Volkswagen Golf Plus 2008 Overview
Volkswagen has expanded its model spectrum with a new Golf-based weirdo called the Golf Plus. With added extras in terms of bodywork and seating height, it is essentially a tall Golf. This allows cabin space that rivals many small 4WD offerings, all in a small exterior. There is even a CrossGolf variant of this model, with 20 mm extra ground clearance and tough-looking plastic body cladding, but it is still really a front-driven hatchback. The clever interior fittings include a rear seating system which can be shifted lengthwise by means of a new folding kinematic system. This method automatically causes the seating area to be lowered as soon as the backs of the asymmetrically adjustable, divisible seats have been folded down, resulting in a nearly level storage area. The possibility to integrate the optional CD-changer or DVD player from the Volkswagen Individual range is available. Apart from ESP and various airbags, other standard features include LED tail-lights, power windows and various other electric bits. Engines for the Plus currently include a 1.6-litre and a 2.0-litre, both four-cylinder and both available with either a manual or an automatic. The CrossGolf only gets the 1.6-litre engine.
Volkswagen Golf Plus 2008 Reliability & Resale Value
Reliability | |
---|---|
Resale Value | |
Known Problems | Over-sensitive auto-headlight and wiper rain sensors are considered normal. Various squeaks and rattles develop within warranty period, most from cabin trim but some from suspension components. Stereo, radiator fans, door seals and steering rack all known to fail. Early models have ignition coil failure, just like previous-generation models, so some owners carry extra ignition coils to avoid getting stranded. Some report that radio may turn on and drain battery even when parked. Check for ABS fault warning light. |
