The Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI SE, registered in 2009, is a practical car with only two previous owners and a clear vehicle history check. The SE trim includes Air Conditioning Climatic semi Automatic Control, but helpfully allows you to delete Air Conditioning if you prefer.

The Golf has a large boot space, making it more practical than similar vehicles. It also accelerates from 0-62mph in 9.5 seconds, which means it's quicker off the mark than many comparable cars.
