2008 Volkswagen Golf and accessories
The 2008 Volkswagen Golf may be the smallest car in the Volkswagen fleet, but it certainly isn't lacking in any other area than size. New for this year, the Golf is sleeker and more powerful than ever before, combining the style of a more sophisticated luxury car with the engine of a midsize sedan. The Golf comes standard with a five-year, 60,000-mile warranty, and is available in two models, the Golf GL and the Golf GLS. Whichever model you choose, you can rest assured that you'll get a car that has as much oomph as attitude, a car that, above all else, performs at a consistent level of excellence. We plan to update our 2008 Volkswagen GTI turbo kit performance accessory review with monthly additions, including the most current performance specs.

The 2008 Volkswagen Golf is available with two different engines - one that runs on gas, and one that runs on diesel fuel. The standard engine is a 2.0-liter, 4- cylinder gas engine that delivers 115 horsepower and 122 pounds-per- foot of torque. The diesel engine, available at a premium in the USA, is a 1.9-liter, 4-cylinder, inline turbocharged direct-injection diesel engine that delivers 90 horsepower and 149 pounds-per-foot of torque. Both models of the Golf come standard with front and rear gas shock absorbers, independent front McPherson struts, five-speed manual transmission with hydraulic clutch, and power-assisted rack and pinion steering. The vehicles also come standard with an Electronic Stabilization Program, and Engine Braking Control, a patented Volkswagen technology that prevents compression-induced skidding in slippery conditions. Outside, the Golf is as much a model of efficiency as it is under the hood. The car features a roof-mounted amplified flexible black whip antenna, center high-mounted rear stop lamp, daytime running lights, heated windshield washer nozzles, and 195/65R 15-inch all-season tires. The 2008 Volkswagen Golf specs for interior benefits are just as impressive, and include air conditioning, front center armrest, cruise control, electric rear window defroster, brake wear indicator, luggage compartment light, 80-watt audio system, and a small, third center sunvisor over the rearview mirror. The Golf also features four tie- down hooks on the floor of the trunk, to allow you to make the most of an admittedly small storage space. It's another way the 2008 Volkswagen Golf is designed to make your life easier. In case there is the need for that custom shifter knob, or sun protector, check out our 2008 Volkswagen Golf accessories link for just about any item you can imagine. The best feature of the new and improved Golf, however, is, of course, safety. This year's Golf is safer than ever, and includes such safety precautions as automatic tensioning retractors for front and rear passenger seats, child seat tether anchorage points, side-door intrusion beams, side-curtain airbag protection, driver and front passenger airbags, and remote keyless entry, to name a few.
