The Volkswagen Golf has always been the safe choice — the “I want something sensible but don’t want to look boring” option. But this isn’t just any Golf. This is the R-Line. Which means it’s like wearing a tailored suit to the supermarket — the same practicality, but with a lot more presence. Under the bonnet is VW’s clever 1.4 TSI ACT engine — it’ll happily do the school run all week sipping fuel, then open up on a Sunday and make you grin like a fool. You can expect around 58 mpg, it’s ULEZ compliant, and it sits in insurance group 19, so you won’t need to auction off your belongings to pay for cover. Spec-wise, this one’s loaded: Navigation so you can find your way even if the sat nav voice is judging your every wrong turn Front and rear parking sensors so you can slot it into any space without sweaty palms Alloys that make it look far more expensive than it is Adaptive cruise control, which is basically like having a very calm co-pilot who never argues It’s been properly maintained too, with services at: 10,441 miles 20,574 miles 26,933 miles 29,787 miles 42,448 miles 58,817 miles 73,004 miles 75,040 miles 82,166 miles We’ll service it again before sale So here’s what you’re getting: a sharp-looking, economical, well-equipped Golf that can do sensible commuter car Monday to Friday and then turn into a fun, punchy hatchback at the weekend. In short — the perfect all-rounder, but with a streak of mischief.
