Volkswagen Automotive Legends

Volkswagen golf / Rally cars for saleVW Golf GTI do you have one? Over the years the Golf GTI has changed its shape many times, but has it improved or could the car worse nowadays? So you can all agree that the Golf engine has some decent numbers but the question is will it really do the job when it is on the road. Inside the Golf you can have the choice of leather or material id say a lot of people will go for leather just because it makes the car so much better for looks and when you try to sell it. When you think of Volkswagen you will most likely think of the classic beetle since it is the car that really introduced the Volkswagen logo around the world. The first Volkswagen car was designed in 1934 by Ferdinand Porsche as a method of cheap reliable transport. Through the years VW have become a global force in the manufacturing sector getting bigger and bigger with every new design. Not to long after the beetle had been created and unveiled the Golf was released.


It was over 35 years ago when the Volkswagen Golf first made its appearance and it has been a consistently popular seller ever since. The Brand New Volkswagen Golf Mark VI comes with a choice of four petrol engines and three diesel engines. My personal pick of the bunch is the twin-charged 1.4Litre Petrol which produces 160Bhp which is phenomenal for a car of this size. Driving this car is unlike the experience of the previous model Golf (the Mark V), as it adds an element that its predecessor was lacking slightly; excitement. Other than the GTi models, the Golf has never been considered an exciting drive. It has been described as safe, comfortable, economic and ecological but never exciting. The supercharged and turbocharged 1.4 litre engine feels raw, edgy and above all, powerful. All of a sudden the VW Golf seems al lot less British after all. Essentially, the Volkswagen Golf Mk VI has retained everything that the consuming public loved about the car since its initial inception, but they have been treated to a few added extras now. The Golf is still safe, comfortable, economical and ecological, but now it has the capability to force your head back into the headrest and leave you with a silly schoolboy grin on your face. Although the Golf has evolved into the consummate city car, if you take the new Golf out onto country lanes, you will see why I can say with confidence that this is the most impressive the Golf has ever been.


During the time of Christ, golfers used wooden golf balls and wooden golf clubs made from the hickory tree. Then, in the early 1600s, the featherie golf ball was invented. The featherie golf ball was a hand sewn cowhide bag stuffed with goose feathers and painted. Because it flew so beautifully, it lasted for 200 years. In 1848 Reverend Doctor Robert Adams hardened the sap of the gutta percha tree into latex and invented the gutta percha golf ball, which replaced the featehrie golf ball from 1850 until 1900, when rubber took over. The rubber balls lasted until 1930. Todays balls have a titanium metal core with many layers of surlyn and balata coverings. Golf club shafts evolved from hickory tree wood with persimmon tree heads to steel shafts and now to graphite shafts with very large titanium heads. Despite the incredible advances in golf club and golf ball technology, the handicaps of male and female golfers have not gone down, according to noted author and custom club fitter Steven Passarell.


How could this be? Here is the answer. Famed Psychiatrist and 9 Handicap Sigmund Freud explained the human ego: “The human ego is the part of the cerebellum concerned most with feeling like a great human being. 500 for added distance off the tee. Their first clue was when golfers in the long drive competition would throw down their driver after their massive hit, and beat their chests with both fists, like the apes with which humans have 99% the same DNA. From the time of Jesus Christ until the time of Jack Nicklaus, scientists knew that the exactly perfect length for the mens driver was 43”. It didnt matter how tall you were because God gave taller players longer arms. 5 golf ball in the trees yet? The pros have their clubs custom made. You arent using the same clubs they are. Only the label is the same. Speaking of Jesus, the X factor golf swing has been heralded as a way to improve your distance. It means that you keep your left heel down, make a tiny hip turn and a big shoulder turn to hit the ball farther. The surgeon recommends letting it come up even farther to save your back. Harry Vardons came up about 5 inches. Jesus recommended three. There is no need to sacrifice your back in your quest for added length off the tee. Try a longer driver, or a new golf psychologist. The only people not benefiting from these long shafts are the golfers. Everyone else, the whole golf industry, is laughing all the way to the bank.

An airy, smartly crafted interior makes its own deluxe statement, with no trace of the cost-cutting that once marred the Jetta. A 5.8-inch touch screen is standard. One change appears small, but sums up the advances: The Golf ditches VW’s awkward rotary seatback-adjuster knob, the wrist-wrenching bane of VWs for decades. The gasoline-powered Golf banishes its aging 2.5-liter in-line 5-cylinder for a 1.8-liter direct-injected TSI turbo 4 that’s more powerful even as it sips less fuel — up to 20 percent less. It combines 170 horsepower and a class-thumping 200 pound-feet of torque with an E.P.A. 25 m.p.g. in the city, 36 on the highway (up from 23/30). Those figures apply to the 6-speed automatic transmission; an available 5-speed manual does 1 m.p.g. The TDI gets a new quiet-running 2-liter turbodiesel that makes 150 horsepower and 236 pound-feet. The TDI now carries an onboard tank of urea, a pollution-fighting fluid, to meet coming emissions standards. The TDI also trades the gas version’s conventional automatic transmission for a dual-clutch 6-speed DSG automated manual. So equipped, the Golf TDI is rated at 31/43 m.p.g., or 30/45 with the 6-speed manual. But forget the official story. The E.P.A.’s crazy fudge-factoring of fuel economy tests has forced Ford, for one, to reduce its hybrid mileage ratings. Yet while the E.P.A. ’ real-world economy. In my testing, the TDI effortlessly delivered 50 to 53 m.p.g. I cruised at 65 to 70 miles per hour and passed dawdlers at will. And in an admittedly Prius-like run, holding at a resolute 55 m.p.h., the TDI sipped at a wallet-friendly 60 m.p.g.
