Product Overview

Volkswagen Golf 6 (typ 5K) is a compact hatchback in production from 2008 to 2012. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-5 engines that displaced 1.2 to 2.5 liters.
New to the Golf is the GTD and Golf R variants. The latter features a highly-boosted I4 engine and sends power to all four wheels. The Mk6 Golf is also decidedly more modern in design, though it shares many design elements with its predecessor.
The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality. Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Volkswagen Golf VI (5-door) uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance; still, the Golf comes with fully independent suspensions, which is not common for a vehicle of its class.
