The Golf remains reassuringly familiar in terms of quality, style, safety and space and is likely to retain its value over the years.
Despite 40 years in the market, the Golf remains an absolute legend in the motoring world and is renowned for being a classy, well-engineered, quality car. This iconic hatch offers a fab mix of performance, fun and value.
The great news is you can secure a new VW Golf with a £500 deposit and we’ll pay towards your first year’s insurance. You can use this to buy insurance from a provider of your choice (of course, we’d love it if you chose our black box insurance, but we don’t tie you in!)
Now in its 8th generation, the VW Golf is confidently classy. There have been few updates to give this car a sportier look and it’s a solid car built with a reliability that you’d expect from Volkswagen. The interior is superb, furnished with premium materials and a real sense of luxury. The seats are so comfy you’ll have kick your mates out at the end of a night out!
There are some nice touches with the kit too. All Golfs come with a 10” colour touchscreen infotainment system with touch-sensitive functionality, Driver Alert system, fatigue detection and Dynamic rod sign display as standard. Optional extras include voice activation, and the first-rate Dynaudio sound system is a must if you love your music.
Now in its seventh generation, the VW Golf is at its best with well weighted-steering and strong brakes. The Golf is a brilliantly stylish drive, gliding effortlessly down the motorway and easily handling tight corners and narrow streets in town. Whether you’re after a city run around or looking for something that can handle longer, more serious road trips, this accommodating hatch is bound to suit you.
Whilst the Golf is a bit more expensive to buy than many of its rivals, VW have ensured running costs are low. Even the racy 2.0 litre engine has an impressive 47.1mpg fuel economy and a decent score of 139g/km for CO2 emissions.
In terms of insurance the lower models start at a mid-range seven group but can rise as high as groups 34 for the high performance sportier models.
There’s plenty of space for you and four other mates plus it’s got a hugely practical boot so you’ll be sorted for the festival season. If you’re tall or you’ve got tall friends they’ll have no problem getting into and out of this car especially if you opt for the five door model - plus they won’t be complaining about comfort too.
There’s lots of smart storage space in the Golf including a large glovebox, deep cubby holes, huge door bins and various cup-holders. With so much room for all your gear, there’s no excuse for not keeping this car tidy!
Volkswagen pride themselves on their sense of well built, safe and reliable cars and the Golf doesn’t disappoint. Euro NCAP rated the Golf an impressive maximum five stars for safety with a notable 94% rating for adult occupant protection.
All cars boast seven airbags along with electronic parking brakes with auto hold function, electronic tyre pressure monitoring, stability control and hydraulic brake assist. There’s plenty of extra safety options should you feel the need to upgrade your Golf further.
