2008 Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI S DSG 5-door hatchback

Description

So, I’ve been driving this 2008 Golf TSI S for a few months now and honestly, it’s been a real joy — especially on the daily commute. It’s a 1.4-litre petrol engine, not the biggest, but it’s smooth and gets around 48 mpg, which is a solid deal when you're thinking about fuel. The S trim gives you the basics without overloading it — nothing flashy, just what you need for comfort and usability.

The boot’s plenty big, so I’ve used it for shopping trips, weekend stuff, and even just hauling a few things around. It’s not a sports car by any stretch, but it does zip from 0 to 60 in about 9.4 seconds — not rocket science, but you can actually feel it accelerate when you want to.

It’s been properly mot’d and serviced recently — brand new service, full history, and I’ve kept it well looked after. There’s a tiny scratch on the passenger door near the bottom, barely noticeable, so no worries there. The car drives great, no issues at all.

I’ve got a 3-month warranty included (can extend to a year if you want), and free AA breakdown cover for a full year. If you’re thinking of taking a test drive, I’m more than happy to do that — no pressure, just a real talk.

It’s been parked in emersons-green, South Gloucestershire, so if you’re local, it’s not too far. I’m not selling it because I need the cash — I’m just looking to swap it out and get something new. Still, if you’re into a reliable, practical hatchback with decent fuel economy and solid performance, this one’s been a real gem.
