On the road, this unassuming ride has been known to take on the occasional unsuspecting muscle car or crotch rocket, and it has run a best of 12.2 seconds at 117 mph at the track. It also just completed a 2,500-mile road trip carrying Tyleska, his fiance and a ton of luggage, which proves the car's roadability. Tyleska says the Golf even averaged 28 mpg with the A/C blowing.
Hey, Corleone. I think we've found the new head of the family.
