PROS: The Bluemotion's engine is incredibly efficient, so running costs will be ultra low.
CONS: The Golf Plus range doesn't hold its value as well as the regular Golf hatchbacks. It's also quite expensive, so if the efficient engine doesn't get enough mileage, it might not pay for itself.
The Golf Plus delivers an excellent driving experience and is a lot of fun, with sharp and responsive handling. The ride is a smooth and comfortable one, and most notably much more refined than that of its predecessor, with very little noise intrusion. The car also deals with most potholes and road imperfections fairly well.
However the engine can be slightly noisier than the standard Golf and there is a little more body roll.

The Volkswagen Golf Plus SE 1.6 TDI BlueMotion Technology 5dr is a fantastic option for families who require extra space over the regular Golf hatchback. It is priced fairly competitively against rivals and represents good value for money.
The car produces 114 g/km of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption is minimal performing an average of 65.7 mpg, so running costs will be very low and this definitely makes the model an appealing prospect for those who clock up a fair amount of mileage.
The car also comes with a good level of kit, so although the Golf Plus is more expensive than the regular Golf, if you need that extra boot space this is a great option.
