\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What is it?<\/strong>
\nNow the sixth generation the Golf is one of the best cars in its class and is unbeatable in GTI guise.<\/p>\n

What is it like inside?<\/strong>
\nIt has a very practical and compact interior with all the instruments to hand and an excellent dash and dials. Seating is comfortable as are head and legroom and there is a decent boot. Not short on the extras and safety is also to the fore.<\/p>\n

What is it like to drive?<\/strong>
\nOn the road the Golf is agile, smooth, it grips corners, there is no oversteer and with a very pronounced steering it is a delight to drive. The GTI is a real road stripper, it absolutely devours the surface with that real engine growl when changing gears.<\/p>\n

What is it likely to cost?
\n<\/strong>Depending on the engine fuel consumption ranges from 3.8 – 5.7 litres per 100 km. Prices start from \u20ac19,995 and go up to \u20ac31,260<\/p>\n

Overall<\/strong>
\nOne of the most popular cars on the roads and deservedly so it is refined, drives beautifully and oozes quality<\/p>\n
