Have to say, that looks amazing. The front LEDs are even better than its cousins at Audi and I love the fun interior. They’ve delivered a car with real character and value.
I've been driving the BMW 225e today ! I think you done that one ? I wonder if there will be a Hybrid version or even mini Polo MPV ? !! How cool would that be
Great review as always! Thanks! It is strange how this color can be so different depending on the lighting and the camera. I hope this "Reef Blue" is brighter in real life.
I'm not a fan of the red accents in the interior, but Thomas says that mat grey can be added. Looking forward to a driving video. But since the Polo is not to be had in the USA sad. I'll be happy with my GOLF GTI.
Love it. Especially in the blue. Would love it even more in a 3 door. The virtual display is more like the Audi one rather than the one in my current Golf 7.5. Which is a good thing.
nice review Thomas. I dig this new look and been driven my cousin's gti gotta say I like how it drives. he lowered his car with a custom exhaust and boy it is nice to drive.
The biggest progress of the new VW Polo are the design of the front and of the interior.😍 Furthermore I really enjoy the infotainment and assistant system options. For my own use the new Polo is the better VW Golf 💪 Of course my favorite Polo is the GTI with 200hp XD Maybe the new Polo gets the best GTI because this car is very compact. Can`t wait for another great review with the driving part of the GTI ;) 👍
Are you comparing the current generation? Because the all-new generation will also be available for you soon, and as a world car it should be pretty much the same
Dj Thomas in da' house. Vielen dank for the detailed review. Is it possible if you test the sound systems in all the cars in the near future? Car stereos are often overlooked in reviews and its usually one of the options we all purchase if it's worth it. Pas auf dich auf.
Thomas could u hook up ur Spotify to the car - and then play some non copyrighted music in future car reviews for giving an idea of how the stereo is (I know it's a challenge getting good sound from a car). Just brainstorming. Love your work - keep it up!
I really like the bold interior. I’d prefer the red over grey, but if you could have white then that would be even better for me. Maybe an e-Polo GTI (if that ever happens) would be a candidate for my ideal car.
The Polo has 59 hp more than the Suzuki Swift Sport Boosterjet, but the Polo also weights a massive 380 kg (!) more than the Suzuki. Adding power makes you faster on the straights; subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere!
Hey Thomas! Nice review of the Polo GTI. Großartige Arbeit! If you don't mind me asking, how is your surname pronounced? lol Vielen Dank from the Philippines!
Love the colour, interior is very nice aswell but think I would opt for grey inserts as the red looks a bit garish, is this the plain gti or the gti+, we are getting 2 different ones in the UK, I currently have a 2017 Polo GTI but will upgrade to the new one in a couple of years
i notice ...the black trim on the door window level that covers the B-Pillar has been retained to be part of the door ..unlike the old version where they'd left it in the B-Pillar ... sort of went back to the old 9N door design feel...
well restyled, flying like golf 7 but if the parking brake is electric it will be better, and also the button hazard warning lights near the passenger side, it must be close to the driver is better
Pretty obvious my friend. In my opinion, the 2018 Polo Gti has everything you want in a car TODAY, which my 2015 Polo GTI doesn't so, I'm kind of bummed about it. If you were seriously thinking of getting the Golf GTI, just buy the Golf R. The price difference between the two isn't that far off and the Golf R offers all. Otherwise just buy the Polo GTI whereas it offers you pretty much the same shit the Golf GTI has but at a more cost afforadable price. You can use the rest of the money you might had SPENT on the Golf GTI with simple mods E.g "Vinyl wrap"
Touchscreen responsiveness navigating the map, pinch to zoom response and menu button transition @ 13:33 remind me those aliexpress 30$ WinCE navigation devices. Still better than previous gen. Thank you for the detailed video.
