VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTD S-A

This 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTD S-A pairs a 2.0 TDI 184PS engine with a six-speed DSG automatic gearbox, putting out 182bhp and 380Nm of torque through the front wheels. Finished in black, this five-door hatchback has covered 90,585 miles and is offered at £10,499.

With 0-60mph in 7.1 seconds and a top speed of 142mph, the GTD doesn't give up much to a hot hatch despite the diesel engine, and returns 62.8mpg on the combined cycle, rising to 70.6mpg extra-urban. CO2 emissions of 119g/km keep annual road tax down to £170, and it carries a 5-star Euro NCAP rating.

Inside you get a touchscreen media system with sat nav, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control and air conditioning, plus alloy wheels on the outside.
