Car reviews

Perhaps one of the trickiest cars ever for Volkswagen's marketing team, as it's neither hatchback or MPV. It's slightly roomier than the already spacious standard MKV Golf, yet doesn't have the versatility or seven seats of the Touran MPV. However, the Golf Plus is a well-rounded product offering clear space advantages over the standard car, a similar engine line-up as well as features not yet available on the Golf as of June 2005. Attractive, good to drive and well-finished inside, the Golf Plus is expected to account for almost one quarter of Golf sales in the UK during a full year, so VW thinks enough people can be persuaded that the Golf Plus is the answer to their flexibility needs.
