New Volkswagen Golf 8 - 25 things I dislike that VW should of made better!

[@JRCarReviews]

Thanks for all Your comments! In this video I wanted to mention some of the most common criticism You made in my previous videos related to new Golf 8. But also to reflect some of my own thoughts. Hopefully, Volkswagen will consider some design changes in the future when it comes to customer desires. And fix some stuff with the next software update. 😊PS Yes I forgot lack of gas struts on the hood.

Could you list the cars that actually have enough leg- and headroom for you in the back seats?

Also cost cutting items include no hydraulic struts to hold up the bonnett and external door keyholes are uncovred.

[@Max34557]

Wait. For real? No hydraulic struts to hold up the bonnet?? Even my Mk4 golf has that.... Man, nowadays they really build cars as cheaply as they possibly can, and charge as much as they can..

I agree with you dude on those points sometimes the small details matters and obviously vw didn't give attention to it but after all the car is stuning

[@m3t4x49]

Just one thing, you have physical volume buttons on the steering wheel but otherwise I agree!

[@bobby56c]

I agree with some of your points, but come on, you have volume buttons on the steering wheel, there's no need for a physical knob. Also, it doesn't matter whether it's 2020 or 2050 and how expensive the car is. If you are a tall person and need space in the back for passengers you need a bigger car, simple as that. Not a single car in the Golf-segment will you give enough space in the back if you're very tall. Go for the Passat, A4, 3-Series, C-Class, Model 3 etc.

[@Olliebobalong]

I really like your videos. Thing is, cost of production and development has sky rocketed recently. EU legislation means that model ranges across manufacturers will soon have to average 80g/km. Very unrealistic, and it means that manufactures are saving cost and weight where they can, which would explain most of the issues of this golf vs the MK7. I would have loved to seen gas struts and soft touch plastic in the back, but neither are used at all for a vast majority of golf owners. It think Ive popped the bonnet on my Audi 4 times in the last 12 months for example. VW are one of many who are putting up their prices. You can now pay £30,000 for a Peugeot 208 for example. Also, in a world of SUV's smaller hatchbacks like these will not be selling as well as they used to.

@@piee683 the car drives amazingly and really comfortable. There are some things that are annoying. 1. Climate controls + volume. You really have to get used to it. When it is dark, the buttons don't have light so it is really hard to control them during driving. 2. The car has some bugs. One time the alarm went off when opening car. This took like 10 minutes and couldn't disable. This is one of the many bugs I had. 3. The 1.5 petrol engine makes a weird high-pitch noise when driving. Went to the garage and they said it's normal and can't do anything about it. To be honest, it feels like the car was rushed a bit. Not worth the money now but might change in the future when they fix everything and reduce price.

That "cheap plastic" it s used because is very durable over time. You can drive it over 30 years without having to change anything. I know because I have a golf 4 and it still working fine after 20 years, with 260.000 Km on board. Regarding your observation, that there is no leather version, maybe it's the same reason in the middle, the car is so reliable that you would have had to change it a few times, I do not know, I guess.

[@Astke]

Hey, I really like the new Golf, but I do agree with many of the things that you have said here. The main thing that I disagree with are the lack of buttons of AC etc. I think the new bars are a good middle step between going full digital or full analog. And besides, I usually turn on volume on the steering wheel anyway and AC is usually on 21 degrees or auto with me so haha. Also 1 thing. The LED in the boot illuminates the part under the false floor. Though a second light would have been awesome. Also strange. The test car that I had did change from night to dark mode. Might be a bug.

[@hiiiofficial8306]

Totally get you and like some of your suggestions. Looks, interior, physical buttons and practicality. You’d find some of those premium features are on GTD, GTI and R Trim. I have 2019 GTD which has better trim and looks than MK8 so I’ll be keeping mine for few years. Just don’t like the front of the New Golf. I’m aware new Golf R looks bit better but I’m not in market for race style car. Just want a sporty car with right balance.

Hi, first of all thanks for the great video. I've watched all the videos of you on the Golf 8 and I can't wait to have mine. Regarding the display of the navigation system at night! Are you sure that the car has set the switch to automatic? There are three little lines in the navigation screen in the lower left corner - if you click on them you can set whether it should be automatic, day or night. Maybe you just missed that, or maybe I did and you have already checked it. Greetings from Germany!

[@ACS607]

Skoda generally have a better price to performance than VW because Czechia have a cheaper living wage than Germany, Spain and Portugal. The margins on the Golf were already slim so with the cost cutting exercise VW tried to cheapen the Golf without people really noticing but it's there alright. For one it's far cheaper to programme software for HAV than to have physical buttons. It's cheaper to use the same platform than to develop a brand new one or exisitng one.

