It’s back to school time again. Ever wonder what the best cars to take back to school are? Look no further! Leading the way is the 2015 Volkswagen Golf! This car, voted as one of the best hatchbacks and affordable small cars, the Golf is bursting on the scene and into all our hearts.
The new 2015 Volkswagen Golf has gotten a make-over for this model year. The Golf now boasts a longer, lower, and wider frame that creates more space and better handling. The base model comes with a 1.8 Turbocharged four-cylinder engine that runs quiet. You can also choose between the five-speed manual transmission that comes standard and is known for its great fuel economy. The Golf also comes with the option of a six speed automatic transmission. The base 2015 Golf gets an estimated 25/37 mpg city/highway, which is comparable to many of the other vehicles in the same class. The Golf could also go from 0-60 in 7.8 seconds!
The turbodiesel TDI earns praise for its impressive fuel economy. It gets up to 31/45 mpg, which is exceptional based on its competition. It boasts many of the same features as the regular Golf, only feels a little slower in revving up.

The new Golf’s interior has gotten an upgrade as well. Standard in all trim levels, of which the Golf has ten different ones, is a 5.8 inch touch screen audio system. The seats are also very comfortable and well-bolstered so you are held in place as you make your way around the corners.
