Boring car, but it saves me lots of troubles and gas money.
Problem: hard to change engine air filter; performance is ok, I don't really have issue with the car. It is tiny, and easy to drive, easy to find parking space in city. Gas saver. I recently had the battery changed, the old battery lasted 7 years, which is decent. I paid about 100 dollars to replace it with 5 years warranty, which is fine.

A VW symbol to open hatchback there is no push button feature from front seat.
The driver seat is made differently from the other seat and while it is comfortable to drive it is difficult to get in and out of. The windows do have the auto up and down function. The windshield wipers seem simple; however it is difficult to know if they are off. When I think they are off, they wait and swipe again.

Volkswagen golf is 5 stars.
Smooth ride and great power. I love the compact and simple style of the Volkswagen golf. Easy to just jump in and drive. Back seats lay down so there’s more room than appears on the outside. Seats are comfortable enough for long road trips. More headroom inside then it looks.

2013 VW golf, very happy with it.
No problems, any issues are because of our use, not the vehicle. It gets all the required maintenance when needed, oil, cooling, etc.

Quality car, outstanding gas mileage with style.
This car gets outstanding gas mileage and is a quality vehicle. I love the German quality and styling of almost all Volkswagens. The interior is roomy even though the car is a compact hatchback. A 6 ft person could be comfortable in any of the seats. The hatchback allows me to transport many things and it is a joy while for moving large items and goods. I have owned the car for 3 years and have had no issues. I would always recommend a Volkswagen to people he inquire about the car company.

It's a 2013 golf r has everything you could ask for.
No problems love my car just maintain it very well. AWD is great it's manual to its short and compact but a blast to drive. It's a 2013 golf r with leather seats and sunroof. 18' wheels are great and the blue color is to die for. Volkswagen did a spectacular job.

That it gets great gas mileage, the color is nice and the interior is very nice also. Doesn't take much maintenance
It gets really good gas mileage. It may be small but has enough room for our family. And I like the color.

Very reliable vehicle. Excellent gas mileage. Sporty, comfortable ride. Handles smoothly. Can handle various road conditions with ease. Very roomy interior. Plenty of legroom and headroom in the front and back seats. Excellent sounding stereo system.

Review of 2013 Volkswagen Golf
Overall the car drives smoothly and I have had no major problems with it in the past six years. Occasionally the check engine light comes on but goes off by itself. After six years the car has almost 100,000 miles on it. The car is very small and drives very low to the ground. It has been a good car overall but I would not buy another one. It is too small and impractical for future use. The car does not do good in the snow and other inclement weather. The car is pushed by the wind when driving at fast speeds.

My VW golf is a great commuter.
It has been reliable, decent gas mileage, comfortable seating for a long ride, has more pick up and go than a 4 cylinder. I like the hatchback trunk that had plenty of storage. It is the perfect size for a small family or single person. Mine is white and I like it and would recommend.

Reliable/comfortable/lots of room in back, especially when back seats are down.
I have had my car over 6 years and had very little issues. I love the hatchback trunk and the small size of the car. My back seats fold down so I can hull larger items. I do not have many special features but if I could add anything, I would add sunroof.

Volkswagen golf 2013- zippy and reliable.
I love my Volkswagen golf. It is reliable and small enough to fit into just about any parking space. It is nice and zippy to drive with great visibility. I would this vehicle to anyone looking to purchase. Size wise - I haven't had an issue but if you are planning on transporting large objects/need a lot of space, this might not be the best fit. As a single person with no kids, this is my perfect car.

I love the performance of the Golf R. The car is amazing in the snow and has really comfortable seats. The one thing i dislike is the gas mileage.

I love it is dependability.
I love my golf! It is perfect for road trips and very dependable. It handles really well and I love how compact it is but that it still offers a lot of room with the hatch. The only thing I would say negative about it, is how the tires handle in the snow.

