The Golf MK7 maybe a bit of a yawn when it comes down to the styling, maybe not as exciting as the quirky Leon or not providing the feeling of luxury you get when in an Audi A3 but with 19 variants on offer, all built to a high standard, the Golf is still the epitome of the phrase “It does everything well”
The Mexican made Golf Mk7, has offered that feeling of dependability not only through reputation but also through the plethora of safety kit on offer. Customers can choose to further the already 5 star NCAP winning model by opting for nifty features like adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition and driver fatigue detection, the latter of which we’d recommend if opting for the 85 BHP BlueMotion version.
Like most new models released, it’s a little longer and wider than the car it replaced; keeping it’s foothold as the practical hatch that is a no-brainer for family buyers and when fitted with ACC (Adaptive Chassis Control), this conservative looking vehicle can rival comfort levels found only in executive saloons.
All those shocks and bumps that this seventh incarnation is so famous of soaking up must go somewhere and that somewhere is the neat suspension setup shaped to the well-known MQB chassis, the combination of which overcomes potholed back roads.
This is where most customers have found the biggest maintenance costs and is thankfully an area that FAI have recognised and developed.
FAI have 30+ steering and suspension part numbers ready for next day delivery along with comprehensive engine solutions.