Thomas, ich hätte eine Frage, wann ganz genau kommt ein review mit dem Polo gti? Ich habe das ding schon bestellt.....und ich bin super neugerrig.... hoffentlich bekomme ich ein Antwort. Danke! MfG
Such a very nice review as always, thank you Thomas ! Now i can't wait to see the driving review... But, about the dsg, you said the polo has the 6 speed version ( by the way, not limited at 250nm now). But why only 6 speeds ? In France, with the golf 7 gti facelift we have the dsg 7... The new polo have to come with a dsg 7 like the golf.
It depends on the horse power figure as I said. The strong engines get the 6spd as the wet clutch can better handle the torque, all below that 7spd dry
Nice. But still strange for the dsg. VW put a dsg7 in the new golf gti ( and the new golf R), with a 245hp TSI ( or 310hp). But for the polo, they "only" put a 6 speeds for 200hp, wet clutch as you said. Look like strange in my opinion, the new polo use the same engine, but with a different dsg. We will see on the road !
Thomas, do you know, or can you find out the ET of Polo’s 7,5x18 Brescia wheel? Need to get a set of winter wheels before my GTI arrives, but the ET is not available anywhere. Great review once again!
As always, a super review. It is too bad the polo is not sold in Canada nor the USA, tho it is sold in mexico and latin America. I know i would give up my golf gti for a polo gti. I see the rear side and hatch glass is tinted. I hope this is optional and not standard as it makes the interior far too dark especially with the black interior. Having lived in the Northeast of N. America and having spent extended time during winters in neidersachsen, where the days are often gloomy and the tint is not needed (as well night vision is obscured) i truly do not like driving with tinted windows. I can see the tint as necessary in sunny climes though.
@Sasham5GTI If you want much more of course you're going to go with the Golf but, you're paying more for it... It's not rocket science. The Polo Gti has everything you want in a car but at a very cost effective price without it being too expensive for the average person. I'm a bit annoyed because I have the 2015 Polo Gti (fully optioned) that does not have the many features that this New 2018 Polo GTI currently has. The Polo GTI has become a much more premium vehicle then ever before. If I had the funds, I would definitely get this over the Golf GTI. If you want to get the Golf GTI.. you may as well just buy the Golf R (price difference isn't that far apart).
Thanks Thomas, great review! I like the look of this car, indeed very much like the Golf and it would have been a worthy alternative if it weren't for the cost saving in the interior. I have to say especially the inside of the doors puts me right off. On the other hand VW sure wouldn't like it if everyone switched from the Golf to the Polo! :-)
it's similiar construction with mk7 GTI engine, maybe turbo is smaller as 2.0 TSI 190, but definitely it's EA888 3gen (in mk6 is 2gen with low quality piston rings = oil concumption problem)
Are you sure this is not the darker blue "Dark Petrol" colour ? This one does not look so bright and glossy in the video, as the "Reef Blue" shown at IAA in Frankfurt, or in most other videoes.. Also seen the official "Reef Blue" colour test plate at dealer, and that look brighter and more glossy than the one shown here..
Thank you for quick reply.. really looks so different in this studio low light situation.. much darker.. Glad I saw it "live" at the IAA, and can rest assured the Highline I ordered will arrive in a brighter more glossy blue colour... (anyone in doubt can also try google "VW Reef Blue") Thank you for many great reviews.
every single car review these days completely misses the technical specification part, what happened guys?? how does the engine mechanically compare to the golf's, it's internals; what about suspension details, mutlilink, torsion beam; brakes, no info on disc diameters; CAR KERB WEIGHT??? great reviews nonetheless tho.
In some rental cars you'll get a sort of "key card" on cars with start stop button, that could be it. It sure does look like it did in a rental i had once.
when aj reviews it will he finally learn to use the active info display or will he complain again about the displayed info because he doesn t know how to change it? 😀
I do as well but, I actually like this one as well. Looks very different and more matured and also comes with everything I wanted in a car that the 2015-2017 Polo Gti should of had......
Correct me pls! In 1992 Opel Calibra 2 LITER TURBO delivered 204 HP. So in 2018 VW can do the same ....... If you ask me it's pretty lame for a 23.000 euro starting price!!!!
