Volkswagen

Beetle

£12,509 - £17,949

This car is a vast improvement on its predecessor. Basing it on the current Golf platform is a good start. It's not as practical as a regular hatch, but much more fun to own and be seen in.

Beetle Cabriolet

£15,744 - £22,364

The sort of car that's all about making some sort of indiscernible statement that only professes a broad disregard for the basic requirements of motoring in favour of looking like whatever you think you look like in the campest car on the market.

CC

£22,419 - £32,669

Passat CC no more. It's now a model on its own: the Volkswagen CC. Well yes, but it's still a facelifted Passat CC, which means it's a Passat in a fancy frock.

Eos

£22,414 - £31,214

An odd leap onto the tin-top cabrio bandwagon, hamstrung by an extended Golf chassis and a boot so small you can take sandwiches to the picnic, but not crisps.

Fox

£6,919 - £8,544

Brazilian built city-car unworthy of VW’s rock-solid quality reputation. Even if you fervently believe Basil Brush is real, this is one fox you simply won’t find credible.

Golf

£12,899 - £32,269

The Golf enters its seventh incarnation, and this time it's more revolution than evolution. Well, sort of.

Golf

£12,899 - £32,269

Benchmark is an over-used word, but you simply can’t consider buying a hatchback without comparing it with the original. Still superb, but now being run mighty close.

Golf Estate

£17,089 - £23,559

 The Golf is one of the most, er, innocuous cars around, and the estate is the ultimate derivative.

Golf GTI

£24,209 - £26,089

You know it’s good, we know it’s good. Nothing more to it. How can the new one possibly be better?

Golf GTI Cabriolet

£29,755 - £31,055

Attractive GTI variant of the huge Golf range is good looking and suitably hot on the road too.

Golf Plus

£16,129 - £23,219

Yes, it's a slightly bigger, taller VW Golf that slips into a niche that no one thought of, and we're not sure anyone wants.

Jetta

£16,249 - £22,404

Look, sorry about this but they’ve asked me to design a booted version of the Golf. Yeah, I know it’s half five – you start the car, it should only take a couple of secs. 

Passat

£17,230 - £26,844

Dull but worthy, the Passat doesn’t excite in any way, but it does exactly what it promises.

Passat Estate

£21,340 - £31,760

If it says VW on the grille you know it’ll be reliable and well-made. And this is.

Phaeton

£46,559 - £79,699

If your chauffeur comes back with one of these, cuff him about the head, slightly dislodging his peaked cap, and tell him to go away and find you a proper limo.

Polo

£9,409 - £18,714

Once you get over the initial cost, this little VW is cheap to run and has some brilliant engine options.

Scirocco

£18,859 - £29,774

It’s been said the Scirocco is a tarted up Golf GTI. Possibly. Doesn’t stop it being awesome, though.

Sharan

£22,634 - £31,589

Takes the fight to the Ford Galaxy with sliding doors and an accommodating cabin.

Tiguan

£20,334 - £27,949

The VW Tiguan may look tough but it’s not really for off-road use. Remember to keep to the path.

Touareg

£37,924 - £57,354

Complete overhaul and new hybrid version inject new life into Volkswagen's off-road behemoth.

Touran

£17,459 - £25,554

Not small but still perfectly formed, the Touran is a testament to VW’s expertise at dull but good cars.

Up

This is the one they all need to watch out for. VW has finally got serious about the city car.
