About Volkswagen Golf
Probably the most sought-after of all the mid-sized hatchbacks, the Golf remains a classic. The worthy winner of the What Car? Small Family Car of the Year 2011 award, it’s got everything covered. From the spacious boot to the comfortable cabin, not only does it look great, the renowned Volkswagen design and engineering guarantees safety and a superior performance.
If you’re looking for a Golf you’ve got a great range to choose from. For family use, you can’t do much better than the versatile 5-door hatchback; its spacious interior and five-star Euro NCAP crash-test rating means it’s safe and sound for transporting the kids. For a slightly sportier look opt for the 3-door model, which is slightly cheaper. As you’d expect from Volkswagen, there’s a great range of petrol and diesel engines that not only perform but are efficient too so won’t harm the wallet too much. If you rack up the motorway miles, consider the 2.0-litre TDI diesel for an impressive return of 51 mpg. Or, if you prefer a greener option then the eco-friendly Bluemotion might appeal to you offering low emissions with no impact on performance – zero road tax is a bonus too. Fancy a hot hatch? Look no further than the distinctive Golf GTI or the powerful R32 with turbocharged engines for a more exhilarating ride.
For a little more space, take a look at the Golf Plus. It’s a slightly bigger version of the standard Golf with a higher roofline so getting in and out and loading cargo is easier making it a good choice for families. Or go large with the Golf Estate; a practical, versatile variant with a 500-litre boot space and you can tip the rear seats forward to increase this to a capacity of 1495-litres – great for bigger loads and ideal for business use. Available from September 2011, the Golf Cabriolet is back to give you the same Golf reliability and performance but in a desirable new-look soft-top format.
