More Accolades For the Volkswagen Golf Family Of Vehicles

2017 is already off to a great start for Volkswagen as its Golf family of vehicles receives some good news to bring in the New Year. Car and Driver Magazine has named the Golf, Golf Alltrack, Golf GTI, and Golf R to its 2017 “10 Best” list. The Golf was praised were versatility, dynamics and value.

From the Volkswagen Press Release:

“There are currently five different versions of the Golf for sale in all 50 states, a sweeping armada of excellence that includes three gas engines, front- or all-wheel drive, and wagon or hatch­­­back body styles,” said Car and Driver. “Attitudes range from the save-some-fuel base Golf to the kill-some-apexes Golf R. Volkswagen manages to imbue every trim level with the same understated feel, regardless of specification or price. All Golfs drive with a solid composure and predictability, with controlled body motions and the ride quality of a far more expensive machine.”

Going head to head with sixty other vehicles, the Golf family was measured on “value, performance and the ability to satisfy the comprehensive driving needs of the consumer.”  While Volkswagen is honored to be named as one of Car and Driver’s 10 best, this is certainly not the first time that Golf has received the nod. In fact, this is the eleventh consecutive year that Golf has made the cut.

Being named one of Car and Driver’s 10 best is the most recent honor for the Golf family. In 2016, Golf was one of a number of Volkswagen models to be named an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus. In 2015, the Golf GTE won a Techie award for “green development” in regards to hybrid innovation. Also in 2015, the Golf family was named as Motor Trend’s Car of the Year.
