2018 VW Golf 7 1.0 TSI (110 HP) TEST DRIVE

[@QjOmg]

I live here in Brazil. And I have the privilege of having this car in this configuration 1.0 tsi, but with 125 hp in ethanol. The car is magnificent, I already reached 219 km in fifth gear. Your video was excellent. Congratulations!!!

Hab ihn jetzt ein gutes Jahr und kann mich absolut nicht beschweren. Verbrauch ist top, 4,8l haben manchmal schon auf 100km genügt. Er ist viel drehfreudiger als ein 4 Zylinder und spricht auch schöner an. Sound ist kerniger als beim 4 Zylinder und trotzdem sehr laufruhig. Leute die sich über kleinhubige Motoren beschweren haben meist gar keine Erfahrungen mit den modernen! Aggregaten gesammelt. Überzeugt euch bitte selbst mal richtig und beschwert euch nicht nur aus Prinzip

Finde solche Videos auch gut. Wäre aber noch besser, wenn Du auch mal Deine Eindrücke akustisch rüberbringen würdest. Ich hatte gerade für einen Tag einen Mietwagen. Auch der Dreizylinder. Fuhr ganz gut. Aber man merkt schon einen Unterschied zum Vierzylinder. Von den Armaturen fühlt man sich im G7 sehr wohl.

[@SuccessfulOzzie]

This car isnt bad... i was terrified of the fuel consumption but its actually really good...... My golf 5 TDI 1.9 has a super high fuel economy... holding 80km/h gives around 95mpg to 1100mpg depending on the gradient of the road and wind direction...

[@baturpasha2709]

I am a manual transmission fan but cars with small engines either petrol or specially diesel are better off with DSG transmissions as they are better from standstill and much smoother.

[@M1kyDZDR]

Small engine needed more gears for good effective

[@KarlAlfredRoemer]

Ich habe auch einen 1.0er in meinem Polo 6N1. Der Motor hat zwar keine Leistung (sofern man ihm nicht genügend Drehzahl gönnt) , aber dafür sind die AER-Motoren für Benziner sehr haltbar. Meiner hat zur Zeit 465798 Km auf der Uhr und kein Ende in Sicht. Bei den TSIs ist es wohl genau anders herum. Viel Fahrspaß aber häufige und teure Reparaturen.

Wie ist der 1,0 TSI in einem Golf so? Macht sich der Dreizylinder gut und lohnt sich der Zylinder weniger wirklich? Wie immer gut und ohne viel Bling- bling ;)

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

Der ist wirklich gut, wir sind auch mal zu viert über Mittagspause zum essen gefahren und zwar in 6. gang und etwas leichte bergauf zieht er von 80 auf 100 wirklich recht gut

[@leon_o11]

Also für 1 Liter Hubraum, der 1,2 Liter 4 Zylinder wurde ja vorher Verbaut, hast du den gefahren? Und wie ist er im Vergleich beispielsweise gibt es diesen Motor ja jetzt in vielen VAG Modellen. Fabia, Polo, Octavia, Ibiza usw.

[@SebastianFehlach]

LeOtti _ Nimm lieber ein bisschen mehr Hubraum. Das merkst du sofort in der Elaszität.

[@Rudis_Garage]

Der logische Verstand müsst schon sagen das 1 Liter Motoren mit 3 Zylinder der größte Rotz ist. Unter 1.8 braucht man sich nicht kaufen. Stell dir vor 5 Personen im Golf und Klima an. Das sind dann die piss Karren die mit 95 auf der Autobahn fahren und ein Lkw überholen. Geil.

[@RB-hz2bf]

When you disable the stop and start does that make the fuel go even more. I just got a 2017 tsi 1.0 and I put £60 full tank and by the fourth day it’s just above half I don’t think I’ve driven much as well

[@oddities-whatnot]

I dont trust VW reliability. Had new VW and Audi, both had problems straight out the showroom. Not good enough. I also wish car makers would stop this ridiculous rear end design where the bumper trim is made to look like big exhausts. Nothing more than pretentious crap. I would be embarrassed to be seen in a car like that, pretending I've got big exhausts. Mercedes are the biggest culprit. Do they think other drivers will think its real ? Sadly it seems that car makers are becoming drawn into a world where style over substance is more important. Perceived image is everything to a lot of buyers, even if its tacky, so long as its flashy, thats all that matters.

