Summary

2010 Volkswagen Golf

The 2010 Volkswagen Golf heralds the return of a diesel to the German carmaker's U.S. line. But this isn't the same oil burner the car came with during the troubled interim reign of its oddly named identical twin, the Rabbit. The only obvious telltale of this version is a well muted ticking from the more powerful, more responsive and fuel frugal sparkless engine. The new Golf is definitely a fun drive, especially the TDI, if not quite an exciting one; it's no sports car, but the Golf presses up against the entry bar for a sports sedan.

NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Tom Lankard filed this report from Wolfsburg, Dresden and Berlin, Germany.
