All kinds of Volkswagen golf. All generations Volkswagen Golf. One million kilometers on Volkswagen Golf I

In 1974, an event occurred, which later change the automotive world - saw the light of Volkswagen Golf first generation, TYP 17 or MK1. By the way, many think that the name of the model the creators took in honor of the famous game with a stick, ball and hole - golf. And in fact, this is a reduction from golfustrim - warm current in the Atlantic Ocean, warming up the whole of Europe. Beautiful, is not it?

In those years front-wheel drive was not so common, after all, most German cars were produced with a classic layout, and VW Golf I. Already then "Rowing Front". Despite the fairly simple interior, the list of available options was already not bad. From the janitor with a glass washer rear door to the hatch in the roof. The broad offer of the body made this model insanely popular in Europe. Notechback were offered, a cabriolet and a sedan with his own, truth, the name of Jetta, but in fact, it is the same golf, only with the "backpack behind the back."

Do not forget that the appearance was developed by Georgetto Jijaro. This person asked, then still, certain strokes, lines, directions in the design of the model, on all generations that can be caught from generation to generation. In 1983, the second generation of model came to shift. The first model was produced by a circulation of 5,625,000 pieces, agree, an impressive digit.

Golden Epoch of Development - VW Golf II

And here is the automotive evolution and time in the 83rd year brought VW Golf 2.. This car was already noticeably larger, more comfortable and more spacious. Even now, dozens of years, on the roads the second golf can be found in a rather good form. Machines operate every day for their domestic needs. Work, shops, cottages, which means it, despite the development of the early eighties, still may well be a normal vehicle.

Volkswagen Odaril Golf II even more generous options for bodies and packages. The car has become a real bestseller. Her circulation was even more, 6,300,987 alone hatchbacks, if you add almost two million Jetta sedans, it turns out, just stunning numbers. At that time, a four-wheel drive Syncro appears. A cherry on the cake was the limited version of the Golf II Country, which was a real discovery - Hatchback, with fully drive on the carrier frame. The limit is a limit, there is only 7,000 such cars from the conveyor.

Also, just on VW Golf II, appeared legendary motor G60. The turbo engine gave a lot in the development of sports versions of this car. For example, it's enough affordable sports car Corrado, built on the A2 platform, as Golf 2, was popular with the G60 motor. Power 160 hp Removed with a volume of 1.8 liters, which is not completely bad, for that time. Volkswagen Golf was so successful that he began to release it, almost in every European country - Spain, Switzerland, Finland, Holland, France, Great Britain, and even, in the ocean, in the United States and also, in the country of the Rising Sun - Japan.

In 1991, a worthy change of the predecessor - VW. Golf III . In addition to traditional, for golf bodies, a wagon called Variant appeared. Seven gasoline engines and three diesel engines have been proposed. Technologies that were used on golf models went up with the times, and in some cases ahead of it. The ABS system and different electric drives and heated was then available for Golf.

Designers continued to experiment with powerful motors On small cars. On charged versions such famous, in our time, engines as VR6 appeared. All generations golf, and the third not an exception was made from such a metal that, in the absence of an accident, the body was practically not corrosion. At the body, some generations gave 12 years warranty from the "draft". Separed third golf less than Golf II, but this does not mean at all. That in this generation something went wrong. Just the market was more rich and competitors pulled up.

Dream of Perteller - Volkswagen Golf 4

VW Golf 4. Began to release in 1997. A wonderful car, on the platform of which was successfully produced Skoda Octavia. Golf at that time was something unattainable for competitors. He went to such a level that everyone took an example from him. It was at that time that the term "golf class" appeared, which determines the class "with" name of one model. The circulation of more than 4 million cars, and remained unattainable for many competitors.

When appeared VW Golf V. (in 2003), in many respects, thanks to that crazy tempo, which asked Volkswagen his most popular model, the nearest competitors from Europe and Asia, such as Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic. and Ford Focus. Already very closely close in Great Golf. Therefore, Volkswagen did not lose time in vain, continued to invest new technologies in this model. Multi-dimensional suspension, safe body (rigidity increased compared to the previous model by 80%), cost-effective motors with modern fuel injection systems TSI and FSI. In addition, the car came out so lucky that at its base, the concern also began to produce others, close to the class of model - Touran and Golf +, not to mention other VAG brands.

