Explanation:
When it comes to Diesel cars/engines, the VW Golf tops the charts.

As regards diesel engines, the VW Golf comes first in the popularity stakes.

The VW Golf is undoubtedly the most popular diesel car around.

I don’t think this is necessarily about best performance/economy. The chart topping success of the VW Golf could simply mean that it is the most popular, best selling etc overall.

Hope it helps