Dark petrol is a solid colour and this car seems to have a metallic finish. I'm hoping you're right though. I really like this gti's colour and a solid paint would be easier on the pocket.
The question is if the engine is actually the same as the golf with is20 turbo ? And if the intake/cooler are the same (bigger then the old gen polo) if it is the same it’s really amazing
exterior Is near perfect. I'm sure they will fine tune the front lower bumper on the facelift. the interior dash looks too simplistic, not fascinating.
yea so stupid they are got rid of that, let's hope that the mk8 golf will have a 3 door version, 3 doors look way better and i literally use my back seats 5 times a year max, even my front passenger seats rarely gets used.
the reason why i like the 3 door version more is because i'm quite tall so i sit back far, with 5 door models this means i sit too much next to the b pillar, the 3 door the b pillar is more behind me
Somehow the Market research revealed that the ppl who buy the Polo with 3 doors, is not that many. So VW decided to shit on the ppl who want 3 doors, to save costs in making the car. I don't really car as I need a car to have 5 doors ;)

A good looking car ruined by cheesz ideas to say were not boring anymore, if this is the best vw can do I'll take the golf interior any day. Vw give purchasers the ability to delete that crap trim
It may be annoying but, I don't mind it much with everything else it comes out with. Honestly, for what this car now gives to the consumer, I would buy this over the golf any day.
Yeah, I like the digital display but am not at all sure at the red colour for the dash, especially with that blue exterior paint choice. Definitely Like the cars overall style though, it is attractive, the styling kind of makes you just expect a bit more from the inside, as if you're actually looking at a much more expensive class of car!
Perhaps if Volkswagen want to inject a bit of fun into the design they should consider allowing customers to customize that piece of dashboard trim, choice of materials like a fake suede or even custom artwork wrap etc.., but at least this way it would give the customer something appealing to them, rather than something off-putting!

This 6 speed gearbox is dq250 like we have in old gti / golf r ? I mean 7 before facelift ?
Yes!
When will you do a driving test of the GTI?
Have to say, that looks amazing. The front LEDs are even better than its cousins at Audi and I love the fun interior. They’ve delivered a car with real character and value.
This guy's voice is like butter.
=)
Thomas, you're a legend! Keep up the good work.
thanks pal ! =)
You are first in the whole world! THANK YOU!
stick with us! :)
Can you say if it will have full DCC from other VW or what is sport and normal in the setting of the car?
yeah it does
Autogefühl thanks! Funny, that i’ve asked exactly that directly Volkswagen and even after one month i have no answer, from you in a minute :D
That's not full DCC. Only normal and sport.
A very detailed overview with good HD footage. Excellent, good job!
cheers!
Another great in-depth look! Thanks Autogefuhl.

Nice video and congrats for 200k subscribers

And after 100.000 km
Really love this car, The design has come so far in terms of safety and comfort !
.......and not forgetting amazing review by Thomas as always .
cheers pal !
I've been driving the BMW 225e today ! I think you done that one ? I wonder if there will be a Hybrid version or even mini Polo MPV ? !! How cool would that be
You are the best reviewer... I like your channel bcz you are unbiased..
Thanks man! That's what Autogefühl is all about, not only me, but also my colleagues
waited long for this
now you got it!
Great review as always! Thanks! It is strange how this color can be so different depending on the lighting and the camera. I hope this "Reef Blue" is brighter in real life.
it is not. But there are other colours available
Are you really sure that it is the Reef Blue and no Dark Petrol? Maybe VW gave you wrong info?
I'm not a fan of the red accents in the interior, but Thomas says that mat grey can be added.
Looking forward to a driving video. But since the Polo is not to be had in the USA sad.
I'll be happy with my GOLF GTI.
Great review, Thomas. Looking forward to the test drive!

Great looking car, love the blue color, too. The side profile reminds me more of Audi A3 than Golf. Which is a good thing.
