About Volkswagen Golf
The Volkswagen Golf is a compact car/small family car (C-segment) manufactured by the German automotive manufacturer Volkswagen since 1974. It has been marketed globally across eight generations, in various body configurations, and under various nameplates, including the Volkswagen Rabbit in the United States and Canada (Mk1 and Mk5), and the Volkswagen Caribe in Mexico (Mk1).
The original Golf Mk1 replaced the air-cooled, rear-engined, rear-wheel drive Volkswagen Beetle with a front-engined, front-wheel drive replacement. With more than 35 million units sold as of 2019, the Golf is Volkswagen’s best-selling model and one of the world’s top three best-selling models.
The Golf has won numerous awards, including World Car of the Year in 2009 with the Volkswagen Golf Mk6 and World Car of the Year in 2013 with the Volkswagen Golf Mk7. The Golf is one of only three cars to have won European Car of the Year twice, alongside the Renault Clio and the Vauxhall Astra, in 1992 and 2013. The Volkswagen Golf has appeared on the Car and Driver 10Best list several times. The Golf Mk7 was named Motor Trend Car of the Year in 2015, and the Mk1 GTI was named the same in 1985. In 2001, the Golf Mk4 was named the best-selling car in Europe. (Source: Wiki)
