VW Polo 1.2 TSI 5dr (2009) CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 11 May 2009 09:26

The new Volkswagen Polo could be one of two things: A) a shrunken Golf, which despite hardly changing from Mk5 to Mk6, still leads the mid-sized hatchback class as middle England’s favourite runabout. Or B) nothing more than a reskinned Seat Ibiza, which although well built, is hardly dynamically inspiring. Now we’ve driven the new VW Polo (2009), we can ...

VW Golf GTI Mk6 (2009) new CAR review

Ben Barry, 07 April 2009 10:39

The old Mk5 GTI might have had its thunder stolen by the Focus RS, Megane R26R and perhaps even the Civic Type R, but it was still the best all-round hot hatch you could buy when it recently went off sale. And that – combined with the fact that the new Mk6 is essentially a very thoroughly facelifted Mk5 – ...

VW Touareg Hybrid (2009) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 12 February 2009 10:40

We’ve just driven the new Porsche Panamera. And the 2010 Porsche Cayenne. And the new Volkswagen Touareg. Well, we’ve driven one of the engines they’ll all share, at least. This current model Touareg is fitted with the new hybrid powertrain VW has developed with Porsche for all these new cars, and which Audi will use in a slightly modified form ...

VW Sharan Bluemotion/Seat Alhambra Ecomotive (2009) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 01 January 2009 09:00

It’s taken Volkswagen and Seat a while to trickle down their respective environment-focused Bluemotion and Ecomotive badges to their large MPVs, the Sharan and Alhambra. That tells you all you need to know about the pecking order at VAG. The truth is that in their current guise these are two cars approaching the automotive equivalent of the old folks’ home. ...

VW Golf 2.0 TDI 140 DSG (2009) CAR review

2.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 23 September 2008 09:00

Despite the residue of hundreds of kilted Scottish football supporters who were far too sloshed to find the airport after the World Cup qualifying match – and, for that matter, probably still are – Reykjavik is an outstanding city from which to launch a car. Compared to anything else on offer on the planet, the surrounding scenery is absolutely brand spanking new ...

VW Golf 1.4 TSI (2009) CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 08 September 2008 12:26

This is the first drive of VW’s new-but-same-again Mk6 Golf, a car brought forward from 2010 to 2008 to counteract slow sales and a costly and lengthy build process. But with only mildly revised looks inside and out, can the new VW Golf match the Ford Focus and Renault’s forthcoming Megane? Read on for our verdict on the Golf, and ...

VW Touareg R50 (2008) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 08 August 2008 00:00

A bit of a conundrum, this. How can a 2.6-tonne 4x4 put the Sport back into SUV? Volkswagen reckons the R50 Touareg is the answer – a tweaked-up version of its luxury 4x4. Except here, the emphasis is firmly on sporting luxury rather than pampering outright. It's telling they've picked the diesel version for the range-topper. The R50 is based ...

VW Scirocco GT (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 16 June 2008 10:00

Volkswagen has finally launched its new Scirocco coupe and CAR has tested the first production versions. Anthony ffrench-Constant reviews the new Scirocco and wonders why it has taken VW so long to get around to a Mk3… Perhaps VW has simply been too busy frantically filling every other market segment it could identify, including some its customers clearly failed to. ...

VW Passat R36 (2008) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 29 May 2008 11:09

This is Volkswagen’s most powerful production Passat yet - the new R36, a car that trumps the last generation’s unloved W8 in the power stakes. Big deal, you might think, but bear with us. For £30,990 you get a 3.6-litre V6 churning out 295bhp and 258lb ft, four-wheel drive versatility and subtly imposing styling. What sets the VW Passat R36 apart visually? ...

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI (2008) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 19 May 2008 12:16

The Volkswagen Phaeton is overshadowed by the Audi A8 as VAG’s luxury car and, for some, that could be its allure. If you’re interested in space and comfort more than style and glamour, the Volkswagen Phaeton would save you nearly £8000. So tell me, is the Volkswagen Phaeton as dull as it looks? Fair enough, it’s not going to set ...
