2018 VW Golf Alltrack Review - The Ultimate Family Hauler

[@TheStraightPipes]

So what do you guys think? Ultimate reasonable family hauler?

[@dtraill627]

Definitely on my list for my next ride. Plus in the US you can get a manual! They seem to be going for as much as 5k under MSRP. Thanks dieselgate!

[@charlieadams929]

I kind of like the blue

[@lostinbravado]

It's a fancy family hauler. I would buy it in the first 5 or 10 years of my kids life and then go for the Honda Odyssey when things get more demanding. Though the 4motion is nice.

[@soundersaz550]

It's still a VW. I simply can't ignore that fact. I'm dying for the perfect dad-wagon, but this isn't it. How about you guys get your hands on the new Jaguar XF Wagon...?

[@GavinHolle]

+1 to the savagegeese idea!

[@altershape]

Car reviewing in winter, this is another reason why this channel is great! The majority of car reviews seem to be in places where the only "snow" they know goes up the nose..

[@TheStraightPipes]

+altershape we try

[@ryandurrell3471]

I have a 2017 Alltrack.Totally agree with your review. It's a great car overall, and does just about everything right. One exception - power. I've found it so much better after installing the APR Stage 1 tune (240hp and 290lbft!) and DSG tune... totally transformed the car.

[@ThirdBrainLives]

I've been watching car reviews on KZbin for years. But for some reason, I just barely stumbled upon these guys. Best thing that ever happened to me. They're straight to the point, thorough, comical, and honest. They need more subscribers!!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Carson Redford awesome thanks! Share the videos if you like them :)

[@shahulhusman]

Agreed.. I caught their 1st android vs iPhone a watched a few others.. Great reviewers.. Funny

[@moorewr]

I came back to this excellent review to mourn the news that VW is dropping the SportWagen and Alltrack in the US. Boo, bad show VW!

[@ZCT808]

I'm on the American VW site right now and I can still spec one. Did they bring it back?

[@moorewr]

@@ZCT808 they've been discontinued for next year. Grab one while you can!

[@ER_aka_RAM]

Production is through December.

[@INFINITY1421]

Could it be for the golf getting a new generation?

[@saturndesigns2339]

Drake INFINITY1421 they aren't bringing the golf back to America for the new generation. Only on the GTI. My mom just picked up a 6 speed manual alltrack since production is ending in December and it was our last chance.

[@LunchyGoodness]

Always courtesy wipe.

[@YuriTereshyn]

Lmao

[@andrewh7345]

This review was a big influencer in helping me pull the trigger on an Alltrack. I love that you guys review a wide range of cars that all types of buyers can learn from. Hard to find any other single source for that in video format. Keep the quirks and insight coming!

[@Sandals-WithSocks]

Still have the alltrack? How is it?

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

I'm considering one of these...was it good?

[@andrewh7345]

@@allosaurusfragilis7782 It's been great. No major issues. There was a recall on the sunroof seal. No complaints about it

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

@@andrewh7345 OK thx for info. We've had several golf over the years. My wife had an r32 for over a decade and it was brilliant. Then got decent money when she finally sold it. Well built, reliable cars, if you look after them. Like most cars these days. If you really like it, you're more likely to look after it I think. I've now got an old passat awd, and I'll have to consider something newer one day. Golf all-track ticks all the boxes. Pricey here tho.( scotland) cheers

[@Slowwagonftl]

I bought one of these thanks to this review. A manual of course. Been a year, best car I’ve ever had. :)

[@caseyjones6873]

You don't have to start the car and turn it off to access the wipers; you can either turn the wipers on once after turning off the car, or if the car is already off, turn the key to turn the electronics on-then back off-and turn the wiper blades on once

[@AtentieCadMere]

the nice comment section thing happened to me, but just wait for your channel to get past 100k. some people all of the sudden will hate what you do on the simple fact that you are nice and talk freely, but keep up the good work, you have very entertaining videos.

[@YuriTereshyn]

Atentie, Cad Mere! Thanking the commenters while we still can!

