2010 Volkswagen GTI Road Test Review
The year is 1983, and Volkswagen is about the shake up the economy car world. For in that year, VW took a solid but pedestrian car, the Rabbit, and juiced it up with a higher horsepower engine, larger wheels and tires, and suspension and trim enhancements and called it the Rabbit GTI. Do you rem...

2009 Volkswagen Eos Road Test Review
Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? For those who can't decide between a convertible or a hardtop with moonroof, Volkswagen has just the ticket: the Eos. Named for the Greek goddess of the dawn, the Eos was introduced in 2006 to fill the gap left by the departing Golf Cabrio, which...

2009 Boxster and Boxster S Road Test Review
There's no car company on earth remotely like Porsche. It simply defies logic in almost every way. First, it took a rear-engine design that shouldn't have worked from a weight distribution point of view and methodically transformed it into the modern-day 911, one of the best handling cars...

2009 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon TDI Road Test Review
If you think that practical, economical cars are by necessity as dull as dirt, you'll love Volkswagen's Jetta Wagon TDI. Here's a car with a miserly diesel engine, scads of space for people and luggage, and a reasonable price tag. So who'd guess that it would also be the most entertaining car...

2009 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible Road Test Review
VW's New Beetle Convertible always has been the cutest darn thing, but the 2009 Silver-Red Edition takes it to a whole new level. This red-topped car is so cute — outrageously, beautifully, classically cute — that on several occasion as in the short week I drove it, perfect strangers stopp...

2009 VW Jetta TDI Clean Diesel Highline Road Test Review
If I were to describe the 2009 VW Jetta TDI in one word, I would call it “clean.” Say what? That's an unlikely adjective to describe a car. Why not fast, or comfortable, or even good-looking? Nope (well yes, actually, because the TDI is all of the above), to me it's a “clean” kind of car and I'll ex...

2009 Volkswagen Passat CC Road Test Review
Mercedes-Benz had the distinction of introducing what was claimed as “the world’s first 4-door coupe” when it took the wraps off its CLS back in 2004. Expectedly, there was much controversy and discussion over whether any coupe could have four doors, regardless of styling, but the car wa...

2009 Volkswagen Routan Road Test Review
The new Volkswagen Routan is not the new Microbus, and it is most definitely not an exercise in nostalgia. As well-received as the Microbus concept vehicle was a few years ago, it would have been far too expensive to produce. The market for a $50,000 base price (and more like $60,000 popularl...
