Is a VW Golf VIII Variant 1.0 TSI Life a good city car?

VW Golf VIII  Variant 1.0 TSI Life

regular on the road in city? Here it especially depends on the vehicle dimensions, but also on comfort features such as parking assistance and connectivity.

With a length of 4633 mm and a width of 2073 mm, it is increasingly difficult to find parking spaces in German cities. Tight turns in particular are becoming a challenge. Even parking assistants are only of limited help. The turning circle of 11.1 meters makes maneuvering in tight spaces even more difficult. Appropriate parking assistants such as a 360-degree camera and parking sensors should definitely be on board.

There are front and rear parking sensors, but not side ones.

Rating: The dimensions of the VW Golf can make it a real problem when maneuvering space is at a premium. Parking sensors, parking assistance like self-steering systems and at least a rearview camera are all on board with this vehicle and help in tricky situations. If you move around a lot in the city and have to rely on public parking spaces, you won't do yourself any favors with this car.
