kurrent 1st Gear July 30, 2021 Share July 30, 2021 (edited) Came across this article. May i sua ku and slow. Share with fellow mk 8 owners here: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/top-10-best-selling-cars-europe-2021 1 Volkswagen Golf 27,247 The latest-generation Volkswagen Golf arrived in Europe last summer. The Golf has always been one of the region's best-selling cars, so it's no surprise to see it back at the top of the list. The quintessential family hatchback reclaimed the top spot from the Peugeot 2008 crossover. New variants, including the GTI Clubsport and R, should help it solidify its strong position in future months. Best sellers in europe. Hope we the new mk 8 owner nv choose wrong.

Ghostshellz 1st Gear July 30, 2021 Share July 30, 2021 @kurrent No worries, the golf 8 is indeed very well built and fun to drive. Coming back from a Mk5 GTI. 🙂 The mk8 made me enjoy the golf all over again. @kensuke welcome to the club. When is the ETA? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like only HempOZ and myself had collected the golf. Dun worry about the COE, my rebate was 57k but VCS submitted up to 63k and we secured it at 60k. As HempOZ mentioned, the reverse parking sensor is very sensitive. If you are too near to the wall/car, it will suddenly jammed brake immediately. You will get used to it gradually. I do get freeze screen in my rear camera while parking once in a while. It should be an easy fix with a software upgrade (not available yet). Other than that, I am enjoying the golf as it is. 😃 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The autobrake when parking feature can be disabled (if it is still the same as previous models). Did the service centre commit to a date for the upcoming fix?

Jest1081 Neutral Newbie July 31, 2021 Share July 31, 2021 (edited) @Ghostshellz awesome la bro. Mine coming in sep. I saw an r-line in woodlands a few days back... at night its beautiful! Was it you bro? 🤭 Noted a few things during test drive, much quieter than mk7, maybe coz of mhybrid. But its not as torquey, din get to fully exp the sport mode. Anyway, how's the ride quality with those pirelli runflats? i'm considering a swap with primacy or goodyear. Edited July 31, 2021 by Jest1081 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm… the emergency parking braking cannot be disable, only the autohold feature (once stop in D/R, it will hold brake for u) can be disable. The firmware update is not available yet. We will be informed once it’s available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the 8 club!! No lah, mine is white Life Plus. 😃 Once in sports mode, the car is more alive as testdrove. In normal comfort mode, it’s super fuel saving mode with the hybrid batt. Came with normal Bridgestone Turanza tyres, I swapped them for Michelin PS4 immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsolo89 1st Gear August 1, 2021 Share August 1, 2021 Haha i would've pulled the trigger if not for the fabric seats! Shall see whether theres further promotions on the GTI in the future (end of year sales etc). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostshellz 1st Gear August 1, 2021 Share August 1, 2021 Read somewhere that VW new green direction towards environmental friendly and lesser usage of leather seats. Hence will see more fabric seats on the newer models to come except for premium models like GTI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
