VW Golf GTI 35 (2012) CAR review

VW Golf GTI 35 (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

‘JESUS CHRIST… WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING?’ yelled the missus as we gleefully fled the gloriously under-briefed baby sitter the other evening… Mea culpa; the last time I drove the VW Golf GTI 35 was in hot pursuit of Ben P on our performance hatch group test in northern Welsh Wales and, momentarily undeterred by the olfactory tsunami ...

This is the huge Volkswagen Group’s smallest hot hatch, the VW Up GT. First unveiled as a concept car at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show, CAR has just driven a prototype version of the 108bhp baby GTI. Click here for more news and details of the regular Volkswagen Up. How does a VW Up become a VW Up GT? At the moment ...

VW Golf GTI Edition 35 (2011) CAR review

VW Golf GTI Edition 35 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

The Edition 35 is Volkswagen’s way of celebrating 35 years of the Golf GTi – it wasn’t the first hot hatch, but it was the first that actually mattered. But as anniversary presents go, is it a diamond ring, or does it feel more like a bunch of garage flowers? Wow, the VW Golf 35! It looks…exactly the same as ...

VW Golf R (2010) first drive CAR review

VW Golf R (2010) first drive CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

After reinventing the hot hatch as a V6 nearly 20 years ago, Volkswagen has ditched the concept and returned to its four pot roots. But is the new 2010 VW Golf R different enough from a GTi to justify a £30k price? So what was wrong with the old VW Golf R32? Not much, at least in terms of the ...

VW Polo 1.2 TDI Bluemotion (2010) CAR review

VW Polo 1.2 TDI Bluemotion (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Europe’s greenest car will be blue. Volkswagen’s Polo Bluemotion, which goes on sale in May 2010, will exhale just 87g of carbon dioxide for every kilometre you drive, and return up to 85.6mpg. That’s cleaner than the Pope’s freshly laundered robes,  and makes the saintly Toyota Prius and Honda Insight hybrids – both the wrong side of 100g/km – look ...

VW Golf GTI Mk6 (2009) new CAR review

VW Golf GTI Mk6 (2009) new CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 – ...
