Top 15 Most Overlooked New Cars

5. Volkswagen Golf

The best selling vehicle in all of Europe is the Volkswagen Golf. Despite this impressive statistic in its column, in the United States this diamond in the rough vehicle has been passed over in favor of the Volkswagen Jetta. Yet the Europeans are on to something the Americans are missing out on with their love of the Golf. It just looks so incomparably cool with its practical hatchback layout. For utility, it is hard to beat this vehicle that can haul space-hogging cargo and still carry passengers with more than enough room. Since the European favorite Golf is around 18 inches shorter than its American market Jetta cousin, the owners are able to snag those smaller compact car parking spaces that the mid-sized vehicles simply can not manage.

As with all of Volkswagen’s cars, the Golf proves to be a real joy to drive around. For the super economical set, it provides a TDI engine that is diesel powered to deliver an incredible miles per gallon rating while running down the highway. The GTI variation is sporty in a wild party weekend sort of way.
