Volkswagen Golf GTE 1.4 TSI GTE 5dr DSG Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
Useless car!
Let’s start with interior, hate the control system, it’s rubbish, hate the fact the heater and volume below the screen is not back lit! Wtf!
Hate not having knobs to use for heating.
Hate the safety features that tell you, no scream at you to take over the steering whilst you are holding the wheel. Hate the way it’s applied the brakes on the motorway if it decides you are not holding the steering wheel.
The car will panic if it thinks you are going to crash whilst manoeuvring in a car park and it slams the brakes on hard, nearly breaking my families necks!
And I absolutely hate the way the ecu can’t make its mind up whilst flooring it away at a junction or island as it uses electric then decides to pull all power causing you to lurch forward in your seat then bang! You get the full power from nowhere! It also sounds like the gearbox exploded under the car with a huge clanging noise.
Now air con doesn’t go warm on drivers side if passenger has the temp on less than 23!
Then they also hold back voice control so you can’t use Alexa etc and asked me for £200 extra! Get stuffed VW. Stay well clear. 40k new!!
Bag of pants!
