2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by DarronS

Fuel economy

Averaging 40 mpg over the first 200 miles. Online reports indicate this will go up as engine accumulates miles and breaks in.

Handling

Razor sharp responses make the C30 feel a bit loose.

Quietness

Much quieter on the inside than the C30.Lack of tire roar and wind noise are major pluses.

Rear seat room & comfort

Good leg room for a small car. Supportive seats.

Audio & nav systems

The touch screen display is excellent. I was skeptical at first, but after living with the car a few hours I have learned its usefulness.
