Performance, Economy, Reliability, FUN 2016 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Love Letter Member4890 This is the most enjoyable car I have owned. After the kids grew up, I was able to comfortable "downsize" to this car. I am getting great mileage (32-35MPG) on a 220HP car that peforms great. I spent months deciding on which car in this catogry to buy (criteria: hatch... |

2019 VW GTI Rabbit Edition is so much fun and full of practicality 2019 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Love Letter Member3349 The 2019 VW GTI Rabbit edition is so special. It was such a huge upgrade from the S model and made even better with the Clark Plaid cloth seats. Every sporty car should have cloth seats. |

Bought certified used; sportwagen FWD 2017 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Love Letter A member in Wisconsin, United States I have had great reliabillity with this car. Not a single problem other than a minor recall which gave me no problems. It's quick, fun to drive, has more cargo space than many compact suv's, and gets great mileage. On a long road trip to California last year, I averaged... |

MINI Cooper S Clubman All4 - the perfect vehicle for the MINIature family 2017 Mini Clubman Pros and Cons Member4023 11 years ago, my wife, fresh out of nursing school, ordered her first car. Pepper, the pampered, sweet 2005 MINI Cooper S was the perfect car for snaking through traffic and parking in a crowded college town. As we transitioned through our twenties, into marriage, and parenthood, Pepper has faithfully... Comparison vehicle: 2007 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI |

VW GTI with performance pack 2016 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Love Letter Member3405 We have been driving a 2010 GTI, which is a good car, but wanted the latest version. There were no 2 door GTIs with the performance pack in SoCal, so we had to special order this car, which made it difficult to get a discount. It took 4 months. But... |

Best Car Ever 2013 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Love Letter Member5528 Although a small exterior, the interior is roomy enough for my 6'2" boyfriend to comfortably fit for long drives and my 4.5yr old to be in a full car seat behind him while carring enough luggage for a week long trip. This vehicle has needed absolutely no repairs and since... |

MKVII VW GTI S DSG is a terrific car 2015 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Love Letter Member6010 I wanted a car with some personality and a lot of speed. I'm 60+ years old so I didn't want a kids' sports car, but neither did I want an appliance. I love to drive, although my daily commute is pretty much flat and straight. I did a lot of... |

TDI Golf - What's not to love? 2015 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Love Letter Bob R I had a 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit S 2.5 5-speed that I really liked a lot and gave to my son. Great handling, torquey engine, good ride, roomy, practical, but only 2 doors. VWoA would not let you have 4 doors with a gas engine and a manual transmission. And they...

Best Car I've Owned 2015 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Love Letter Member3485 I picked up a fresh "just off the truck" GTI Autobahn a couple of weeks ago. I've owned a lot of cars, but this is, dollar for dollar, the best. Small (great for my parking garage) but expandable in the cargo department. DSG seems better than that on the CC... |

What to Love (And Hate) About a Mk6 GTI 2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member6348 Overall, a great, great, great car! Holds its own with car twice the price, and shames others that cost the same. Has some high points, and some low points, but ultimately rewards a patient, car-loving driver like few other cars can. |

A number of improvements for both performance and fuel economy. I like it so much that I bought another 2003 Golf TDI, this one with only 122k miles. Very nearly a perfect... |

The Mk. V GTI is a fun car, but not worth owning. 2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Anonymous The Mk. V GTI is a very fun car to drive. It strike an excellent balance of speed, handling, and practicality. |

One of the best to drive, but not to ride 2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons TedK The Golf TDI is the ultimate highway car for efficiency, and one of the best for curvy drives. If you are a driver's driver, the Golf must be one of your top choices. However for passengers, it is the European version of comfortable: from a North American point of view... |

2009 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member3671 Excellent, responsive and reliable motor, superb six speed manual transmission. The TSi package has proven all I hoped it would be. |
Hidden gem for the right price, CPO 2012 Golf R AWD performance hot hatch 2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member1788 We cross shopped this '12 Golf R for a few months against both new '13's and some early introduced '14's --- namely the Golf GTI (second choice if we couldn't get the price down on the Golf R), Scion FR-S (great car but cheap materials and skimpy backseat w/o much... |

2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member5746 I bought this car because it was great to drive, and because I was so impressed with the 'flappy paddle' DSG gearbox. Sadly after a year, I really just wanted to go back to driving a regular manual. rnI did have a warranty repair (water pump) and the dealerships... |

A classy and refined European compact 2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member5501 It's easy to argue for other models on value and fuel economy, but the 2012 Golf is an exceptionally well-made vehicle, a pleasure to spend time in and to drive, and worth the rather hefty up-front investment. |

2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member5697 I bought the Golf because it's fun to drive, very spacious, performs well, gets great fuel economy, and has a very nice interior. The Legacy has a larger back seat and all wheel drive, but was not nearly as fun to drive or fuel efficient. The Golf feels... Comparison vehicle: 2010 Subaru Legacy |

2013 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member1664 If there were a category for a high end economy car, the sub $21K VW Golf 2.5 has the market covered. No other car in this category comes close. VW has a winner here. |

2013 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member3466 The Golf TDI was much more nimble feeling than the Honda Accord coupe. We took both on narrow winding frost-heaved Connecticut back roads and the VW was much more in its element, while the Honda crashed on its bump stops and plowed in the corners. |

Still happy with Golf TDI after first 5,000 miles 2013 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member3466 Fun to drive while getting mid-40's miles per gallon. Quiet, enough room for a small family, and remarkably well made. What's not to like? See below. |
2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member3466 Both the TDI and the R are much slower cars than the Nissan 370Z I am trading in. So the difference between them is much smaller than their difference vs. the Z. They are both slow cars, relatively. But both are fun to drive, which is what... |

2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member3520 The VW GTI's exterior is much more understated and less "boy racer" than the Mazda 3. It's a little boring to some, but I consider it classy and timeless. The panels fit much better than the Mazda 3 as well. |
