it is pretty but a maintenance nightmare.

The car reliably starts all the time, handles quite nice but the acceleration is very delayed on take off due to some gearing issue in the transmission. My car so far has had the drainpipe in the moon roof had detached and was draining into the passenger side floor to fix this you either had to tape up the moon roof or you tear apart the interior to fix this issue because maintenance was not thought out.

Dudelbug

This little car is fast and maneuvers like nobodies business. Florida is notorious for bad drivers and this car handles. Highway I4 and I95 are well known for careless drivers who text and drive. This car handles very well and small enough to give you time to get out of the way.

I love my 2012 VW Golf

The Volkswagen Golf is a great value, reliable, dependable and fun to drive. It handles well, it has good acceleration and is responsive. If VW spent more time on the interior design, they would knock the ball out of the park. No one could touch them.

best vehicle on the road for me

I love my Golf TDI. Excellent fuel mileage, comfort & performance, can not be beat. The federal shakedown of VW is a disgrace. My total carbon foot print per mile driven is substantially less, even though the Golf has slightly higher emissions. Its' a fact that the court should have looked at before taking an entire class of car off the road. I hope VW will rethink the stupid electric car idea and forge ahead with diesel. It's the fuel that makes sense, since it has many more BTU's per gallon than gasoline.

Golf TDI

I own a 2012 Golf TDI, I cant say enough good things. I have two german sheperds that fit great. I love the size, the gas milage is awesome, and it runs amazing every day.

Great car, at an unbeatable price!

I was torn between the GTI and the 2.5. I ended up going with the 2.5, since I was about to purchase one from an owner who meticulously maintained the vehicle. I've been very impressed with my little hatch, both in reliability, and in performance! Very fun to drive, Easy to tune (if you're in to that), and a great looking car! I've even seen the gas mileage reach the 40's on the highway!

Polluter

Turns out this thing spews 40x the allowed pollutants into the air. And the corporate headquarters specifically engineered it to do that. To regain any trust in the US, Volkswagen is going to need to make the owners they duped whole again.
