Drive Test – VW Citi Golf MkI
July 21st, 2010 
Russell 
Hot in the Citi . This is the last of its kind. A limited-edition example of a genuine real-world classic. Exclusive enough that by the time you read this they’ll probably all be sold. And yet, at a price which matches the heritage. A real people’s exclusive. No, I’m not being paid to write VW [...]
Jetta Breaks Away
June 17th, 2010 Kyle Stone VW Jetta VW’s Golf with a distended boot is no more, shocking I know considering its over 9 million units sales success. Okay, that’s a bit of a half truth, VW haven’t killed their Jetta, but it will no longer be based on Golf underpinnings. The new Jetta is well and truly its own car [...]
Russian Polo Saloon

May 6th, 2010 Kyle Stone VW Golf blue e-motion The Golf VI is one of the most capable and well rounded platforms in existence today. The chassis is responsive, and in GTI trim, the drivetrain and brilliant X-Diff is an engineering triumph.

Drive Impressions: VW Polo 1.6 Manual
April 15th, 2010 Kyle Stone VW Polo 1.6 Manual Not very long ago at all I did the road test on the 1.4L Polo, read the road test in the April edition of Drive in fact, but to summarise I had many good things to say about it. To be honest there was actually very little at all that I [...]
