I went to a Volkswagen dealer to evaluate my Golf.

Go to VW Dealer

Recently, a new Volkswagen sales representative wrote to my husband, "Your Golf 7 is about to be inspected, so before that, would you be willing to let us just assess it?I had received several calls from people saying "I'm sorry.

Our Golf will be three years old this August when it is due for inspection, and when we received the call, we had no intention of parting with the Golf. When I told the person in charge to that effect, he said, "I'm sorry.Still, that's fine, we'd love to have you!Since it was called "the best of the best," the family decided to go to a Volkswagen dealership.

VW-Golf 7.5

Arriving at the Volkswagen dealership and entering, I saw a bright white current Golf (7.5) in front of me.

It is a model after the minor change of the Golf Mk7, but there is not much difference in appearance compared to our Golf Mk7. By the way, the photo below is my Golf.

There is not that much difference in the exterior, but if you look inside the car, you will see that the gauges are digital and the

There were some differences, such as a new center screen. However, the rest of the system is almost the same, with the "That's a familiar Golf interior.I was under the impression that the

This is what the back seat looks like.

Before I got in the Golf, I'd only seen the exterior and thought, "The back seat of a Golf looks pretty small.I thought it would be a bit of a "no-frills" seat, but when I actually sat down, I found it to be quite comfortable.

As I was staring at my golf game like that, the salesman said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that.Golf 7.5, how do you like it?She said, "But my husband, who is a

Hmmm...but I have no complaints about my current Golf 7, in fact, I'm more than satisfied with it, so I won't be replacing it with a 7.5.... I'm a little curious to see what the Golf 8 will be like when it comes out...

He replied. Indeed, I have no complaints about my current Golf, and it is hard to find such a comprehensively balanced and cost-effective car. There were also other Golf Variant special editions in the store, such as the "Tech Editionwas also decorated. This navy blue color is beautiful.

Also, there is a Golf Touran. It looks like a minivan, but with an overall height of 1670 mm, it is said to be shorter than a Japanese minivan.

Also, I've taken the liberty of writing "When my daughter gets her driver's license, I want her to drive a car like this first...wI'm thinking, "POLO.

It's cute, it performs well, it's stylish, and I like this body color. I once drove a loaner POLO, and I was like, "Very nice car.But my husband said, "I felt likeThe only thing I miss about the new model is that it is a handbrake, not an electric parking brake, so it doesn't automatically stop when in traffic with ACC.He said.

VW-Tiguan

Next, I was allowed to look at a Tiguan, which I had been a little curious about for some time.

No. 1 selling compact SUV in its home country of Germany(2017)It is a clean diesel vehicle with a The store's display car is a "Tiguan TDI 4MOTION R-LineIt was an advanced sporty model called

The Tiguan looks large in this way, but its body size is ".Overall length: 4500mm, overall width: 1860, overall height: 1675mmIt's a little bit bigger than the Golf 7, which has an overall width of 1800mm. It is larger than the Golf 7, which has an overall width of 1,800 mm, but the Porsche Macan has an overall width of 1,923 mm, so it must be more compact and maneuverable than that.

The back seat of the Tiguan didn't feel particularly cramped when my husband rode in it.The high ceilings made it feel rather very spacious.This would be easy to travel for long periods of time.

In addition, the Tiguan's rear seat can slide back and forth and be adjusted. The sales person again told me that "Tiguan, what do you think?''But my husband was told that he had to

It's cool and I like it, but the fact that it's a diesel... or something.

He said. Well, my current Golf is too good and my whole family can drive it without any problem and it can carry luggage, so I don't dare to switch to Tiguan as an option....

What is the valuation of the Golf 7?

As I was looking at the cars on display, I had completely forgotten the purpose of my visit to the store that day, but the salesman told me that he hadGolf assessment completed.He called out to me, "I'm sorry.

Well...I was here today to assess the Golf 7 w

The results are interesting.Trade-in on a new car purchase is about 40% of a new car.He said, "I'll be there. I see...that's what a Golf is like. The car itself is great, so I think it deserves more recognition.

