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!

    Cool, how much can the Polo fit in the back? How much can it tow? What’s it’s off road capabilities?

    Whether people actually use those capabilities is a different question, but these vehicles are in no way equal.

      Most SUVs are useless off road and even the good ones aren’t always necessary. Peugeot has proven it back in the late 60s and early 70s with its 504. It wasn’t an SUV, it was an estate, and the only car that could drive in the Sahara.

      Most modern SUVs would break off their axles during off roading, because they’re cheaply made pieces of shit made for people who know nothing about driving. And then there’s bullshit cross-overs like Toyota C-HR that are front wheel drive. That’s right, they’re making rugged-looking tiny ‘off-roaders’ that are as good off road as your front wheel drive VW Polo. Possibly even worse due to shit build quality.
