Cons None

I have had my VW Golf since August, 2000- it's a 4 speed automatic, GL 2 door. Before I leased the car ($16,0000), I considered the Honda Civic and Ford Focus hatchbacks- I really like hatchbacks because they are small but can still carry a good amount of stuff around in the trunk.

She ain't sexy but she's got spunk

Pros First-rate safety features, precise fit and finish, smooth, responsive turbo engine,...
Cons Spotty reliability and customer service, dated styling
Recommended it? Yes

I like hatchbacks. They're versatile, unpopular and goofy-looking. Although on paper I prefer the Subaru Impreza Wagons, before I bought one I needed to satisfy my curiosity regarding the Volkswagen Golf. VW owners are always crowing about how superior their cars are to the Japanese marques. I... Read full review »

The Soccer season was not even over when two of my buddies and I started making plans to hit the mountains to do some skiing. There was one anomaly this year. It was not snowing in the Sierra Summit. So we had to wait until Mother Nature became generous to us a few weeks ago. Finally, the snow... Read full review »

Cons Somewhat expensive, but who wants to compromise on safety?
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased a Volkswagen Golf GLS 1.8T this January and it has exceeded my expectations. I compared this model with the Honda Civic EX, Toyota Corolla, and Saturn SL and concluded that the Golf was far superior. Although I intended to buy the standard 2.0L gasoline engine, the turbo engine was... Read full review »

If you have read my review on the 1995 Volkswagen Golf, then you must know that I am totally obsessed about Volkswagen. I always found that Volkswagen came up with the most stylish and practical models on the market. Also, they are known, or atleast used to be known, as the most durable cars on... Read full review »

Pros Safety features, quality of construction, awesome warranty, great body design
Cons Just a few nitpicky things...
Recommended it? Yes

My 2001 Golf GL was my first new car. I bought it in March of my senior year of college, and 5 months later I love it more than I thought I would. I was going to buy a used Golf, but discovered VW's hold their value so well I might as well buy a new one!

I considered buying a Honda Civic,... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

I bought my 4-door VW Golf in 2001 and have been very satisfied with the car in many ways and aggravated in a few. The handles for closing the 5th door is so natural that I wonder why nobody thought of it before. They are on the front of the door (when it is closed) and at first you think what a...

First a little background on the current generation Golf (Golf IV). It shares the same platform as the New Beetle/Jetta, as well as the Audi TT. It has scored fairly well in government crash testing (five stars) and is standard with front/side airbags (later '01 models will have side curtain... Read full review »

Pros side airbags, great sound system
Cons trunk width is very small
Recommended it? Yes

As it was time to lease a new car, I ran into the problem of finding a quality car for a decent price. The quality and luxury between a car worth about 20 grand and 28,000 can be a big gap. I wanted a car with some power and pickup, but also loaded on the interior.

Volkswagen has put... Read full review »

I've owned my VW Golf GLS 1.8T for 4 years now and I still love it. I got it with the luxury, winter, Monsoon and, of course, the Turbo Packages. I did want sports suspension and I didn't want Monsoon, but after 2 weeks of searching the sales woman at Hudson Valley VW told me that this was all they... Read full review »
