The seventh generation of the Volkswagen Golf has been named winner of the 2013 European Car of the Year.
It was a comprehensive victory for the Golf with 414 points, well ahead of the Toyota GT86/Subaru BR-Z with 202 points and the Volvo V40 with 189 points.
This is the first time the Golf has won the Car of the Year award since the third generation picked up the prestigious title back in 1992.
VWSA's communications manager, Matt Gennrich...
"We are very pleased for two reasons, one is that the Volkswagen Golf 7 was made the European Car of the Year, Porche which was awarded on Wednesday night, the South African car of the year by the guild of motoring journalists is the cherry on top. Two great awards in a matter of two days, both great accolades for our products within the Volkswagen group" Gennrich said.
