VW Golf GTI Edition 35 (2011) CAR review

VW Golf GTI Edition 35 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 13 July 2011 09:00

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 Passat 2.0 TDI 170 Sport (2010) review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Volkswagen says the new 2011 Passat takes… Actually, can I just interrupt you there to say the Passat Mk7 isn't new, it’s a bloody facelift. New lights, new grille, Bob ist ihr onkel. Okay, so the new, seventh-gen VW Passat does use the same platform as the 2006 car, but Volkswagen claims that every panel is new. But it manages to look almost ...

VW Golf Blue-e-motion (2013) CAR review

VW Golf Blue-e-motion (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 19 August 2010 09:36

A VW Golf Blue-e-motion? Fuelled by kangaroo poo, is it? No, ya great galah, it’s powered by electricity. The Golf Blue-e-motion is a prototype for the Nissan Leaf rival you’ll be able to buy from Volkswagen dealers in 2013. CAR drove the electric Golf in the world's biggest e-rally for a feature in the new Green CAR, a free 32-page supplement ...

VW Golf R (2010) first drive CAR review

VW Golf R (2010) first drive CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 15 February 2010 09:41

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 Bluemotion 1.4 TDi (2007) CAR review

VW Polo Bluemotion 1.4 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 03 June 2007 02:35

If 4Motion means four-wheel drive, what’s this Bluemotion all about? Nothing to do with four-wheel drive - or going fast. It’s Volkswagen’s ecological brand applied to the most efficient and economical models in each range, so probably should have been called Greenmotion. A Passat Bluemotion was unveiled at the Geneva show and other versions will follow. So how green, sorry, ...

VW Golf GTi Edition 30 (2006) CAR review

VW Golf GTi Edition 30 (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 22 December 2006 11:10

Has it really been 30 years since the original hot Golf first arrived? Actually the first 1.6-litre four-speed GTi went on sale in Germany in 1976 so the German market got its hands on this anniversary model last year. But Brits had to wait until 1977 for the first imports and even they were left hookers – right-hand drive didn’t ...
