I am me, the unique Golf GTI, faith, for sport, nothing else!

Speaking of Volkswagen, the first thing that flashes in my mind is not the Jetta Santana that dominated the market at that time, nor is it the Phaeton that is so low-key and luxurious that it claims to pay 300,000 yuan for building one, but They are a group of people... They have very different personalities, but they can't extricate themselves for the same brand; they don't know each other, but they can fight together for a contradiction... They are the so-called "Shenqi Party"! Volkswagen has always been a mysterious brand to me. In the mouths of the Shenche Party, this car is omnipotent and can be said to be a god; in the mouths of "other parties", the name of the Shenche Party has become the Shenche Dog... As As a "non-partisan", I have the opportunity to test drive this seventh-generation Golf GTI today. I will try my best to feel it with my heart, and then give an evaluation without any bias: good is good, bad is bad. Some people say that Volkswagen only has one car called the Golf. If you add a butt, it will be a Sagitar, if it is shortened, it will be a Polo, if it is flattened, it will be a Scirocco, and if it is rounded, it will be a Beetle... In fact, the meaning of this statement is undoubtedly to satirize the cookie-cutter appearance. Indeed, especially since 2010, the so-called Bauhaus design style has become the same as the front face of Volkswagen, and I can no longer tell who is Magotan and who is Passat... But how does a brand follow their design route? This is not something we and other ordinary people can decide~ Speaking of the 7th generation GTI alone, compared with its parents, the changes in appearance are remarkable. In addition to the everlasting GTI logo on the grille, the front face of the 7th generation GTI has changed the two red lines on the grille from the upper and lower to one, and runs through the grille and the inside of the lamp cavity. This makes the front face appear wider and more elegant. fierce. However, I feel that the angular shape of the headlights is not as good as the relatively rounded designs of the fifth and sixth generations. However, the double U-shaped LED wick no longer looks cute. It is a steel cannon. It should have murderous intent! The new Tiguan, the new Touareg, the new Langxing...many new Volkswagen models have changed their fog lights to this...let me call it a blade style for now! This is what I particularly like. It feels as sharp as a blade, as if it is cutting through the air. It gives me a sense of speed! The fender is no longer a bare piece, but has a GTI logo with a knife tip pointing forward, which matches the fog light slot very well. It is said that there should be something on the fenders a long time ago. Don’t all major manufacturers do this... Although the wheels of the 7th generation GTI still have the classic tomahawk shape, they are still obviously different from those of the 6th generation. In addition to the size. From 17 inches to 18 inches, the so-called "Tomahawk" no longer has two pieces at both ends, but one side is flat and the other side is pointed. When you open the door, the first thing you see is the flat-bottomed steering wheel. The words GTI seem to tell everyone sitting in the cab: Be careful, I have a bad temper! But having a bad temper doesn't necessarily mean you're a rough person. From the steering wheel to the door panels, the bright red stitching is arranged in an orderly manner, giving it a German feel. Although it is only an original sports seat and not a bucket seat made by a professional brand, it still makes me feel a strong sense of wrapping. Even though I am on the thin side, the solid wings of the seat gave me a lot of confidence during subsequent mountain road driving. Speaking of which, there is another feature that is unique to Volkswagen, and that is the high bulge on the rear floor. Before the car is started, it always gives people the illusion that they are about to drive a rear-wheel drive car... This is a 6P... 6P... 6P... As an A-class hatchback, I don't have enough rear space for it. Having too much hope. But I have always heard from friends that the golf ball looks small, but its chamber is quite big. After sitting in it, I found out that they didn't lie to me... It's just that the actual feeling of sitting on this seat is the same as its appearance, which is hard... However, whether it is the appearance, interior style, or sitting comfort, it is not. What I care about is not the focus of this GTI. Take a look at the dashboard with a base price of 280 and you will understand that if you want to know what this car is like, you have to start running it! What’s even more interesting is that in the vehicle settings menu, I saw an option called “Internal Engine Sound”, which is probably a function similar to sound compensation.

In short, when it is set to sport, you will find a very strange phenomenon: the sound inside the car is louder than outside the car when refueling... Officially on the road! Thanks to the displacement of 2.0 and the weight of 1.4 tons, the GTI didn't feel sluggish at all when it just started, and the DQ380 seven-wet dual-clutch gearbox with a torque of 420 Nm also made it easy to start off when accelerating hard. There is no jitter at all. When the speed exceeds 1500 rpm, you can obviously feel the continuous pushing feeling, but it is not as sudden as the 1.4T engine, and the sense of intervention is not very obvious. If you listen carefully, you can still distinguish the faint scream of the turbine in the rumbling exhaust sound. The advantages and disadvantages of this dual-clutch gearbox are very obvious. In automatic mode, whether it is rapid acceleration or slow driving, the gearbox downshifts and upshifts very actively, which feels very smart. But in manual mode, there will be a delay of nearly 1 second when downshifting. If you step on the accelerator at this second, then there will be a very obvious sense of frustration, and the car will make a "squeak" sound. Moving forward, it makes people feel that this guy's reflex arc is really long... When we reach the top of the mountain, there is a parking lot. We have fun here, but due to the ASR traction control system, even if you press the accelerator hard, the car is slow. The ground squirms. Turning off the ASR and ESP, the front wheels turn on the unlimited snow plowing mode... At the same time, the design of the electronic handbrake makes it difficult for us to make a tail-drift... Maybe the four-wheel drive Golf R will feel better! When going down the mountain, my buddy who was traveling with me came to experience it. According to him, even though he was careful, there was a corner where the rear wheel on one side hit a piece of ice. At that time, he felt a small lateral movement at the rear of the car, and then it seemed like a big hand was stabilizing the rear of the car. No surprise... On the way home, when I turned on the music, Dynaudio's speakers did a relatively good job with vocals~ but when it came to bass, it was still confused with the rumbling exhaust sound in the car. Maybe this is the so-called faith. You can do anything for sports... If you compare a car to an adult, the GTI must be a young man who has just been married and wants to take care of his family, but he can't take it back. It is indeed a bit difficult to rely solely on him to take care of food, daily life, and live a careful life. But every car has its own group positioning, just like everyone has a place to belong to in the end. Regardless of whether you are a girl or a boy, if you are not willing to accept the trivial life of daily necessities and do not want to indulge in mediocre days, GTI should be a good choice!
