The Appeal

When you need a car that can handle a B road with the same aplomb as it can handle the school run, the Volkswagen Golf GTI has always been the answer.

True to form, this 2011 four-door Mk6 is a brilliant all-rounder with a six-speed DSG gearbox that can be as relaxed or as aggressive as befits the occasion. In right-hand drive and imported from Japan, this car is now ready to be registered in Europe and enjoyed.
