"The Amarok's most impressive quality is its range. We managed 500 miles (on one tank) despite the off-roading and some sustained 100mph-plus running over the plains."
Car, 2010
"This is easily the most car-like truck we've tried."
Car, 2010
"The six-speed manual 'box is great; muscular enough to remind you you're driving a truck, but way slicker and more precise than any rival we've tried."
Car, 2010
"The smooth-running Volkswagen rides and handles surprisingly well for a 4x4 load-shifter, and with 163PS to play with there is no lack of performance. Off-road its ability is significantly ahead of its rivals."
Business Car, 2010
"The Amarok is an extraordinarily competent off-roader and no slouch on ordinary highways either. It looks like the competitors will have to raise their game."
Diesel Car, 2010
"Winner of the International Pick-up Award 2011"
International Pick-up Award, 2011
"The Amarok has moved the game on significantly in the pick-up sector"

"Amarok is easily as good as anything Volkswagen's rivals have to offer and in many respects significantly better given some of its intelligently-thought-out features. If you're in the market for a new pick-up then you've got to check Amarok out the first chance you get."
What Van?, 2010
"It's a tribute to the designers that, apart from climbing rather than lowering yourself into the driver's seat, there's nothing to betray the vehicle's utilitarian nature until you look closely at the 4WD buttons around the gearlever."
Autocar, 2010
"The Amarok feels like it will go pretty much anywhere. The traction control has enough intelligence to allow you to creep up ridiculous inclines"
Autocar, 2010
"The Amarok boasts the build quality the German firm is famous for, allied to a sophisticated four-wheel drive system, ample load bed and a spacious cabin."
Auto Express, 2010
"The market for luxurious pick-ups is a growing one - and VW is set to take a big slice of the action."
Auto Express, 2010
"The new VW cabin has the usual great build quality feel that the Japanese pick-ups simply can't match."
Auto Express, 2010

Why I love my Caddy

Chris Ayling of Global Options began using the Caddy back in 1999 and is impressed with its staying power

Our international express courier business has been using Volkswagen vans since 1999. When we set up the company we wanted to use Volkswagens as they’re not too big and bulky and have great fuel economy and longevity.

Long distance, short costs

All our vans are fully equipped with air conditioning and electric windows. A big plus with the Caddy is the option of side-loading doors on both sides. It's such a useful feature for a van to have as it doesn't matter which side of the road you're parked on, you can get access without having to stand in the road. It's not only convenient, it's important for safety too. The vans do about 50,000 miles a year and are all over the place. From central London, travelling across Europe from France to Greece and back again. With these kind of distances, comfort for our drivers is very important and we've found that Volkwagen offer us exactly what we require. The Caddy's running costs are really low - with their very efficient and reliable engines we are not only saving money, but we also have the peace of mind that our vans will be on the road 24/7. In short, they're perfect for a business that relies on its vehicles.

My favourite features:

Wide sliding doors

Great for awkward, difficult to load items - we've found them the widest of any small van
Great engine

The engine's not only efficient, it's powerful too
CD Player

When you travel the distances our drivers do you need some light relief and the CD player is easy to use so your mind is always on the road
