What does it cost?
For The VW Golf 1.6 TDI Bluemotion Tech Match is one of the 'greener' options in the Golf range, with near-70mpg economy and CO2 emissions of less than 110g/km. Match trim is the optimum spec, with alloys, four electric windows and a smarter interior.
Against It's several hundred pounds more than the regular 1.6 TDI 105, which is a very economical car in its own right. And, if you want the very greenest Golf, you'll need the 99g/km Bluemotion model.
What Car? says
The 1.6 TDI Bluemotion Tech Match is good bet for high-mileage company car drivers, but for most people our favourite is the 1.4 TSI 122.
