Alongside the Volkswagen Beetle, the Golf is one of the most popular cars around the world, and it’s just as iconic to the younger demographic as the Beetle was to earlier generations. From 2013 to the beginning of 2020, very few cars offer the classless appeal of the Volkswagen Golf. Not only is the Golf as multi-talented as its predecessors, but it has also improved on them significantly. But why does the Golf retain such a loyal following and enthusiastic fan base? At all of our AutoPark stores, we have an expansive selection of Golf inventory, and we’ll show you why buying a used Volkswagen Golf would be the right move for you.
The Golf offers many features that we have come to love, such as its signature hatchback look, multiple available engine options, the option of either an automatic or manual transmission. No matter which model you opt for, the Golf has always been popular for its incredible performance and handling. It’s proof that the Volkswagen Golf has always been a driver’s car. The Golf has also always been great for fuel economy, getting up to 29 mpg in the city and up to 35 mpg on the highway. For these reasons, and many more, the Golf has always appealed to every type of buyer.
The Golf ranges from low-capacity 1.0, 1.4 and 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engines that punch far above their weight in terms of performance, while still managing to return impressive fuel-efficiency, to the 1.6 and 2.0-litre diesel engines for those who travel on the highway every day. The Golf feels more powerful than most other compacts in its class, which you can credit to the 1.8 turbo’s very accessible torque peak at just 1600 rpm. Turbo lag is minimal: zero to 97 km/h comes up in 7.7 seconds with the automatic transmission and 6.8 seconds with the stick. The Golf delivers a comfortable and compliant ride that smooths over ruts and potholes, while still clinging to the road and imparting an athletic feel along with strong braking.
