The new VW Golf Cabrio with the EOS strong competition in the own House. As it comes with mohair and attractive prices. But fortunately without roll bar. First test drive in the new Wolfsburg.
In a few years, you will probably ask: who was the same again this EOS? Ah, Yes, right, the Volkswagen who made the top without thoughts so beautiful winterfest and long. This VW had missed a retractable hardtop with integrated glass sunroof, an attached trunk, as well as a new name him. At the same time prices were so that for the four-seater far less heart warmed as for the VW Golf Cabrio of earlier days strongly upwards.
The strawberry Cup, in which the Grandma's and Grandpa's today in love knutschten and to their children weiterreichten it later - as a piece of silverware on wheels. At times, the open VW Golf spearheaded even the global convertible top. After nearly ten years of inexcusable absence, a new VW brings Volkswagen Golf convertible in June. Without roll bar. Without round headlight. And without the certain something.
Disillusioned you will see: Volkswagen venture in a preloaded so emotionally model such as the VW Golf Cabrio no experiments. And the risk reduced number through instead, Golf takes off the roof of the VW, puts on a finely sewn cloth caps for, stiffened the body on all corners and edges and pleasantly soft fine-tunes the chassis. That the silhouette reminds A3 convertible of the Audi, is located on the almost identical masses of both models, sharing a platform.
The VW Golf Cabrio is only two inches longer, but just as high at 1.42 meters at 4.25 metres and has even the same wheelbase with 2.58 M. Thanks to the development previous of Audi, a well dammendes roof that folds in nine seconds (up to 30 km/h) and above the trunk electrically together is the new. You can see that before anything by hand must be unlocked, either in the first sample of the seat. Heart flutter would be inappropriate here, because here it looks like in every golf. In the VW Golf convertible it captures a famous three-spoke steering wheel with multifunction keys (extra charge), looks to clear instruments and turn on familiar climate regulators. What receives praise as exemplary clean cockpit normally, has, however, good in the convertible.
If there were at least a little GTI jewelry. What is check seat patterns? A golf ball as shift knob? Fresh colors in the dashboard? Instead, VW served also the Extras from the Gulf. The sport seats with strong lateral support and a dual clutch transmission for 1,800 euros, which changes its seven course faster than you Hatschi can say are worth mentioning. Matching the engine range of the VW Golf Cabrio: from 105 HP (gasoline or diesel) to 210 HP is something for every requirement. All six engines have direct injection and turbocharging. Four of them can be equipped against additional payment with start stop system.
The driven 1.4 TSI version serves 160 HP, which take care of full dedication to the 1.484 kg heavy VW Golf Cabrio. In each gas impact draws the VW Golf Cabrio lightly forward, directs a willing and released masters fast curves. Only who exaggerates it this, feels like the VW good-natured slides over the front wheels. He is just not athletes, but a glider with a guarantee of fresh air. After good stock cover style he placed not under his window frame, but clearly behind driver and front passenger.
The Fund of the VW Golf convertible remains it so generously cut two adults to find a well. Either the space as storage space can be use - as with the A3 convertible are the rear seat back folded as standard, which will broaden the otherwise 250 litre large trunk.
The small tail gate is the only shortcoming of the VW Golf Cabrio. When looking in the price list, muted joy comes up against it: the new golf Cabrio starts with the sufficiently strong 1.2 TSI (105 HP) at 23.625 euros and is thus 2.325 euro under the Peugeot 308 CC. The best EOS with 122 PS petrol engine beneath it even to deliver 4,350 lethal euro. Although there will be no hard top for the Golf: amuse good EOS!
The figures speak clearly for the golf Cabrio - it opens and joins faster (whilst on the move), weighs less, is similar to spacious, fits into small parking spaces and costs almost 5,000 euro of less in the basic version. Even with equally strong TSI petrol engine (122 PS), the price on the VW EOS is still deliver 4,350 lethal euros. The disadvantages of Golf: you want to suspend his top not the winter - and it may violate every sharp object.
