Summary****-

  • Supremely refined, upmarket interior, good choice of efficient engines, low-emission Bluemotion model available
  • Not particularly striking to look at, expensive compared to similarly equipped alternatives

As the old adage goes, 'if it isn't broke, don't fix it,' and that's certainly the path Volkswagen has followed with the latest Golf. It's technically an all-new model but shares much with the car it replaces - that's no bad thing however as the previous generation Golf was a superb all rounder. The latest car is even better with a more upmarket interior, impressive refinement and a great range of efficient engines that also offer good performance. A Bluemotion model is available which uses a 1.6-litre diesel engine and emits just 99g/km of CO2 - making it free to tax. In terms of styling the Golf is hardly revolutionary, but on the move it feels even more solid and well built than before thanks to excellent noise insulation. It's not quite as enjoyable to drive as a Ford Focus but the Golf leads the way for sophistication in the small hatchback market.
