The brakes are well equipped with a host of technology as well - DSC (Dynamic Stability Control), ABS (anti-lock braking system), DTC (Dynamic Traction Control), CBC (Cornering Brake Control) and DBC (Dynamic Braking Control) - makes you wonder if you need to do anything braking yourself at all!

Bring the top up (it only takes 9 seconds), and you'll be surprised at how quiet the cabin is. For a soft-top convertible, the Golf manages to shut out most of the exterior ambient noise. Buses and heavy vehicles that rush by will still be very much audible though. But still very livable on a day-to-day basis.

With only 74 bhp on tap, this car is no GTi. But the 180 Nm of torque it musters is not bad. You do have to spin the engine with a foot-full of revs though, but at least you know it WILL go if you really need it to.

One look at the car and immediately you get the sense that this is no ordinary 335i. Suited with the full Aerodynamics Kit, the lower front bumper instantly adds aggression to the otherwise standard 3-Series front end. Blacked-out kidney grills also give the car a no-nonsense attitude.

On the bright side however, diesel engines are able to use 100 per cent biodiesel as their fuel, unlike petrol engines, which can so far use a mix of 95 per cent fossil fuel and 5 per cent ethanol as an alternative. Biodiesel can be made from used cooking oil, palm oil, Jatropha oil, and in many research and development projects using algae. Recently in March, Neste Oil opened its largest biodiesel plant in Singapore. Capable of producing 800,000 tonnes of renewable fuel from palm oil, the plant was built on a budget of about S$970 million.
