Playing with the new Golf
Saturday, February 28th, 2009
The new hatchback from Volkswagen, the Volkswagen A6 Golf may look like a toy, but it packs a good punch for something so small. Taking their popular compact to the next level, the designers and engineers at VW have taken the already great Golf concept and made it better. Now added are buffed up interiors that can go toe to toe with even the high end interiors of luxury cars. With a width of 70 inches and a length 165.3 inches, the standard A6 Golf comes equipped with a six gear transmission and a 1,968cc, 2.0-liter TDI engine. The wheel base is 101.5 inches with 18 inch wheels. Not bad. The glass has also been made thicker, and has PVB acoustic film that is 0.1mm-thick. The people of VW are particularly proud of the adaptive chassis control system, which adjusts to the required setting of the driver.
