Volkswagen Golf 
Tremendously popular in Quebec, the Volkswagen Golf comes in several different trims that share three distinct engine options for buyers to choose from. The 2.5L 5-cylinder produces 170 hp, while the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbodiesel offers an impressive fuel consumption rate of just 4.6 L/100 km (highway). Finally, the more energetic GTI is equipped with a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that unleashes 200 hp and 207 lbs.-ft. of torque. And let’s not forget the ultra sporty Golf R.
