Volkswagen Golf reviews

I downsized from a big 2.5 V6 to a 1.4 Golf, so it took a bit of getting used to. My Golf has DSG with paddle-shift and the 1.4 engine is pretty nippy so I can vary my driving style. I can leave it in auto and drive gently (and very economically) or, especially on my own on cross-country drives, put it in "manual" and drive it briskly - but still get good economy. I've done long drives and it is really comfortable. I've humped around loads of DIY stuff because the boot is a good size. I average 40mpg, which I'm happy with.

Good practical vehicle, reliable and does the job,

Superb car. This is the fourth golf I've owned and I love it.

I've had the car for nearly 6 months. It's more comfortable, more economical, and more pleasant to drive than my previous car; the reliability will become apparent in due course.

Only had the car for 2 weeks and very pleased with what modern technology offers. So many gadgets to get used to and so many safety features.

Amazingly nippy, very comfortable & practical.

A good solid car with comfortable front seats and plenty of luggage space, good headroom. Reliable, and not expensive to run even though it is nearly ten years old now.

Do I need to say any more than this is the 10th new Golf I have owned and I have not had a spot of trouble with any of them.

great economic car but would prefer a larger car. It would still be a VW

It does what it is told when accelerating, braking, steering. Controls are in the right place. Cabin heating/cooling system very good. Fluids rarely need topping up. Cofortablr for driver and passengers.

First registered 1994 but it's still like a new car to me.

Excellent runner plus 60mpg regularly

Great solid comfortable car. Good on fuel in the city and on longer journeys.

It is a good, solid, reliable car. I have owned other cars but only ever bought those particular makes once. I have owned five VW`s. One Polo and four Golfs. I keep them about three years after buying them at six to nine months old.

VWs are just great cars. Very comfortable, economical and above all reliable. I also consider them very safe to drive. They have excellent visibility even for a shorter person (I'm only 5'2). Would recommend them to anyone.

We have bought 6 golfs over the last thirty years, all from brand new. I need say no more.

Fantastic solid and comfortable car. Well priced.

I have driven all sorts and makes of cars and believe that this is the best one ever. It is comfortable, holds the road very well, reliable and great fun to drive. It is a new innovative model full of extras. There is not a manual handbrake but the car automatically performs all the functions. I am now completely used to this and think it is great. Fuel efficiency is greatly enhanced with this Blue Motion version which cuts off fuel at lights and restarts automatically when the clutch is engaged. It also works automatically when parked on a hill!

Lovely solid little car - perfect for running errands - newer models are better on petrol consumption and I feel relatively positive that my next car will be a Golf too.

this car retains its value well
