Brilliant. If you're looking for a word that best describe the Golf Sport, that certainly is it. You see, what Volkswagen has done, particularly in its sixth iteration is to better the quality, give it a slightly more mature look and best of all, provide small but potent lumps.
And that's an advantage here in Singapore, where the roads tax and insurance premium are relegated solely on the engine capacity. The Golf, since its launch a few months back, has been getting rave reviews and ultimately, good sales numbers - try having all first three shipments snapped up as quickly as fresh donuts...
I was the first few to sample the Golf back then, and I walked away from the Volkswagen showroom thinking "this has to be the best understated family hatchback money can buy for now". Then very recently, I spent an entire week punting the same car up North, accumulating some 1,500km and getting to experience just how amazingly this particular car handles - even at 210km/h (ok, I'm now very certain some of you Golf owners are thinking of trying it for yourself, right? ). Oh yes, it return ridiculously good fuel efficiency as well.
So impressed, I am very certain this will be my next car.
But hold on first - like some of you, the recent rise in the COE (how rude of the LTA) jacked the price tag of the Golf Sport too close to the psychological $100k price barrier. Now that made me think twice about buying it - after all, forking so much money just doesn't make sense.
Volkswagen then fought back - they handed me this base Golf you're seeing here, instead.
Prompt and Fast. Service officer Muhd Yazid was very helpful in guiding the sales, and when urgent assistance is required! Kudos to officer for being able to address all queries.

The entire experience from registering my car on OneShift to the handing over to the dealer was very pleasant. The process at OneShift was efficient and transparent. Special thanks to RenAi from OneShift who was very detailed and helpful.

Good response and support from Angie at One Shift when I wanted to sell off my old Camry which was due to be scrapped in early February. Would recommend this platform for those wanting to buy or sell their cars.