[@mrr9789]

Yuri Tereshyn, really is a nice touch, that, mate! A rare thing these days! You're both guys who most of us who watch your vids, would have as friends! Two good, down to earth, funny yet knowledgeable lads! Take care my friend, and see you both soon on your next one!

[@martin-gt7id]

Here we are at 308k and the comments are as lovely as ever.

[@good-tn9sr]

TheStraightPipes lol you guys were 1 year late with that comment

[@KrisRifa]

For years, Motortrend was my go to place for car reviews. But as of late, Jakub and Yuri are my favorite reviewers! Keep up the awesome work guys! :) Now I enjoy you guys reviewing "mundane" cars more than Motortrend reviewing super cars!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Kris Rifa oh damn, thanks

[@ramseyhazemey795]

Kris Rifa agreed

[@davidschau2719]

2:29 Well, as a german I can agree with that statement being aware of the fact, that the Passat is differentiated in two totally different models for the US and europe market. Last one is segmentwise placed above the Golf, just as it should be normally also for the US Market. But there's no cheaper US Version for the Golf, which is the cause for the fact, that this tested Alltrack feels way more "luxurious and better" than the (US-) Passat. Thanks for the Review guys. I appreciate your good work as always!

[@curtisjmurphy]

It should be pointed out that the AllTrack and the SportWagen are now available with a 6 speed manual and 4Motion on all trim levels in Canada. Also happy to see that adaptive cruise and the other driving aids are available on mid tier and up instead of just the top trim level. I was hoping this would be a review of the manual version. I think the AWD-manual-turbo-wagon combo will become a cult classic. It's only brown paint and a diesel engine away from perfect.

[@TheRealDeepZ]

"Sometimes you really need that 3.4 inches" ... I laughed at how the other host could barely keep a straight face.

[@andrewpancroft3284]

Thanks for the review, guys! Based on the review...took home my new Alltrack SEL and love it!

[@MrNemo721]

3:14 I see what you did there. I see it.

[@mikexbox1]

TheVP laughed way too much 😂 fucking love you guys

[@FriendlyManitoban]

[@jwvandegronden]

Well, it WAS in your face, so hard to miss (puns intended ;-)

[@jeffgroves4533]

I don’t get it?

[@aaroncaldwell9571]

I live in the states and have a 2017 Alltrack SE that I absolutely love. White with black [vegan] V-Tex seats. Great little wagon

[@TimLucasdesign]

In the US, you can buy this in 3 trim levels. S, SE, and SEL. I just bought the S. I have fake leather, no sunroof and no fender, but everything else is the same. I love it!

[@crbb3099]

Great video, honestly I just subbed to you guys and I’m loving this format you use, it’s so laid back and actually engaging, well done...always nice to see KZbinrs from the GTA too! Anyway all that stuff Jakub mentioned about the wipers and nozzles have been specific to VWs since like 2006..the “service” mode I believe doubles as a winter mode because of the fact that having the wipers up like that prevents ice build up, so technically you don’t have to also lift the wipers... Keep it up guys, these videos are great!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+CRB B this is our first winter with a Volkswagen review. We're learning as we go. No lies here

[@zohaebjilani1808]

White 92 Nissan quest fam here! I used to neutral drop it and beat civic hatches in drag races lol. My friends called it the supercharged minivan. It was a legendary car. I also bought an Alltrack because of you guys! It's my slowest car and the first car I've had that's even offered in automatic. I freaking love it.

[@uxtico]

Love this car! I really like the cladding, makes it look rugged (like a Subaru Crosstrek, but classy??) Also, sometimes 3.4 cm make all the difference! Love the review, keep up the good work guys!

[@dougstump2520]

I bought a new 2022 Honda Accord hybrid new. Traded it after just a year of ownership for this car, and I have been happier than I have with any car I have ever owned. This video nails all the wonderful things about this car, but this car is superior in so many ways. The ergonomics are Volvo-level. Everything about the car feels dialed in and well thought out. My Honda Accord hybrid was getting 39-42 MPG, and this VW gets 36-40 MPG on highway road trips. I get nice power, but it comes with everything you could want or need in a practical family vehicle: rear cargo space, comfortable "premium feel" seats, agile, responsive steering, roof rails, and an engine and transmission that is reliable and easy to work on. THANK YOU for this video, it helped me make this switch. This is the first time I have bought a new car, then traded it in on a used car, but it was the right move for me.

