Enjoy my friends!

Here what I fond on VW official website:

If you buy a Volkswagen Golf S model you will get a total of £3,950 saving off diesel engines and £3,250 saving off petrol engines. This saving includes the £1,000 incentive from the Government.  This means you can now buy a new Golf S 1.4 80PS 3dr from £10,335 in conjunction with the government scrappage scheme. (Golf SE, GT, GTI and GTD models will continue to get the standard £2,000 scrappage scheme incentive).

Volkswagen are also offering a total of £4,250 saving off all models in the Passat range, including Saloon, Estate and CC.  This saving includes £1,000 incentive from the Government.  This means you can now buy a new Passat Saloon from £12,190 in conjunction with the government scrappage scheme.

But what about my old car?

To be eligible for this saving your old car must be scrapped under the new Government scheme. Your old car must have been registered on or before 31st August 1999 and you must have owned the car for a minimum of 1 year. The Government and Volkswagen will then contribute £1,000 each towards the price of your new Volkswagen.  The scheme will help remove older cars from our roads, replacing them with safer and more environmentally-friendly models.

Please contact your local retailer for further details of this scheme.

Government Scrappage Scheme – Full terms and conditions:

The Government Scrappage Scheme offer applies to vehicles registered to private retail customers. The scheme is available from 5th June 2009 until the Government funding expires or until 28th February 2010, whichever comes first.

You must have a UK address on the registration certificate and a current MOT test certificate and have no outstanding finance on the vehicle before the new vehicle is ordered.

And the content, I have an idea to write about everything related to cars, not only the MK2, what about that?

It’s clear now that this post is not about Cars! It’s about the blog itself, so I will appreciate any feedbacks when ever you come through My Golf II blog.

Should I write about Volkswagen only?

This blog was specially created for the Volkswagen Golf MK2, as I am a fan of this specific car, but I am wondering what will happen in the feature of this blog, I have some experience now with blogs, so what is the plan for this one?!

Can the MK2 bring good traffic for this blog?  Do people search enough about this classic old car?! This is what I am wondering!

Should I shift it to write about all Volkswagen cars? Should I expand my blog to contain All Germany Cars? Or open it up and make it more wider?

Should I change my blog Categories?

Maybe changing categories of the blog is a good idea, but what categories should I have? suggest some categories for me!

In North America, the Golf Mk1 was sold as the Volkswagen Rabbit. In Mexico, the Golf Mk1 was sold as the Volkswagen Caribe.

As of 2008, the Golf Mk1 is still being produced in South Africa as the Volkswagen Citi Golf.

The Golf Mk1 is also featured in the game midnight club los angeles.

Like its predecessor the Volkswagen Beetle, the Volkswagen Golf Mk1 has proved to be influential. In continuous production since 1974, the Golf was one of the first widely successful front wheel drive hatchbacks. In the USA, the Rabbit would spark another generation of VW-alike front-wheel drive American compacts, such as the Omni, Escort and Cavalier in the 1980s, just as the Beetle inspired Falcon and Corvair in 1960s and subcompact Vega and Pinto in the 1970s. The Golf’s performance also defined the hot hatch before youth started tuning their imports.

Replacing the Beetle was a vital goal for Volkswagen’s continued survival. By the early 1970s, the company had fallen into financial woe. The novelty of the Beetle had worn thin. Sales were in terminal decline. The front-engine, rear drive small cars like the Toyota Corolla were refined enough to woo customers away from Volkswagen’s noisy underpowered engines and dated styling. The Type 3 and Type 4 fastback and squareback failed to attract much interest, whilst the NSU-developed K70 was a failure.

The small Golf had to succeed in replacing the high volume Volkswagen sedan. The upmarket Dasher/Passat would be VW’s first front wheel drive car, and it was relatively well received for its lower volume market. The Golf would adopt an efficient “two-box” layout with a steep hatch rather than a formal trunk, which would be later added in the Jetta. The water-cooled engine would be mounted transversely in the front. Work on the Golf began in 1969, shortly after Kurt Lotz became head of Volkswagen.

The entry-level model starts from £13,150. That will get you into the base S three-door model with a 1.4 liter 80PS engine. Prices rise to £20,980 for the range-topping GT five-door with 2.0-litre TDI 140 PS and six-speed DSG gearbox.

Inside, the adoption of materials and equipment usually associated with a vehicle in a higher class give a high quality feel, enhanced by new soft touch plastics and tasteful aluminum and chrome highlights.

Oh man! .. I like that car.. It’s the car of my dreams!
