VW Golf VIII Variant 1.5 TSI R-Line - Town car

Is a VW Golf also suitable for drivers? {frequent on the road in downtown? Here it especially depends on the dimensions of the vehicle, 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.

The vehicle has electronics and assistants that make parking automatic, i.e. self-steering, if desired. Parking sensors are installed in the front and rear, and also on the sides. A rear-view camera is installed, which automatically displays the image in the infotainment system when reversing.

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.
