VOLKSWAGEN GOLF HATCHBACK
Review Review vehicle: Volkswagen Golf SE 1.4 TSI 122PS 5dr
The VW Golf has been with us for an astonishing 35 years from 1974 with the launch of the original MkI to now with introduction of Golf MkVI. And while the family resemblance is close with the outgoing model, the new Golf majors on refinement and safety features. There are four petrol engines in the current range: 1.4-litre 80PS; 1.6-litre 102PS; 1.4-litre TSI 122PS; 1.4-litre 160PS. This test is the 122PS model. It has a lightweight engine and a turbocharger to boost performance.
What's hot
It's a Golf. We all need dependability in uncertain times
Engine is a gem - likes to rev but also has plenty of low-down power
Supple suspension smooths out road surface bumps and thumps
Electro-mechanical power steering provides graded assistance...
...but wonderfully accurate on the move
Brakes provide solid and secure stopping power...
...assisted by Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) for emergency stops
Simple and easy to use CD/radio controls
Company car tax is low: 16% tax banding
And there's over 45mpg fuel economy
Beautiful attention to detail throughout
Bountiful spec includes air con, anti-skid ESP and alloys
What's not
It's a Golf not easy to see what's new from the outside
High boot lip makes dragging boxes or bags out of boot awkward
Budget for an additional 1000 to get metallic paint...
...leather steering wheel and gearknob, plus parking sensors
