As a motoring journalist, Ian Fitzpatrick gets to drive lots of cars. The 2018 Volkswagen Golf R is one that leaves him a bit fuzzled.
Is the €81,000 Volkswagen Caravelle the ultimate road tripper? I take it to the West of Ireland to find out.
The 2017 Volkswagen Golf has been given a new 1.0TSI petrol engine and we reckon it could be the pick of the bunch.
"In some ways, the Up! is to the city car segment what the Fiesta is to the supermini segment. It's the most fun, and most engaging to drive. The car has a nicely presented interior, but needs to spruce up a bit in there to be as nice as the Picanto."
The Beetle always had a quirkiness to it that would throw you back to the days of Herbie. But the new body, with the R-Line kit and the new colour options, really add a certain degree of muscle to the Bug.
It's easy to see why the Golf is such a seller. It's good looking, practical, and there's one for everyone in the audience. This week I made a trip that covered over 1,100km - my machine of choice was the new Volkswagen Golf Estate.
