Volkswagen Golf 1.6 S 3dr
What is it?
ENTRY-LEVEL 1.6-litre FSI petrol engined model sets out to prove there’s no weak link in the new Mk6 VW Golf range. Relatively small unit produces just 100bhp and is equipped to a basic standard. But the pay-off is a starting price of just £14,500. On sale now.
What’s hot?
- Virtually everything. The latest Golf is a great all-rounder…
- …with sturdy build quality and lots of space inside
- Small engine needs lots of revs to provide its best…
- …but thanks to excellent refinement it never sounds strained
- And, although there only five gears, motorway cruising is quiet
- Superb driving position and great comfort
- Steering is precise, grip strong, body control excellent
- Ride is simply brilliant with amazing bump absorption
- Strong residuals
What’s not?
- Certainly not fast or head-turning to look at
- Combined fuel economy of 39.8mpg…
- …and CO2 of 166g/km unimpressive against diesels
- It also only qualifies for 10% writing down allowance
- Steering isn’t Focus sharp
- Although air-con is standard, alloys aren’t
