The eighth generation of golf, 8 months, ran 7,000 kilometers, about the use of this car is good or bad, today to give you a small report.
First, let's talk about the appearance.
This one is the PRO version, and the design of the front and rear bars and wheels will be different from the R-Line version. But over the past few months, I've become more and more fond of the R-Line's look...
However, the guidance price of the R-Line version is 16,000 yuan more expensive than the PRO version, which exceeds the budget, so I thought of replacing the full set of R-Line kits later, after all, it is easy to buy on some second-hand platforms.
By the way, those who choose "manganese stone black" car paint should also be extra cautious, because the body often accumulates dust, is not resistant to dirt, and may have to wash the car frequently.
After the encirclement of the whole series is decorative hidden exhaust (in addition to GTI), that is, everyone says that the fake exhaust this point does not have to complain, people hundreds of thousands of Mercedes-Benz Audi are fake exhaust, I am a 150,000 level golf with fake exhaust is also very normal.
Generation 8 Golf emphasizes digitalization.
The most reflected in the car is the joint screen design and a large number of touch buttons, including sunroofs, headlights, air conditioners, etc. are touch function buttons.
The speed of the car is the controversial place of this generation of golf, saying that it is very stuck is not, anyway can not be called smooth... And many keys must be pointed very accurately to succeed, and it may not be convenient enough to use when driving.
The PRO version does not have CarPlay without the optional "smart interconnection package", but somehow I have it. (Dog Head)
It felt like a volkswagen wool.
I spend a lot of time with CarPlay on a daily basis, including navigation and listening to songs, but the only regret is that it does not support wireless connectivity.
Otherwise, it will be much better to use it with the wireless charging panel below.
In addition, yatsushiro Golf's air conditioning interface is hidden in the second level menu, and you have to click on it every time you use it. Although there are page shortcuts (the LOWER CLIMA position), I still prefer physical buttons or air conditioning areas that can be operated directly.
The wheelbase of this generation of Golf is the same as the old model, both of which are 2631mm, positioning compact cars.
To be honest, I really don't think the back row is a little bit enough over the past few months, especially when carrying family.
It's not that you can't sit down, but the horizontal and vertical space does have some depression.
If the car is only used by two people, or a family of three, it is actually no problem, (of course, the premise is that the height is enough), even with friends is enough, small space can close the intimate distance.
But to say that you often carry parents or have 5 people to travel, then this car is obviously not in line with the needs, to the space can choose a similar price of Sagitar, Tange and so on.
By the way, the PRO version also supports 10-color atmosphere lights, the focus is that the degree of delicacy is really amazing, and the so-called public sense of luxury is also counted, right?
I didn't bother to clean up the trunk, mainly to show the most real use.
Near the Spring Festival, the tail compartment also has to put some New Year boxes and the like, the conventional volume of 380L is enough for me, and the daily use is more to put bits and pieces, but if there is storage just needed, it is definitely more practical to choose a sedan.
Measured 0-100km/h acceleration...
Although this car has S gear, I tried it several times and found that the starting reaction was not as fast as D gear.
So in the case of a temperature of 16 °C, the electronic stability system, the D gear, and a total of two people in the car, it was measured that 0-100km/h accelerated by 8.8s...
The official data given is 8.6s, which is not much faster than the actual measurement, after all, I have one more person sitting in the car.
The results are certainly not very satisfactory, but I know that because the Yatsuyo Golf is a National VI emission model, it has added a particle trap, which is a little slower than the same 1.4T+7 dry-clutch model of the National V.
Moreover, the feeling of this car driving up is not as slow as 8.8s, especially the front section of the speed up is quite with feeling, the city with the car can be fully satisfied, the gearbox response is also very fast! Including overtaking, rapid acceleration, etc. are ok, and even I rarely have the opportunity to switch to S mode.
Let's talk about the steering and the feeling of the chassis.
The steering force of this car is default and cannot be adjusted. Even so, I think it is just right, whether it is for boys or girls should be acceptable.
The steering feel and texture are very good, the adjustment of the feedback force can also bring a sense of stability, and the electronic taste of the steering wheel steering is not heavy, coupled with the 45 flat tires, the road sense is relatively clear, personally think it is more suitable for the pursuit of driving pleasure crowd to drive.
The quality of the chassis is really good.
As a global car, the Golf's chassis tuning can still cope with the special road conditions in China, the sense of heaviness is quite good, in the 150,000-class joint venture car, I think its chassis level can be ranked in the top three.
From the suspension adjustment, you can see the public's skill, the soft when soft, the hard when hard, the overall stroke of the suspension is not long, and the undulating road surface can be properly controlled.
Even from my personal feelings, the chassis of the 8th generation Golf can be comparable to some joint venture B-class cars, especially the Japanese B-class cars, and the resilience of the Volkswagen chassis will be more obvious.
Did you regret spending 150,000 on golf this year?
Many people have asked me the same question, but I still insist on my choice.
150,000 is a very large market, everyone wants to spend the same money to buy more things, but in fact, where is the perfect car?
Like this eight-generation Golf, the hatchback compact car sacrifices the space inside the car, but can be replaced with better flexibility, heaviness, refinement and so on.
In short, buying a car must be specific to each person's own needs, and it is the last word that they like.
