Colour
Golf-6 cars are distinguished by a variety of paint coating options. Using standard paint, the car is offered in red Tornado (G2), black (A1) and white Candy (B4) colors.
Those interested can purchase a Volkswagen Golf-6 “mother-of-pearl” black (Deep Black (2T)) or blue (Graphit (W9)) color.
Seven metallic paint options:
- Amarillys (1U) - red;
- Shadon (P6) - blue;
- Shark (5R) - blue;
- Reflex (8E) - silver;
- United (X6) - gray;
- Leaf (7B) - silver.
Technical characteristics of the Golf-6
The model has a suspension of three options:
- standard,
- for bad roads
- DCC, Adaptive Chassis Control - with the system of adaptation and regulation of the chassis.
Adapted suspension depending on road conditions changes the characteristics of shock absorbers. So adjustment of a running gear is made. Adapted system consists of:
- gateway;
- four shock absorbers with electronically controlled stiffness;
- control unit;
- three body control sensors;
- 3 sensors control the movement of the wheels.
Front suspension is equipped with lightweight racks.McPherson, the rear has a four-lever design. The Golf-6 from en: ZF Friedrichshafen received the 3rd generation of electro-mechanical power steering with a steering angle sensor integrated into the steering mechanism. The amplifier is mounted on a subframe and mounted in three places.
Car VW Golf-6 borrowed steeringScirocco model column. The upgraded steering wheel is equipped with twelve multifunction buttons. In the central part is the key sound signal. Under it is a safety cushion. On the sides of the signal button, there are six keys that perform various functions. On the Golf-6 car, the new ESP module of the MK-60 EC series is used.
Electrical equipment
In individual orders model can be equippedspecial system of static adapted lighting. This means that after turning on the turn signal and the start of the maneuver, the fog light is lit on the corresponding side.
The basic equipment of the car providesinstallation of Climatic semi-automatic climate control. By the individual order the car is equipped with an automatic 2C-Climatronic climate system.
Passenger and driver's seat
The front seats can be mechanically and electrically adjustable, with four options, two of which are purely mechanical:
- allows you to control all the provisions;
- regulating one degree of freedom back pressure.
There is a combined mechanical and electricaloption. In this case, two degrees of freedom of the lumbar support of the driver's seat are regulated. And the last - electric, with the control of all positions and electrically adjustable lumbar support for the driver's seat.
In the back of the fixed seat quite comfortably can accommodate three adults. The folding back can be cleaned in the ratio 2: 1. This is convenient for placing oversized items in the rear of the Golf-6.
Safety features
В базовых комплектациях предусмотрены передние и side cushions. The latter ensure the safety of all those present in the cabin. The side and front airbags, in turn, are intended for the driver and the passenger next to him. Belts for the first row of seats are equipped with pretensioners. On request, such systems can be installed for rear passengers; side airbags can also be built in for them.
Alloy wheels
Many modern cars are equipped with castdiscs. They are set not so much to improve the appearance or as a tribute to fashion - first of all, thanks to them, the unsprung weight is reduced, and the technical parameters of the undercarriage of the car are improved. The reduced weight of the cast wheels can significantly reduce the reverse load on the undercarriage. This is reflected in the work of springs, shock absorbers, suspension arms and its other parts, significantly prolonging the life. Alloy wheels, regardless of weather conditions, provide easy handling and significantly reduce rubber wear. In addition, the braking distance is reduced, and the overall dynamic performance is improved.
Which alloy wheels to choose?
Volkswagen, AEZ, ADVAN, Anzio, Borbet, ASW и other companies produce alloy wheels, perfectly suited to the Golf-6 in all its parameters. On the car, you can install any cast. The main thing is to drive their performance met the requirements of the manufacturer. Since 2008, when for the first time the Volkswagen Golf-6 rolled off the assembly line, 7 modifications of the model have been released. All of them have many differences, but most of them have the same disk parameters. The size is formed by a number of indicators. These are: departure, width, radius, diameter of the hub and mounting bolts. For some modifications of the car parameters of sizes have their own distinctive features. So, discs with radius R17 and R18, recommended by the manufacturer for the 2.0GTi model, discs with radius R15-R18 are suitable for Golf 6 (1.4). This is explained by the fact that different modifications of the car has its own design features.
Recommendations for choosing disk sizesbased on numerous tests that are carried out with ready-made models, as well as with individual components and assemblies. Therefore, the use of discs with dimensions that do not meet the recommendations of the manufacturer (even with no significant differences) will significantly affect the handling and increase tire wear. Carried out tests and tests allow to improve the design of the car, to choose the optimal size of the disks for each modification (Trendline 1.6 Golf series, 1st Highline version and other complete sets presented by the manufacturer). This provides good vehicle performance, which, in turn, makes the model more attractive than others.
The appearance of the car Golf-6. Model Reviews
The design traced minimalism thatcharacteristic of all models of the German concern. The Golf 6 differs from the previous models with original headlights and streamlined shapes. This visually gives the car a volume and a low fit. A small Golf-6 has a length of 4199 mm, which, according to many owners, is enough for such a model. The wheelbase of 2578 mm is preserved from previous modifications of the car.
Stylish color bumper, air intake and grilleradiator stand out in appearance. The swiftness of the model is underlined by the chrome-plated headlights, which stand out against the background of a strict bumper. All these details make the German car look attractive, recognizable and stylish. The interior of the Golf-6 has not changed. However, according to many owners, the cabin has become much more comfortable.
Conclusion
Volkswagen Golf-6 can rightly be calledthe car of 2009. A distinctive feature of the model is the automatic parking system. The car has other features. These include, in particular, include: improved brake system, good noise insulation, comfortable and easy handling, maneuverability on the road. In addition, the car Golf-6 has excellent dynamic performance.
