2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by Jromita

Interior styling

Clean and logical interior layout.

Ride smoothness

This car's ride quality is more in line with a bigger, less nimble car. One of the top reasons I bought this car over others I was considering.

Rear seat room & comfort

Four adults can easily and comfortably fit in this car, with plenty of room for luggage.

Materials & workmanship

Materials seem good for the class. Some plastic looks cheap, but not bad for the price point.

Powertrain performance

The manual transmission is really just there. Gear changes happen, and the shifter is smooth, but also vague and unconnected.

Audio & nav systems

The nav screen is a touch small and does not have a traffic feature.

Feature availability

I would have likes automatic climate control and a heated steering wheel.
