    2012 Volkswagen Golf TDI Highline Road Test Review

    Have you noticed how the lines between "mainstream" and "premium" have blurred in recent years? Brands that used to build nothing but entry-level A to B transportation are coming to market with stylish, powerful, luxury machines that rival premium cars for features and performance yet cost tens of thousands less, while simultaneously the once coveted luxury marques are ever reaching farther down market with cheaper, smaller, cars and crossovers to expand their brands to a larger audience. And then there's the Volkswagen Golf.

    2011 VW Golf TDI Road Test

    After giving the 2011 VW Golf TDI five-door the beans over the last few days, I have a confession to make: I love diesels. Seriously. Love.

    Test Drive: 2011 VW Golf TDI

    It’s hard not to like the 2011 VW Golf TDI. While I’m a sucker for the sporty and all-round excellent 200-hp GTI, the pragmatic side of me would surely win out if I were kicking tires in a V-Dub showroom. I’d go with the super-smart four-door TDI clean diesel; and not only because it gets outstanding fuel economy.

    What should I do?
