Life

The Life model is the entry-level option of the Golf for both the hatchback and estate. But don’t let that put you off. It’s very well specified considering its position in the range, with 16in alloy wheels, a 10in infotainment system, 10.25in digital driver display and a raft of driver assistance technology coming as standard.

Adaptive cruise control, dynamic road sign display and front and rear parking sensors all help make your journey more relaxing and easy. Rain-sensing wipers, and automatically dipping rear view mirror along with interior ambient lighting are also fitted at no extra cost. The only downside is that it looks a little plainer than other models, with no body kits and a rather ordinary set of alloys.
