Is a used Volkswagen Golf the right choice for you?

The Volkswagen Golf seems to hold a special place in UK driver’s hearts. Much-loved and with an appeal which has endured since it was first launched; the VW Golf is multi-talented and has a classy look and feel which makes it a much sought-after used car. The word ‘iconic’ is overused these days, but the VW Golf is a true icon; sit in a used VW Golf and you’ll notice the exceptional build quality, the materials which seem to ooze a timelessness and upmarket feel and with so many variations available there’s bound to be the perfect used Volkswagen Golf out there to suit you.

Big enough for a family, yet small enough for nipping around town, the Golf has something to offer most drivers; from the raw power of the Golf R to the silence of the e-Golf and all points in-between. For city driving, it provides easy, nimble parking and is the perfect size for narrow and congested roads. With a roomy boot that’ll swallow most prams, buggies, gym kits and golf clubs, a used Golf offers exceptional quality at an affordable price and thus it continues to be one of the UK’s most desirable used cars.

Used Volkswagen Golf Finance

Getting a second hand Golf on finance is an option to consider if you can’t, or don’t want to, part with the full price of the vehicle upfront. At our VW dealerships we offer PCP and HP options across our used Volkswagen Golf’s, PCP generally has lower monthly payments, but you have the option to give the car back at the end or pay the final payment, whereas HP spreads the cost of the car more evenly, with no big payment at the end.

Engines & Performance

The Volkswagen Golf offers a diverse range of engines designed to suit every type of driver, from economical commuters to performance enthusiasts. Entry-level models typically feature efficient petrol engines like the 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre TSI units, which balance strong fuel economy with responsive performance for everyday driving. The 1.5 TSI, in particular, is available with mild-hybrid technology in newer models, helping reduce emissions and improve start-stop efficiency. For those covering higher mileages, the 2.0-litre TDI diesel engines deliver excellent torque and long-distance comfort, making them a popular choice for motorway users.

Performance-focused trims bring even more to the table. The legendary Golf GTI is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine, offering sharp acceleration and agile handling, while the GTE pairs a petrol engine with plug-in hybrid technology—ideal for those wanting GTI-like performance with lower running costs. For maximum thrills, the Golf R sits at the top of the range, delivering over 300PS through a 4MOTION all-wheel drive system, making it one of the most capable hot hatches on the market. With such a broad lineup, the Golf’s engine range ensures there’s a perfect fit for every lifestyle and driving preference.
