E-golf is a practical and luxurious drive.
Love everything about it!Easy and fun to drive, great mileage, good storage, comfortable... I feel good about driving it because it is electric. Sometimes tot squeaks a bit when it is cold outside, though. Wish I could upgrade to a battery with more range.

The most fun little car I have ever driven.
I have not had any issues with my e-Golf. I absolutely love it. It drives very well. The car is sturdy. The acceleration is very fun.

Amazing volkswagen that is fuel efficient.
I really like my volkswagen because it's fast and cool. The handling is good. It also is fuel efficient. Has a large gas tank. I went out of town to florida and took my volkswagen and it was a smooth road trip. I only stopped for gas once. Overall it's a good car to buy for somebody.

Plenty of room. You can move the back seats down and have tons of room.
It is a great vehicle. Station wagon, so it holds a lot. Automatic. Has had some recalls, but most new cars do. I have really enjoyed it. Gas mileage is pretty good. Color is blue, a nice dark blue. You can put the back seats down and have plenty more room to put groceries, furniture to move, or anything else you want to move from one place to another.

Great car, design and options are awesome, only gets low range mileage on trips.
I really like the Egolf for it is design, interior and various options. I do wish that I could get a longer range from it but considering it is an electric car it gets the job done. If you do not need to travel a long distance this is a great all around car.

It is very comfortable and also it does not spend a lot of gas.
The battery does not last long, I have to change it very often. Probably between 3 to 5 or 6 month, not more than that.

Is it a VW golf..No, it's an Egolf!
Nice style same as gasoline engine golf. Save a ton of money on gasoline and maintenance. Great second car for local or commute to work. Wish it had a little more range and wish the heat warmed faster in winter. Overall was a good investment for the money.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Gabriella M.

Fully electric, fast acceleration, comfortable seating, heating and ac come on fast, not having to go to the gas station, can charge from home, trunk has good space also. That is all the pros I can list right now.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Gabriella M.

The range is small, it must be charged every night. The air conditioning takes away the range quickly. We have been stuck at home on several occasions because we couldn't drive 35-40 minutes with the air conditioning on.
