Volkswagen Golf has become an icon in the motoring world. This compact car was a successor to the famous VW Beetle and launched in the UK in 1974. The car's rich history has made a huge number of used Volkswagen Golf's available in the market today. The Golf has evolved its shape, size, style, aerodynamics and technology over the years but has maintained its good looks, driveability and likeability. You can find a second-hand VW Golf to suit all kinds of lifestyles, including family cars, city cars, hot hatches and even electric versions.
Less hot-hatch and more super-hatch, the Golf R returns with 320 horsepower, all-wheel drive and – for the brave – a new drift mode
