It was an unexpected Golf, with uncanny refinement of a luxury car. The handling is surefooted, perhaps too much so and not nimble enough like the Evo IX. The power delivery and smoothness are awesome. The ride is smooth and quiet, totally making the Evo IX outdated. It has a lot of space, and is extremely well and solidly made. I feel it is much better than the current generation Golf which has been noisier and cheaply made.