[@shanimehatzri4796]

he meant for physical button that you roll, not press

[@stuartfrost6464]

Having test driven this exact same model you don't need buttons for the a/c or for volume or phone calls as you can manage it all from the steering wheel and touch screen if you set it up correctly (user error). Additional storage space in the arm rest and side of centre console. Like the idea of extending the sun visor. Overall I would pick the R-line model as offers the all round best package for standard driving. Especially with early offers in some countries on early orders.

[@jean-pierrewevers8205]

The video showed clearly that VW is cutting costs, because of the Diesel Software gate and the investments in EV's. Cheaper plastics, the hydraulic stuts disappeared, use of the old MQB platform, etc. These are only the visible items. I am afraid there are even more not visible use of cheap materials, which will affect the reliability. The new models of Renault (Capture) and Peugeut (2008) use better visible materials than the more expensive VW T-Roc. If a spend so much money, than it should be visible. I am positive about my current Tiguan2, but if VW does not change there strategy, it will be my last VW.

[@adalbert93_75]

I expect a facelift model will mitigate some of these points :). Happy user of Golf 7.5 - always buy cars after facelift folks!

[@TheMirko1969]

You forgot to include the rod for the bonnet that up to 7 was with the automatic piston.

[@JakeRoot]

Interestingly, your "worst thing" (no cup holder roller cover, #16) was never included on North American models, apart from the Golf R. I believe this was because our versions still had handbrakes. Americans won't notice this change! I also don't get the "no knobs" hate, since almost everything on the car can be controlled using the physical buttons on the steering wheel.

[@jameso1959]

The Mk 8 is cost cutting exercise, no bonnet gas struts. The most notable are - no covers on the door handles for the key lock, no storage compartment on the drivers side and in some models no sun glass compartment), no covers in the central compartments (drinks area and charging self), under the bonnet is not painted, in some models the glove compament is not lined, some of the plastics in the dash feel cheap, and lets face it a digital display is a lot cheaper to manufacture than physical buttons and the engineers did not take account of safety implications of using these touch system when driving.

[@nikiskior]

Most of the things you've mentioned are just irrelevant and unnecessarily noted as part of the criticism. If you really don't fancy them, just buy the Golf 7 and you'll have all of them. Volkswagen have tried to improve the previous Golf generations by bringing this one to another higher greater level, but still keeping some main cornerstone headline typical Golf features, famous from the previous models. To be honest, they have done a great job with that. There would always be advantages and disadvantages with everything you do or buy, especially with cars. However, on this Golf 8 the positives are much more than the negatives. Therefore, I do not agree with these 25 things you dislike, but, hey, everybody has an opinion! Great reviews and video by the way! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Sofia, Bulgaria! Hvala! ;)

on the R-line you get 'Sardegna' cloth front seats and outer rear seats with Art Velour inner sides of bolsters... Looks far better than Leather, not to mention cheaper and offer higher sales.

[@emiliospowerballer1441]

I do agree with you that cars are getting a bit more pricey. Depending on the country though, certain cars have certain prices that are light years apart. Same car in my country, Cyprus, starts at 21.900 euros, which by the way is a very very good price for a 150ps car. VW group has been the top seller in Cyprus for a few years now, mainly because their prices are great. But my issue is that more and more automobile manufacturers make more and more high performance cars, which become unaffordable, even when 5 years old. So if this car in Germany starts at 30.000 euros, you might as well save some money and buy the Golf R at 40.000 euros.

[@adonissoyadonis]

Nice video, I agreed many of them. And VW removed many of stowing area in the car. Sunglasses holder on the top, little box on the left side of steering wheel and drawers under the seat etc. I can see too much cost cutting details on mk8. And I’m thinking standart digital instruments are really costly for VW.

[@Astke]

The main problem is that the (well equipped) price sits somewhere in between cars like the CEED, Corolla and Mazda 3 and stuff like the 1 Series and A-Class. So it is in it's own price range. It drives about as good as the luxury c-segment cars, but the interior and some of the refinement tweaks are just not there. I have driven most of these cars at least once, and the Golf is really in between these 2 categories. It feels a lot more comfortable and refined than the Corolla etc. but it is just not there with an A3 or 1-Series.

