Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2004-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDI 140 GT SPORT DSG DPF is a five-door family hatchback at the heart of the UK used-car market. It pairs a punchy diesel with an automatic gearbox, offering relaxed longer-distance driving and useful everyday practicality. It rivals the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra.
The GT Sport’s sportier look and five-door cabin suit commuters and small families, while the DSG automatic helps in traffic. The 140bhp diesel is most at home on regular longer journeys. As an older diesel, check its service record and emissions equipment, and consider whether your usual short trips suit it.
