either."The headlights are now LED matrix headlights and the rear lights are new.The design is now sharper.

Somehow, it also looks like an electric car.

That shift lever looks cool, like the new 911 (992)!

It is also commonly installed in modern cars.voice control systemis also available in the Golf 8. The word to activate theHello, Volkswagen.".

Hmmm...long w

I wish it was as compact as "Hey, Siri"...(By the way, Mercedes-Benz is "Hi, Mercedes" and BMW is "OK, BMW.")Can we change the word that activates this?

Driver Assist SystemLane Keep Assist "Front Assist including Urban Emergency Braking"and others are standard equipment, while adaptive cruise control (ACC) is said to be optional.

My husband's opinion about the Golf 8

By the way, I asked my husband what he thought of the recently announced Golf 8.

I don't know the specs in Japan yet, but I personally think it's a good idea.Mild hybrid on 48V battery called "eTSII would like to drive a Basically, I like gasoline engines, so I am more interested in this system that uses high voltage to assist the gasoline engine rather than diesel or a complete hybrid.
Also, when the Golf 7 came out, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) was a novel and impressive feature. It was advanced at the time, and I think the Golf 7 was the first imported car to make ACC commonplace. That's whyAgain, I'm interested in how the ACC and driving assistance systems have been refined.Wa.
Anyway, the previous generation Golf Mk7 was a really good car, and I can't imagine what could be changed to make it even better, but the Golf Mk8 will probably be able to achieve that.

He said. I would love to drive it when I can test drive it.
