Purchased the VW Golf 103TDI Comfortline Wagon a few weeks ago. I am quite happy with it.

I love the Diesel and DSG combination. Very smooth shifting but it takes a bit of getting used to.

The economy of the diesel is superb, I hit a 4.9L/100km heading out to Melbourne airport and had averaged 5.0L when I got home. Around town, low 6's to 7's. The engine has quite a bit of poke too. It is quite quick, but quiet (almost petrol quiet) and smooth as well. Just how I like it.

I have come from driving another German brand to this and I am still getting used to the ergonomics. I find the cruise control a bit fiddly at first and logos on buttons a bit small. The seats don't have the adjustment that im used to and aren't as wide as im used to. If you're a wider person, make sure you find the seats to your liking first.

The wagon has a triple layer boot floor. Lowest level, a full sized spare, then another compartment on top of that, then the floor on top of that. Shopping bag hooks are handy and two luggage barriers are great for safety.

I recommend the Golf Wagon for those who want a Golf but want more space. It's a fantastic practical car that is super efficient as well.

Carmooch That's a terrific fuel consumption figure! I think people too often underestimate just how frugal small diesels can be - definitely a worthy alternative to any hybrid!

Myles Harris I think so as well. I think we should be exploring what engines we have. Look at what is being done with small capacity engines with air charging tech like the VW TSI engine. I don't think electric cars that transfer their energy consumption to the electricity grid is solving any problems. Complimentary hybrids, especially Hydrogen make more sense.

Carmooch Exactly right. Electric cars are too much "out of sight, out of mind" in regards to their carbon emissions.
