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. |

2003 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member5281 VW continues to practice minimalist styling, in constrast to the crazy-making distraction present in Ford and Hyundais. Don't want your iPhone to talk to your car and tweet to your friends? This is your car. Excellent materials throughout. |

2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member5407 Clean and logical interior layout. |
|
2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4950 Not enough choices. My preference, the United Gray was not avaiable on any lot within 50 miles in the trim and trans I wanted. |

2007 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member5330 Very functional instrument layout, high quality materials throughout, attractive illumination. |

2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member4796 4-wheel drive gives absolute confidence under all non-winter conditions. Drive stupid fast (100+) on long sweeps in lousy wet weather with complete composure. Never white knuckles at my skill level. Car has higher limits. Even OK (with care) on ice. |

2002 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member106 Door beams. Short braking distance. 6 airbags |
|
2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4321 Soft touch, well made materials all around, the very few areas where VW cheaped out are in out of the way locations. |

2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons DarronS For 35 percent less monthly than the BMW I can own the car rather than lease. |
|
2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons DarronS Averaging 40 mpg over the first 200 miles. Online reports indicate this will go up as engine accumulates miles and breaks in. |
|
2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons DarronS Understated design will still be attractive in five years |
|
2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons DarronS The four-dooor hatchback is a very pretty car. Looking back through the years you can see the evolution of the design. I like the understated styling. |
