2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI – First Drive and Review – The Diesel Driver – The Joy of Diesel Driving

It’s clear that Volkswagen has injected even more Fahrvergnügen into the seventh-generation Golf TDI than it had into previous Golfs and Rabbits.  Fahrvergnügen, by the way, is a word coined by Volkswagen for use in several past U.S. advertising campaigns.  It joins “Fahr” (from fahren, “to drive”) with Vergnügen, “pleasure,” the combination to convey “driving pleasure.”
