The VW Golf for 2016 offers European-inspired handling, safety and interior design, which make even the most basic Golf feel more polished and upscale than most domestic and Asian competitors. The diesel engine delivers impressive fuel economy and acceleration, while the GTI and Golf R will thrill driving enthusiasts.
If you prefer the safety of a trunk to the Golf’s open cargo area, a VW Jetta or even Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic will have to do. The Golf doesn’t offer a hybrid model and many gasoline cars now come close to the diesel’s fuel economy.
