1.5 TSI 116

The VW Group famously spends more money on research and development than any rival – and as a result, perhaps it should be no surprise that our testers rate its cars so consistently highly.

The fact that many of those cars use the same underpinnings also helps, because it means that if they get it right once, they have the foundations to keep on getting it right.

However, the Volkswagen brand faces plenty of tough competition, often from within, because the rapidly rising Seat and Skoda brands that are also part of the group have access to the same technology.

CADDY CALIFORNIA

All Caddy Californias get manual air conditioning, electric front windows, magnetic window blinds, cruise control, a multi-function steering wheel, alloy wheels and the infotainment system. We’d recommend paying the extra for the California Plus Pack as it nets you some genuinely useful accessories (see the Passenger and Boot Space section) as well as the panoramic roof, which makes the Caddy feel significantly more spacious and airy inside.

Volkswagen Caddy California

The Caddy California might be small but it's pretty mighty. With a competitive starting price and compact dimensions, it opens up a world of camping to both younger buyers and couples who simply want a camper van for the odd weekend away. With five usable seats and reasonable performance, you could even use it as everyday transportation.

A staple of British holidaymakers, camper vans come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, but are usually based on existing commercial vehicles. Camper vans will have been modified to make them more comfortable for extended use, and often come with extra amenities including cooking facilities, a sleeping area and, in some cases, a toilet or shower.
