Why it stands out
The 2016 Volkswagen Golf stands out as a compact performance hatch that blends everyday usability with serious capability. In this generation, Volkswagen gave it a turbocharged 2.0-liter TSI engine rated at 296 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, along with 4Motion all-wheel drive. For 2016, a six-speed manual transmission became standard, while a seven-speed DSG transmission was available as an option. That combination makes it quick and confident, but still approachable in the way a Golf should be.
It is also unusually well equipped for the class. Standard features include a touchscreen infotainment system, heated and electrically adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, Bluetooth connectivity, keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, bi-xenon headlights, and a rear-view camera. Volkswagen also added XDS electronic differential lock as standard, and the car’s Driving Mode Selection system offers Normal, Individual, and Race settings. Buyers who wanted more comfort and adjustability could choose DCC adaptive damping, which brought its own trim level and added features such as 19-inch alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors, a Fender premium audio system, and navigation.
The 2016 Volkswagen Golf is appealing because it feels like a well-rounded hot hatch rather than a stripped-down performance car. It has a more purposeful stance than the earlier version, and its equipment level is high enough to make it feel upscale. The tradeoff is that fuel economy is only described as mid-20s combined mpg, and the model’s reliability record includes coolant leaks and water pump failures, so a careful inspection still matters.
