VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2009-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 TDI CR DPF 105 SE

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2009-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 TDI CR DPF 105 SE is a compact diesel hatchback in the UK’s popular family-car class. Its three-door body gives it a sportier look than the practical five-door Golf, while SE trim balances comfort and useful equipment. It competes with the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Peugeot 308, and is known for a solid, understated feel.
With its efficient 1.6-litre diesel engine, this Golf suits regular commuting, longer journeys and drivers seeking a roomy, composed car without moving up to a larger vehicle. The three-door layout is less convenient for rear passengers, so it best suits couples, singles or small households rather than families needing frequent back-seat access. Its familiar controls and manageable size make everyday driving straightforward.
