Volkswagen Golf trims
S
RRP from £18,340

S is the cheapest model of Golf, so does without smart-looking alloy wheels and has steel wheels with plastic hubcaps instead. An eight-inch touchscreen is standard and it comes with a Bluetooth phone connection, eight speakers and a digital radio. You also get a multifunction trip computer, air-con, a tyre-pressure monitoring system, electric mirrors and stop/start engine technology.

It's worth paying the extra for the next model up – the S just feels too basic for a Volkswagen.
