The model
Read full Volkswagen Golf reviewThe VW Golf is a highly recommendable choice if you want a family car. Some rivals are more spacious and better to drive, and premium rivals have higher-grade interiors, but a 2024 update has improved the usability of the Golf's infotainment. We think Match trim with the 1.5 TSI 150 petrol engine is the best combination – although company car drivers will be better off choosing the Golf eHybrid, which has a class-leading electric-only range.
The trim

The engine
See full engine specsThe Golf R is very quick, with 328bhp and an official 0-62mph time of 4.6 seconds.
