  • VW Golf 2.0 TDI 140 DSG (2009) review

    Price:  £20,550

    23 September 2008 by Anthony ffrench-Constant

    Despite the residue of hundreds of kilted Scottish football supporters who were far too sloshed to find the airport after the World Cup qualifying match – and, for that matter, probably still are...

  • VW Golf 1.4 TSI (2009) review

    Price:  £14,500

    08 September 2008 by Georg Kacher

    This is the first drive of VW’s new-but-same-again Mk6 Golf, a car brought forward from 2010 to 2008 to counteract slow sales and a costly and lengthy build process. But with only mildly revised looks...

  • VW Touareg R50 (2008) review

    Price:  £62,015

    08 August 2008 by Tim Pollard

    A bit of a conundrum, this. How can a 2.6-tonne 4x4 put the Sport back into SUV? Volkswagen reckons the R50 Touareg is the answer – a tweaked-up version of its luxury 4x4. Except here, the emphasis is...

  • VW Golf Bluemotion 1.9 TDI 5dr (2008) review

    Price:  £16,140

    08 July 2008 by Dan Trent

    Blue is the new green and Volkswagen's eco-friendly line-up continues to grow. Alongside the Polo and Passat, the Golf has now had the Bluemotion treatment – but at what price? If you want that silver...

  • VW Passat 1.9 Bluemotion (2008) review

    Price:  £18,450

    24 June 2008 by Richard Aucock

    The Passat Bluemotion is part of a burgeoning range of eco-Volkswagens. The Polo Bluemotion started things off, but it is the dearer, more mainstream stuff  - like the Passat - that will make VW...

  • VW Passat R36 (2008) review

    Price:  £30,990

    29 May 2008 by Ben Barry

    This is Volkswagen’s most powerful production Passat yet - the new R36, a car that trumps the last generation’s unloved W8 in the power stakes. Big deal, you might think, but bear with us. For £30,990...

  • Volkswagen Phaeton car review, front picture

    VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI (2008) review

    Price:  £43,515

    19 May 2008 by Glen Waddington

    The Volkswagen Phaeton is overshadowed by the Audi A8 as VAG’s luxury car and, for some, that could be its allure. If you’re interested in space and comfort more than style and glamour, the Volkswagen...

  • VW Passat CC (2008) review

    Price:  £21,000

    11 April 2008 by Anthony ffrench-Constant

    No, the VW Passat CC isn't a folding tin-top elder bother for the Eos... Nomenclature connotations of Coupe/Cabriolet are entirely misleading. CC first stood for Concept Coupe when the show car was...
