New Volkswagen Golf Match Offers Striking Value

Volkswagen is ensuring that the award winning Golf hatchback remains a top seller with the introduction of the new Golf Match, which comes out of the box with even more specification than the SE model it replaces. The Golf SE was already one of the most comprehensively well-specified vehicles in its class, and the new Match adds even more features that customers are sure to value, including front and rear parking sensors, front fog lights and a mirror pack, which consists of automatically-folding door mirrors with puddle lights and reverse-activated dipping on the nearside. New 16-inch ‘Dover’ alloys distinguish the Match.