The Golf is a very nice car, but I hear that resale is not good in the general used car market, so the Golf may be a good deal if you are going to drive it for a long time or replace it with a new VW car. If I were to buy one, I guess it would be more okey to buy a used, certified pre-owned car or something...

To my surprise, a certain event happened that afternoon, and I concluded to let go of this Golf 7. I will write about it in another article.

     Hi Mina, it's been a while. shimoyannjp.

     It's been a while since I've commented, but I've been CHECKING every day for new articles (even on days when there were no updates...). I always check for new articles every day (even when there was no update).

     Before I read the story of this GOLF appraisal, I was prepared to say, "Oh yeah, if a BMW transmission car is coming, I'll only drive a transmission car. I see.
     I don't think so when I open PAGE, but when I read it to the end, I still wonder if there is a continuation like that...

     (^^)

     I have actually been thinking a bit seriously about whether or not to purchase a new one.

     Mission E.

     I paid my car tax early the other day, My996 is a 2000. My996 is a 2000 model and is 19 years old, but I was given a kind of 15% additional measure, and the tax was 667 The amount was 667,000 yen. I knew from the bookmark attached to the payment slip that the ECO car tax credit is a big deal. I guess the Mission E (Taikan) is still eligible for the tax break.

     I heard that the performance of the car is typical of Porsche. I might buy one.

      It's been a very long time!
      And thank you so much for checking in every day, even when we don't update!
      (Lately, even on days when I don't update, I get a spike in traffic, but it may be thanks to shimoyannjp! LOL)

      >PAGE opens, it doesn't seem so, but when I read to the end, I still wonder if there's a continuation like that...
      As you may have guessed, the BMW is being delivered to replace the Golf.
      We had been golfing everywhere we couldn't get to in the Panamera, so the loss of that golfing was a big blow to our retreat and to our escape.
      We'll make it so you'll be forced to drive a manual transmission!

      >Mission E.
      WOW!!! I thought it was coming out around September!
      Wow... !!!! That's great !!!! I would love to introduce it in Porsche Owner's File when you purchase it.
      Many people are curious about it, but they wonder about the early models, or whether they can really handle the Japanese charging environment.
      I'm sure we're all curious about this part, so if you do decide to buy it, please let me know!

    Hello Mina.

    I can't sleep wondering how I got off golf lol.

    The mechatronics problems that happened to our Golf were basically no other way than to replace the assembly, and in fact, without a warranty, the problems were in the moderately serious category of about 800,000~.
    Actually, my brother was driving the last model of Golf 6, but last month, just before the 100,000 km mark, he had transmission trouble and needed to replace the DSG altogether. He switched to a Scandinavian manufacturer.

    The dry DSG (ask your husband. lol) is quite difficult to find in some structures. .........

    In that sense, it might be wise in a sense to let go of the Golf 8 at this time when it is still priced before it even lands on the market.
    We too are in the process of selecting a foot guruma for the season, saying it's my oldest son's first car, lol.

    There may be nothing more unreliable than a car enthusiast's desire to drive all the time (^. ^)

    I look forward to hearing your progress report!

      It's been a while!

      >I can't sleep wondering how I got off golf lol.
      Sorry (laughs) You may already know this because I wrote about it in a later article, but I had to switch to a BMW 3 series (MT).
      But if I hadn't thought, "I'll buy myself a MT!" I think the Golf would have remained a member of my family for a long time.

      It is a really well-made car and I have no complaints.

      >Actually, my brother was driving the last model of Golf 6, but last month, just before 100,000 km, he had transmission trouble and had to replace the entire DSG. He switched to a Scandinavian manufacturer.
      Wow, you're right! I wonder if there will be problems after 100,000 km or so.

      >We are also in the process of selecting a foot guruma for our oldest son's first car, lol.
      It's a very fun time of year to make selections. It's so imaginative and exciting!
      My family will be parting with our Golf for a while, but I would like to drive a Golf GTI or Golf R someday.
