Vehicle details
PROS Commodious luggage space Generous equipment levels Economical engines Under the Volkswagen Golf Estate's bonnet resides a wide range of turbocharged engines in both TSI petrol and TDI diesel forms. There are no great surprises with the Volkswagen Golf Estate, which is partly why it's one of our favourite secondhand load-luggers in the lower-medium family car segment. Essentially, it's a seventh-generation VW Golf with a bigger boot, so it's a better bet for families who require more carrying capacity and practicality than the regular medium-sized family hatchback can offer them. The finished result is one which shares a close family resemblance to the hatch, enjoying its high-quality, premium feel but with a less awkward rear end design than its predecessors.
