2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI review
Take it from an existing Golf GTI owner – the new Mk8.5 is brilliant. It's as sharp as ever, and remains the benchmark all-round hot hatch.

More power, more finesse, and a much more liveable interior make the updated Volkswagen Golf GTI one to look forward to.

The most basic Volkswagen Golf in Australia is a terrific prospect for those after a classy conveyance with some great standard features.

The R-Line is the Volkswagen Golf you buy when you know you won’t ever indulge in those boy (or girl) racer tendencies.

2023 Volkswagen Golf R 20 Years review
The Golf R 20 Years packs unique looks, more power, and an Akrapovic exhaust. We drove it to see if it's a worthy birthday present.

2022 Volkswagen Golf R Wagon review
The second-gen Golf R Wagon is faster and more practical, but it's also much dearer and the cabin is a little... drab. Is it worth $70k?

The latest R-Line drives with the polish you'd expect of a Golf, but its high-tech interior feels a bit first-generation.

2022 Volkswagen Golf Wagon review
Not too big, not too small. The Volkswagen Golf Wagon won't sell in the same numbers as the hatch, but it'll make wagon devotees very happy.
