First introduced in 2003 and still in production nowadays, the Volkswagen Golf V 1.9 tdi is the latest model of the Golf series launched by the German car manufacturer in 1973. Even if the car was launched in 2003, it didn’t reach the United States until 2006 when Volkswagen unveiled it as the new GTI MKV. It had multiple rivals on the compact car class, including Ford Focus C-Max and Renault Scenic, being available in two configurations, with 3 and 5 doors.
