For over two decades the Golf has epitomised Volkswagen’s philosophy – to build cars that are the perfect synthesis of reliability, style, safety and performance. The result is a car that offers a value-for-money specification matched by few vehicles in its class. It’s, therefore, no surprise to learn that the Golf is Europe’s number one best-selling car. And the latest Golf is even better. Yet, reassuringly, such extensive improvements have been achieved whilst retaining the Golf’s classic external silhouette. 6 7 Model shown is S fitted with optional 15" ‘Avus II’ alloy wheels.

People of the Beetle Generation sit up and take notice when they hear it today. They are strangely touched, experience melancholy, as though remembering something long since lost. It is a sound as unmistakable as the Beetle's silhouette: it buzzes, it putters - all against a background of soothing fan noises – a feeling of euphoria which has underscored our mobility for decades and which was the accompaniment for our independence and for growing prosperity during those years. Beginning in the late 1940's and continuing into the early 1980's, the unmistakable noise of the Beetle left its mark on the sound backdrop of German streets. And in other places, as well, the air-cooled Beetle Boxer was the lead instrument in the noisy traffic concert. This is why Volkswagen advertising from the Doyle Dane Bernbach (DDB) agency at the end of the 1960's, advertising that is already legendary today, was titled „What the world loves about Germany"; it included a colorfully mixed collection of pictures: Heidelberg, a cuckoo clock, sauerkraut with dumplings, Goethe, a dachshund, the Lorelei – and a Beetle.
