The Golf is not produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, but by FAW-Volkswagen. It is a hatchback compact family car launched in 1974. The Golf comes with various versions including the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, 1.2T, 1.4T, R-Line, GTI, and a high-performance R version. The Golf has a body length of 4199mm, width of 1786mm, height of 1479mm, and a wheelbase of 2578mm. It is equipped with a 1.4TSI engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The interior design is traditional, simple, and practical, featuring precise steering and excellent road grip.

I'm a car enthusiast and often discuss car models with friends. The Golf is not produced by Shanghai Volkswagen; Shanghai Volkswagen is now SAIC Volkswagen, and their main models include the Polo and Lavida, while the Golf is manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen. FAW-Volkswagen has been producing the Golf in China for many years, with models like the Golf GTI and Golf R-Line coming from the Foshan plant—they're fun to drive, with ample power and agile handling. I've seen many FAW-Volkswagen Golf owners in Shenzhen, and everyone agrees that the quality is stable and reliable. If you're considering buying a Golf, you should visit a FAW-Volkswagen dealership. Don’t mistake it for an SAIC Volkswagen model to avoid wasting time or getting the wrong configuration. The domestically produced Golf offers good value for money, and maintenance is convenient.

Having worked in the service station for many years, I've handled numerous Volkswagen models. The Golf is indeed not produced by Shanghai Volkswagen (SVW). SAIC Volkswagen focuses on SUVs like the Tiguan and sedans such as the Passat. The Golf belongs to FAW-Volkswagen's product lineup, manufactured in Changchun and Foshan plants, with engine options of 1.5T or 2.0T. Technically speaking, FAW-Volkswagen adopts global standards, featuring high-quality components and low failure rates. I recommend owners check the vehicle identification plate to confirm its origin when purchasing, and choose FAW-Volkswagen authorized service centers for regular maintenance to avoid mixing in SAIC Volkswagen parts. Understanding this can save considerable repair hassles and prolong your beloved car's lifespan.

As a young person, I follow automotive trends. The Golf doesn't come from Shanghai Volkswagen, but is produced by FAW-Volkswagen, the 'brother' of SAIC Volkswagen. FAW-Volkswagen has launched the 8th generation Golf, featuring fashionable design, a cool digital cockpit, and responsive driving. Compared to SAIC Volkswagen's Polo, the Golf offers larger dimensions and better performance. To buy one, you need to visit a FAW-Volkswagen dealership. After a weekend test drive, I found it offers agile handling, making it suitable for urban commuting, and it holds its value well in the used car market.

How to Deal with Fogging on the Outside of the Windshield When Using Car Air Conditioning?

Enable the front windshield defrosting function and the rear windshield heating function. If fogging occurs on the side windows, slightly opening the windows can quickly remove the fog. Then, set the fan speed to maximum, turn on the A/C switch, and adjust the temperature to the lowest setting. The fog on the windshield will disappear shortly. Increasing air convection can reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, thereby weakening the conditions for fog formation. When using, simply spray it evenly on the glass surface and wipe it clean with a dry towel.