This how the Golf GTI should be sized
This 2018 VW Polo Gti 2L Turbo has officially become a spaceship
Love it. Especially in the blue. Would love it even more in a 3 door. The virtual display is more like the Audi one rather than the one in my current Golf 7.5. Which is a good thing.

nice review Thomas. I dig this new look and been driven my cousin's gti gotta say I like how it drives. he lowered his car with a custom exhaust and boy it is nice to drive.
+Tri Do thanks we ll keep u updated!
As the golf has gotten bigger and bigger, this is basically the new Golf GTI for me.
The biggest progress of the new VW Polo are the design of the front and of the interior.😍 Furthermore I really enjoy the infotainment and assistant system options. For my own use the new Polo is the better VW Golf 💪
Of course my favorite Polo is the GTI with 200hp XD
Maybe the new Polo gets the best GTI because this car is very compact. Can`t wait for another great review with the driving part of the GTI ;) 👍
+car addicted coming in a few weeks!
as a mk7 gti im totally getting that polo as a successor. Getting a stage1 tune should get 250-260hp. A proper pocket rocket.
Made in Germany !!!
this is enough to love it !
South Africa
Love "pump it up y'all" height adjusting seats :)
=)
Great review, as always. Thumbs up from Poland Thomas! :) When can we expect test drive review?
thanks Patryk! In a couple of weeks
Looks really attractive car :)
200bhp in a Polo is Awesome. A proper Golf Killer. Silly VW
Amazing Review! I'm scared of the difference between the European Polo and the Brazilian Polo. Your Polo is much better
Are you comparing the current generation? Because the all-new generation will also be available for you soon, and as a world car it should be pretty much the same
Dj Thomas in da' house. Vielen dank for the detailed review. Is it possible if you test the sound systems in all the cars in the near future? Car stereos are often overlooked in reviews and its usually one of the options we all purchase if it's worth it. Pas auf dich auf.
first of all thanks a lot. To your second point: mostly it's the problem that we don't have the right to use music played on the radio.
Thomas could u hook up ur Spotify to the car - and then play some non copyrighted music in future car reviews for giving an idea of how the stereo is (I know it's a challenge getting good sound from a car). Just brainstorming. Love your work - keep it up!
I love this design and this colour... Works very well

Hey Thomas! Nice review of the Polo GTI. Großartige Arbeit! If you don't mind me asking, how is your surname pronounced? lol
Vielen Dank from the Philippines!
+Cyril Benedict Lugod thx! :) see the beginning of the Renault espace review :)
Love the colour, interior is very nice aswell but think I would opt for grey inserts as the red looks a bit garish, is this the plain gti or the gti+, we are getting 2 different ones in the UK, I currently have a 2017 Polo GTI but will upgrade to the new one in a couple of years
great video
i notice ...the black trim on the door window level that covers the B-Pillar has been retained to be part of the door ..unlike the old version where they'd left it in the B-Pillar ... sort of went back to the old 9N door design feel...
what's the tyre size for 18" rims? Also, why's this thing as big as mk4 golf? WTF?
Always 1st Thomas! Well Done! When will we see the 1st drive with this GTI?
thanks! December :)
Autogefühl cool stuff. Looking forward to it as I wana buy this vehicle when it comes to South Africa. Awesome reviews as always. Keep it up!!! 👍
Is it really possible to order a spare tire with the battery in the trunk?
Has the GTI special "non-digital" instruments? Or the standard ones?
well restyled, flying like golf 7 but if the parking brake is electric it will be better, and also the button hazard warning lights near the passenger side, it must be close to the driver is better
Polo GTI or Golf? That's a tough one.
Pretty obvious my friend. In my opinion, the 2018 Polo Gti has everything you want in a car TODAY, which my 2015 Polo GTI doesn't so, I'm kind of bummed about it.

Remember the Golf GTI MK1? How compact and light it was?
Suddenly this new Polo GTI makes sense to me. Golf GTI on the other hand does no more.