Sixth golf, it's almost the fifth, only younger

The sixth generation (since 2009), in its essence, is deep fifth facelifting Golf. Changing and Conditioning Design, designers added security as electronic systems - more intelligent ESP, MSR, ASR and increased the number of pillows in the database. Motors did not touch, only by refating a few moments, improving problem places. Volkswagen Golf VI is considered the most trouble-free model, the demand for it is very large, as well as the price on the "secondary".

Volkswagen Golf. VII - This is already modern carwhich is released at the time of this article, at least, here, we already expect the renewal of generations, after all the current reached in 2012. For the design of Golf 7, Walter da Silva took up, a famous lover liner. He managed the appearance of the car to make recognizable, and at the same time, add sportiness notes even in the most ordinary versions. He also very well visited the appearance, which, traditionally for models of all generations, will be relevant for a very long time. The super innovative MQB platform, which is now being built, almost all VAG, made it possible to make the car light, and therefore economical. The rear suspension can be both with a simple beam of twist, and with a multi-dimension, depending on what is under the hood.

Volkswagen Golf 7 "Food" to all that can be found today on cars, even more. Here is a small list of driver assistants who can be equipped with Golf VII: and electric power steering, circular survey cameras, driver tracking, markup recognition system and road signs.

Volkswagen Golf - this is how to personify the whole automotive history. Years go, changing technology, safety requirements, comfort, economy. But Volkswagen golf, as if always ahead of all, thanks to the incredible balance of characteristics. And there is no doubt that we will see many more generations of this beautiful model from Volkswagen.

This car was and had to be called like a wind, but received his name from Golf Stream. The most sold Volkswagen car. Take above - the most successful car in Europe. The car-name - in honor of him called the whole class of the car, the legend car - over 40 years of Golf history has sold more than 30 million cars of this model.

the site begins its new project "generation" from him - worldwide and all-economists of the favorite "Golification". We will tell you how VW Golf changed, on which copies of this iconic model our users drive and what is thinking about the car is one of the representatives of the brand in the country.

We are familiar with: seven "golf", seven owners and one technical specialist.

Volkswagen Golf I and Sergey

The production of GOLF of the first generation began in 1974. Car Design Developed Italian Designer Georgetto Judjaro.

The first generation VW Golf was represented by 3- and 5-door hatchbacks, a 4-door Jetta sedan and an open convertible.

Produced in two versions (basic and suite), had a large set of options: the rear window washer, the "janitor", a sliding hatch in the roof, a locking gas tank and wheels with cast discs.

Here, for the first time, VW applied the front transverse engine location and front-wheel drive. In the line of engines at first there were a 1.5-liter 70-strong engine and a 1,1-liter 50-horsepower engine. By the end of the 70s the lineup Replenished: 1.5 liters of diesel engine appeared (50 l.) and 1.3 l gasoline (60 l.). Version 1.5 received a new 1.5-liter engine in 1977, and the new 55-strong diesel came to shift the old in 1981.

In September 1975, the GTI version was shown in Frankfurt - with ventilated brake discs, stabilizers transverse stability and increased to 110 liters. from. Engine capacity, she went on sale in 1976 with a maximum speed of 173 km / h and overclocking to hundreds for 9.6 s.

In 1981, the model was equipped with automatic transmission, and also replaced the engine for GTI and a convertible: instead of 1.6-liter appeared 1.8 liters (112 liters) - the maximum speed immediately increased to 188 km / h, overclocking until hundreds decreased to 8.1 s.

Sergey Borisik:

- At that time this car had a very modern design, plus it was available at a price. It was impossible to find flaws.

Even cars that are exploited for a long time in our climate, to this day less corrosion than some modern.

"Always melted on old cars, but there was no possibility - because for such love you need money". Machines with history in the life of the SERGEY have appeared thanks to Discovery TV channel and Machinators type programs (Wheeler Dealers):" I am not the fan of "golf" - just love beautiful old cars". But Golf had before: the second, third and fourth generation." Now the 1st became the last"By the way, your first generation Golf and the Senior Son Sergey - the family understands the sense in such cars.

Sergey - Golf I in the configuration of GTI Trophy. In the vehicle's vehosparer, the year of release is not defined, "but the owner knows exactly - this" golf "was born in 1982. To Sergey, the car fell in 2011 - "in a state, of course, below average, although not dead," and until 2013 he was restored.

