Volkswagen Golf Picture

Ever since it was introduced, the Volkswagen Golf was known as the practical hatchback, the worthy replacement to the best-selling Volkswagen Beetle, which was initially replaced by the Volkswagen Rabbit. It is known to give a decent amount of power, superior handling capability, luxurious comforts and an abundance of safety features.

The Volkswagen Golf came as the replacement to the Volkswagen Rabbit. It was initially powered only by a 115 hp 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine with a standard manual transmission. Now it is available with three engine options: a 2.0 liter I4 engine for the regular model, a fuel efficient 1.9 liter I4 turbocharged diesel engine for the TDI trim, and a powerful 3.2 liter V6 engine for the R32 trim. The standard transmission stays with the 5-speed manual type although a 6-speed manual, 4-speed automatic and 5-speed automatic are also available as options.

If the third generation Volkswagen Golf of 1994 comes meager with interior and exterior features, the present generation and the upcoming fifth generation is lavishly equipped with interior and exterior amenities. The Volkswagen Golf is also much safer and secure now, making it a car that really adheres to the tradition of Volkswagen cars.
