Here's a new review - from our cousins across the pond:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGbPHp6QfkQ
Some interesting things he has to say (apart from the user interface hate)
Not sure how many of the new things you hear him say are actually true though...
Not sure what 0-60's he was quoting there though (5.9 0-60 Manual and 5.1 0-60 DSG!!!)
It was an interesting review, perhaps I'm in the minority but I don't feel the user interface to be that bad but its perhaps because my work Samsung phone is ridiculously laggy so makes my car look like a rocketship in comparison!
Also find the comments about lane assist interesting too, especially considering they are mandatory from 2022 and at least can be switched off unlike in BMW's. All of the safety systems in the golf are what keep the insurance down (I pay less for my insurance on my CS than I did on my mk7.5!)
Quoted from Autocar
"Euro NCAP’s requirements for scoring points towards the total say that only the emergency lane-keeping part of the system “needs to be default on at the start of every journey” and that “deactivation of the system should not be possible with a momentary single push on a button”. That means a single extended push of a button would be acceptable, or even that momentary pushes of two buttons would be fine."Incidentally the other day my car told me off I obviously wasn't paying enough attention for it and it steered me round a bend that I was about to steer myself. It was quite disconcerting!!!
