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

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 SE 1.4 TSI Estate (2010) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 06 April 2010 15:29

Volkswagen hasn’t bothered to wreak the same transformation with the new Golf Estate as it did with the Golf hatchback, in the progression from Mk5 to Mk6. There are new engines, a new facia and a new nose, but the chassis and structure are pretty much left alone. So, should we feel cheated, or is a revamped old-shaped Golf estate ...

VW Golf R (2010) first drive CAR review

3.5

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 Golf Bluemotion 1.6 TDI (2010) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 01 February 2010 15:48

Eco-friendly cars are often grim, hair-shirted things that you suffer as penance for your emissions, even though they pump out less CO2 than their standard brethren. But the new VW Golf Bluemotion is none of that. It doesn’t look funny (it runs alloys and a lowered ride height), it’s not made of egg cartons inside (splash out £120 on leather ...

VW Golf 1.6 TDI Bluemotion (2009) CAR review

Gavin Green, 31 October 2009 20:21

While Toyota grabs the eco high ground with its Prius, Europe’s makers are also trying to elevate themselves to the sunny green uplands with a range of hybrid-rivalling misers. From Econetic Fords to Efficient Dynamics BMWs; from Blue Efficiency Benzes to Ecoflex Vauxhalls; from Ecomotive Seats to Bluemotion Volkswagens. They’re all at, concocting increasingly daft model names to levitate their ...

VW Golf GTD (2009) CAR review

2.5

Colin Overland, 01 July 2009 10:33

There are plenty of reasons for wanting a VW Golf, and they’re the same reasons that generally applied to all five previous generations. It’s a car that distils everything VW knows about providing do-everything motoring in a reasonably compact, affordable-ish package. If you buy into the Golf idea, and you want it badged VW rather than Skoda, Audi, Seat or ...

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 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 Golf 1.4 TSI 7spd DSG (2008) CAR review

Jesse Crosse, 28 January 2008 16:26

If you subscribe to the theory that more is better, then you’ll like this. VW has just announced the latest version of its groundbreaking DSG dual-clutch gearbox with seven gears instead of six. It’s designed for smaller engine cars of up to 168bhp and 184lb ft torque, leaving the original six-speed launched in 2003 for the heftier end of the ...
