The Volkswagen Golf has been given a midlife facelift, proving even when you’re at the top of your game, you still need to make sure that you stay there. Differences in the exterior are subtle to say the least, and Volkswagen probably figured that since we liked the last one so much, they shouldn’t mess around with it too much. But it did get some minor enhancements. The taillights are now full LED, the headlights stretch ever so slightly further back and the easiest way to identify the new one I think is the new chrome strip above the air intake. And also perhaps from the new colour pallet, this turmeric yellow is sure to catch the eye and even in rainy Ireland it looks surprisingly good. It’s the same size car it’s always been – which seems to be just the right one for a lot of people. It’s compact on the outside, but spacious on the inside. The boxy shape means plenty of headroom all round, and even backseat passengers get a generous amount of legroom. Although as with most cars in this class, the middle seat passenger won’t be as comfortable as the rest. The boot measures in at a respectable 380 litres, with a completely flat load area when you fold the rear seats, and no load lip making it nice and easy to slide things in and out. Storage wise it’s got plenty of cupholders, and plenty of other nooks and crannys to stash the essentials. What’s particularly nice about the storage in the Golf is how well finished it all is – the glovebox is felt-lined, as are the door bins and even this central storage area, so nothing rattles when you’re out on the road. Not even the three cylinder engine under the hood. And yes you heard that right – what’s powering this car is a teeny tiny one litre petrol engine. The difference between this and the ones you probably learned to drive in however is that Volkswagen have thrown in a big turbocharger, helping it to develop 110 brake horse power and generally feel and act like much faster and more powerful car. For those who do mainly urban and city driving – it might just be all the Golf you ever need. There’s also a larger yet surprisingly efficient 150hp 1.4l TSI, alongside the existing range of diesels, but the improveme nts in petrol power are definitely the big news with this facelift. Another thing that hasn’t changed too much is the quality of the drive, and the Golf is still as reassuring and composed on the road as ever before. The spot-on suspension, perfectly weighted steering and quiet comfortable cabin make it very pleasant way to get around and is no doubt a huge part of the reason the Golf has remained so popular for the last forty years. Four decades has seen the Golf live through and adapt to some huge developments in in-car technology, and a lot of the time be the first to do so. This new Golf is no different and now benefits from a new and improved range of infotainment systems. The touchscreens are larger, smarter and glossier than before and can now even be kitted out with an Audi-esque digital instrument cluster. That is standard on this top-spec highline model, which also gets some nice features like park distance control, 17 inch alloy wheels and sports seats. A nice touch but most Golf customers tend to go for mid-spec Comfortline model which still gets pretty much everything you need. You get the 8 inch touchscreen display, slightly smaller 16 inch wheels, Climatronic air-con and Adaptive cruise control. The Golf retains its full 5 star NCAP safety score and is now available with more driver-assisting features than ever before including automatic lighting, fatique alert and voice control. Other reasons you might buy a Golf are its great reputation for reliability and famously strong resale value – and while it might not be the most original choice in the world, it is one that will always make a lot of sense. Plus now you can get it in yellow. If you’d like to see the Golf for yourself you can find your local VW dealer on CarsIreland.ie, and while you’re there you can check out what we thought of the other nippy 1.0 litres we’ve tried lately like the Skoda Octavia and the Honda Civic.
