VW Golf Plug-in Hybrid

Now, could VW PLEASE just put a really nice stylish desirable body on it?, Though GTI pricing will totally kill it.

Well what a surprise, it's got five stars. What's the betting had it been from asia it would have been lucky to scrape 3 stars for being over priced, etc.

The prices you have shown are presumably for the existing range. A hybrid Golf at those prices would have Toyota in tears

99% of my journeys are under 25 miles everyday would mean l could run all year on cheap electric rather than use expensive Arab oils. Hybrid is a much more practical to own than a more expensive car that runs on electric only with range anxiety with lots of expensive batteries to replace.

With 140 MPG on long trips as well for a UK few holidays/short breaks it looks like the VW have got a bit of a winner on their hands. Agree with Brendan could do a bit better must try harder in the styling department the Mk1 & 2 Golfs were my favourite Golfs in their day.

Some cars like the Fiesta seem a little to claustrophobic in they rear don't care much about rear passengers these days my daughter 5ft 10' loved our old Mk2 Golf so choosing a car thats not claustrophobic in the back has always been important to me, the Golf has alway been a car thats been good for rear occupants, good driving dynamics and good build quality.

AE is a disgrace.

If it was anything else, except an Audi or BMW, it would have been three stars or less.

How can you say five stars for a prototype?

The sucking up to VW is sickening and its obvious that advertsing revenue means more than anything else

Richard I agree,

Almost as soon as Sam Hardy sat into the Fluence ZE it was negativity.

But we all know that to get a good idea of any of these car's is to arrange with your garage to rent the car, for a weekend to get a good idea of how it performs, any Auto journalist's reviews should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Good old VW coming up with a package to suit the average motorist who makes short journeys (electric power) whilst still able to make longer journeys of 100 miles plus without the range anxiety that comes with pure electric only vehicles.

Now all they have to do is bring the price down so that it becomes a genuine alternative to a diesel and fit the engine into cars with a taller roofline to suit drivers of above average height (6ft 7in here)

The plug-in hybrid story always seems to be about jam tomorrow! If your review doesn't include a firm date when the car can actually be bought and driven away, I'd like to hear a detailed explanation of how you trod upon the private parts of the company's PR person in order to try and extract said date...

And the best guess that you have been able to get.