His car owner searched for a very long time: " It seems to be the first "golfs" enough, I was looking for a modification of GTI. Traveled all Belarus, even looked in Russia. But they came across: people put a 1.8 l motor in "golf" - and already screaming that GTI.". This Golf i as a result of all searches was discovered ... at a neighbor.

- I bought for $ 700, invested more than 5 thousand. About a thousand it took only that she started and went, they repaired an injector and everything connected with him. Everything else under the hood is native. Body how many winters in the previous owner survived - no problem.

Sergey himself today saves the car - it goes only in the summer, in winter it stores in a warm garage. But, in principle, says any problems can be solved: the engine costs about 1.5 million rubles, the body was just recently ceased to produce in South Africa. " In fact, you can collect a new "golf" - you want a convertible, you want a sedan: the eternal constructor".

- Who does not understand, he can say something unpleasant, and who loves old cars - the baldette from one kind of my Golf. Show: "Well done, cool!". I am very pleased.

Volkswagen Golf II and Svetlana

The second "golfs" became a logical continuation of the first: the same recognizable design lines, the same round headlights. The car has become more spacious: the length has increased by 300 mm, the width is 55 mm.

The line of the engines was very wide: 1.1 l, 1.3 liters, several 1.6 liters, 1.8 liters. Motor power often "swimming", almost everyone had several versions. There was also a GTI with a 1.8-liter engine already mentioned (112 liters.) And disk brakes on all wheels. But the second generation was heavier the first per 100 kg - and, despite the excellent chassis, Golf II GTI lost more light first Predecessors until GTI appeared with a 16-valve motor with a capacity of 139 liters. from.

This "golf" was equipped with a catalyst, ABS and a hydraulicer. Moreover, four-wheel drive (syncro) appears in the same generation.

VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:

- Golf II is a favorite model of car owners of our country: they once had ever traveled on them, almost in every family they were once ... I often hear, they might if you could buy such a car new from the conveyor - nothing is better want.

The first "golf" on the salon and decoration is very Spartan, the second is more comfortable. A huge trunk appeared - from his volume with a folded back of the dackets still delighted.

Weak place of the second "golf" - body: despite the fact that anti-corrosion processing Much attention was paid, when driving on our "salt" roads, the corrosion of him nibbles.

In the family of Svetlana, two "golf" of the second generation. This 1985 release, with a gasoline engine of 1.3 liters.

- We have this car a little over a year. When buying specifically, they were not focused on "golf" - just wanted a budgetary car, preferably "German." Such and got: it cost 2 thousand dollars, fuel consumption - about 5 liters - happy daily.

Of course, according to the recognition of Svetlana, at first I had to invest: " With the carburetor there was a problem, on the chassis changed a lot, now the steering wheel shakes a little ...".

On the second family "golf", with a motor of 1.6 liters, family with two children went to Crimea: " More than 5 thousand km wound there - back - a very profitable trip was published with a fuel consumption of 6 liters per hundred".

The owner of his car characterizes briefly: " There are no complaints - a devoted friend and reliable comrade".

Volkswagen Golf III and Daniel

For the first time, Golf III was shown in 1991 at the Geneva Motor Show. A car was produced to 1998, and in 1992 he received the title of "Car of the Year". The third generation had a much larger number of modifications - to the traditional 3- and 5-door hatchbacks (the sedan on its basis is traditionally for VW of those times was called Vento) 5-door Wagon Variant was added.

For the first time in the classroom, the VR-shaped "six" was established 2.8 liters (174 liters with.), The first diesel GTI of 1.9 liters of TDI (110 liters s.).

The car has become more, more convenient and safer. Form has changed significantly: from the Golf's workhorse turned into France. It was he who asked all followers to all followers, the classic golf class began.

VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:

- This Golf has become more difficult, more electronic systems appeared, but it does not worsen his challenges: If something breaks - he rides, but it becomes just the second "golf".

Same again weakness - Body: hard to him, poor, cope with corrosion - even harder than the previous model.

This third "Golf" of 1993 released in the Daniel family appeared in 2010. I purchased it in autoconfiscate when I was looking for the first car for my wife - the car was seized from some Lithuanian for smuggling. " At first, I looked after the "Lada" of the first model there, but I noticed next to Golf - it had air conditioning and gas equipment. It cost 2,200 dollars, such an amount was not planned for cars - they took a loan and never regretted it".

