Both of them are used to transport mostly a single person at a time. Even the small one is too big.

But you forgot that the truck can be used to haul 4 pieces of lumber twice a year!
The golf will also get farther with the same amount of fuel. Way farther.
I'd wager a sizeable number of half-ton pickup trucks are used solely as people movers, i.e. the bed and towing capabilities aren't utilized. In many countries, trade workers more than manage with light vehicles, like kei trucks in Japan, so I think they'd work for the average weekend warrior too.
What always gets me is how shitty pick-ups are at transporting things.
headlights shouldn't be allowed that high on road vehicles, blinding menace on wheels.
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.
Yes. Both cars fit the same amount of people but one driver is carrying a smaller package.
I think the most absurd is, that even former basic cars like the Polo get bigger and bigger. Modern Polos seem to take up more space than a gen. 1, 2, or even 3 Golf - but with barely more space inside.
Effects are, they take up more public space when curb parking, perversely hindering their brothers to get through. Some just barely fit single garages built in the 50ies, totally inconveniencing the driver trying to get out. One'd thing people buying these would see these self created problems, but apparently not.
Ok but a lot of that space is taken up by crumple zones and the like, things that make far fewer people die. Euro NCAP legislation drives a lot of the change you are seeing, and a lot of it for the better.
I'm seeing these in London now. Why are we importing the absolute worst of US transportation fucks ups?
Can you store up to 10 corpses on that Polo?
It seems like a lot of people here don't understand that circumstances might be different in different places. This post itself assumes the only reason is to transport people, but the truck can do more than that.
If I lived in a rural place and needed something that could tow, transport, and go over tougher terrain, I could see the usefulness of having a truck around. Not everything is in a comfy city where everything is within a couple miles.
Now where I currently live, I'd never dream of getting a truck like that. So much hassle and the roads are too small. But I could see it being useful for someone else.
The truck still doesn't need to be that big. Trucks have gotten absolutely massive with no appreciable difference in bed size. Yes yes, of course, bigger truck = more towing and load capacity, but honestly there's got to be a reasonable limit where something becomes a commercial vehicle, and the limit needs to be much lower than the current standard.
Get the Ordnungsamt involved, it's illegal to park like that. It's too heavy and big to try to park like a car.
I see those pick-ups all the time and almost never are they properly parked. Just like in the picture lmao.
In most of the EU, you'll get a hefty fine for parking on the pavement. Take a picture wirh the license number and report anonymously.
However, only a single car possesses the ability to signal your fellow drivers about the astonishingly delicate nature of your masculinity.
It's about bumper height more than anything else
What do you mean? They've specifically designed it so that when it ruptures all of your internal organs you don't have to suffer through living any longer
Depens if they are dead or alive. That truck could hold a lot or corpses.
Polo but yeah. The size difference is crazy. Who actually needs such a vehicle?
Well, not the same amount of people. The truck can only carry the same number of people, but only guys with small dicks.
