Share This Post

German engineering! German build quality! German interiors! Anything with a “German” prefix is usually associated with performance, quality or desirability.

Our first ever long term test car is a 2010 Volkswagen CC, a gadget-filled and rather smart-looking sedan aimed more at executives than families.…

Road Test: 2010 Volkswagen CC V6

The Volkswagen CC loses its misleading Passat name and gains four-wheel drive and a 300bhp V6 engine. Which makes an already-good premium sedan even better.…

Road Test: 2009 Volkswagen Golf GTI

Share This Post

The 2009 Golf GTI starts off with a great advantage, being based on the standard, excellent Mk6 Golf. That more pedestrian Golf is itself a fantastic little car – well put together and great to drive, and the GTI continues that excellence. It takes the looks of the standard Golf…

The latest machine, the Mk6, follows the critically acclaimed Mk5, introduced in 2003, which itself followed…

2008 Volkswagen Passat V6

You might not realise that this new top-of-the-range, mid-size saloon car from Volkswagen is actually a rather exciting prospect, until you drive it! The Passat V6 FSI is like a powerfully-efficient secret agent in full and perfect disguise. On crowded Dubai streets, you might not notice this efficient performer amongst…
