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.

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

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

    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.
