1.5 TSI 204

Hatchback

<p dir="ltr">The VW Group famously spends more money on research and development than any rival – and as a result, perhaps it should be no surprise that our testers rate its cars so consistently highly.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The fact that many of those cars use the same underpinnings also helps, because it means that if they get it right once, they have the foundations to keep on getting it right.</p>

<p dir="ltr">However, the Volkswagen brand faces plenty of tough competition, often from within, because the rapidly rising Seat and Skoda brands that are also part of the group have access to the same technology.</p>

Volkswagen Golf

The VW Golf is a highly recommendable choice if you want a family car. Some rivals are more spacious and better to drive, and premium rivals have higher-grade interiors, but a 2024 update has improved the usability of the Golf's infotainment. We think Match trim with the 1.5 TSI 150 petrol engine is the best combination – although company car drivers will be better off choosing the Golf eHybrid, which has a class-leading electric-only range.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Plenty of practical space </li> <li>Low running costs </li> <li>A comfortable ride </li> <li>A healthy equipment list </li> <li>Quality materials and thoughtful touches inside </li> <li>Rock-solid reliability</li></ul>

<p>Family cars arguably have the toughest brief of all: they have to be good at pretty much everything. They’re used as the daily drive, on the school run or work commute (often both), and have to be able to cope with a family’s clutter on weekends and holidays.</p>
