Volkswagen is known for making attractive, unique vehicles, and the Volkswagen Golf satisfies on both counts. Plus, this four-door car is surprisingly affordable and has plenty of excellent standard features, including a wonderful sound system and plenty of infotainment features as well. Explore the rest of this vehicle’s specs to decide if it’s a good choice for you.
GENERAL SPECS
This car may look small, but it actually has enough room inside for up to five people, making it an excellent choice for a family vehicle.
It also gets great gas mileage, and drivers can expect around 29 MPG for city driving and 35 MPG for highway driving. Thus, considering the reasonable asking price and the fact that you can save money on fuel throughout the car’s life, you’ve really got a great, affordable vehicle on your hands!

STEERING DETAILS
Showcasing a curb to curb turning diameter of 35.8 feet and rack-pinion steering, the Volkswagen Golf is effortless to handle.

You’ll speed along the highway with front and rear tires sized at P205/55HR16 and a front wheel size of 16 X 6.5 inches. A compact spare tire is also included just in case you experience a flat, though with strong tires like these, that’s very unlikely.
