Volkswagen Golf – An Inexplicable Enigma

It is a common belief that the Volkswagen Golf is the epitome of a cool car, style, performance and an impressive history of every firm in a very favorable with the general public. Since its introduction in 1974, the Golf has walked a precarious tightrope that the great engine, but at a reasonable price. When you put some thought into that, however, I must question the credibility of Golf. Let me take you through my thoughts and see if I can convince them.

I have nothing but memories of the Volkswagen Golf. My grandfather owned a dark blue 1984 Golf MkII was a big part of my childhood, the provision of transport for thousands of trips for many years. I remember the grunt of the engine, the sports body and smell of the little inside ... but that may have been because of my grandfather rather than a specification Volkswagen intentional. My point is that the VW Golf has a wonderful heritage, and certainly has a place in the heart of anyone who has spent time in one. The question is how can a car be associated with an elderly relative is never considered good?

In most circles, the VW Golf is recognized as environmentally sound as the car industry is going to get without resorting to the poor performance of hybrids, electric cars, which only reach the end of your drive before Conking or bio likely to fuel you shovelling tons of bovine excrement in his car. But since when it has been deemed environmentally sound engine cool? It may be important for the future of the planet, but it is certainly totally uncool. When the tree huggers have seemed more than layabouts, tussled hair, issues of personal hygiene.

In recent years every car manufacturer has begun producing hot hatchbacks and elegant superminis Volkswagen has reduced almost to zero singularity. The Vauxhall Corsa, Seat Ibiza, Toyota Aygo and Fiat 500 have all jumped on the bandwagon and have begun to pull part of the market share of VW. Perhaps it is only through the reputation that has the Golf remains one of the leading brands in this increasingly saturated market. Therefore, as the commission of some anti-cold clangers seems golf has lost almost all their individuality.

To finish, the German Volkswagen lineage almost sucks the Fonz does it? German engineering can be efficient and reliable, but it rarely makes your knees tremble with joy, or reduced to tears with his great exuberance. In any case, the German engine you in straight and narrow, we must arrive on time and does not entertain or intrigue in the way. So why Golf is considered a cool car?

The answer is essentially a mystery, like Aurora Borealis or the Bermuda Triangle ... just a cool car. There is no logical reason or recognition of the VW Golf, it's just a natural phenomenon that even the harsh struggle that boffins to explain. The Golf is the equation of aero-elasticity of the automotive world, an enigma that continues to baffle and mystify.

The Golf is not the best looking car in its field, nor is it the cheapest or best performing, but for some inexplicable reason, remains one of the most popular, desirable and coolest cars available. I know that I personally choose throughout their range of competitive prices ... I will never be able to explain why.
