Thread: First drive review: Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI ACT 140 5dr

It's the first time we've tested the Mk7 Volkswagen Golf in the UK, and its all-round competence still shines This is the first time weve driven the latest Volkswagen Golf in the UK, having been so impressed with it when we tried it overseas. Our UK test car was still a left-hooker, thus putting its driver on the kerb side of the road in Britain and leaving them susceptible to the worst aspects of a cars ride. It came with a 138bhp 1. 4 TSI turbo petrol engine driving through a six-speed manual gearbox, with a cylinder-deactivation system that cuts two cylinders on a light load.
