The 2006 Volkswagen Golf has been made available with a hatchback version of the Volkswagen Jetta sedan. Both of these vehicles have the same design generation. The sporty GTI is a hatchback with two doors. The Volkswagen Golf offers GL and GLS trims with a 115 horsepower and 4 cylinder engine. These vehicles come with standard anti lock four wheel disc brakes, front torso side airbags, head-protecting curtain side airbags, traction control, and an anti skid system.

In truth, the 2006 Volkswagen Golf has already been on sale in Europe for eighteen months before it was introduced in United States showroom. In comparison, the Volkswagen Golf and the Volkswagen Jetta essentially is the same car from its parts like the front bumper up to the third roof pillar. What differs is that the Jetta’s rear window drops down to the trunk lid while as in the case of the Golf, its roof continues further towards the back of the vehicle, with hatchback access made from the rear. This vehicle carries more cargo volume, and better access to storage space. And, yes, the Volkswagen Golf costs much less than the Volkswagen Jetta.

As per the Volkswagen Golf’s predecessors, this new one is 2.3 inches longer, one inch wider, and 1.5 inches taller that has paved the way for more space in its interior. This new vehicle also carries with it crash protection that highlights front, side impact, and head protection airbags that are standards for this model. There are also redundant controls for the stereo and climate adjustments on the steering wheel hub. The gauges are also trimmed with chrome rings as well as the cabin which is trimmed with aluminum. As per the Volkswagen’s seats, they are made to be hefty and well bolstered.

In a nutshell, although the Volkswagen Golf has its low points like a low acceleration, and less automatic-transmission performance, this vehicle still outshines because of its spacious cargo room, great build quality, excellent fuel economy, comfortable ride, excellent visibility and quality interior materials.

Audi Leasing Deals

Fiat are still at it, with their Grande Punto, I have seen silly prices on a lease.

 For years now, Fiat’s entry level car has been a fantastic opportunity on a lease. They heavily subsidise the lease cost and, as always carry a superb residual value.

As a result, the lease costs can be absolutley superb. I am not going into exactly how much or going to promote anyones prices, but its quite often that you will see a grande punto for less than a hundred pounds.

Coupled with the fact these things come with metallic paint, power steering (with the girlie button), electric windows and central locking. It would seem a superb first car (new driver) or additional car to a family.

When you take charge of a lease car, you have certain responsibilities to the contract hire company. Here is a rough guide.

• Ensure the contract hire company is aware of the intended use of the vehicle and is notified of any change of use during the period of rental
• Make sure the vehicle is used within the manufacturers weight carrying specification, thus preventing overloading
• Not allow the vehicle to be used for the conveyance of noxious or toxic substances, foodstuffs, fish, offal or any other offensive or pungent smelling goods without prior approval from the contract hire company
• Comply with the contract hire company’s and manufacturers’ service and maintenance schedule
• Submit the vehicle for servicing and repair during the hire period in line with the rental company’s and manufacturers’ maintenance schedule. This includes weight testing of load bearing equipment
• Seek written permission from the contract hire company before any alterations to the vehicle are made, eg. drilling holes to fit racks, mobile phones, beacons etc. All such alterations must be made good at the end of the contract.

Arm is hurting now, will continue this tomorrow.

Well sort of…..Most contract hire agreements have an option called contract novation. This means a contract can be transfered to another party before the end of the contract.

This allows you to get rid of your lease contract earlier than expected.

To aid this process, we have now created a forum with a lease transfer section. All you need to do is register and upload the details of your existing lease.

Once uploaded, one of two things will happen. Either we will contact you and let you know someone is interested, or they will go online and see your lease available and quite possibly make contact.

The service is completley free to use, so why dont you give it a try.