I really like this car.
That 80s music tho! At 7:55
How many weeks before the mechatronics needs replacement ???
Thomas, ich hätte eine Frage, wann ganz genau kommt ein review mit dem Polo gti? Ich habe das ding schon bestellt.....und ich bin super neugerrig.... hoffentlich bekomme ich ein Antwort. Danke! MfG
Hi, das driving review kommt vermutlich Anfang Dezember!
Such a very nice review as always, thank you Thomas ! Now i can't wait to see the driving review...
But, about the dsg, you said the polo has the 6 speed version ( by the way, not limited at 250nm now).
But why only 6 speeds ? In France, with the golf 7 gti facelift we have the dsg 7... The new polo have to come with a dsg 7 like the golf.
It depends on the horse power figure as I said. The strong engines get the 6spd as the wet clutch can better handle the torque, all below that 7spd dry
and thanks btw! =)
You will be able to check out our full driving review with the GTI jus in a couple of weeks!
Nice. But still strange for the dsg. VW put a dsg7 in the new golf gti ( and the new golf R), with a 245hp TSI ( or 310hp). But for the polo, they "only" put a 6 speeds for 200hp, wet clutch as you said. Look like strange in my opinion, the new polo use the same engine, but with a different dsg. We will see on the road !
Indeed very strange. Also that the GTI gets the 6spd and the GTI Performance the 7spd. Hmmm. I ll talk with VW about it
Yes thanks a lot ! BTW in France we have only the Performance version, with the 7 spd now....
Thomas, do you know, or can you find out the ET of Polo’s 7,5x18 Brescia wheel? Need to get a set of winter wheels before my GTI arrives, but the ET is not available anywhere. Great review once again!
thanks! I dont have any resources for that, maybe ask your dealer ?
Autogefühl They don’t have it yet, neither does wheel dealers. Maybe VW can tell you when you do driving review?
lets see what rims we have on the driving event, 2 weeks left
can we read that on the tyres we ll have mounted ?
Autogefühl ET is stamped on the inner side of the rim. I would ask VW’s staff on the track!
As always, a super review. It is too bad the polo is not sold in Canada nor the USA, tho it is sold in mexico and latin America. I know i would give up my golf gti for a polo gti. I see the rear side and hatch glass is tinted. I hope this is optional and not standard as it makes the interior far too dark especially with the black interior. Having lived in the Northeast of N. America and having spent extended time during winters in neidersachsen, where the days are often gloomy and the tint is not needed (as well night vision is obscured) i truly do not like driving with tinted windows. I can see the tint as necessary in sunny climes though.
+S G thanks!!
I hate hard plastic on the top door sills, regardless of the price point of the vehicle.
No need to buy a Golf
No need to buy VW
No need to buy Germany
Golf has way better material quality and has padded armrests
@Sasham5GTI If you want much more of course you're going to go with the Golf but, you're paying more for it... It's not rocket science. The Polo Gti has everything you want in a car but at a very cost effective price without it being too expensive for the average person. I'm a bit annoyed because I have the 2015 Polo Gti (fully optioned) that does not have the many features that this New 2018 Polo GTI currently has. The Polo GTI has become a much more premium vehicle then ever before. If I had the funds, I would definitely get this over the Golf GTI.

Di che marca è il tuo orologio, è molto bello?
I wish this would come to Canada
30K in the netherlands sadly :( Looks to be a great practical hot hatch
Is it Automatic???
The highline without a engine (1.0 with 95hp) starts at 18k here. So the question is, how starts the GTI then?
+Der SinnOr all info in the review
Allright. Cant wait :)
Does this new Polo GTI have the same 2.0 200hp Motor from the MK6 GTI?
not 100 % of course but basically it is the same engine block, there are no different 2.0 l petrols at VW, why should there be
it's similiar construction with mk7 GTI engine, maybe turbo is smaller as 2.0 TSI 190, but definitely it's EA888 3gen (in mk6 is 2gen with low quality piston rings = oil concumption problem)
Maciej M i think it comes with the same turbo (is20) as the golf , but less powerful map
Isn't the current Golf the Mark VII?
