golf wont be back until its cheap and affordable again. we are seeing golf's reaching 50k euro, wtf?

[HansGruber-wk]

All these manufacturers going for infotainment control versus physical buttons is disgusting. If I use my mobile phone while driving I can potentially lose my driver's license, and rightfully so. But if I want to change the inside temperature I must look at the infotainment screen. What is the difference? Absolutely absurd, and so utterly disappointing, considering the combined experience of all the designers and executives at the top levels of car companies approving and pushing for this Absolutely obvious wrong direction.

[brokula]

44k for a Golf??? Man the market is just nuts!

It's called "Volkswagen", but people can't afford it. Well done!

[rogerjeck]

Love love love that you have started adding rear door closing sound/feel. Hope you enjoy your work as much as I and others enjoy the finished production! it is soooo gooot. Cheers for now ~ Roger

44k for a golf is outrageous 🤯 I bought a new top spec 4x4 dacia duster for 22k after discounts. Works great and took it through floods and mountain roads which I would never do with a 44k golf

for the MK9, they should put back the AC control knobs and buttons, (or take the one from the new Superb) and I'll seriously consider buying one.

[mikofi]

I hate the huge screen. It's just too big. Good that they brought back normal buttons on the steering wheel. The price is ridiculous.

[l.e.i.]

Who needs the illuminated front grill?
The same for the capacitive buttons instead of the real buttons for the main driving functions.
The human body didn't change since the car was invented, therefore all we realy need is a safer and ergonomic driving not a causing distraction driving experience.

[illseemyselfout]

Wait, did he really said that the price of that model tested was 44k euro ?! Is that a mistake or ... ?

[dxg]

Nice to see that VW have created a separate "check engine" light outside the digital cluster. Should make it easier to take the bulb out...

[hamsterclamper]

That illuminated VW grill badge looks so AliExpress

[eppyz]

$44, 000 Euros WOW....that is $47, 000 US for a GOLF. No wonder VW doesn't sell the Golf in the USA any longer, no one here would pay that much for a Golf. I do like how VW has changed some things, but honestly, all and all, I just prefer the MK7 and MK7.5 versions of the Golf better just on aesthetics inside and out. Can't believe how much vehicles are costing these days. Its mind blowing.

[PartizanSRB]

Its ok, but still its just a Golf for 44k for this lets say goood specces model....thats insane.

Love mine. I am getting 45-50 mpg when driven at 50-60 mph in the UK with the engine you have tested. I don 't need fancy graphics to show me how to close the hatch however. I would like a gas strut for the bonnet.

[cheryl]

I wish VW would bring back the Golf to the United States. 
I love the GTI, but would like to have the option for a more affordable Golf.
Nice car and a great review as always.

[Elixir]

I don't understand why are they putting all the digital B's not analog and cheap scratchy plastics in a car over 40 thousand what a ripp off
