Vehicle overview
Golf TDI, I would say it is the best looking of the seven generations of Golfs/Rabbits. The front end is clean and simple with a distinctive VW family face. The grille slot is broken up in the middle with the iconic VW chrome badge and the standard halogen headlights are now fitted with squared-off bulbs for a modern look. The lower grille opening is flanked by a pair of fog lights. Besides a thin line of chrome in the grille and the badge, there is nothing superfluous added to the front. Very “Audi-esque” and the same goes for the side profile and rear of the Golf.
With this tester being a Highline model, above the base Trendline and Comfortline trims, the car rolls along on 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels fitted with 225/45R17 low-profile tires that fill the wheel arches quite nicely. The panoramic power roof is also a benefit of the Highline model.
