FROM
$10,780

The 2017 Volkswagen Golf range of configurations is currently priced from $7,999.

Our most recent review of the 2017 Volkswagen Golf resulted in a score of 8.6 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributor Dan Pugh had this to say at the time: The Golf R's split personality is a perfect blend of daily-driver practicality and powerful performance. If you’re looking to spice up your garage with a second car that delivers head-snapping performance, but that can also be used as a family hauler when needed, then the Golf R should be at the top of your short list.

Volkswagen Golf 2017 FAQs

Volkswagen Golf 2017: Should I disconnect the battery for a month?

You could disconnect the battery without any drama, or you could just leave it locked up in the garage. Should you do so you shouldn’t have a problem starting it on your return.

Volkswagen Golf 2017: Unhappy with my warranty service

They’ve fixed the faults under warranty, so they have honoured their warranty. If it happens again ask for a loan car to use while yours is being fixed.

 

What's a good car for a mid-life crisis?

There’s clearly no point in talking sense to you, your head is in a complete muddle. You want a fix for your mid-life crisis, yet you talk about resale value, warranty, fixed-price servicing and boring stuff like that. You need to think about what it is you want from your “sporty-ish” car, do you want a performance car that will be thrilling to drive, or are you a park-and-poser and just want to look good when you stop at the café for a latte. The VW Golf GTi is a thrill-a-minute hot hatch; you like the i30N, and both would be good buys. Buy the Lux if you decide on the i30N. You could also think about a BMW M3, or an older Porsche Boxster. I wouldn’t suggest a Commodore SS or a Falcon XR6T ute, they’re a bit boring.