Boah, ich kann dieses Dreizylindergeklötere langsam echt nicht mehr hören. In einer Pizzaschlurre wie in einem Up meinetwegen, aber in einem Golf, welcher sich inzwischen so luxuriös anfühlt, wie das früher nur ein Passat tat, passt es einfach nicht. Mein Rat an alle Golf 7 - Interessenten: Der 1.5 TSI verbraucht kaum mehr, klingt und läuft aber ordentlich.

[@cyclemartin4073]

I’d rather the 2.0 tdi

[@greaser3069]

nasty nick obviously... its just expensive.

[@cyclemartin4073]

Say No to Autonomous Driving Weedy performance for economy ? If economy is the objective then go for the TDI at least it has a bit of Poke and still manages to be economical , And Likewise if out right performance is what a buyer wants then it’s a GTI or R . If your a peasant like me and A Ford fan You’d love the RS but can only afford the ST🤣 . sure a Golf gti is better but so is the price .

[@blardmann]

I've got the 2.0 tdi, it's amazing. Had the ECU remapped for more performance and economy.

[@cyclemartin4073]

blardmann cool. im not really a big lover of diesels, i respect there powerful especially on the roll, and economical, but i dont like the engine noise, i dont do many miles so economy isnt a necessity , however if i wanted something really economical i wouldnt go near a 1 litre, its ok for old ladys and school run mums who dont drive hard, but once you get heavy footed with it , itll be slow and un economical , so for that reason my choice would be the tdi.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Yes, id love a noisy oil burning diesel four cylinder, and of course the important factor is to be able to drive like a bell end on the motorway commute, look at the torque ive got LOL tailgating and cutting in at the last second. Dashcams catch people like that every day....

can i chooose 1.0 tsi 110 bhp, polo🌼

[@rakeshmeena1978]

I was driving towards Moradabad (UP) few days back, my car stopped suddenly, I stopped the car and wait for 10 minutes, again I started the car but it did not start. I took the car to Volkswagen authorized service center atWolgswagen Moradabad, they had no clue what has happened they kept on saying that they are checking, after two days they are saying head is broken and pistons are damaged due to overheating. They were clueless and opened my car parts completely, and charged me heavily for just inspecting. Now my question is how come this has happened without any warning light. This is a premium hatchback and I expect it to have this basic feature of overheating warning which is present in cars worth half of polo’s price. It’s surprising that a moder engine can self destruct with ZERO warning, I bought this car because of the (German) engine only.

[@keepwalking6041]

does it feel weak? 110 HP.. it is much more feasible with a lower price..if it doesn't feel too weak 110 hp is actually ok

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

Nothing weak, at last gear with light uphill and 4 people on board and it has still power

[@m1rchegfn]

I don't think that even the 85hp model feels weak, because of the higher torque from the turbocharger. Engines are small, but they are punchy because of those turbos.

[@Horizon301.]

m1rchegfn yeah only inexperienced people think that. I have driven a 75ps 1.4tdi on the polo and the torque honesty makes it pretty similar to the 1.6tdi. Most of the haters are Americans with their bug engines

[@m1rchegfn]

I think that it's enough punchy for daily driving in the city. Also, highway cruising on 100-120kmh should be okay. However, it's not that powerful for overtaking, but then again, which engine with ~100hp is powerful for that? Go for the 1.5 TSI 150hp if you need that, or 2.0 TDI 150hp. That would be the ultimate highway cruiser.

[@Horizon301.]

m1rchegfn trust me even the 75ps diesels manage it. I’m sure the petrols aren’t that bad? I live in the countryside and you can easily overtake at 40-60mph or even from a stop and overtake with no issues. VW engines are surprising to say the least as any other engine tends to be underpowered and struggle. GM with their Vauxhall/Opel engines is an example of where their 1.2’s are a pile of crap
