Just back from the west coast and from driving the new Golf TDI. VW is doing a good job here
2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI – First Look and Review
Quote:
Technically speaking, this is a second look. I spent a day with a Euro-spec Golf TDI eight months ago and, despite it being on sale in Europe since late 2012, it hasn’t yet arrived at U.S. dealerships.
It’s taken so long because it’s being built in Puebla, Mexico (alongside the new Beetles and Jettas) for the U.S. market. On a beautiful late spring day in San Francisco, I took the wheel of a U.S. spec Golf TDI and started driving.
The route, across the Bay Bridge and through Berkeley, led me past some rare urban wildlife (I saw a wolf running down the side of the road and later on a deer ran in front of the car – all in Berkeley) but reinforced my first impression of the car, more than half a year ago, that VW is offering the most refined Golf since it was launched as the successor to the Beetle in 1974. Yes, it’s been around that long.....
