GOLF NAMED COMPANY CAR OF THE YEAR 2010
      
Volkswagen has won the Fleet News Awards' Company Car of the Year title with Golf, and collected awards in two other key categories.

The Polo was named Best Supermini while the Golf picked up both the Best Lower-Medium Car as well as the coveted 2010 Company Car of the Year.....the latter Award voted for by Fleet Managers.

On collecting the awards, Volkswagen’s Head of Fleet Services, Vincent Kinner, said "To receive these awards from Fleet News is a great honour.  They are a fantastic endorsement for two crucial models and the Volkswagen brand as a whole.  We’ve started 2010 in a very strong position, a situation we hope to build on as the year progresses."

Commenting on Volkswagen’s success, the Fleet News judging panel added: "The Golf impresses fleet operators and drivers in equal measure.  It has strong residual values and a wide choice of efficient engines that lead to low operating costs.  Drivers see it as an aspirational car in its sector."

Build quality remains a class benchmark while the Golf is also enjoyable to drive.  It scores highly for comfort and refinement as well as for its excellent road manners.

"The Golf represents good value against other mainstream products, whose list prices increased more steeply during 2009 – a factor that also helps drivers minimise their BiK tax bills."
