Price of the Volkswagen Golf / Rabbit / GTI: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
20134dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD		The TDI was more than $7,000 cheaper than a Golf R. You have to really want the R to pay the premium. I wanted it more than my wife did. Guess who won? Three months later, I'm very happy with the economy but feeling no pain as the car is still great to drive everyday.
20114dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed automated manual FWD		For 35 percent less monthly than the BMW I can own the car rather than lease.
20102dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		For the amount of standard equipment (ESP, 6-speed tiptronic, 170 hp engine), it is actually cheaper than a similarly configured Honda Civic or even Fit. Great value for money.
20092dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
5-speed manual FWD		Relatively low payment, get lots of nonstandard options as standard on VWs
20082dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed automated manual AWD		Purchased as a used-corp. leased vehicle at a 30%+ discount
20082dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed automated manual AWD		I paid 23K for a 2008 with 6K miles.
20082dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		Reasonable trade-in value on the 2002 GTI, + incentives, "drive-away" lease program = $88/month.
20072dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		Great value for the engineering and materials
20072dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		For about $17,000, the best package of standard equipment available today! Aircon, 4-wheel disk brakes, stability control, electric-assist power steering, power everything, remote entry, alarm, zippy 2.5 liter engine, comfortable seats, large cargo room
20072dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		The GTI was much cheaper then most other cars I was considering (3-series, A4, 9-3, TSX, and G35).
20024dr Hatch 115-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		$15,000 is a good price given that it carries 4 people+ gear in good comfort, gets decent fuel economy, and has an interior looking at least one class above.

20122dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
5-speed manual FWD		I mentioned earlier that the Golf is still assembled in Wolfsburg, Germany, and hasn't been moved to any of VW's new world plants. This might be a mark in its favor vis-à-vis quality control, but the Euro-dollar exchange rate is not your friend on this model. 18K is a steep base price in this segment (although, to be fair, you often have to step up to some kind of "sport" trim line in other cars to get remotely competitive refinement). Things only get worse from here, as the jump to a GTI or a TDI is quite brutal. But if you just remind yourself that you're buying into the cheapest European car to be had in the United States, a car of exquisite refinement, I find that the sting goes away very quickly!
20104dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		There are many other similarly sized cars that cost much less. The extra cost gets you the better handling, faster engine, and higher quality interior.
20092dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		not willing to deal at all, I get a supplier discount and it didnt matter
20082dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		they are a little pricey compared to others with similar MPG
20072dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		Pretty expensive to buy in Canada
20064dr Hatch turbocharged 100hp 1.9L I4 Diesel
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		VW golf seems to be priced a lot higher than equivalent japanese or north american compact cars.
20052dr Hatch turbocharged 180hp 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		The price was more than a Passat

