2011 Volkswagen Golf
The 2011 Volkswagen Golf is built on the same basic platform as the earlier Volkswagen Golf, a high-quality, highly rigid chassis. A rigid chassis results in a smooth, controlled ride with little noise, vibration or harshness. Well-engineered crumple zones and other features enhance crash protection. To maintain structural integrity without sacrificing its round shape, the New Beetle convertible’s body has been enhanced to provide additional support, including a rear seat support that enhances chassis rigidity. Convertibles are distinguished by an exterior chrome strip that surrounds the greenhouse and by a redesigned trunk design with integrated third brake light, and side mirrors with integrated turn signals.
2011 Volkswagen Golf dimensions prove it is no small car. The body is 161.1 inches in length and 67.9 inches wide, with a wheelbase of 98.7 inches. It’s longer, but narrower and taller than a Mini. Outside door handles are easy to grab, feel good, and don’t require inverting your hand to operate. New turn indicators on outside mirrors warn drivers alongside when changing lanes. Color-keyed mirror housings and door handles add to the Beetle’s clean appearance. At night from a distance, our black convertible looked like something from Porsche with its sleek dome shape and round headlamps.
2011 Volkswagen Golf looks similar to the other New Beetles, but aerodynamic enhancements give it a hunkered-down German turbo look. Smoothed-out wheel wells and revised bumpers give it a seamless, aerodynamic appearance. Double exhaust pipes hint of compressed aspiration under the hood, while special 17-inch alloy wheels and tires indicate a sports suspension. A subtle Turbo S badge, styled after Porsche badging, adorns the back hatch on which sits a rear valance. The Turbo’s rear spoiler pops up at speed and is designed to maintain rear-end stability in high-speed corners. After spending some time with the car, we found the rear spoiler a bit annoying as it comes back down with a thunk when slowing down. 2011 Volkswagen Golf is easy to drive and operate. It feels instantly familiar with no fumbling for controls. The 2011 2011 Volkswagen Golf is quieter than truck-based SUVs both in engine and road noise. It rides smoothly on a variety of surfaces, true to the car side of its SUV heritage. The appeal of The 2011 Volkswagen Golf continues to grow over time, gradually blossoming into a sense of general well-being and satisfaction. The 2011 Volkswagen Golf senses the slope and roughness of the terrain and reduces the anti-lock influence over the brakes; this improves stopping performance off road and avoids early activation on steep slopes. Several technologies come standard that improve the driver’s ability to control The 2011 Volkswagen Golf in emergency maneuvers: electronic brake force distribution, active traction control, and vehicle skid control. Electronic brake force distribution (EBD) evenly distributes the braking force to the front and rear wheels. This reduces stopping distances. A brake assist function has been developed to help drivers who may not be depressing the brake pedal hard enough in an emergency braking situation. The system can detect when you’re trying to slam on the brakes to stop; it then uses full braking force even if you relax your foot on the brake pedal. The standard front-wheel-drive, four-cylinder 2011 Volkswagen Golf with traction control makes for a superb wagon for the city and suburbs. It’s far easier to deal with on a daily basis than a truck-based sport-utility.
