Best car I've ever owned.
Shame there have been so many reported problems. Maybe I have been lucky. Bought new in 2009, my 4th Golf, I've driven nearly 60000 trouble-free miles. It's a joy to drive, I'm never bored with it on any length of journey.
Fuel economy is excellent. With careful driving I can easily get 600 miles from a tank. It's incredibly quiet too. You'd think it had stop/start technology when at traffic lights etc it's so quiet.
I have it serviced at the required intervals at my local VW dealer and so far the only additional expense has been 4 new tyres. Pretty impressive I think.
I've never had a car for so long so that says something. Not sure what to replace it with as new Golf due 2019. Might have to wait until then?
