Description
The 2016 Volkswagen Golf Match Edition BlueMotion 1.0 TSI 115 PS 6-speed Manual 5 Door is highly regarded for its impressive blend of efficiency and performance, a high-quality, refined interior, and a generous list of standard features for its trim level.
Engine and Performance Highlights
The 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged engine is a standout feature, praised for its surprising performance and refinement.
Smooth and quiet operation:
Reviewers from publications like Auto Express note that the engine operates incredibly smoothly and quietly, defying typical expectations for a three-cylinder unit.
Punchy yet efficient performance: The engine produces 115 PS and a healthy 200 Nm (148 lb ft) of torque, providing enough power for overtaking and accelerating from 0-60 mph in under 10 seconds. This performance is achieved alongside excellent fuel economy, with a claimed combined MPG of around 65.7 mpg.
Lightweight design:
The engine is approximately 15 kg lighter than an equivalent four-cylinder engine, which aids both fuel efficiency and handling.
Efficient manual gearbox:
The six-speed manual transmission is described as "slick-shifting," which makes it a good match for the engine and ideal for both town and motorway driving, enhancing the car's refined feel.
Match Edition Standard Equipment
The Match Edition trim replaces the previous SE and SE Nav specifications and adds significant equipment as standard, offering great value for money.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC):
This radar-controlled system automatically adjusts speed to maintain a set distance from the vehicle in front, and includes Front Assist and City Emergency Braking systems for added safety.
Discover Navigation system:
This touchscreen navigation system comes with pre-loaded European map data, three route options (Fast, Short, Eco), and three years of Car-Net 'Guide and Inform' online services.
Parking sensors: Both front and rear parking sensors are included, making maneuvering easier.
Automatic lights and wipers:
Features such as rain sensors, an automatically dimming interior rearview mirror, and an automatic coming/leaving home lighting function are standard.
Interior and Ride Comfort:
The car's interior quality and ride comfort are consistent with the Golf's premium reputation, regardless of the trim level.
High-quality cabin:
The dashboard uses upmarket materials and has an ergonomic layout, with controls positioned ideally for the driver.
Comfortable ride:
The suspension offers a comfortable and stable ride at any speed, absorbing most broken road surfaces effectively.
Practicality:
It offers good boot space (380 litres) and plenty of cabin storage solutions, making it a highly practical family car.
