Buy New Volkswagen Golf at discounted prices from franchised Volkswagen dealerships

The VW Golf GTI could be considered good value for money when looked at as a fast all-rounder. VW's above average build quality, positive image and sound residuals make the car’s asking price look quite reasonable. Insurance rates will be fairly high, and the car is thirsty when driven hard.

The Volkswagen Golf is capable of transporting a small family with plenty of head, leg and elbow room to satisfy most people. The VW's glovebox and door pockets still prove useful for drinks, maps and mobile phones. As you'd expect, the car's rear seat splits and folds to create additional cargo space.

The Volkswagen Golf has a practical, well thought-out cabin, and the VW Golf's instruments are easy to use and read. The cars controls boast an average feel, but the car’s sporty looking sterring wheel gives the cabin an extra nice feel.

The VW Golf GTI handles road imperfections quite well. The car delivers a noticeably firm ride, but not so firm that it is uncomfortable. The car's front seats are heavily bolstered to provide extra lateral support, which means that larger passengers might feel less comfortable on longer trips, but most passengers should find them very comfortable. Unless the engine is being pushed to full potential then noise levels are successfully suppressed.

The car provides good access and is easy to egress as well. The car’s doors open widely and make access a straight forward affair. The three-door variant provides better access for front seat passengers, while rear access is more restricted and requires passengers to climb over the folded front seats. Access to the car’s loadspace is also good.

Parking the VW Golf is fairly simple. The car provides a lofty driving position, and the steering is light at low speeds making it easy to maneuver and park. Rear visibility is somewhat limited, and rear parking sensors off of the options list may be a good investment.
