The Golf hatchback has many virtues, but this sixth generation of VW’s best-selling car remains seasoned for German palates. It’s a tasty side dish, but not the car that will make the company a staple in American households.

If you’re looking for a sporty, fuel-efficient hatchback, Golf should top your list. Golf has hot-hatch looks and the spunk to back it up. It adds a fun-to-drive, refined, and fairly roomy dose of sportiness to the compact-car class.

The 2010 Volkswagen Golf 2.5L hatchback is practical made perfect. That means, in the compact-car segment in which it competes, it’s also expensive.

The restyled 2010 Volkswagen Golf is as cute as a little ladybug, but much sportier. It was functional, fun and zippy enough to seem like it cost much more.

The 2010 Volkswagen Golf VI appears to offer a similar character with greater refinement, improved performance, and a lesser impact on our environment.

Thanks to decades of refinement, the Volkswagen Golf is one of the most impressive small cars you can buy, combining interior quality with a sporty character.

The Golf beguiles with neither speed nor cornering ability, but with its overall charm. It combines practicality and distinctive style with a suspension that can either comfort or, to some extent, cavort.

The 2010 VW Golf’s price tag may get you to swallow hard, but if you’re in the market for a compact offering that’s roomy, fun-to-drive and delivers great fuel economy, you’ll have to look hard to find something quite as competitive.

VW has done a good job of keeping its bread-and-butter car at the front of the compact hatchback pack. The Golf is a little expensive, but based on our drive, folks who pony up the cash are likely to end up mighty satisfied.

Numbers and hard data are helpful in judging a car, but the real chemistry happens – or fails to – when you settle into the driver’s seat. That’s when Golf’s satisfying road feel makes it shine, especially so in the TDI.

The 2012 Golf R has an excellent engine and well-designed suspension that delivers big speed and big thrills. Bottom line: This is a neat friggin’ car!
