The road is yours

9:44am Friday 15th August 2008

Five generations, 34 years and over 26 million vehicles after the original first went on sale, the sixth generation of the Golf has been unveiled. The new model continues the evolution of an icon. The new Golf is the safest, most technically advanced and most dynamic iteration yet. Not only does the new Golf promise great value, but it aims to set benchmarks in quality, style, safety and the reduction of emissions. Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board, Volkswagen AG, commented: ‘This sixth generation of Golf cars will completely redefine the quality and comfort level of its class over broad categories, offering more customer value than ever before.’ Instantly apparent in the sixth generation of Golf is a sharply defined look that draws on the new design direction established by the Scirocco. Klaus Bischoff, Head of Design for the Volkswagen brand led the team responsible for the shape of the new car, overseen by Volkswagen Group’s head of design, Walter de Silva. ‘It is more accentuated than its predecessor with precisely defined lines and edges and with finely proportioned flared surfaces and recesses,’ commented de Silva.

Choosing the right car

9:28am Friday 15th August 2008

IT'S EASY to be tempted by a sexy advert, a scorching 0-60mph time or the image that goes with a certain set of wheels. Before you sign on the dotted line there is a lot to consider when buying a car. Making the right choice could save you time and money, plus you’ll be spending a lot of time with your new purchase so getting it right is important. DECISIONS, DECISIONS: There’s no good drooling over a two-seat Mercedes SLK if you're planning a family, while a Citroen C5 Tourer might prove a bind if you live on your own in a busy street with tight parking.
