2002 Volkswagen Golf

For three years now since its 1999 major redesign, no major change has been seen for the Volkswagen Golf. The 2002 Volkswagen is again a carry-over of the previous year's model. Volkswagen must have been already contented with the sales of its Golf line up so that no further changes were being made.

As with the previous year, the 2002 Volkswagen Golf is available in the GL and GLS trim with TDI versions for each trim. Both 3-door and 5-door body styles are now available for the GL trim while the GLS trim only has the 5-door body style. Two basic engine types are available: the 2.0 liter 115 hp I4 engine that provides an adequate amount of power and the 1.9 liter 90 hp turbocharged diesel I4 engine that provides exceptional fuel efficiency. All trims are equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission with a 4-speed automatic transmission available at an added cost.

No interior refinements were made for the 2002 Volkswagen Golf. Standard features like air conditioning system, power windows and door locks, and cassette player were retained while no new feature was introduced. Instead, new warranties were provided: a basic 4 year/50,000 miles warranty and 24-hour roadside service.
