| Price of the Volkswagen Golf / Rabbit / GTI: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr 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. |
| 2011 | 4dr 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. |
| 2010 | 2dr 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. |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 5-speed manual FWD |
Relatively low payment, get lots of nonstandard options as standard on VWs |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed automated manual AWD |
Purchased as a used-corp. leased vehicle at a 30%+ discount |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed automated manual AWD |
I paid 23K for a 2008 with 6K miles. |
| 2008 | 2dr 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. |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Great value for the engineering and materials |
| 2007 | 2dr 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 |
| 2007 | 2dr 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). |
| 2002 | 4dr 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. |

| 2012 | 2dr 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! |
| 2010 | 4dr 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. |
| 2009 | 2dr 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 |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
they are a little pricey compared to others with similar MPG |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Pretty expensive to buy in Canada |
| 2006 | 4dr 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. |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 180hp 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The price was more than a Passat |

| 2010 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Add a few options and it gets very close to the $30k bracket which puts it in competition with some much more refined machines. |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
Without the federal tax credit and state sales tax deduction, this car would have been almost out of our budget range. |
