Volkswagen Golf (2013 - 2020)
2.0 TDi bluemotion estate
slightly disappointing
Good points. It is quieter and more refined than the Skoda Octavia 3 it replaced, if less well equipped. Economy is reasonable and slightly bigger boot than our previous mark 6 Golf estate.
2.0Tdi is reasonably brisk and fairly frugal. Around 48-52mpg according to computer. Not checked by measurement.
Bad points. Feels less solid than the Mark 6 and is less comfortable. I am 6' and medium build but cannot angle seat back to get enough lumbar support without headrest intruding.
Suspension feels soft compared to Mark 6 Golf and to Skoda and struggles with undulating twisting roads.
Bought used from VW dealer at 41000miles. So far covered 3000 miles. DAB doesn't work when heated window on (not covered by warranty) but otherwise no faults as yet
