The VW Golf is one of the highest-selling and most recognized vehicles the world has ever seen – until a big part of the world could see it no more. That was the case recently in North America when word got out that the Mk 8 version of the Golf wouldn’t be coming here, unless you wanted a GTI or Golf R. The more entry-level models? Not for Canada and the US. Not anymore.
Which is why now is the perfect time to seek one out on the pre-owned market!
You see, the Golf – in hatchback or wagon form – was popular because it looked handsome, drove very well and often came more luxuriously appointed inside than the competition. The best part, of course, is that all of those features are still present if you can find a pre-owned model.
With the Golf, you get punchy four-cylinder engines (that often come turbocharged) that make for a much sportier drive than the price tag suggests. This is especially the case in the handling department; when you’ve been building a car for as many decades as VW has with the Golf, you learn a thing or two about how to make front-wheel-drive cars get the most out of their chassis.
With the Sportwagen model, meanwhile, you’ll be getting not just a Golf, but an example of that rare breed of car in North America: a roomy, easy-to-load and fun-to-drive station wagon. If you want something a little more robust, meanwhile, the Alltrack version of the wagon provides a higher ride height, AWD, and fender and rocker panel covers.
You can find a Golf with wither a manual or automatic transmission whether you’re looking at the hatch or the roomy wagon, and higher trims will provide Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, synthetic leather seating, alloy wheels and a host of other upgrades to make sure you know you’re not driving just another run-of-the-mill compact.
So what are you waiting for? It’s time to join the legend that is the VW Golf!