Perfect Review as always. For me personally, the polo looks boring as VW always does. :( The Hightech Interior doesn't save anything for me.
thanks for your praise!
Are you sure this is not the darker blue "Dark Petrol" colour ? This one does not look so bright and glossy in the video, as the "Reef Blue" shown at IAA in Frankfurt, or in most other videoes.. Also seen the official "Reef Blue" colour test plate at dealer, and that look brighter and more glossy than the one shown here..
+Henrik Læssøe see discussion on that in the other comment!
Thank you for quick reply.. really looks so different in this studio low light situation.. much darker.. Glad I saw it "live" at the IAA, and can rest assured the Highline I ordered will arrive in a brighter more glossy blue colour... (anyone in doubt can also try google "VW Reef Blue") Thank you for many great reviews.
+Henrik Læssøe 👍
it's the reef blue ? Thanks :)
we were told so. Looks darker in the studio than outside
every single car review these days completely misses the technical specification part, what happened guys?? how does the engine mechanically compare to the golf's, it's internals; what about suspension details, mutlilink, torsion beam; brakes, no info on disc diameters; CAR KERB WEIGHT??? great reviews nonetheless tho.
At least its blue not that blue/green of the outgoing version
whats that weird horizontal gap right from the start engine button?
Bad fittings
I was test driving a Highline and it has the same. Dealer couldn't figure out himself what it was for. Lets hope someone finds out soon!
In some rental cars you'll get a sort of "key card" on cars with start stop button, that could be it. It sure does look like it did in a rental i had once.
when aj reviews it will he finally learn to use the active info display or will he complain again about the displayed info because he doesn t know how to change it? 😀
thumbsUP!
To much red on the dashboard, it would be better in carbon or a dark silver color.
I reckon it looks very good but there's an option to choose another colour if you're not a fan of red.
It looks amazing in person I would say. Def. did not expect that.
I really like the 2016 Polo,this one is weird,lol
I do as well but, I actually like this one as well. Looks very different and more matured and also comes with everything I wanted in a car that the 2015-2017 Polo Gti should of had......
And even on a little Polo, the interior is still better than an Alfa Giulia. That's why german cars are the best.
Mc Larens please. And Toyotas and Honda and Hyudai.
Correct me pls! In 1992 Opel Calibra 2 LITER TURBO delivered 204 HP. So in 2018 VW can do the same ....... If you ask me it's pretty lame for a 23.000 euro starting price!!!!
Okay i will. The calibra turbo in 1992 was 49.000 d mark that was 32.000 usd in 1992...
And that is 56.000 usd in 2017. So the 23k euro is supppperrr cheap
Well then think about Honda's 1.5 LITER engine with 182 HP in a regular Civic and that engine is not badged GTI !
In Germany we say: Hoch wie ein Bus xD
*Please do review on the Huracan Performante*
i think the color is not blue reef but dark petrol...
I was also a little sceptical, that was the information...
Autogefühl Do you know if it is possible for you to ask confirmation about the color name to VW?
Dark petrol is a solid colour and this car seems to have a metallic finish. I'm hoping you're right though. I really like this gti's colour and a solid paint would be easier on the pocket.
We re-checked, it appears like the car looks way darker in artificial light, it will appear brighter in daylight
We re-checked, it appears like the car looks way darker in artificial light, it will appear brighter in daylight
Polo GTI + IS 38+ bigger intercooler....
+ 3 inch downpipe + air intake mod = 400 HP Polo o_O
The question is if the engine is actually the same as the golf with is20 turbo ? And if the intake/cooler are the same (bigger then the old gen polo) if it is the same it’s really amazing
This is completely off topic, but how in the heck do you pronounce your last name with out offending your very soul? D:
+FoxVoxDK Noneofyourbusiness see our Renault espace review
2.0 gti so stage 1 is 280hp?
