Bought the brabd new comfortline version in 2016. It drives like a dream and fuel economic as we'd like it to be. The Automatic resting mode is quite irritating as we don't really need it but this little golf has more space than we thought as we managed to carry 2.4 metre length of timber in the car so it is quite big for its size

I love my Golf GTi. It's my pocket rocket and hard to keep the men folk of the family out of it. Zippy fast smooth efficient comfortable and looks hot. servicing is reasonable and is on a par with most car brands. I am so in love with this car and I know I'll have it for quite some time.

The car is slow to accelerate (dealer did advise about this) but I did expect more given the engine. It is on the economical side for fuel saving money in the long run. There is limited leg room for the back seats but given this is a hatchback it is expected. So far has been running well without any issues

This car is fantastic for the price . 7 speed dsg gearbox is a delight . Considering it only has 92kw from its 1.4 l turbo it feels like 120kw due to the smooth transition from gears . Interior is ok, but packed with electronics rear parking sensors lane assist and optional parallel park assist. Fuel consumption is average 8litres / 100km which is pretty good . Interior cabin is quite large for a hatchback . Leg room is quite roomy than most small cars . Great reliability and I would certainly buy a VW Golf again in future. Highly recommend.!!

It looks prettier then other options in similar price range but when you are a passenger at the back you do get dizzy, and naseous. The person we bought it from even advised that it is complicated and difficult to drive and warned my father that I had to get some soft of special license before I drove it.

Love love love this car! I previously had the Polo but I am so glad I upgraded to this model. The interior feels expensive, unlike a lot of the other cars that are a similar size from other brands. It's a very comfortable ride with power when required. I plan to have this car as my forever car.

very good shape and outside inside look ，easy handle，perfect size for me and my boyfriend， easy parking， saving petrol；quiet to drive， very stable at highway good quality and very safety to drive，the disadvantage is the market price is quite out of my budget， I can only afford second-hand Volkswagen Golf

Best car I've owned. So smith and easy to drive in. Would easily recommend to all ages. So quiet to drive. Perfect size to fit whole family but also small. Excellent handling. Absolutely amazing fuel efficiency, never got so many Liters per kilometres. Absolutely great price for a car! Easily recommend

I have had this car for 2 years now and have not had any major issues with it. Runs smooth and handles what you would expect in a golf. Fuel economy is also great & for a small car has reasonable leg space in the back. Only downfall is maybe too small a boot but that is expected. 9.10.

Our VW golf is 4 years old and although we have had it service yearly at a VW dealership, we have always had another issue every year. Most problems have been rectified by 'computer upgrades' which I don't understand why it needs to be done again after a regular service.
We have had a issue with the gearbox and although initially told it was out of the 3 year warranty, in the end they replaced it for free. This would've caused us a few grand out of pocket. They replaced it because they acknowledge there are many issues with the gearbox in the cars that weren't even on the recall list.
Our mechanic told us to sell the car now that it has a new gearbox and is problem free for now.

Very impressed. Grunty engine that makes power down really low. ( I stall the corolla after driving the Golf).

Good quality interior, handles great, amazing fuel economy. Don't let the premium fuel worry you. We run the 94 octane from BP and it is the same price as 91 most of the time. Average less than 5l phk.

We have the base model and couldn't be happier.

I love all of it.Can't fault a single thing.The drive on the golf is smooth and handles very well on the road.I have no complaints about the interior i think it is well set out and the running costs on the vehilcle is very cheap In all a great little car.

The mechanics are reliable, however the electrics are another thing... Radar needs re-calibration, safety settings turn off by themselves, entertainment system locks and the 'Modes' also freezes. The radar will sometimes detect something that isn't there and locks up the brakes, not great at higher speed and with vehicles close behind. When it works it works well. Great on fuel, quiet, comfortable. When it comes to the electrics, don't expect anything from the dealers, they just point you to VW service line...

Since buying this 2017 GTI, I have had problems getting the infotainment system to start up during initial drive of the day. VW has had the car twice and still no fix. This is wasting a lot of my time. Sometimes takes as much as 20 minutes to turn on. Average time is a few minutes. During this initial startup there is no use of the back up camera of anything else related to the stereo/infotainment system. Very disappointed.

Bought new in late 2015 . After 18000 kms engine had a squealing noise from the engine on and off which sounded like the AC belt and started to increase. Agent diagnosed as clutch issue to be replaced by a superseded clutch. Clutch replaced.

Did not expect a major repair from a new car such as the Golf with good reviews!
