Readers review the 2013 Volkswagen Golf

The Volkswagen Golf has consistently been one of the most popular and best-rated hatchbacks in the UK.

It is now entering its seventh generation, and it is perhaps little surprise that VW has chosen to not drastically change the overall look of the new car.

Underneath, though, it sits on an all-new platform and comes with a selection of efficient new engines.

The question is, though, has it done enough to build on those initial orders and entice in more new buyers and existing VW Golf owners? Here, What Car? readers give their verdict on the new car.
