Car of the Month: Volkswagen Golf night driving

Do you remember when driving was all about pleasure? When the open road was yours and you could relax, feeling at one with your car? Well, now there’s a way to recapture that sense of freedom. Take a Night Drive in a Golf and see the world in a fresh new way.

Night time. The best time to drive.

Picture the scene. It’s the early hours of the morning and the road ahead is empty. You’re behind the wheel of your Golf with no reason to rush and nothing to hold you back. Now you can explore its full driving potential.

You probably won’t be thinking about the adaptive steering system or the multi-link rear suspension as you slip through the silent city streets. You’ll just tune in to the Golf’s agility, its precise handling and its beautifully supple ride. But it’s the sum of many things that makes Golf such an outstanding driving experience.

Feeling good

Inside the Golf the clean and simple layout of its stylish cabin means you can relax and enjoy the drive. All Golfs come with air conditioning to keep you comfortable as well as an adjustable driver’s seat and steering wheel. Just switch on the 4 speaker CD player and play some great driving music, as loud as you like!

The road is yours

Almost everyone else is sleeping. But all your senses are alive to the exhilaration of your journey as the Golf powers on. Whether you choose a the frugal 1.9 litre TDI engine, the innovative twin-charged TSI or a 2.0 diesel engine with 170ps you can be sure of great engine performance. And if you opt for the acclaimed DSG gearbox its dual clutch system will allow you to change gear more quickly than a manual and more smoothly than a conventional automatic.

Safe and secure

You can enjoy your night drive, knowing the Golf has a range of advanced technologies to protect you. Intelligent safety systems include ESP and ABS with Hydraulic Brake Assist to help control the car in critical driving situations. And if you have to brake suddenly, auto hazard lights are instantly activated, to notify traffic around you.