Very reliable and gets excellent gas mileage.
Overall the VW golf has been reliable. We've taken it on many long car trips. We are beginning to have some issues, we had to replace the serpentine belt and had an issue with the throttle body. But those are the only issues. Otherwise it is a reliable car that gets excellent gas mileage.

The best car for young man.
It has been a great car for all the years I had it for. I haven't been able to maintain it as I would have liked. The car is standard so it makes it a joy to ride, I wish VW was better with their services. However, I love the brand as whole and been a great car for all the time I have had it for.

It is Bluetooth capable but has a regular voltage plug still, no direct usb.
My car is the perfect size for me. It's cute and compact but not suffocating and has 4 doors. It runs quite well and I've never had any problems with it. The mileage is fair as well.

All around great economical car to buy!
It has great gas mileage. Can go a week or so without filling it up. The diesel fuel is inexpensive. Mine has a small hitch. Good sound system with a good bass. It does not have map navigation. It has heated seats for a fabric car which is pretty cool. The windows are in great design. I have a wide range view. It would've been nice to have a backup sensor or camera.

It's very comfortable and it drives very nice. I have not had to spend much on fixing the car as i've only had to do upkeep maintenance. Ben very lucky nothing has broken as parts are very expensive

Small but comfortable cra.
The Volkswagen golf is a small but comfortable car. It is easy to drive and can fit a car seat (or two) fairly comfortably. It has had no mechanical issues with regular maintenance. Because of its size it is easy to handle. Downsides to consider may be that it is small which causes it to hydroplane (not good in snow or rain). Some may find it too small on the front seat when there is a rear facing car seat.

Perfect Little Four Door Car
The VW Golf is a perfect small car. It has four doors and can comfortably fit a rear facing car seat. VWs are well built and this car will easily reach 200,000 miles. The hatchback design is my preference but could be problematic if rear ended with a child in the back because there is not much buffer space.

The seats are very comfortable.
I love everything about all three of my volkswagens that is why I have three!.. Manual transmissions and 2 door and so much pep! If you do regular maintenance she will run forever.

I love my vehicle. I love how fast it is and how safe I can be in it.
No problems. Excellent performance. Really comfortable. Excellent for commuting. It's a really reliable and stable car that can take you from the point a to the point b with no problems. Service is a little bit expensive but it is worth it. Really fast transition and one of the best engines for a small car. German production. It is not economy car.

Not so impressed
I bought the 2.5l used in Nov 2018 and so far not so impressed. I agree, the interior is nice and seats are comfortable but the fabric used are hard to keep clean. Car always looks like it needs to be vacuumed. Sound system is c**p. Some cd's sound ok but most don't. Distortion everywhere, speakers can't handle the bass. Driving is my biggest beef. I don't know if this applies to all but my car feels like it's asleep getting off the mark. As if you have to kick it before it gets going. I get beat off the start (and I'm no racer) by supposedly inferior cars unless of course I floor it right off the start and that is not how it's supposed to be. In tiptronic mode, it takes off like you would expect it to in automatic. Ride is smooth and handling is very good but for what you are paying, I find it is overrated. I had a choice between this and the Mazda 3. Only thing I didn't like about the Mazda was the engine sound but now that I have had the Golf, I regret not buying the Mazda. Oh and by the way, dealing with VW dealers-in Quebec at least is a nightmare and VW Canada does nothing to help.

Volkswagen golf: small and easy.
The Volkswagen golf is a great car. It has a four door option (also available in two door) and is very small so easy to handle. The hatchback style trunk has plenty of space. Volkswagen’s are reliable cars that can easy go to over 200,000 miles without any problems as long as you are good about maintenance.

Review of Volkswagen golf- 2013.
No problems with my car at all. Drives well and is very reliable. Seats are very comfortable and has a comfortable drive. Not a lot of room in the trunk. Navigation is good, as well as the radio and Bluetooth. The backseat has lots of room between the driver and passenger seats of the car. The backseat legroom is spacious, so you are comfortable during whatever kind of drive you are on.

