Used Volkswagen XL1 2013-2016 review

VW's new 313mpg hybrid points the way to making cars cheaper to use, even if this limited run model feels more like a proof of concept than an early look at the future

Used Volkswagen Golf GTD 2013-2020 review

The VW Golf GTD's facelift improves on the Golf's usual charm and adds a tad of dynamic appeal – but it still lacks the edge shown by the Ford Focus ST

Used Volkswagen California 2005-2015 review

The Caravelle-based Volkswagen California camper offers a clever and cost-effective combination of family transport and accommodation. And it needn’t be motorhome-beige

Used Volkswagen Scirocco R 2009-2017 review

Used Volkswagen Golf GTI 2009-2012 review

The Volkswagen Golf GTI costs more than an equivalent Scirocco. Is it worth it?

Used Volkswagen Eos 2006-2014 review

The Volkswagen Eos has much cachet and is pleasant and predictable to drive, but is feeling a little bit long-in-the-tooth

Used Volkswagen Eos 2006-2014 review

Used Volkswagen Golf R 2010-2012 review

The Volkswagen Golf R is based on the Audi S3, but is rated below it due to less standard equipment and extra cost

The Volkswagen Touran has a good chassis but little inspiration and a bland appearance

Used Volkswagen Phaeton 2003-2015 review

The Volkswagen Phaeton’s decade-old platform needs more than a tweak to be a success in the luxury car market

Used Volkswagen Jetta 2010-2018 review

The Volkswagen Jetta has a big boot, pleasant dynamics and good pricing, but is a bit dull

Used Volkswagen Beetle 2011-2019 review

The Volkswagen Beetle is only the third all-new model since the original launched in 1938. It is based on the Mk6 Golf, but the base car is far better

Used Volkswagen Beetle 2011-2019 review

Used Volkswagen Passat 2011-2014 review
