2015 Volkswagen Golf review

1. Plenty of interior space 

Even the tallest adult passengers will find themselves easily fitting into the rear seats of the 2015 Volkswagen Golf. That’s because there’s 116.3 cu-ft of passenger space, including 35.6 inches of legroom and 38.1 inches of headroom in the second-row seats. Plus, the 2015 Volkswagen Golf has an impressive 22.8 cu-ft of trunk space, more than enough for the luggage or gear you need to bring along. 

2. Turbocharged engines 

The available engine options in the 2015 Volkswagen Golf deliver strong acceleration and good highway performance. For example, the base 1.8L turbocharged four-cylinder engine has 170 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque available low in the engine rpm, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Or, the available turbocharged 1.8L diesel engine with even more torque, at 236 lb-ft, stretches out the miles between trips to the pump and is paired with a six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic is standard on gas SE and SEL trims, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic is available for TDI models. 

3. Go further between fill-ups 

Enjoy less time at the pumps and more time cruising in the 2015 Volkswagen Golf. That’s because both engine options have impressive EPA-estimated fuel economy. The 2015 Volkswagen Golf, with the turbocharged 1.8L engine and manual transmission, gets an EPA-estimated 36 mpg highway and 25 mpg highway.

4. Seats with lasting comfort 

As comfortable as they are spacious, the seating in the 2015 Volkswagen Golf is soft and supportive. The wide seats are firm enough to support you during tight turns but don’t feel hard after prolonged use. Plus, the soft materials and adjustable seats with lumbar support let you find the right position and help improve overall comfort. 

5. As fun as it is functional 

Add some fun back into your daily commute in the 2015 Volkswagen Golf. That’s partly thanks to the peppy engine options like the turbocharged gas engine, which gets from zero to 60 mpg in 7.8 seconds (when new). Or, enjoy composed handling in tight corners thanks to the sport-tuned suspension and responsive steering. Finally, look for the 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI with a dual-clutch automatic transmission for even snappier gear shifts.