It lasts a long time and does not have very many issues.
It is small and it is kind of old but it runs just fine! I do like my Subaru better just because it is newer and I like the sound system better.

2013 VW golf base model recommendation.
I really love the Volkswagen golf. It is extremely reliable and solidly built. It gets remarkably good gas mileage. I have taken it on very long road trips and it does wonderful on the highway. I am surprised that even though I have a bad back, I do not get sore from hours in the driver's seat. I would not hesitate to recommend this vehicle to anyone that is interested. I would buy another one of these in a second.

Drives great, very safe for kids and roomy great on gas. Good on miles. I love how it show how much air is in your tires & shows how good your oil is. Good to take to the beach went 3 times in it so far it was amazing. Very good on gas drove good to there n back home. Ac work good especially in the summer in Texas.

Perfect daily long commute vehicle.
Very reliable. Great gas mileage. For a smaller vehicle you can fit 5 adults rather comfortably. After 150,000 miles it has never had a major breakdown or needed large repair. Controls are convenient and driver range of vision makes changing lanes simple.

It's much more spacious than it looks. Lots of headroom,even if tall.
It has features above its cost. It is stylish. After 6 years, it has been very reliable.

A little gem with surprise get up and go.
The Volkswagen golf is easy and fun to drive. It is small so it fits everywhere, it is easy to maneuver, but has pick up when you step on the gas. It handles corner very well. The hatchback gives you lots of option to carry a variety of things that would be more difficult in a larger car with a regular trunk. It is fuel efficient. I have gotten multiple golfs over the years. They typically will last me 10 years before I need to think whether it is better to repair or just get a new one. Not all mechanic work well with German engineering so it is key to find a mechanic who does.

The perfect sized car! Sporty and safe.
I have owned this car for about four years and I have absolutely loved every mile driven! No major issues thus far, and I even bought it used. I do currently have a stage 3 oil leak that I need to get fixed, but that is the only issue I have ever had with it. I love how it steers and drives.

For being 7 years old, the Volkswagen brand seems to drive on forever.
It is a very reliable vehicle that will last a long time if you maintenance it every year. I have around 70,000 miles on mine right now and it is in good working condition. I use the cruise control a lot on long car rides. It is a smooth riding vehicle.
Megan M

Volkswagen is grey, 4 door. Love how small it is making it easy to parallel park in the city. It is also zippy and quick on interstates.
The most important things people should know about the golf is how good it is on gas.
Nicole R
on June 27, 2019
Very reliable car and I would make the same decision given the chance again.
The clutch is rather stiff, you have to put a lot of muscle into it. So anyone planning to drive a lot will end up with knee pains. The transmission is also very moody in my golf r. It doesn't like to be shifted to quickly you have to be calm and take your time with it. I also think the sunroof should stand out a bit more. When I bought my car I didn't even notice the sunroof was there until I got the car home.
Ben G
on January 29, 2019
Good sound, good mileage, great car.
Speeds up extremely well, and the cloth seating is very comfortable. Having the sunroof is extremely nice during the summer. Wheels are easy to change when necessary. Good on gas mileage depending on when/where you are driving (I average around 31-32 mpg during the summer). Really good sound off the radio with no added bonuses or extra things bought.

I like the front lights as you turn the corner the lights do also.
It's a nice car to drive, very good on fuel, great car in bad weather, I like the seats as there nice and comfy, I will say though that been diesel it's hard to find places to fill up, but that depends on your location, also I like how the seats fold down in the back.
Bret N
on December 18, 2018
You can have style with your sporty car and also function as a family vehicle.
I really like the fact that it is all wheel drive. It handles great in the snow. I also must rave about the size of the back seat. There seems to be way more room than would appear from the outside.
Mel P
on November 4, 2018
Runs well and I run with it.
Since I got it never really had any issues with it. Make sure on any vehicle if you want it to last do oil changes on time and treat it with respect, as we cant get around without our vehicles. Also always make sure if a light comes on to check it out right always and don't ignore it.
