...good to drive, well constructed and competitively priced. The booming popularity of this generation of Golf gives all the proof necessary that Volkswagen has got the ingredients right. It's good to look at, good to drive, well equipped and - following some savage price-cutting - even capable of offering comparable value to segment rivals.
On the road this Golf is a revelation, driving far better than its dynamically inert predecessor did. The well-weighted steering helps the driver to feel like a vital part of the dynamic experience, while the well-damped chassis combines plentiful grip with a nicely judged level of adjustability. Motorway refinement is impressive, too. You'd have to look hard for a better all-rounder.
