About the New 2008 VW City Golf
|
"A compact car at a sub-compact price.-Driving.ca"
Motor Trend states,
"There's a reason VW/Audi are often benchmarked for interior design--they're that good."
"the City Golf will never cost more than $20,500. Admit it, this might very well be the deal of the year."
Auto123 ...."it proves to be an honest worker with a reputation of being tireless. "
Volkswagens do have a distinctive feel on the road, especially at highway speeds. They seem to "settle down" the faster you go.

So What Has Changed?
The 2008 Golf City comes in different colors than the 07 City and has had various cosmetic changes. New front grille, bigger tail lights and re-designed side-view mirrors. In addition is new instrument cluster and new upholstery for both the Golf and the Jetta. Further added is the option for a 6 speed automatic transmission reducing engine speed and increasing fuel economy.
