Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TSI long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 19 May 2008 11:00

Long-term test update - 19 May 2008 Got an email from Andreas Loizias in Cyprus recently. He couldn’t believe the GT cost just £1500 less than the Golf GTI in Britain. In Cyprus the difference is nearer to £7k, apparently. My biggest stumbling block with the GT is just how closely aligned its price is to the GTI's. Imagine if ...

VW Golf 1.4 TSI 7spd DSG CAR review

Anonymous, 28 January 2008 16:26

Those lamps have been reshaped to resemble those of the Eos two-seater convertible, and they’re now bi-xenons and adapt to the corners of the road as you turn the steering wheel. The interior ...

VW Eos 2.0T CAR review

Anonymous, 31 July 2006 10:36

A drop top VW - how desirable. I take it the people's convertible is back? Yes and no. True, the Eos is from the people's car maker and it effectively replaces the old Golf cabriolet. But that was a no frills soft top, so archaic it needed a big basket handle over the passenger compartment, to boost rigidity and hold up ...
