Test Driving the 2010 VW Golf TDI
By Chris Trout

Favorably intrigued by Volkswagen’s recent product lineup, I was delighted to test drive the new 2010 VW Golf. Just last year, the hatchback small car in the VW portfolio was called the Rabbit. Along with light redesign in 2010, VW ditched the fluffy moniker in favor of the Golf nameplate.
The turbo diesel technology especially captured my interest. I was pleased to discover that the TDI badge is now available on the redesigned 2010 Golf. New TDIs boast an updated turbo diesel displacing 2.0 liters to replace the previous 1.9 liter version. Valvetrain is in SOHC configuration with four valves per cylinder. Updates include superior fuel mileage and rumors of a more performance-oriented drive. As a fan of both white-knuckled performance and miserly spending, I targeted a four door 2010 Golf TDI for my enjoyment. My goal was to locate a TDI and a stick shift but sadly ended up with an automatic.

Aggressive Offset Deja VW
Antonio Alvendia
I was reading Yoshi Shindo’s Passat story the other day and it really jumped off the page at me when he said he had “never been the greatest fan of VWs”. Not that there’s anything wrong with liking what you like. It just reminded me of something my boy Steve told me about the VW scene awhile back. He said (I’m paraphrasing): “There’s nothing new about aggressive offset and rolled fenders. VW guys have been doing that for over 30 years.” Continue reading and view more photos on MotorMavens!

Air Ride Golf and Diatribes About Civics
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
I have a theory I’d like to run past you lot…. please bear with me, as I’m working out my thoughts as I write this… it’s a bit of an experimental premise and needs some feedback from you. Here’s the thought: The Honda Civic and the Volkswagen Golf have had somewhat parallel histories and comparable positions within certain factions of car mod culture. Both started out life as small FF cars, in 1972 and 1974 respectively, and each developed some big followings over the years in different parts of the world. However, the parallel pathways have become more divergent in recent years. Continue reading at Speedhunters

Spot the Difference: The VW X-Ray
imotormag
Some people have said about the new Golf 6 that it’s more like the Golf 5.5, due to the similar looks to the outgoing model. However, aside from the exterior cosmetic tweaks, the new Golf is actually hiding most of its changes under the skin. So what better way to check it out than to use this cool draggable X-Ray? We also did a comparative video review to highlight the changes with the new model. Enjoy!
