Less bits of plastic to creak and rattle minds feels solid no annoying noises like I had in mk7 and 7.5 from the dash, infotainment system is easy to use more so if you create shortcuts to drop down screen, like te auto start stop etc handling is better in the mk8 and dose t feel as fidgety over bumps the 16”s help with torsion beam, doing just under 40mpg, feels nippy and have never felt lacking in power even with the 1.0 110 quiet and refined lots of short journeys, was disappointed I never had auto folding mirrors bit of a surprise I suppose I can live with 😦 albeit very happy

Nice enough looking car but what's with the "battleship" grey livery?

With so much modern technology wrapped up in the golf ,any accident could write if off due to the high costs of repairingor replacing the technology let alone the bodywork

Simply this is the best and smartest and sensible car in the world. I am very satisfied with my new GOLF!!

The Update to "fix" the terrible infotainment system actually has actually broke my Golf MK8, the Garage tries Multi times to "fix" it. Mechanically its great, the infotainment system wasn't really needed!

2023 VW Golf.... registered in 2021?? Interesting!

Ive got the 7.5 golf gt 1.6 tdi is such a nice car to drive have car well maintained does the job mpg localnot so great was hoping lol close to 60 mpg does 48mpg and sometimes managed eco driving 54mpg which anyone would say is good i prefer manual over auto as i improved economy ..golf is a nice hatchback if you maintain well.

Why do car reviewers hardly ever show a car with the back seats folded down? Very frustrating!!

Excellent stuff

I wouldn't buy this, due to the ridiculous over complicated infotainment. Golfs used to be solid simple, easy to drive, but no longer unfortunately.

Still 5he go to? The mk8 was and is a huge disappointment, it’s a great engine ruined by poor interior that is a not one but two gens backwards step in quality, vw stop you from choosing a light interior on anything but match , the infotainment is seriously poor, even the updated id3 that I was fortunate to get a hands on still doesn’t make the grade it’s again not fast enough or easy to navigate without having to dive through submenu after submenu, and still no night elimination for the infotainment, coupled with a year long waiting list it’s getting a bit ridiculous on the parts waiting list

Avoid the Golf, mine rings sos over and over and has had a new gateway and software updated twice.

Way too much tech

golf is good but overpriced

I have just bought a brand new golf auto (style) and its the worst car I have ever driven. The good thing about it is the colour. On a test drive, with a similar car it was good, that's why I bought it. I've just paid £32000 for a diabolical, most crappy car I have ever owned. It's appalling, total crap.
