The trendy and refined new 2002 Volkswagen Golf Hatchback
continues to be as popular as ever, with its sensible attention
to detail, fun ride, and excellent handling. With a solid
history of producing high-quality vehicles for the jet set,
Volkswagen's fashionable Golf Hatchback lives up easily
to the reputation that VW has established.
Available Models
The 2002 line up consists of four different hatchback
models - Golf GL 2.0L, Golf GL TDI, Golf GLS 2.0L, and Golf
GLS TDI. The Golf GL models feature two doors plus a convenient
rear hatch, while the Golf GLS models sport four doors plus
the rear hatch.
Interior Features
Within the comfortable cabin of the 2002 Volkswagen
Golf are features like chrome interior door handles, valet
key, cruise control, power windows, CFC-free air conditioning,
and a 60/40 split folding rear seat to create extra cargo
space. The list continues with four tie-down cargo hooks,
power door locks, and an AM/FM stereo cassette player with
eight speakers and optional CD changer.
The VW Golf GL models are finished off with flat woven
cloth seat fabric, while the GLS models are upholstered
in velour.
