When the craze for compact cars hit the automobile market with a thud, it became difficult for the experts to form an individual opinion for all those models that looked alike, performed alike and offered the overall gamut of features alike. In that overwhelming crowd of same segment vehicles, the experts could distinguish the 2019 VW Golf as a smart and practical choice irrespective of the trim level you drive.
The Current Lineup of the 2019 Volkswagen Beetle
When the 2019 VW Beetle hit the dealerships, the car dealers got busy in boasting all the goodies each of the trim of its lineup had to offer. When asked from the experts about each of these trim levels, they came up with some amusing adjectives for each of these trims that describe these models the most appropriate way.
The experts called the Golf hatchback as frugal, named the Golf GTI as the hot-rod model, while the Golf R got the hotter-rod name. coming to the trim levels, the Golf SportWagen was described by the experts as spacious, while the Golf Alltrack was called as the rugged one, and for the delicate e-Golf electric car, the experts had to bow down with a single comment, and that simply excellent.
Powertrain Options
For the 2019 year, VW has downgraded the engine of the Golf hatchback and SportWagen’s front-wheel-drive versions to a 1.4-liter turbo-4 engine that can raise the horsepower at 147 which is 23-count drop in the horsepower from last year’s 1.8-liter engine. A new GTI Rabbit trim Edition package is observed for the sporty version and in all the GTIs that are now given more maneuverability through its 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Finally, Volkswagen listened to the prayers of the driving enthusiasts about making a manual transmission available in more versions of the trim Alltrack.
Trims like the SportWagen and Alltrack that are configured as all-wheel-drives are now powered by a strong 168-hp generating turbo-4 engine of 1.8-liter. The Golf GTI sub trims get a 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine that is able to make a 228 hp and deliver a smooth ride because of the new firmer suspension and updated brakes.
Opinion on Overall Performance
Experts whom we met at different wings of the Bakersfield car dealerships opined on the new 1.4-liter turbo-4 rated engine making 147 horsepower that it is a correct choice for those who want a sustained spirit of driving with more maneuverability than powerful accelerations. As this is the engine option that sits in almost every Golf hatchbacks and the models with front-wheel-drive versions of the Golf SportWagen, the opinion really proves to be correct. The experts came to this conclusion after driving with it on several driving situations to test if they can deliver adequately inspiriting performance. And at the end of the ride, they all nodded for a big yes, giving the 6-speed manual transmission all the credit. However, it is quite understandable the maneuverability will increase if they drive with the optional 8-speed automatic transmission.
