2018 Volkswagen Golf Review
Overview
The Volkswagen Golf was named to Car & Driver’s 10 Best list for a twelfth straight year. They said its impeccable road manners and refined yet practical interior make it the best and most versatile car in its class. Choose from two models: the well-equipped S and the top-of-the-line SE. There’s 93.5 cubic feet of passenger volume inside. Or fold down the 60/40-split rear seatback and you can fit over 50 cubic feet of cargo. And a peppy turbocharged engine means you can carry everything for up to 34 miles on a single gallon of gas. Bluetooth technology with audio streaming adds voice control and available Volkswagen Car-Net App-Connect brings select smartphone apps to a touchscreen display—it’s compatible with Apple CarPlay Android Auto and MirrorLink. And best of all every Golf comes with America’s best bumper-to-bumper warranty—The People First Warranty. Choose from a variety of colors options and Genuine Volkswagen Accessories and build a Golf that’s all yours. The Volkswagen Golf. It’s an urban legend.
Technology
The Volkswagen Golf puts high technology well within your reach. Bluetooth technology with audio streaming lets you enjoy the ease of voice control—and keeps your eyes on the road where they belong. Volkswagen Car-Net App-Connect with Apple CarPlay Android Auto and MirrorLink compatibility lets you access select smartphone apps right from your dash. Available SiriusXM Satellite Radio brings news music weather and more—wherever you are. And with available Car-Net Security & Service you can access your Golf from your computer tablet smartphone and smartwatch. The Volkswagen Golf. Taking technology to town.
Safety
Why was the Volkswagen Golf awarded a five-star safety rating by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration? For starters there’s the available Blind Spot Monitor which can alert you if another car’s sneaking into your blind spot. Then there’s available Parking Steering Assistant which can help steer your Golf into parking spaces. And available Rear Traffic Alert to help you back up with more confidence—once it saves you from getting hit you’ll never back out of a driveway or parking spot without it again. The Volkswagen Golf. Peace of mind comes standard.
Performance
There’s never a dull moment in your Volkswagen Golf. When it’s time to hit the highway the Golf’s turbocharged 1.8-liter engine delivers 170 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. And up to 34 miles per gallon. This excellent balance of power and efficiency comes with your choice of a five-speed manual or an available six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic and Sport Mode. And electric power-assist rack-and-pinion steering means a nimble ride. The Volkswagen Golf. It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s a machine designed for today’s urban explorer.