2013 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Here is the true selling point for the Golf for those who value substance and quality vs Style and quantity of accouterments. Almost every surface in the front and rear has heft and depth in quality to it. If the VW logo on the steering were replaced with an Audi's one would be ok with it. But its phenomenal that it can be had for just above $17K. No other economy car comes even close. Paint quality is exceptional and "orange peel" effect is minimal and hard to identify. Under body and under hood plastics feel and look of good quality and well designed. No flashy designs here. Guaranteed, 10 years from now - it will still look fresh.
2013 4dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD		 Both cars seem well made, but the Honda had huge expanses of cheap-feeling plastic, whereas more of the VW were soft-touch. The Golf felt more precise and doors closed softly and firmly, seats moved easily, and controls felt better.
2012 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
5-speed manual FWD		 It's hardly a secret at this point that, whatever else VW has done with its U.S. models, the Golf is exceptionally refined and well-made both inside and out. Materials feel luxurious, especially on the dash; you really have to search to find a hard or flimsy piece of plastic. VW even bothered to cover the seatbelt fasteners with some kind of faux velvet. The seats are comfortable and sporty, and they look about as good as cloth can look - with a kind of textured stitching that also serves to keep you from sliding around. I've put 25K miles on the car and the seats are still as springy and firm as when I bought it. Perhaps best of all, the doors (at least on my 3-door version) are weighty and shut with an extremely satisfying thunk. This car feels far more luxurious than its price would suggest.
2012 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Materials seem good for the class. Some plastic looks cheap, but not bad for the price point.
2011 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
5-speed manual FWD		 Soft touch, well made materials all around, the very few areas where VW cheaped out are in out of the way locations.
2010 4dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD		 The materials in this car are top notch. I am shocked by the number of $50000 luxury cars that have cheaper feeling interiors than this car (the latest BMW 3-Series for example).
2010 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Awesome materials, great fit and finish, no squeaks, rattles or creaks, and it just feels incredibly well put together.
2010 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 it looks good and feels good to touch.
2009 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Best in class, and in the case of the GTI, better than much more expensive vehicles. Stitching, steering wheel, metal accents on vents, I could go on...
2009 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
5-speed manual FWD		 Everything fits, small gapping, solid feeling car. Nothing falling off or breaking easily.
2009 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 seemed well made/good materials and craftsmanship
2008 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 As often said, interior more Audi-esque than Mazda-like. Rock-solid construction, interior materials exceptional, all controls are illuminated, extensive warranty consistent w/ that.
2008 2dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed automated manual AWD		 The dash top/door panels, and the leather/vinyl are first rate. The hard (cheap) plastic is regulated to the lower sections of the interior where it can hide. The doors shut very easily, with a solid thunk. All controls have a solid click.
2008 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 great!!
2008 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 The only car in its price category to have an Audi-equivalent interior. Soft-touch materials, all controls (dash, wheel, doors) illuminated, no rattles/squeaks, excellent seats, all seams regular and tight.
2008 2dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed automated manual AWD		 The interior of every VW is leagues above its segment rivals, and the Golf/Rabbit is no exception. The materials are top-notch, the fit and finish is excellent, and the design is aesthetically pleasing.
2008 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Easy access to spark plugs for replacement, cast iron engine for longevity, timing chains are a tossup - they should last a long time, but when they go, they will be too expensive to replace. Doors are over-engineered and strong - you can swing from them.
2008 2dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed automated manual AWD		 The interior is very well done. The attention to detail is very high. The exterior design is very functional and understated.
2008 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This is one of the main things that turned us off from the Fit. The interior on the Rabbit just seems more solid, of a higher quality, and a lot quieter ride. The front seats are incredibly comfortable and adjustable.
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 The interior is very nicely put together. It feels like a much more expensive car than it actually is.
2008 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
5-speed manual FWD		 The quality of the car feels "solid", not cheap and plastic.
2008 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 seems to be a solidly built car
2008 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5

2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 German engineering babe! Of course they can improve but hey for a 25k car is not bad.
2007 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Great interior material quality and assembly.
2007 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 Solid German engineering. I have the Fahrenheit edition, so they threw in everything you could possibly get, and topped it with a Lamborghini Orange paint job.
2007 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 Dashboard materials and soft plastics, and seat fabrics easily blow away any other competitors. Everything else--Imprezas to Evolutions to Cobalt SS--all looks like a plastic rental car compared to the GTI.
2007 4dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Interior quality is top notch
2004 4dr Hatch turbocharged 100hp 1.9L I4 Diesel
5-speed manual FWD		 The interior has the quality of a car costing twice as much. Fit and finish is top notch.
2003 4dr Hatch turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel
5-speed manual FWD		 Good quality. No stupid plastic pieces breaking under normal use, interrior stays together, no sqeaks, the odd rattle when on a really rough road.

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For the MK VI which is focusing on better interior acoustics, I am very disappointed to have the wind noise problem on my doors.
2007 2dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 design issues with air cleaner location make it very difficult to change (hidden on bottom of engine cover). Oil filter has gone back 10 years from my other vw. requires special tools for simple maintenance. High cost of bringing it in.
