In its 35 odd years history VW has sold about 26 million Golfs making the car a sub icon mostly because there exists a Beetle. And yes along the way VW had its best sellers the likes of the Used Citi Golf and the Polo for sale still in most countries. But the original Golf is the most special.

Monday, February 9th, 2009What an Opel. Car of the year 2009 Europe
Monday, February 2nd, 2009It is as if Opel where going straight for the car of the year hour with their innovative Insignia, a car that beat Ford Fiesta to the prize by just one point. The sleek looker had to convince 20 of the total 59 jurors for first place while the Fiesta was just one shy with 19 journalists giving it first place.
Completing the top five was Golf 6 VW, C5 Citroen and MiTo Alfa Romeo. It is interesting to note that no BWM model has ever one car of the year while Mercedes Benz only managed on win way back in 1974. Models winning this award are to meet a number of criteria such as higher than average safety levels, technical innovation and fresh styling.
