Used Volkswagen GOLF 1992 1998 VR6 car review
Back in the late 1980s, Volkswagen spotted a market niche. Buyers were starting to move away from Golf GTis and into more expensive sports saloons, like the BMW 3 Series. The draw of a smooth and powerful six-cylinder engine was proving very tempting...

Used Volkswagen GOLF 2002 2004 R32 car review
Although the Mk IV Golf didn’t enjoy a great reputation as a sporting drive, look away from the GTi badge and there were some worthy candidates. The V5 models are well worth seeking out and the V6 4MOTION cars make fine high-speed cruisers. If you re...

Used Volkswagen GOLF 1977 1992 GTi MK1 & MK2 car review
Very few cars can lay claim to spawning an entire market sector, but the Volkswagen Golf GTi is one of them. Before we even started referring to cars of its ilk as ‘hot hatches’ they were simply called GTis. For a while in the early eighties it seeme...
