With Volkswagen now producing twelve different configurations of their venerable Volkswagen Golf, there is a good chance there is a trim level that will appeal to you.  We here at World Imports USA may not have the trim level available but if you fill out our CarFinder we will definitely find it for you.  We know that a used Volkswagen Golf is a popular choice in the Jacksonville area and is one of the reasons the car is a finalist for European Car of the Year.

Are you looking for a typical combustible gas engine, or a TDI diesel engine?  You also need to pick between a 2 or 4 door, as well as multiple packages depending on what suits your needs.  Volkswagen has also never been afraid to give the iconic hatchback enough power under the hood but never ignoring efficiency with high MPG's.

The Golf is vying for the top prize with eight other models, and trying to win its second European Car of the Year title in its illustrious history. Back in 1992, the Golf won the whole thing, and it's placed in the top three six times since the award's creation in 1964, the highest among all new Volkswagen models.

In the 48-year history of the European Car of the Year award, VW has had 14 vehicles finish in the top three, with the Volkswagen Polo taking the top spot back in 2010. If you're not familiar with the Polo, it's a European-only mini car that looks a lot like the Golf we know and love.

Other past Volkswagen finalists include the Up! and the Passat.

The winner will be announced on March 4, 2013. We'll be sure to let you know of the results here on the World Imports USA blog, and keep you up to date with the latest Volkswagen news.

You can also stop by and check out the Golf for yourself in our showroom located at 11650 Beach Blvd Jacksonville, FL 32246. We're always happy to answer questions and arrange test drives at your convenience.
