Should You Buy a WV Golf 1.4 TSI Bluemotion?

Volkswagen’s all-new, seventh-generation Golf went on UK sale with prices from £16,285. Is it worth your hard-earned cash? We’ve driven the 138bhp 1.4-litre petrol to find out.
After 39 years and 29 million Golf sales, VW has finally crashed its hatchback icon into the class above. The seventh generation is now so refined, so grown-up, so classy, that it leaves the likes of Ford’s Focus and Vauxhall’s Astra wheezing in its wake. Its new parking space? Slap bang in the middle of the pristine lawns of BMW, Mercedes and Audi. That’s because it’s based on remarkable new hardware, the VW Group’s ‘MQB’ chassis architecture, which also underpins Audi’s new A3 (and many Audis, Seats, Skodas and other VWs to come).
