Much of the Golf's goodness comes courtesy of a redesign last year.With Either trim levels, four-door models gain power-reclining front seats.The TDI models cans be equipped with xenon adaptive headlights, a premium Dynaudio sound system, a navigation system and (on four-door models), rear seat airbags. The base 2011 Volkswagen Golf 2.5L is powered by a 2.5-liter five-cylinder produces 170 horsepower and That 177 pound-feet of torque. Golf These models are classified as partial-zero-emissions vehicles (PZEV) Pls sold in states with California emissions standards. The EPA estimates fuel economy at 23 mpg city/30 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined for the automatic and 22/30/25 mpg for the manual. The Golf TDI receives a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel That puts out a modest but an impressive 140 hp 236 lb-ft of torque.

Unlike the old Golf cabrio, there's no basket-handle roll hoops; the new car's rollover hoops are hidden away Until needed, at the which time They deployed. Stylistically, the conversion from Golf hatchback to Cabriolet works well, with the top lowered virtually disappearing (and Leaving 8.8 cubic feet of cargo space) and nice clean lines around the remaining perimeter of the passenger compartment. We like this car. Since it is based upon the MkVI Golf, the new Golf Cabriolet largely resembles a two-door Golf with a missing top.

In Europe, Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet will of the offer with a plethora of engines, Including a 1.2-liter and a 1.4-liter I-4, along with a 1.6-liter turbodiesel I-4.
