For the S and SE trims, drivers have a choice of a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, while the SEL comes standard with the automatic transmission. Also, all Golf models are equipped with the XDS Cross Differential System, which uses sensors in the wheels to improve the car's stability, handling and corning performance.
