Now in its sixth generation, the Volkswagen Golf continues to be a top seller in the UK and abroad. Historically, the VW Golf is known for being well-made, great to drive and safe. Model and engine ranges are broad, with small capacity engines fitting into affordable insurance bands for young driver. And who could forget the original hot hatch, the Golf GTI, which continues to set the trend for powerful but practical hatchbacks.

New Volkswagen Golf reviews

The Volkswagen Golf Mk6 is a more polished version of the Mk5, with Volkswagen concentrating on rectifying the few issues the previous car had. Better door seals have cancelled out noise inside, and a new electronic stability control system (ECS) is an improvement on the Mk5 Golf system. Thicker rear pillars have restricted rearward visibility. The VW Golf engine range is one of the widest available, and there is a choice of three and five-door hatchbacks and an estate option.

Volkswagen Golf (2009-)

New price: £13.610 - £33.085
The latest Golf and the sixth redesign of the model. Is this simply a reworking, or is the Golf still as cutting edge as it was back in the 70s?
Volkswagen Golf GTI (2009-)

New price: £21.320 - £33.085
Volkswagen's Golf GTI is one of the most iconic cars of the past 30 years, and the latest model has recaptured the glories of early versions.

Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet (2011-)

New price: £20.740 - £28.655
The soft-top Golf is back - is it better than an Audi A3 cabrio?

Volkswagen Golf Estate (2007-)

New price: £18.075 - £24.850
VW's estate version of the popular Golf hatchback deserves just as much attention - it's a great all-rounder.

Used Volkswagen Golf reviews

The popularity of the Volkswagen Golf is proven in its resale prices. A used Golf holds its value remarkably well compared to rival mass-market cars, with diesel models in high demand due to the better economic return compared to a petrol engine. The 1.6 TDI BlueMotion is the most frugal option for the VW Golf Mk6, with a return of 73.4mpg.
