The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF PLUS (2005-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 FSI LUNA is a five-door family hatchback with a taller, roomier feel than a regular Golf, rather than a full SUV. It sits in the practical middle ground of the UK used-car market, offering familiar Volkswagen design with extra cabin flexibility for everyday life. It suits small families, couples and commuters who want easy access, useful passenger space and a manageable size for town driving. The 1.6-litre petrol engine makes it a straightforward everyday choice, while the Luna trim gives this Golf Plus a comfortable, well-equipped feel. Its upright shape and flexible interior are the main attractions over many conventional hatchbacks. Mycarcheck.com checks logged 289 look-ups across 104 VINs; cars averaged 95,000 miles and 3.6 previous keepers. Average private-sale value was £1,200, though condition matters. Compared with the Ford Focus, its taller, more flexible cabin is a distinctive advantage for practical buyers.
