The Volkswagen Golf first came out in 1974.\u00a0 It had big shoes to fill as it was the replacement to the Beetle.<\/p>\n
It’s layout was the exact opposite of the Beetle in most aspects.\u00a0 It was a water cooled front engine, front wheel drive that owed in design more to the original Mini than the Beetle.<\/p>\n
It success has been phenomenal.\u00a0 Golf is the third biggest selling name plate in the world having sold over 29 million vehicles in total.\u00a0 Only the Toyota Corolla and the Ford F series beat it.<\/p>\n
