This seventh-generation version of the compact car is lighter and more fuel-efficient but still larger than previous Volkswagen Golfs. Compared to its competitors, the Volkswagen Golf is a small, inexpensive luxury car. Although the internal space that is not pleasant for the passengers of the Golf, the car can be attractive because its price at dealerships and its excellent cost-benefit. The Volkswagen Golf is equipped with a potent engine named Motor Trend that can offer tranquility for the driver but also power when needed along its 292 horse-power. To win the award, the Golf beat out 23 other completely new or substantially redesigned models considered by the magazine.
