Volkswagen Golf
276 points
Car of the Year Jury rewarded it only in its third generation, a car full of maturity and a reference in build quality. The pleasant to drive 2.0 GTI version would have the complement of a powerful 16v engine. Conceived prior to a general trend to reduce engine size, Volkswagen also offered an impressive V6 2.8 version with 175 hp as top of the range.
