WhatCar? honours Golf Best Small Family Car 2008…

The Volkswagen Golf has been honoured by judges for the second successive year at the prestigious What Car? Awards.

The award went to the Golf 1.4-litre TSI Match - a recent addition to the model line-up and the latest evolution of the Golf. Combining the virtues of a small capacity engine and its inherent efficiency with a performance edge courtesy of a turbocharger the new TSI can achieve a combined 44.8 mpg while emitting just 149 g/km of CO2.

In presenting the award Steve Fowler, Group Editor of What Car? commented: 'Four years on from the Golf's overall Car of the Year win, it remains our favourite small family car by some margin. The new 1.4-litre TSI engine is a gem, while Match trim offers sensational value. All that on top of the virtues that made Golf Car of the Year in 2004 - smart looks, a spacious and classy cabin, and a great drive.'
