Only a few nameplates see that kind of distance, those that have carved out a healthy reputation in the marketplace. According to Volkswagen, it has produced over 45 million Golfs from production sites, not just in Germany but scattered in plants globally, and there’s no sign that production will end anytime soon. Golf 8 has just landed in New Zealand and at present it is available here in three variants – two TSi models and a GTi. I’m sure the high performance Golf R will find its way here as production comes on stream and supply lines are generated to 100 per cent. The two TSi models consist of the base specification $37,990 variant which is designated Life, and the R-Line model as tested, it adds $10k. For interest’s sake, the GTi is listed at $61,490. The R-Line evaluation car lived up to all expectation. It is the quintessential five-door hatchback that makes you feel particularly good to be in. Volkswagen has been careful not to depart from the fundamental concept of Golf, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a generational change, the driveline has been further refined, the exterior style has been sharpened, while the interior has gone very high-tech. In terms of the latter, even though the electronic functions are vast they are minimalistic and intuitive. There’s a strong presence of haptic switches and buttons, fingertip controls that make understanding and working the controls simple. The entire dash panel and layout is clean and fresh, in keeping with the rest of the ultra-modern interior. When you are inside the Golf 8 you feel part of the vehicle, and at home with its ergonomics, it has that unmistakeable European feel. Comfort levels are also high and space for five adults is far from compromised. The Golf over the years hasn’t dramatically increased in size, so you still have that compact feel yet know there’s enough room on board for the time when it will be full to capacity. I have a friend who has the previous generation model and she has often had a full load onboard, that’s something you can do easily with Golf, it makes good use of its proportions. Under the bonnet sits a 1.4-litre ULTRA-MODERN: Comprehensive but minimalistic display and control systems are intuitive to use. VOLKSWAGEN GOLF TSI: Eight-generation model is now available in Kiwi market. turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is pretty much a carryover. It’s a real honey in terms of how it operates, it is smooth, quiet and efficient. Volkswagen claim power outputs of 110kW and 250Nm, the secret to its keen performance are the areas where power and torque are developed, both low down at 5000rpm and 1500rpm respectively. Consequently, there is strong boost from take-off and no drop-off of power through to the redline, all of the time the engine is singing sweetly, it is well isolated and shows no sign of breathlessness. Drive is carried through an eight-speed automatic transmission that has paddle shifters if you wish to manually work up and down the ratios. Not only is the driveline such a strong performer – 0-100km in 8.7sec – but it is also a fuel miser. Volkswagen claim a combined cycle average of 5.8-litres per 100km. That sits well with the readout during my time with the TSi, it was constantly listing at 7l/100km with 4l/100km showing instantaneously at 100km/h (engine speed 1800rpm). When I mentioned that European feel from inside the car, that presence is also carried on through movement. It feels firmly • Price – Volkswagen Golf TSi R-Line, $47,990 • Dimensions – Length, 4396mm; width, 1789mm; height, 1491mm • Configuration – Fourcylinder, front-wheeldrive, 1395cc, 110kW, 250Nm, eight-speed automatic • Performance – 0-100km/h, 8.7sec • Fuel usage – 5.8l/100km connected to the road and has handling that has you thinking you are driving something far more exotic. Drive is channelled to the front wheels, and that has been a Golf fundamental since day one. The suspension is a mix of struts up front with an independent multi-link rear. The combination provides wheel freedom and adequate suspension movement. The spring and damper rates are exactly what you would expect, and want, just enough firming to contain body movement along with the ability to tackle the hits from uneven road surfaces. Providing the grip are beautiful Bridgestone tyres, at 225/40 x 18in the profile is such that there is just enough sidewall flex to maintain onboard comfort, along with the footprint to promote feedback to the driver. I took the evaluation car on the inland scenic route (SH72) through to Glenroy from Darfield, the Golf dispenses distances with ease and is a competent handler when the wide, flowing corners are presented. In the tight stuff, steerage is sharp and direct, the Golf almost dances through the twisty bits, it is athletic and nimble, providing the driver with a great deal of satisfaction. As an everyday drive, my five days with the evaluation car involved the urban commute and I’ve deemed it the quintessential city car, it dawdles the traffic with a smooth operating manner and doesn’t tax the occupants in any way. That’s why Golf has done so well globally, it is a car that does nothing wrong but everything right. In R-Line form it has those extra bits that you could say gives it a more luxurious feel. However, I’d be saving the $10k and pick up the Life variant, it just seems such a bargain and would certainly make you feel like a million dollars every time you are in it. has motoring covered. www.grcaudio.co.nz Incorporating ISSUE 667 | FrIday 20 novEmbEr 2020 The biggest range of vehicles in one location! 2011 Jaguar XF Premium $18,999 See inside for this week's 4WD feature! 113 sherborne st, edgeware 32 Moorhouse Ave | P: (03) 366 7768 | www.valuecarswarehouse.co.nz See page 4 for more info!
