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.

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 Volkswagen GTI mightn’t sound like the sixties or doburnouts down half a quarter mile track, but where everyday sports car liveability is concerned, it’s virtually untouchable. If you’re after an uncompromised sports car for everyday use, it starts to make plenty of sense.

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 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 Volkswagen Golf is fun to drive, well-finished and spacious inside. It might not be as fuel-efficient as its Japanese enemies, but the trade-off is performance and driver involvement.
