Volkswagen Golf wins the 2009 Drive Car of the Year Award
 
The Volkswagen Golf 118TSI won today's 2009 Drive Car of the Year Award presented by The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Drive.com.au. Results were announced this morning at a gala breakfast at the new Doltone House, Darling Island Wharf, Pyrmont.
The Golf beat an impressive field of 46 finalists that covered a wide range of vehicles in the new-car market. As well as a clever interior and excellent driving dynamics, judges were impressed with the Golf's fuel economy and performance. The Golf's 1.4-litre engine is the smallest in the field, yet its supercharger and turbocharger helps it deliver fuel economy significantly better than its competitors.
 
National Drive editor Toby Hagon says, "The Golf 118TSI blends above average performance with class leading economy in a well presented small car package."
 
"It sets a new benchmark for small car performance while using around 20 per cent less fuel than some of the big sellers in the class. The Golf has a high quality interior with attention to detail most competitors don't come close to."
 
46 cars were nominated for Drive Car of the Year 2009, Australia's most comprehensive guide to the best cars in Australia. The awards cover every car on the market, from hatchbacks and 4WDs to luxury limousines and sports cars.
Nine expert judges from Drive.com.au, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age spent six days testing the nominees earlier this month in Victoria. They covered a combined 20,000km on a closed track and public roads, evaluating everything from environmental credentials and safety to driving dynamics and performance.
