Volkswagen Golf Review

For:Great to drive, comfortable, strong image

Against:Not cheap to buy, diesels sound a little gruff

Autoquake.com verdict: star

Why buy one?

The Volkswagen Golf is one of the icons of the motoring world, and with good reason. Few cars are so good at blending sensible virtues with a dose of fun.

There's plenty of room inside for passengers and lots of space for luggage, too. Emissions are low and economy is good.

A used Volkswagen Golf is lively enough to put a smile on your face, with a desirable image which few rivals can match.

Why think twice?

The diesel engines are noisy when accelerating hard, and because the Golf is in demand prices aren't cheap.

How safe?

Very. Even basic cars come with a long list of safety kit, and crash test experts at Euro NCAP have given the car a five-star rating.

What might go wrong?

A second-hand Volkswagen Golf should prove reliable. The car finished 24th out of 101 cars in the 2009 JD Power Customer Satisfaction Survey.

What do the experts say?

'The Golf is a practical car that's great to drive and has a strong image.' What Car?

Anything else I should know?

It might not be as desirable as a Golf, but a Skoda Octavia is essentially the same car under the skin and costs less second-hand. Audi A3 are also very similar. You'll find a Golf owners' club at www.golfmk5.com.

Which one should I buy?
