Overall a good car. Has had a few electronics issues over the years, but mostly reliable. Smooth ride. Drives very tightly. Great for zipping around town. Small so easy to fit in tight spaces. Over the years the headliner has started to fall down, which is not atypical for most cars.

A normal guys review of his vehicle.
The golf is a great vehicle. It is reliable, fun to drive, and really roomy for how small it is. I think that it is fun to drive for a modest hatchback. My biggest problem with the car is that it is expensive to maintain. I tried to do some of the work myself and you need very specific told to do some of the jobs which makes it hard for people to do at home. If you live in a large city there will be a dealership nearby that it should be taken to but all the parts are very expensive. If it was a bit easier to work on at home or a big cheaper to maintain I would give it five stars.

That if you car about the environment or fuel efficiency it is a great car
I like it because it is reliable and gets good mileage. I do not like that it is not very prestigious

Despite how small it looks on the outside, it is quite spacious.
The car is high in miles, so it is bound to have some issues, but most I can fix myself. The car is spacious and has great gas mileage. For enthusiasts, there are not many engine mods for this trim, so you'll most likely be wanting a gti if that is your alley.

A good car for small families.
My car was bought secondhand, so I believe my problems are mostly related to basic wear and tear. I have a hard time with stains, and the car I bought is heavily stained. I cannot seem to feel comfortable in it because of the visual, but it is a good little car. Still runs well, is reliable even though it is second hand. Not ideal if you travel with a lot of cargo or baggage, but it is great for everyday family use. I have a little brother and I think he enjoys the room he has for his car seat. Radio sounds great, perfect amount of bass, and for me a radio is all I'll ever need.

Great car, sensor has issues.
The only problem I have had consistently is my sensors have been funky for a while. Telling me that my lights do not work (when they do). I love the handle on this car and how easy it is. Gas is cheap to fill. It is a fun little car with a surprising amount of space.

Small, safe and spacey. Love my golf.
I absolutely love the size of the golf. It's small enough to park easily in urban areas (at work and in my neighborhood). It's compact but still feels safe and it has a decent amount of space for bags and other misc items

Small but spacious good quality vehicle.
Love my vehicle no issues besides regular wear and tear replacing brakes, oil change etc. Especially like that it feels like there is some substance to the car it feels solid and save. Even though it is a smaller vehicle it still feels roomy and spacious.

VW Reliability...What's the truth
The A/C would turn on. Fixed under warranty. I did have to explain the issue about 3 times, because the techs wanted to just do a freon refill.

The best car: the Volkswagen is the a great car. It does everything great.
My car is very reliable. When I had a flat tire it was very easy to change. The car drives very nicely and smoothly. The interior is very comfortable and stylish. The best features are the cruise control and seat warmers. The amount of coolant can be a problem but other than that it's a great car. I would highly recommend it.

It is amazing. If it breaks down, it'll be hard to find parts.
The Volkswagen I have is amazing. Yes it may be small but it is very fast for a small car. It can fit five people and the gas mileage is very good as well. This type of car is made from Germany so if it breaks down, it'll be hard to find parts that's the only bad thing about it.

My vehicle is very reliable and has never broken down. It is easy to drive and has a small turn radius. It doesn't need much fuel and is the perfect city vehicle.

I like that it fits in small spots. It also has good gas mileage. Although it is small on the outside, it's room inside. It is keeping it's value.

Great little car for city living.
It is had various small issues over the years (electrical problems, door handles unreliable) but no major defects. Performance is good, it is been a very reliable little hatchback. Great for city life - small enough to park in tight spaces but with surprisingly high capacity inside for transporting stuff. Cute and practical. I do wish the fuel economy was a little better.

That it gets really great gas mileage, pretty easy to maintain.
It is small, convenient for quick travel without using a lot of gas, still spacious enough for others to ride along.

I drove from Vermont to Connecticut to get my zippy, zooming Volkswagen golf.
Overall, I love my 2010 VW golf. It is very comfortable, rides smooth, and has a great turning radius to name a few of its great features. I have the two door 2. 5L version and the engine feels sturdy. Rear visibility is not the car's most valuable asset; when driving on the highway it is sometimes difficult to see out the back, especially when checking to pass. This makes for a pretty significant blind spot, but it is manageable. The golf is equipped with Bluetooth hookup and calling, however, if you are driving above 40-50 mph it gets muffled for the person on the other line. But, it still has Bluetooth calling! Overall, great car.

Reliable, easy, Jetta with more room.
It is a used car and I bought it when it already had over 100,000 miles on it. That said, I really love Volkswagen and had a Jetta previously. What I love about the golf is that it gives me just a little extra room and trunk space for trips, projects, etc. I have had it for nearly two years now and all I have had to do is replace the tires once. Very low maintenance car, haven't had any issues at all, and if you treat it right, you can get really great mileage.

Volkswagen golf's are very comfortable, reliable daily cars.
The car is very smooth and easy to drive. It is reliable if you are willing to maintain it, but once it hits 100, 000 miles, you have to be willing to put more work into the car because various gaskets start to leak oil. The car looks small on the outside but is actually very spacious with 5 seat belts and a spacious trunk. It is relatively quiet to drive, and has heated seats as a bonus. It also gets relatively good gas mileage for both city and highway driving.

Heated seats are amazing!
The car has started to rust early and the brakes sometime drag. The car is very comfortable to drive and suitable for a small family. It is a solid car in the snow when it has snow tires. So far it has been a reliable car and has made a couple long trips.

I have a fully functional sunroof which opens all the way.
I love my car it has good speed and comfort. It is and always has been very reliable I have had no major issues with it and have kept up to date with all services and guidelines. It runs well in all weather conditions and is very user friendly. It remains modern and does not feel outdated at all.

The VW golf is an efficient car for city living.
The VW golf is fantastic. I feel very safe in it with all the airbags and it is always a smooth ride. The inside of the car is surprisingly roomy and when you fold down the back seats, you can definitely carry a lot of things in the back. Gas mileage is great as well and the size of the car makes it easy to park almost anywhere.

Great little car my VW golf.
It drives like the day I first bought it after 170k miles. It is a little more expensive to maintain versus other foreign cars like Toyota or Honda, but better quality. The dealerships have always done a fine job with maintenance or repairs. My VW golf has good space for storage and comfortable.

Our vehicle is black and has a hatchback.
The clutch and brakes have worn out over time, drives for long distances very well. Handles all types of weather. Has lots of room once seats fold down for extra storage. Love to bring friends and the pets inside and they love coming in the car. Great purchase.

The VW Golf is quite reliable car. There has only been a few repairs needed over the last few years of owning this car. The battery does seem to drain slightly higher than my previous cars.

The vehicle is great for road trips as the seats fold down and you can camp in it. It eats gas like crazy! Parts are difficult and expensive to replace. Something is ALWAYS wrong, always!
The car has been great during the winter moths. I feel very safe driving it.

Cozy cute and capable! The VW golf serves many purposes in my life.
I love my golf! The hatchback and folding back seats are helpful in hauling everything from groceries to 50lb bags of horse feed! The heated seats are so comfortable in the winter I never want to get out! It is reliable and cute! I plan to buy another VW and give my current one to my son within the next 2 years.
