"Big car = strong!"
Only biiiiiiig car fit child seat.
Only big car tow.
Only if you have a handful of brain cells.
Yeah, you absolutely need a wankpanzer to install a child seat 🤡
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.
Polos tow 1 to 1.2t. And yes I know what a fluid coupling is as well as thermodynamics.
TBF you mostly get auto golfs these days. Manuals are rare on most new cars.
