The Volkswagen Golf is a car that has
become an automotive icon. Over in Europe the car defines a genre and
is the benchmark that others either follow or try to beat when
engineering a hatchback. However over here, things are just warming
up as any real Golf presence came about sometime after 2004 when the
Golf Mk5 was officially imported. Prior to this we had Auto Dunia
importing Volkswagens but somehow they must have done it wrong as not
many people were enraptured by Volkswagens. These days, there are
more Golfs than before and now in its Mk7 model, the current Golf
carries on the legacy (and whatever reputation the previous models
have; good or bad).
