With strong performance, impressive fuel economy, high safety ratings and class-leading fit and finish, the 2018 VW Golf offers an affordable, fun-to-drive package with European flair. The 220-horsepower GTI model is a favorite with enthusiasts all over the world.
Volkswagen does not offer the 2018 Golf as a sedan. If you’re looking for a traditional trunk, the automaker’s popular Jetta model is the same size as the Golf with similar styling. The two also share engines, transmissions, suspensions and interiors. If the Golf’s rear legroom is too tight for your needs, check out the more spacious Honda Civic.
