*Introduction*
Introduced in 1974 as a replacement for the air-cooled
Volkswagen<http://www.jdpower.com/autos/volkswagen>Beetle, the
Volkswagen Golf has been one of the German automaker's greatest
hits. With more than 25 million units sold worldwide since its first
introduction, the Golf (and its sibling
"Rabbit<http://www.jdpower.com/autos/Volkswagen/Rabbit/2009/Hatchback/>"
in the United States) is the world's third best-selling model, according to
VW. Over the past five generations, the compact-sized Golf has been
configured in 3-door hatchback, 5-door hatchback, station wagon, and
convertible variants. Originally conceived as a simple front-wheel-drive
(FWD) 4-cylinder economy hatchback in the 1970s, the diversity of late-model
versions demonstrates the flexibility of the platform. Today's Golf/Rabbit
offerings range from fuel-efficient diesel-powered sedans to
high-performance, race-oriented, AWD 6-cylinder hatchbacks.