[@maveric0738]

Volkswagen has been doing this to the wipers since 2005! Nothing new. This Is Haldex 5th Generation AWD System. It’s 60/40. It can send 100% to the rear wheels.

[@jackMcRyder]

Yeah, man, hey Y. Gagarin and Jacob Oczhewizchski, VW *always* had these wipers!! ;)

[@hazenkunde3520]

Had a 2007 Wolfsburg and it didn't do this?

[@arsenalfanatic09]

all i found online is that it's mostly 90/10 if you're driving straight and 50/50 at most for the back. I don't know if any AWD system sends all power to the rear, even Lamborghini's never do

[@errhka]

We love you guys! Keep doing what you are doing!

[@shnam13]

I see more drawbacks of sun roof than their benefits. It will start to viberate after a couple of years, Higher center of gravity, lowers your head room.

[@mbashton11]

I picked up a brand new Alltrack S (White w/ Brown interior) back in August for $21.5K during the VW clearance event...I LOVE THIS CAR!!! Funny thing is that I was coming off a 2003 Honda Element (165K miles!) This Alltrack has really reconnected me to the DRIVING Experience! The Element was definitely a versatile utilitarian ride but was certainly lacking on the horsepower front. The Alltrack meets up with those same utilitarian needs but really MOVES out! You CANNOT go wrong with the vehicle. Fully agree with your two thumbs up assessment! Thanks much for your FUN FILLED review!!!

[@TheLastMInuteHack]

I believe it is the Only New wagon with a manual transmission that you can get in the US/CA. Besides the Golf Sportwagon.

[@hhanonymous]

[@stephens6896]

As a Mazda 6 wagon owner, this checks all the boxes to replace it. Not sure if the upgrade to the Alltrack is worth it over the regular wagon, but it’s a nice looking wagon overall and love it in green.

[@praveen4143]

As a Mazda 6 sedan owner hoping that Mazda will bring their new wagon to Canada, I agree with you. I might end up pulling the trigger on this soon...

Damn that's probably the nicest compliment we've ever received. Thank you!

[@brentz1880]

It's very nice and refreshing that your reviews cater towards the buyers of the specific car. You're not doing an enthusiast oriented review on an AWD station wagon, for example. Going over the little details that most reviewers don't touch on is very cool as well.

[@ikjadoon]

I always forget to check, but this time I remembered! $38,000 Canadian buckaroos ~ $30,328 American buckaroos $32,500 Canadian buckaroos ~ $25,940 American buckaroos

can you please leave this comment on all of our videos

[@ikjadoon]

Haha, it's legit always in the back of my head. "Oh, yeah, I was going to look that price up here." As long as I remember, I will for sure do it. I'm always like, "How excited should I be about that price?"

[@colleenhenderson8302]

ikjadoon but we have health care ;)

[@BrianLampright913]

They are GIVING these things away in America, one of our dealers in Salt Lake City is advertising almost $10k off sticker price. A loaded up SE they list for about $22k. I'm sure there is some stuff you won't qualify for, so maybe it's really 25k, but what a steal. I think the VW Alltrack is by far the best value right now.

[@ichouinard]

Currently shopping for an Alltrack, this is BY FAR the best review/tour of this car. Good job guys! 🔥🔥🔥

[@StephenMinervino]

I agree about the Grand Tour. I'm loving it this season, it feels so much more natural and interesting. I look forward to it every week, and this show gets me through the wait. ;)

I've had this car for 2 years now and its great! Its a great overall car, looks good, enought space, equipment, fun to drive, very comfy, quality interior, love the traffic jam and adaptive cruise control. Buy the panoramic roof, def worth it! The negative....it can be loud in high speeds, and its a bit thirsty 7.7 liters, thats about it!

I am from the future, and just drove the 2019 Sportwagen here in 2020 (you don't want to know). Everything that I dislike about driving our '19 Outback 3.6 is fixed in the VW. It will be our next family sharing car, even though we love our Subaru for the cushy, numb Vista Cruiser ride, that is the polar vortex opposite of this VW.