On the third "golfish" Daniel traveled all over Europe - drove to Spain.

- In 2012, we went with my wife. The car was in the "squeak" state, unpacked, with a crack on the glass. Polish customs officer, having seen us, was surprised: "Pan rides in Spain on this car?! Pan on this car will not reach!"As a smoothed, recalls the owner," the roller of the generator belt broke on the German autobahn. Now Daniel thinks that he himself was partly to blame: " At first, it was not very disassembled in the spare parts - I bought that they were offered. This is just a cheapest Chinese movie ..."

Since then, the owner of the third "golf" tries to act proactively: " Something stumbled, Zareko - immediately understand, Chiny". And problems, says, does not know with the car.

Volkswagen Golf IV and Artem

Golf IV was produced from 1997 to 2004 - just over 4 million cars. In comparison with the previous generation, it became longer by 131 mm, wider by 30 mm, and the wheelbase increased by 39 mm. The fourth Golf outside is difficult to distinguish from the third, but inside it has changed very seriously. ESP debuted here, an all-wheel drive version with a VR6 engine (204 liters) and visco haldex coupling In the transmission, the first engine with direct injection, side airbags ...

In 2002. Volkswagen released the first Golf R32 with a maximum speed of 250 km / h - huge wheels 225/40 R18, lowered suspension, 3.2-liter V6 (241 liters), which is now raised to the Phaeton representative model.

VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:

- In this generation, Golf first received a fully galvanized body and, as a result, a 12-year warranty from through corrosion.

There was a transparent optics here, by the way, there was a lot of complaints from customers: the headlights are not completely closed systems, the air falls in them - and the condensate is settled on the reverse side.

Golf GTI The 4th generation of Artem has two years. Four of the 2003 release, Motor 1.8 turbo, 180 liters. from. - Excellent instance of "American". Moreover, this machine is one of the 4200 auto anniversary release of Volkswagen Golf GTI 20th Anniversary Edition.

- Just love for the fourth Golf- with a smile explains his choice first after the driving school of the car Artem. He bought a car in Minsk, then for 10 thousand dollars. " My "golf" came broken from America, in Grodno his previous owner gathered, made it and was traveled for five years. Then there was another owner - in Minsk, and then my gti got to me".

Artem says that he has practically no problems with this machine, but in general with spare parts for this modification, serious difficulties. " For gti spare parts or expensive, or simply not. By engine or box, for example, it is very problematic to find. Accessories are also not easy: even a gti signboard will not find, or ask for crazy money - about $ 100, the cape branded on the seat Recaro GTI - 600 dollars".

- I broke somehow an external shrus - an expensive item, about $ 180. Or, on the car wash, the border, and the "lip" burst - I feel, I will have a problem.

Despite everyone, Artem in his car is just in love. At some point, it recognizes, I thought to sell, change, maybe something more serious - but " i look at today's prices in the market - and I understand that for this money there is nothing better than my "golf". And I will not give my own".

Volkswagen Golf V and Dmitry

For the first time, Golf V was shown in October 2003 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, it was created on the Volkswagen Group A5 platform (PQ35). The fifth "golf" became greater: 57 mm longer than 24 mm and above 39 mm, the trunk volume rose to 347 liters. Auto is represented by three- and five-door hatchbacks in three various equipment - Trendline, ComfortLine and Sportline.

Diesel engines were represented by 1.9 TDI (90-105 liters.) And 2.0 TDI (140 liters p.). The modification of the GTI was completed with a 2.0 TFSI engine (200 liters.).

VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:

- changed rear suspension - instead of the beam, a multi-dimustive, respectively, has increased comfort.

On this fifth Golf 2006, Dmitry is released only sometimes - the car belongs to relative. But our user knows about it - as, however, and other VW - all: he is the creator and Administrator of the Volkswagen club in Belarus. " How much I already have rights - so much I go to VW. The third and fourth "golf", in the family there were the third and fifth "Passats". We are now simultaneously two "golf" - II and III, Tiguan and Passat B7".

This, the fifth, Golf generation, according to him, is a machine with an excellent diesel engine 1.9 liters, 105 liters. from.

