Sufficiently nimble with 130 HP
The temperament is completely sufficient, far more important for Most customers should be the fact that the modified four-cylinder, like the 1.4-liter predecessor, goes to work in an extremely cultivated manner. It is unfortunate that the seven-speed dual clutch transmission (surcharge 2,025 euros, standard for the 150 PS TSI) - unlike in the conventional Golf - does not have a sailing function in eco mode and therefore does not disengage when coasting.

The high-roof Golf is ideally suited for leisurely gliding, the chassis ironing even rough bumps largely smoothly even without the adaptive dampers (DCC), which are available for an extra charge. At the same time, the Sportvan shows on a winding road that it is a Golf: safe to drive and more agile than most passengers would like, although strong seats keep them from sliding around. That there are no fully digital instruments or wiping indicators for the Sportsvan as there are for the conventional Golf - free. Sportsvan customers are not suspected of doing any fashionable frippery anyway.
