Since 1974 Volkswagen has produced the massively popular Golf. It is VW's best selling model, and it is now in its 6th mark. * Volkswagen Golf Mk 1 1974 - 1984 * Volkswagen Golf Mk 2 1985 - 1992 * Volkswagen Golf Mk 3 1991 - 1998 * Volkswagen Golf Mk 4 1997 - 2006 * Volkswagen Golf Mk 5 2003 - 2009 * Volkswagen Golf Mk 6 2009 - presentIt replaced the VW Beetle, but not straight away. VW Beetle production kept going until 1978 in Germany and until much later in Mexico.This transition from air cooled to water cooled engines was in part thanks to Volkswagen's access to Audi technology.Here is something to ponder [and may win you a pub quiz]: What has the Golf and its variants [Bora, Jetta, Scirocco, Passat] all have in common?The answer is easy if you know that Jetta is the German for 'Trade Wind'. The word Golf does not refer to the pleasant game which Europeans beat Americans at. It refers to the Gulf Stream, the warm water that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and that flows to the north west coast of Europe.

0 comments Posted by bajol at 9:40 PMDesigned for every sports car lover, Volkswagen's Scirocco is good looking, handles sharply and is solidly built. On being the quickest, most powerful and most focused version of Volkswagen's small three-door 'coupe', It is a car which benefits from not having any direct competitors, so you can rest assured that you are getting something that is different. In its range-topping 2.0 TSI GT spec the Scirocco comes with excellent levels of equipment and its neat handling and superb refinement completes a great package. On the whole, the Scirocco is certainly a tempting buy.

Starting at $23,485, the 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan is one of the a lot of big-ticket affordable bunched SUVs. Reviewers, however, do like what you get for about $24,000: accepted Bluetooth technology, adventurous car-like active dynamics and a high-quality German interior. “The 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan offers a altered acidity in a boilerplate chic by trading some acumen for a best berth and European active manners," says Edmunds.

Engine/PerformanceBuyers get the best of three engines – but don’t avoid the petrol option. The firm’s able turbocharged 1.4-litre TSI assemblage is ill-fitted to the Tiguan, with affluence of torque and reasonable ammunition economy. However, college breadth drivers will adopt the agent options, which cover 138bhp and 168bhp versions of the firm’s accepted abuse 2.0-litre TDI. Opt for the 1.4 TSI or entry-level agent and you can even accept a added economical two-wheel drive transmission.

New Volkswagen Polo GTI is an award winning sports coupe. On first appearances it does not resemble a sports car but upon further inspection it is definitely something that will haul. The car lives up to its German name in its construction and durability. This car has some unique features for a car of this size. For one thing it has a six speed transmission with a clutch on the floor or a tap clutch on the steering column. Either one allows the car to go from zero to sixty with relative ease and speed.
The comfort of the interior is surprising for a sporty coupe with wrap around seats. The cockpit surrounding makes it easy to reach for things in and around the dashboard. The steering column has a telescoping design for added comfort and convenience. Several features are alluring including the built in Navigation system, i-pod plug in, travel modes and awesome stereo system. It has numerous protective devices including dual front airbags, side airbags and steel constructed side doors for the safety of the driver and passengers.

Volkswagen Amarok - What can drivers expect? Layout - The Volkswagen Amarok will initially be launched in a four door double-cab layout, with a single cab design to follow. The interior space is expected to outclass other UTEs, with full seating for five people, spacious headroom and leather upholstery.
Engine and fuel efficiency - The Amarok runs on one of two 2.0 TDI diesel engines, the first a bi-turbo diesel engine and a second smaller diesel engine. One of the drawcards of the Amarok is its fuel efficiency, with the bi-turbo engine's fuel economy listed at just 7.8 l/100km and the smaller engine achieving a similar 7.6 l/100km fuel economy.
