At one stage, if you wanted a Golf-platformed car such as the Tiguan in right-hand drive, you could buy only diesel. After Dieselgate, VW hastily reversed its policy. In terms of engine size, you may want to take the Goldilocks approach. The middle-of-the-range petrol 1.5-litre T-Roc comes with a stress-free DSG auto gearbox in SE trim for 拢24,210 (in the snazzy R-Line trim 鈥?with oversized wheels 鈥?it鈥檚 拢28,455). If that price seems high, it鈥檚 worth noting that a comparable Nissan Qashqai 鈥?the bestseller in this class 鈥?costs about the same. If you choose the DSG version, the T-Roc will shift gears snappily and pull away smoothly from standstill. The engine has gusto when you want it on B-roads and is unobtrusive on A-roads. It鈥檚 not a low-slung hot hatch, mind, so it鈥檚 never going to corner and accelerate like a GTI. This is a Golf that鈥檚 grown up and bought a home, rather than one that spends nights on the tiles.
If you鈥檙e less worried about performance than running costs and carbon dioxide emissions, then the diesel 1.6 TDI SE at 拢23,040 is for you. All models come with safety systems such as forward collision warning and emergency braking. Adaptive cruise control is standard on the SE and pricier versions. These are should-have, if not must-have, electronic lookouts, especially if you drive long distances. They are co-pilots that never tire of keeping a safe distance between you and the traffic in front. That doesn鈥檛 mean they鈥檙e a substitute for staying alert, but they鈥檝e proved their worth in accident prevention, in the way that seatbelts and antilock braking did. On rivals from the VW stable such as the Karoq, adaptive cruise control costs 拢300 extra. If you want fancy add-ons on the T-Roc, a panoramic sunroof costs 拢1,080, and there鈥檚 four-wheel drive at 拢1,690. It鈥檚 good for slippery roads, or overflow parking in a field, but this isn鈥檛 an off-road vehicle. It may look pumped up, but it鈥檚 not heavy-duty, and there鈥檚 not enough ground clearance for proper mud-plugging. There will be those who ask why the world needs another soft-roader. Well, here鈥檚 why. The higher driving position is an advantage on busy roads, and the ease of access is important if you鈥檙e a back-pain sufferer or a parent with young children. Or just someone who has to haul around shopping and other paraphernalia. With the lives people lead these days, those things matter. Welcome, then, to the most grown-up Golf of the range, the X-Cross.
You can make it louder, make it stiffer, or add your own 19-inch wheels (an option in Europe where road surfaces are better) but you risk giving up some civility that makes the GTI an everyday driver or interstate cruiser. Although the GTI is front-wheel drive, it does not suffer from torque-steer like the MazdaSpeed3. The GTI seems able to put down full power under almost any circumstance. The steering is direct, nicely weighted and transmits a good idea what the front tires are doing, and the brakes are responsive and stable. Some of the competition may post higher cornering limits or braking distances but the margins won't be substantial and they all cost more. The Volkswagen GTI is fun to drive while offering the practical versatility of a hatchback, decent operating economy, and a compact footprint. For enthusiasts with a budget for just one car that has to do everything you'd be hard-pressed to find fault with it.
