"Good and fairly spacious to drive inside, has the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet many of the good points of the hatch, but with the added attraction of a folding roof . "
Small, four-seat convertibles like the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet are somewhat rare of a race in these days , the convertible Golf has few direct competitors. One could argue that the Audi TT, Audi A3 Cabriolet and BMW 2 Series convertible alternatives, but all three are much more expensive than the VW, while the DS 3 Cabrio is slightly smaller and not quite fully convertible like the Golf.
the existence of the Golf Cabriolet in a relatively small class has its advantages for Volkswagen, as it means the necessity of the soft-top Golf is not as upgrade presses. For example, the Golf Cabriolet is still based on the sixth generation mechanicals, instead of the current seventh generation of the Golf hatchback used. While this means it beautifully still drives and gets the same engines as the current generation, the little dated styling - inside and out -. Begins to show its age, especially when compared with the Audi A3 Cabrio

that is not to say that she feels in any way lacking in quality. All materials used in the interior feel together solid and well, while the exterior design is underestimated as a rule. While a convertible compromise always has, whether its practicality or performance provides the golf less of it than some other drops Tops
The roof opens and closes impressively fast -. Open Takes just 9.5 seconds, and then - done something that can at speeds of up to 19 mph. the boat is not useless folded Even with the roof, while space is too sensible to the rear seats. The car is always impressive quiet and refined whether the roof is up or down.
There are a good range of smooth, powerful and efficient petrol engines under the hood, with three petrol and two diesel engines available. Our favorites are the 123bhp 1.4-liter turbo petrol and 148bhp 2.0-liter diesel. They offer the best balance between running costs and performance.
In terms of running costs, these motors 51 and 65mpg manage or producing CO2 emissions of 128g / km and 112 g / km. This means that you will be liable for a tax bill either £ 110 or £ 30, a difference that offset by the fact that the diesel cost more than to buy the petrol models.

You can choose from three trim levels - S, SE and GT - and while standard equipment a bit sparse feel, is compared to newer cars in order, it begins. For example, you have top-of-the-range upgrade (and quite expensive) GT versions until you get satellite navigation as standard. All models get alloy wheels and a 6.5-inch touch-controlled infotainment system, the DAB radio features, USB ports and Bluetooth phone connectivity.
We would recommend going for a mid-range SE model, as this adds dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, automatic wipers, cruise control, automatic headlights and a speed limiter. Top spec GT models are expensive and the only significant addition to the kit list is Navi. GT models are even with the most powerful engines available.
The Golf Cabriolet deserves the full five-star award from the experts from Euro NCAP, to manage an impressive 96% occupant safety rating. He managed this thanks to its impressive array of safety devices, including the car seat mounting points in the rear seats airbags, pop-up roll bars, a tire pressure monitoring system and two ISOFIX child. Of course it will also have features like traction control, anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control.
ileage should consider reasonably efficient and decent 1.4-liter TSI petrol SE model priced.
