2005 Volkswagon Golf GLS TDI

The Volkswagen Golf is one of those iconic cars of the last twenty five years. The original Golf rewrote the book as far as small compact cars were concerned. For 2005, the $27,465 GLS TDI model offers a new 1.9 turbo diesel engine that develops 100hp.

New technology offers a much cleaner burning diesel engine than ever before. The TDI is a smart very relevant and fuel efficient car. Official fuel mileage is 6.2L/100km for the city and 4.6L/100km for the highway.

One driver ran this car hard and fast and obtained an impressive 550km of driving from $27.00 worth of gas. The Golf TDI is comparable with the new breed of hybrid fuel cars coming out and so deserves serious attention if you are concerned about rising fuel prices. A car every family should seriously consider buying.
