VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2009-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 TSI EU5 105 S 6SPD
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLKSWAGEN GOLF (2009-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 TSI EU5 105 S 6SPD is a five-door petrol family hatchback, sitting in the UK’s popular middle ground between smaller city cars and larger family cars. Its restrained styling, practical cabin and manageable size make it an easy everyday choice, rather than a specialist or luxury model.
With a six-speed manual gearbox and a small turbocharged petrol engine, this Golf aims to balance relaxed commuting with useful flexibility for town trips and longer journeys. It suits couples, small families, commuters and newer drivers wanting more space and refinement than a basic supermini. Against Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra rivals, the Golf is known for a solid, well-finished feel and broad all-round ability.
