Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

    I also started to see more of these in urban areas of europe. Not a huge amount but still recognizable. I dont get why one would buy something like this. You wont even be able to find a proper parking spot for these.

      100% they are buying these to “protest” the “green agenda” or some bullshit like that.

        That’s not very strong in EU, it’s mostly for ego, people buy cars that they think look like the image they want to display.

            In which EU country is there a notable percentage of people buying big cars to protest the green agenda? Never heard of it in France. I do know a lot of people who buy cars for the image and the social status however.

          No, it tows and fits a rear facing seat comfortably. Not sure what’s so complicated here.

              You need more than a polo to be comfortable and some folk also need to tow 🤷‍♂️

            Why would the Golf not tow? This isn’t America where everything is automatic and the transmission would overheat when applying torque.

              TBF you mostly get auto golfs these days. Manuals are rare on most new cars.

              That’s a Polo, not a Golf and show me a Golf (let alone a Polo!) towing over 5k lbs and I’ll show you an idiot with a death wish.

              Oh and again, you don’t know anything about car with your “manual vs automatic” bullshit.

                A car frame is not rated for more than 1500lbs. You can’t tow anything but the smallest of trailers . Brake overheating as well as other issues can make that dangerous.