[@fortheloveyoutube]

So, first off, you guys are great, thank you. Keep being Canadian and “real” about each car! Gotta contribute an opinion as it applies to this review in a way, kind of, sort of...earlier this year, I went from a Jetta Sportwagen to a new outback thinking I needed a bigger car, but after driving it a year, went back to this Alltrack (in red, of course), and I couldn’t be happier. The subie was just as you determined in your legacy review, the most boring of all to drive. It was an embarrassing mistake, corrected by my inevitable return to VW. One can truly enjoy a practical, sporty, driving experience whilst taking 11 boxes worth of stuff along for the ride! Thanks, Canadian dudes! Two thumbs up!

[@ebinbelji7381]

The wheels look really nice

[@dmitriknoll2642]

I was at the VW dealership just yesterday and 1. the service was fantastic, but 2. I test drove the 2017 Sportwagen with a 14L Turbo, and I fell in love. Definitely buying a 2019 the second I get the chance before theyre all gone.

I've noticed that with all the stats you give about the engine, torque, etc. you never mention gas mileage. Personally, that is high on my list , especially in a family car like this. Just a thought.

[@RSXengineering]

The greatest thing about the Alltrack is that you can build it to make 350hp to all 4 wheels with bolt-on modifications and a Golf R turbo.

[@kylesorensen1231]

Have you thought of the APR Plus for the 1.8? You may just adore your alltrack even more... Speaking from experience:)

It's a wonderful car, we love our 2017 former 850R and S60R and C30 owners, also have a Volvo 242 and 245. Car it replaced was a 2015 Chevy Sonic. The VW Alltrack is one of the best haulers and cars for our needs we could find, much more enjoyable to drive than the subaru and cost to own is not much more than a subaru over 5 years. In fact its cheaper then a new volvo in terms of cost to own and maintain. People THINK VW's are a pain they arent, I also had a 99 Passat that was a wonderful car, except when teh waterpump went.. but its expected. DSG clutchpacks no longer fail and its the best transmission ive ever owned, friends R32 is a blast to drive with one and when i saw it in the alltrack i was excited. Transmission service is not going to be bad every 4 years, 40k its around $600, honestly the cost to own and maintain the car is not bad, we also looked at a mercedes glk suv and it would have cost more and mercedes is top teir for reliablity anymore. We will see how this car holds up, we have 3000 miles on it and its been perfect.

Awesome!!

[@FlyinGato]

Great review as always, any thoughts on VW reliability? I wish they still offered the diesels...

[@DerpotronGames]

It's getting better than it was before. The 1.8t is pretty reliable as they have been making that engine for a while now as well. The DSG Transmissions have also been pretty solid since 2010-11 or so.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+FlyinGato it was reliable in the 2 weeks we had it...

[@acchaladka]

VW have had average reliability for about a decade. Average on a modern car is much better reliability than 20 years ago. I’ve had a very solid experience in five years of ownership, would get another without question.

[@Jeepingshort]

They are plenty reliable now. The 1.8t does excellent.

[@Tcflohr]

My 2010 GTI, 2014 Tiguan and 2013 TDI have all done over 130k without repairs. My 2016 GTI has 40k on it without issue. Even my old 92 Audi s4 had 300k on it with all factory parts still minus consumable parts.

[@invizion4993]

[@vladsaghin7644]

Invizion I think it's a great option at 800$ give or take, especially during wintertime when it's dark at 4pm

From my 'murican point of view you guys are the best Canadian KZbin car channel. And since my wife is Canadian I can even understand what you are saying (mostly).

Don't be a tool. They're fun and they're happy and you watch them enough that you've decided to comment. So unless you're interested and that's why you're asking, then back off.

Notification squad! Discovered you guys a while ago. Great work as always!

[@TheStraightPipes]

DavidTVBox ! We don't have any money

[@davidtvbox4767]

TheStraightPipes You're lying! All KZbinrs are secret millionaires. Everyone knows that. You can not fool us. 😀👍

[@TheStraightPipes]

+DavidTVBox ! I wish. You'll know when we're rich. Our daily cars will be lambos and Ferrari's
