It is time for the newest instalment in that beloved cinematic automotive YouTube experience where we film practical cars that can be bought for less than £1,000 in a manner befitting of their inexpensive value! This may go horribly wrong (and frequently does)...

This time, as we test a 2007 Volkswagen Golf Plus 1.4 Luna, I struggle up some hills in Somerset, find four overheard storage compartments in a row, demonstrate a trip to Ikea, do not show too much rust and drone on about very little of any importance at all. Nothing untoward, then...

As an independent vehicle consultant, I take potential buyers through the whole car buying process from choosing a make and model to a vehicle handover and road tax. In addition to information on this service, I also have a selection of written and video reviews of cars that I have owned, hired, borrowed or have somehow come into my possession. Please use the Contact Me page on my website to get in touch, visit my Facebook page for latest updates and share this video if you like it! Thank you for watching.

I really like these and still do. Unfortunately when I was looking for one all I could find was black pump powered examples, so well done for finding a 1.4 petrol. That 1.4 might not be the quickest in the world, but as seen here it's a reliable motor that can do high mileage. Another excellent review.

I don't usually prefer VW models but this was an excellent review of what is clearly a very practical car.

This car seems to be a peculiar fusion of hatchback and wagon with all the space. Not sure if it was sold in New Zealand but it works! Thanks again.

I had a 2005 1.9 TDI Golf Plus SE. I found it very economical and comfortable for my driving needs. I had a problem with the clutch around 18k miles what VW sorted out on warranty at the time. If I remember rightly they had to replace the clutch on it. The dealership at the time said there was a batch of faulty clutches what that car had fitted. (It used to judder when cold but soon as it warmed up it went away).

Would I have another one now for a cheap run about? Yes I would if could find a reasonable mileage one.

It’s a shame we didn’t get the cross golf plus - made the dull looks look somewhat decent

Very helpful thanks ! Is there a big difference between a 2005 Golf Plus and a 2007/2008 Golf Plus ?

Thanks for this interesting video. Three of my workmates own mid 2000s Volkswagens! 1.4 an interesting engine size, don't you think? Space is amazing! Did you say rust? You would get heaps of 2007 Volkswagens in New Zealand still in excellent condition. As a random aside have you considered doing a doco on the cars of Cracker? Saw an episode yesterday from 1993...Plenty of Cavaliers and a FWD Rover Police Car!

I’m about to buy a 2006 with 110k on clock. I’m slightly nervous that it might blow up 😅

It would of been ideal if the boxes were loaded behind the front passenger seat ?
