Extended chrome detailing and elongated headlights give a wider look to the front end while full LED taillights are now standard across all models. Of course, the GTi version has retained its iconic red stripe on the grille.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about the interior? \u00a0<\/strong>The focal point of the dashboard in the models tested was the Discover Navigation Pro radio option which comes with a 9.2\u201d screen and features gesture control along with a large range of apps and services. The seats were comfortable and there\u2019s plenty of legroom for both front and rear passengers. The interior is a little dull but practical and good quality materials are used throughout.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17022\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/new_golf_main2_2017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17022\" class=\"wp-image-17022 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/new_golf_main2_2017.jpg\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/new_golf_main2_2017.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/new_golf_main2_2017-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/new_golf_main2_2017-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/new_golf_main2_2017-321x214.jpg 321w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/new_golf_main2_2017-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17022\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The iconic Volkswagen Golf has been around since 1974<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>And\u00a0on the road? \u00a0<\/strong>Behind the wheel it\u2019s easy to see why the Golf has been such a success for VW. On the road it feels extremely solid and well built. If you\u2019re looking for excitement the 4 motion Golf R offers 310bhp and with its subtle styling fades into traffic, that is until you get an open stretch of road. Let off the accelerator and some subtle popping will remind you what\u2019s under the bonnet.<\/p>\n<p>If practicality and economy are your priority the 1.6TDi model has adequate power for everyday driving while keeping running costs low.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much?\u00a0<\/strong>The new Golf starts from \u20ac21,670 OTR for a 1L TSI 3 door Trendline model rising to \u20ac30,170 for a 1.6TDI 5 door Highline version. A 3 door 4-motion Golf R will cost \u20ac47,730 OTR.\u00a0CO2 emissions range from 40 on the PHEV model to 180 on the Golf R with the most popular 1.6TDI version producing 106g\/km.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How safe?\u00a0<\/strong>Standard safety equipment on the new Golf includes ESC, curtain airbags for front and rear passengers, fatigue detection, hill hold control and post collision braking system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about my options?\u00a0<\/strong> The Trendline, Comfortline and Highline specifications remain. Petrol engine options include a 1.0 TSI with 85bhp or 110bhp, a 1.4TSI with 150bhp or a PHEV version with 204bhp, a 2.0 TSI as a GTi with 230bhp or R with 310bhp. Diesel versions are available as a 1.6TDI with 90 or 115bhp or 2.0TDI with 150bhp or 184bhp (GTD).<\/p>\n<p>Standard equipment on the Trendline spec includes a cooled glove compartment, LED tail lights, LED daytime running lights and a 6.5\u201d touchscreen radio system with Bluetooth connectivity. Upgrading to Comfortline will get you lumbar support on the front seats, 16\u201d alloy wheels, 8\u201d touchscreen with 8 speakers, Voice control and adaptive cruise control. Highline versions also come with sports seats, 17\u201d alloys, rear tinted windows, sports suspension and park distance control.<\/p>\n<p>VW are offering innovation packs with the current 171 offer \u2013 if you opt for Trendline \u20ac399 will add in 15\u201d alloys, Front fog lights and cruise control (saving \u20ac725), on Comfortline \u20ac399 will get you Park Distance Control, High Beam Light Assist, a light and vision package and folding mirrors (saving \u20ac880) and for Highline, GTI, GTD and R models a \u20ac599 pack gets you Discover media, High Beam Light Assist, Rear view camera and a winter pack with heated seats (saving \u20ac1,100).<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3 words to describe the new Golf?\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Solid, Reliable &amp; Iconic.<\/p>\n<p>For more information check out the Volkswagen Ireland <a href=\"http:\/\/www.volkswagen.ie\/en.html\">website\u00a0<\/a>or their Facebook\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vwireland\">page\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suzanne Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>12th April, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volkswagen&#8217;s perennial Golf \u00a0has been refreshed for 2017 writes\u00a0Suzanne Keane What is it?\u00a0Volkswagen\u2019s best seller the Golf has been a familiar sight on our roads since the 1970s and this version looks set to continue the trend with a wide choice of models to suit different requirements.
