This Digital Drive Top 10 award is a twofer, going to the economical Volkswagen Golf TDI diesel and, as long as we’ve got the Golf diesel in the winner’s circle, the fire-breathing VW GTI that is based on the Golf. Both start with the nicely upgraded 2010 Golf chassis and interior. The Golf TDI gets 42 mpg on the highway, 40 percent better than the gas-engine Golf, and most drivers should be able to match or better that EPA rating.
The GTI’s most impressive statistic is smiles per gallon: You reach 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, while the highway mileage rating is the same 31 mpg as the vanilla gasoline-engine Golf.
