Power hungry? Then you’ll like the look of this it’s the Volkswagen Touareg R50. It’s worlds apart from the recent Bluemtion range that has been introduced. For instance the Polo Bluemotion is a frugal diesel car with a low CO2 output – the Touareg R50 is also a diesel powered vehicle but with its V10 unit, it takes a lot more fuel to make it sing.... read more

Fancy doing your bit for the environment - by lowering your CO2 emissions? While keeping the cost of motoring down? Then you need to have a serious look at the Volkswagen Polo 1.4TDi Bluemotion. The tweaks to the body and chassis are minor – it’s the engine where the work has gone on and the car has turned from being a good city car to being a brilliant all rounder.... read more

Overall this is a good car, extremely fast but at times the ride can be hard. The inside is huge and safety and security is excellent.... read more

Very reliable vehicle. My caddy has 170k on the clock now and is as tight and lively as it was when new. Acceleration is superb through all the gears helped by a fantastic little turbo unit, even when fully loaded. Fuel economy is good, Motorway travel averages 49mpg whilst around town it will do 39 - 41mpg. Cabin is spacious, well laid out and very comfortable. Road noise is low and if you did not have the slightly restricted view out the back you would believe that you were in an MPV. Parts, when they do need replacing can be pricey but then again it is a Volkswagen and the parts do last. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who was looking for a reliable load-lugger. Only 4 stars because nothing is perfect!

I first bought a Golf in 2002, it was the Mk 4 and it gave me 5 years of reliable, pleasurable driving. I had never been so happy with a car so I did not hesitate in moving onto the Mk 5 when I felt it was time to upgrade my motor. The Gold now looks even better and every aspect has been improved upon. It is a fantastic all-rounder that gives sublime performance, reliability and practical for a busy lifestyle. I like to be able to make adjustments to get the best driving position and the Gold allows me to get the seat and steering wheel just right (until my girlfriend borrows the car and then I’m back to square one again...). I know that the residual values are extremely strong and although I plan to keep for car for at least 5 years it’s good to know that it will still be worth a decent amount even then. Green cars are very much in vogue at the moment and my variant has low emissions of 132g/km and high fuel economy of 56 miles per gallon. The Golf is a car that can fit into any household, it does everything you need from a car. 5 stars*****

Everything about the Golf is quality. It offers a smooth and refined ride and is the most comfortable and quietest car that I have ever taken onto the motorway, road and wind noise are almost non-existent. This is the best car in its class and the attention to detail shown in the interior makes being in the cabin a complete joy. Everything works well, reliability is second to none and the fuel economy is pretty good. The icing on the cake are the excellent residual values which makes the Gold attractive to buy new, or as in my case, lease. The best small family car / hatchback.

215,000 miles and still going strong. Unbelievable fuel economy with loads of room for passengers and luggage.

Never lets me down, nice to drive, comfortable for driver and passengers, good boot which becomes masive with the back seats are folded down, cheap to run - can’t really ask for much more from a car can you?

Absolutely love this car. It’s fast, looks great and is fun to drive. No problems with the roof and it has an NCAP rating of 4 - not bad! A reasonably priced convertable that gives around 40 MPG.

This is such a girlie car and I love it. It’s cute looking and comes with a flower vase, what’s not to like?! It also has a decent engine and drives really well. It’s totally reliable and well built. A reinvented classic that has become a classic itself - pity you boys have to miss out!

This is my second Passat Estate and VW have done a great job in updating an already cracking car. The boot is now bigger and the interior feels even plusher. Brilliant car that drives exceptionally well and is affordable to run. 5 out of 5.

I’ve had this car for 12 months now and have just recommended it to my brother-in-law who is looking for a good, flexible family car that doesn’t cost a bomb to run and is very reliable, which this car fits the bill perfectly. The only downside I have found is the residuals on this car are low considering it’s a VW. I’ve advised my b.i.l. to buy a used one.

I have had my company Touareg now for two years and done 34000 miles. Superbly put together and quite economical: 26 around the houses and almost 30 on a run down the motorway. Only problem is a sticking rear door handle. I could have had a Range Rover Sport but have not regretted my choice. Going for its second expensive service now but not too heavy costs to service when you consider the servicing intervals. I will be buying another.
