Volkswagen's Golf is the family hatchback against which all others are judged - and never more so than in this lighter, larger, quieter and more efficient seventh generation guise, where it proved to be cleverer and more usable than ever before. If you're shopping for a secondhand example, you might be asking yourself why you should buy one. But perhaps the more pertinent question is whether there's really any reason why you shouldn't.
History
Volkswagen's modern era 'Peoples' Car', the Golf family hatchback, has been bought by an awful lot of people. Launched back in 1974 to replace the iconic Beetle, it was the car that saved the company through 29 million sales and six generations that by 2013, brought us to this MK7 model.
At launch, this was the first truly new Golf we'd seen since just after the turn of the century, the previous sixth generation version having been merely a light re-skin of the old MK5 model. And it arrived at a time when the marque needed to step up its game. Volkswagen's in-house Skoda and SEAT brands were offering Golf technology for less, the South Korean competition was improving and more familiar mainstream family hatch rivals were adding premium quality and technology that, in the words of their marketeers, made them 'more Golf-like'.
But, as Volkswagen has always argued, there's no substitute for the definitive article - and this, we're told, is exactly it. Stiffer, plusher, safer, smarter, more efficient and higher-tech than its predecessor, the MK7 Golf model's goals lay far beyond simply being better than a Focus or an Astra. This car aimed to move above that, aspiring to appeal to buyers who might be considering premium-badged compact hatches from brands like BMW, Audi or Mercedes. Not everyone bought into that and predictably, throughout its lifetime, the Golf MK7 sold to people who wanted a nicer version of something Focus or Astra-sized. Volkswagen substantially upgraded this design in early 2017, but it's the original version of this generation model that we evaluate here as a secondhand buy.

For many people like me these reviews of older cars are by far the most interesting and relevant as l , and many people simply cannot afford or are not attracted to the latest models.
We are very lucky to have these comprehensive and interesting quality reviews for so many cars on the second hand market, all filmed in beautiful and interesting locations in England. (for instance they did a great review of the the Z12 Nissan cube , one of which happily I own.)
Keep up the good work car and driver team, your right up there with the best!
Very much appreciated!!
@CarandDrivingCarReviews was this filmed back when they were new? Or recently?
@@teddyboy9116 Good point, not a recent review therefore does not help the used market

Glad you liked it!
Seriously? You’re reviewing a 10-year-old beige Golf?🤔
Don't know about this particular model but my Mark 2 Golf GL 1.8 bought in January 1991 for £9,500 lasted 25 years until I sold it on to an enthusiast dealer who later sold it for almost £5.,000.
Y not, not like we all gonna have the money for new vehicles now a days, the man is making a difference in some of our lives .
@@Countdown-ct7iv this modle is avalable in the van version