The dual clutch dsg transmission is less durable, therefore I won't buy it for sure.
you're wrong, it's DQ250 DSG , same gearbox as Leon Cupra 280/290/300 and prelift Golf GTI / R
Wow
Where is the driving review? GTi... :(
Filming it beginning of december
exterior Is near perfect. I'm sure they will fine tune the front lower bumper on the facelift. the interior dash looks too simplistic, not fascinating.
eye porn there, thank god they have 2 litres now.
So they used table cloth to cover the seats! :-)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
23k euros in Germany will become 23k pounds (if not more) in UK unfortunately. We will be punished for Brexit!
in the netherlands...this car will cost u around 30k euro's.... life can be so unfair.

Nice. ...but since it can't be had with 2 doors it will be a NO buy. ......sadly.
yea so stupid they are got rid of that, let's hope that the mk8 golf will have a 3 door version, 3 doors look way better and i literally use my back seats 5 times a year max, even my front passenger seats rarely gets used.
the reason why i like the 3 door version more is because i'm quite tall so i sit back far, with 5 door models this means i sit too much next to the b pillar, the 3 door the b pillar is more behind me
Same for me. Would have ordered a GTi a month ago. had they offered a better looking 3 door. Mini JCW it is then.
FYI: Opening the rear doors is optional. ;)
Somehow the Market research revealed that the ppl who buy the Polo with 3 doors, is not that many. So VW decided to shit on the ppl who want 3 doors, to save costs in making the car. I don't really car as I need a car to have 5 doors ;)
I am really disappointed, the colors reef blue and energy orange
not really look good. Completely lackluster
That's a shame. Can't always please every single person. There will always be another colour to pick, otherwise you can just vinyl wrap it instead.
Wenn ich einen Kanal "Autogefühl" anstelle von "car emotion" nenne, was soll dann das schwachsinnige Yänkeegeschwafel ???
Hallo!
Unsere Website für ausführliche Hintergrundinformationen machen wir auf Deutsch, schau mal auf www.autogefuehl.de vorbei.Die Videos laufen über RUclips und erreichen ein internationales Publikum, sehr viele Zuschauer aus USA, Deutschland, Großbritannien, Japan, Russland und weitere aus über 100 Ländern der Welt. Darum sind unsere Videos auf Englisch, das ist der kleinste gemeinsame Nenner.
Die meisten deutschen Videozuschauer verstehen auch Englisch, aber fast alle anderen verstehen kein Deutsch. Insofern ist es nur logisch, die Videos auf Englisch anzubieten, was auch sehr gut ankommt.Wir würden uns freuen, wenn du auf Deutsch unsere Text-Berichterstattung verfolgst und auch hier unsere englischen Videos.
Ebenfalls würden wir uns freuen, wenn du höflich fragen würdest!
Herzliche Grüße

Wish to watch and listen in polish as well please 😉
A good looking car ruined by cheesz ideas to say were not boring anymore, if this is the best vw can do I'll take the golf interior any day. Vw give purchasers the ability to delete that crap trim
It may be annoying but, I don't mind it much with everything else it comes out with. Honestly, for what this car now gives to the consumer, I would buy this over the golf any day.
Urgh....that dash is hideous! Shame because the car is actually very nice.
Probably the first car ever that is actually completely ruined by the dash. Cheap, toy-like and hideous
Yeah, I like the digital display but am not at all sure at the red colour for the dash, especially with that blue exterior paint choice. Definitely Like the cars overall style though, it is attractive, the styling kind of makes you just expect a bit more from the inside, as if you're actually looking at a much more expensive class of car!
Perhaps if Volkswagen want to inject a bit of fun into the design they should consider allowing customers to customize that piece of dashboard trim, choice of materials like a fake suede or even custom artwork wrap etc.., but at least this way it would give the customer something appealing to them, rather than something off-putting!
It's optional so you don't have to take it right?
Buyer can opt for the silver dash trim panel
