Another gong for Golf: new Golf is Money Magazine's "Best-value small car"

SYDNEY – Dec 5, 2013: Volkswagen has again triumphed in Money Magazine’s annual “Best of the best” awards with the all-new seventh generation Golf claiming the title of “Best-value small car”. The winning Golf variant, the entry-level 90TSI, leads the way in the hugely popular small car segment.

As well as gaining points in the value-for-money and cost-of-ownership analysis, the judges said there was another factor that helps weight the criteria towards best-car status,“the fun-to-drive component” or, driving experience.

“When you weigh it up against Money’s best-car methodology, including an incredibly strong (67%) resale value over three years, then add our subjective fit-and-finish and fun-to-drive rating, it’s easy to see why the 1.4-litre turbo 90TSI is the big-value small car” commented Money Magazine.

Now in its 13th year, Money Magazine’s “Best of the Best 2014” Awards recognise Australia’s best financial products, services and investments. Expert research partners select the 102 gold winners from tens of thousands of products.
