Volkswagen Golf Hatchback (04-08) - Review Review by David Ross on 30 May 2006 Last Updated: 28 Sep 2009 4 With an excellent drive, roomy interior and a five-star Euro NCAP crash-test rating, the Volkswagen Golf is one of the best hatchbacks around. It's improved in every area over the car it replaced - it can carry four adults in comfort, is enjoyable and comfortable on the road and has most of the equipment you'll ever need.

But strong build quality and robust interiors mean that even after several thousand miles a Golf will still be in good condition. The standard 1.4-litre engine with 75bhp is best avoided unless you're just pottering around town. Instead go for a 1.6 FSI or a 1.4 TSI in Match trim.

The Golf is considered to be a cut-above hatches like the Focus and Astra and attracts a more aspirational buyer so options like sat nav and leather upholstery will make your car more marketable to them. The GT model, which looks like a GTI but is not as expensive to run, is also popular.
