The
VW Golf Blue Motion : A Very Enviro Friendly Car

Why are we interested in the new VW Golf Blue Motion? Because it's the Enviro Friendly VW Golf Blue Motion!

Over recent years, Enviro Friendly Products ran a small fleet of VW diesel vehicles. This included a Transporter Ute, a Transporter Van, three Jetta sedans, and a Golf

All of the vehicles performed well. All were very economical to run.The sedans regularly got over 1000 kM on a tank, and my personal Jette recorded consumption figures as low as 5.5 litres/100km. Needless to say we not only appreciated the performance (the old Transporter ute could leave most cars at the lights), we were particularly impressed with the enviro-friendly, low carbon footprint of such economical vehicles. The Golf was the best of them all. Now we see that there's a new Golf on the block- the BlueMotion VW Golf..

The Blue Motion Golf claims up to 1500 km, or 3.8l. /100km from a tank of fuel- that's impressive! It also boasts a number of advanced features...

• Stop/Start Technolgy. Every time you come to a standstill, the engine turns off, saving fuel and emissions. All you need to do to get going again is to touch the clutch!
• Brake Energy Recuperation System. This system recovers some of the energy used in coasting and braking, and uses it to recharge the battery.
• Gear Reccomendation. The Blue Motion Golf suggests which gear you should be using to get the best fuel consumption. Optimised
• Aerodynamics. The Golf has taken every opportunity to reduce wind drag, lowering resistance, and improving fuel efficiency.
• Optimised Rolling Resistance Wheels. The BlueMotion Golf uses specially-designed, low rolling resistance tyres that cut emissions and fuel consumption.
• Optimised Gear Ratios. The Golf features higher gear ratios that reduce revs, and fuel consumption.

To quote Top Gear's Review,

"It's that smart look, along with the big efficiency figures, that helps elevate this Golf above its obvious eco-rivals. It also achieves better mpg than a Prius. "
