The model
Read full Volkswagen Golf reviewThe 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.
The trim
