At Cars.co.za, we pride ourselves on the fact that our videos are the go-to source for South African motoring enthusiasts, but have you ever wondered which ones have qualified as the most-loved?
This past month, this honour went to our video review of the VW Golf 1.4TSI, which was published on 8 May and received a mind-boggling 104,497 views!
For years, the VW Golf in its many incarnations has enjoyed cult status among South Africans, not just for its GTI and R performance models, but also for its everyday practicality, comfort and cheeky understated class.
In this video Cars.co.za’s one and only grand meister of all things automotive, Ciro De Siena, attempts to answer the following question – Is the TSI the new sweet spot for Msanzi motorists?
In this much-viewed video, we took a long hard look at the new Volkswagen Golf 8.5 TSI, which was specifically designed to bring premium features to a broader range of drivers. From design tweaks to serious tech upgrades and surprising driveability, this isn’t just a facelift, it is a reintroduction of the “people’s Golf”.
With the GTI and R models delayed, and the local markets flooded with crossovers, this new TSI-powered Golf 8.5 offers a compelling alternative.
You are invited to come along with De Siena on another adrenalin-inducing adventure as he scrutinises everything from the performance, boot and seats to the transmission and pricing. Have a look here:
