Volkswagen are now in the sixth generation of their incredibly popular hatchback series, and with many people now looking to downsize their large vehicles to reduce emissions and running costs, these smaller cars are set to become even more popular in the future.

The new petrol version of the Golf 1.6S is now on the forecourts, and VW have built on the strengths of their previous hatchbacks and even managed to refine several important aspects to ensure the new generation Golf appeals to even more car buyers. If you live in the London (Ontario) area, and are looking to buy the latest 1.6S, then you can visit Dalmar Motors Limited and Leavens Volkswagen, the main London Ontario car dealerships for Volkswagen, which both stock many of latest models.

Economy
Volkswagen’s 1.4-litre TSI turbocharged unit has been adapted to different outputs in the new Golf range, and the 1.6S has been tuned finely to maximise fuel efficiency without affecting the engine’s powerful performance. Because this is only a 1.6, and has good security and safety measures, it is also cheap to insure and this combined with the fuel efficiency means that the 1.6S is really a very cost effective car to run.

Costs
The brand new, standard Golf 1.6S is from around $18,000 from a dealer and there are some impressive, but very expensive optional extras that do add significant costs to the asking price.

Usability
Golf’s have always had a reputation for being roomy, practical small cars, and the new 1.6S is no exception, with a large spacious interior and plenty of storage space. The glove box also has a useful chill feature, which can be used to store food and drinks during a long trip. All of the dials and buttons are clear and easy to use, and the overall minimalist approach creates a pleasant, uncluttered driving environment.

Comfort
Volkswagen is committed to providing comfortable and refined vehicles, and the double window seals, sound damping and improved aerodynamics of the 1.6S all contribute to reducing road/wind noise. Other comfort features include supportive seating, vibration damping and semi- auto air conditioning as standard, even in the basic models

Safety and security
As mentioned above the security and safety features in the new 1.6S contribute to a lower insurance bracket, and these features including standard immobiliser, remote central locking and a secure glove box for small personal valuables. The 1.6S has an excellent 5 star safety rating, which has been achieved by the inclusion of a range of high quality passive and active features including an array of air bags, a whiplash restraint system and advanced ABS braking and ESP lock and traction control systems.

Design
Golf’s have a reputation for sleek, classy exterior and interior design, and the new 1.6S is no exception, with understated good looks and the refined, quality finish that VW are famous for.

Conclusion
The 1.6S is a practical, attractive and drivable small car, perfect for families and driving around town.