- Economical, comfortable in the city and frisky on the highway (6 mCP), maneuverable, low consumption - you can almost "sleep" to drive into Europe and back.

As for servicing the car of this generation, according to Dmitry, - no problems: " For spare parts, they are largely interchangeable and third, and from the fourth ".

- Replacing planned to do - and there will be no surprises. Now I drove, I feel that brake discs It's time to change, at idle pulls a little - but she rides and will ride. The main thing is to follow the car.

Volkswagen Golf VI and Alexey

Golf VI is created on the same platform as the car of the previous generation - Volkswagen Group A5 (PQ35) Platform, and for this generation quickly called "five and a half", they say, nothing new. The car was presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 2008.

At first, Golf VI was produced in the 3- and 5-door body of the hatchback, later the wagon and compactment Golf Plus joined them. In 2011, a convertible appeared.

On this Golf, for the first time put so "favorite" all the DSG box - 6-speed with wet clutch and 7-speed with dry.

VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:

- A huge number of different security systems appeared in the car: a driving prevention system, ABS with braking assistant, ESP of a new generation ...

This Golf of the 6th generation of 2009 release for Alexey is "Favorite Tank".

- First car - how not to love…

Motor 1.4 TSI, an average of 6.8 liters per hundred, 122 horses, manual transmission. Alexey drove this Golf from Germany a year and a half ago - with all expenses cars cost $ 17,700, during this time 55 thousand km drove in Belarusian roads. " Very cheerfully drives"," characterizes "Golfik" owner.

- I will not say that Golf wanted exactly - chose between them and Audi A3. But those who know people advised "Golf" precisely for his reliability - and indeed, for a year and a half no complaints.

Alexey does not swear, which will love "golfs" forever: in his plans to change it on the car more - for example, Passat CC. But now the situation on the market, unfortunately, does not contribute to favorable exchanges.

Volkswagen Golf VII and Tatiana

For the first time, the car was shown in 2012 at the Paris Auto Show. In March 2013, Golf VII received the title of "car of the year in Europe", at the International Auto Show in New York in the same year. Also "car of the year in Japan."

The choice of four motors, all turbocharged and low-consultant: 1.2 TSI (85 and 105 liters.) And 1.4 TSI (122 and 140 l.). In Europe, there are still diesel options.

VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:

- There were incredibly many help systems for the driver, which in such quantities and quality have so far been available only in the representatives of the representative class.

When they say about the seventh "golf", immediately remember the Volkswagen Group MQB modular platform: earlier on one platform released several types of cars - Golf, Touran, Golf Plus, and now there are several modules, and such a system will be applied at all on all auto concern. For example, Passat B 8 from the engineering point of view is practically poured Golf VII.

- They say men can not be compared, and cars before purchase - you can even need, - Laughs the owner. She looked at Audi A3 Sportback, Toyota Camry. and Avensis, Skoda Octavia. And Yeti. " I used to have a VW Golf Plus. But Volkswagen is not the car that I saw - and immediately "Wow!". Here Audi A3, in my opinion, very beautiful - headlights, grille of the radiator ... But you get behind the wheel - and something is missing. The strange decoration of the front console, these round air deflectors, the radio, the radio is not thought out ... Skoda liked, but there were not enough visits from behind. But in the "golf" village, drove - not heard, how the engine works, comfortable, all at hand, all "its". And it is for the feelings he "Wow!".

Tatiana is pleased and then: " Eats "it is about 6 liters per hundred on average with the stated 6.8 liters, the first planned technical services cost me 800 thousand.".

- Sports, businesslike, elegance is all that I need to emphasize me. All I wanted. About the seventh "Golf" is unlikely to someone can say something bad.

Change Golf on Golf

The owner of the Golf I GTI Sergey got - to his great joy! - fourth GTI; Svetlana - the mistress of the second "golf" - I had to transfer to the first; Daniel sat in the Svetlana car and handed over his Golf III Alexey, which usually rides the sixth; The owner of the charged "Four" Artem moved to Golf V, the driver of the fifth "golp" went behind the wheel of Golf VI.

* Golf 7 and its owner Tatyana did not participate in the exchange of cars.

- This is Golf. The first or sixth is just Golf. Native, familiar - at least with closed eyes- If you do not go into the technical nuances of each specific instance of our users, they were united.

For those and love.