[@Bianconero_38]

It should be there.. Since golf 4 or 5 is there, pretty convenient, now you have SOS buttons if you will but on the road to drive safely in the summer you need the glasses compartment being blinded by the sun , it's been there since the beginning on year 2000 I think..cutting costs really is disappointing, I was considering the mark 8 golf , but the more I looked at the new mark 8 golf I'm more inclined to go for the mark 7 golf which is cheaper, and there are considerable discounts.. At 18-19k € you get almost all the features with the 1.5 gasoline engine and confortline version manual gearbox .. And to top it all it lacks the gas strout on the engine bonnet..that is really cheap fom VW, love the golf..I have a mark 6 golf which it appears better built and with independent suspension on the rear which makes all the difference , don't think to go higher then golf 7.5 version of golf eventually if they don't fix these problems.. Keep up the good work.. Cheers ✌️

[@forza223bowe5]

I've thought about this for a long time. I had a mk1 Focus for 6 years and yes, while parts of its interior trim seemed built by a toddler, guess what? It was 100% reliable mechanically. Compared to German junk, which have this veneer of being well built, but get past 100,000kms, and no matter how vigilant you've been with servicing, major engine problems WILL occur. So lets take this new Focus, so ok it does not quite pass the centre console rigidity test, but it's more spacious inside, is nicer to drive, and is more refined at speed. Saunders conveniently ignores the last aspect when every other review has stated that the Golf 8 has a fair bit of wind and suspension noise. So, unless you're hell bent on having digital controls, give the Focus a try.

[@joshuafuller2060]

Looks to me like some serious cost cutting! I really don’t see this as a premium car anymore! I just don’t get the new Golf because the Seat Leon is much cheaper but doesn’t look/feel less of a car and the new A3 is much nicer inside but if you work them out spec for spec no more expensive.

No gas bonnet/hood strut either . Can see a lot of cost cutting compared to the mk 7/7.5 golf here

[@azraau2559]

so much cheap plastics

[@mathias61]

Indeed, new Toyotas have a lot of cheap plastics - as always :-)

[@azraau2559]

@@mathias61 you can't compare a german car by a japanese one , german cars are known to be well built , but it's not the case anymore

[@DIFLAZIO]

Take 10 minutes more and find 25 more...i was looking forward for this car but now not much but i like this colour. But no knobs stupid. Learn from Mercedes but their cars are too expensive. So i Will keep my old car.

[@stuartfrost6464]

Having test driven this same model you don't need buttons, just configure the car to your liking on the touch screen and your sorted. Really no need for buttons, once you understand the car.

[@miklosszenasi2033]

Nice video, I agree with your dislikes. I thought you will also complain abougt the light switch, too. I think it is terrible, but I have never tried a Golf 8 yet. I have to admit I don't really like the design either and the lcd instrument. I think my next car will be a Golf 7.5 then I will probably switch to another brand :)

Hmm bas se i neslazem s onim mat ekranom jer mislim da izgleda puno losije i starije od svjetleceg i takoder nemam primjedbu na komande klime jer da su stavili te kotacice unistili bi ostatak dizajna armaturne ploce. Novi golf je jednostavno moderniji i moramo se naviknuti na to.

[@dakivuk2283]

Vozim ga vec 7 dana i kajem se sto sam prodo 7u. Auto postoji samo jos od lose plastike. Komande za radio i klimu nisu osvijetljene, sta god da koristis moras da uklonis pogled sa puta, elektronika je spora i izgubi se, komande za radio i klimu su na pogresnim jestu... kad vozis i hoces da koristis display stalno zakacis na komande od radio/klimu i izbaci tr iz programa... mislim da je ovo moj zadnji golf

[@flowers42195]

I'm 99% with you and what all you said except for your height in the back seats where host a 200cm man is so difficult! And even if volkswagen means cars for the people , the price is too expensive, 100% agree with you. I think car sellers will have to grant good discount especially after the Covid19 era where the crisis will affect everyone

[@Astke]

Agreed. Though cars like the Corolla or Mazda 3 are way worse in this case. I could barely sit behind myself in the new Corolla, and I am 178 cm.....

Zasto stavis naslov na hrvatskom a pricas na engleskom?

[@JRCarReviews]

Darac20 naslov i opis videa je samo lokalno prijevod koji vidiš po svojoj lokaciji, kanal je na engleskom radi većeg dosega publike jer svi znaju engleski, neko u japanu ili u africi vidi prijevod na svom jeziku...

[@jirvine57]

It’s disgraceful the lack on insight, the screens and infotainment systems are just an afterthought. The materials look cheap and nasty. The styling is lazy, not much effort put in at all. I have a mk7 golf R and I think it’s wonderful, the 7.5 is even better, but this Mk 8 is a big bag of lazy, cheap, shite.

[@DenisFrance88]

your car should be able to fly also

[@kotfast]

Sunblinds are extending on the Golf 5, not on the 8th gen, now that's innovation and with 30k € you can buy a Mazda 6 and that's a class above

Ajd pliz bar za Jutjub nauči da se izgovara FOLKSVAGEN, a ne k'o neki selji Folcvagen. THAT'S ALL FOLKS! FOLKS - narod (njem.) FOLC - seljo (hrv.) FOL
