There is a sense of quality with this car . Just something about how the door thuds/closes, the brakes are sound, all the plastics are in the right place, the acceleration is great They've got a customer for life in us I reckon. A step above all the competitors besides maybe the mazda 3 but still our fav over that one.

Bought a new 2017 VW Trendline last June. Have had difficulty connecting Apple CarPlay from day one. Often comes on but there is no sound. Often won’t connect at all. Car has been in four times for this problem. At first I was told the problem was with iPhone 5. Have subsequently changed to iPhone 7 but this hasn’t solved the problem. VW have advised that the IOS 11.1 is too high for the Apple CarPlay. How can they sell a car that is supposed to be compatible with Apple CarPlay when it doesn’t function properly? Isn’t this misleading and deceptive conduct and/or false advertising?

Rented a VW golf TSI for 8 days and drove very long distances through South Australia. Great little car. Very fuel efficient, performed really well on the road. I don’t think I could fault it.Had great leg room,everything you needed was on the dash from Sat. Nav to all the little extras you need.
Performed really well on the open roads got it up to speeds of 150 Ks overtaking trucks. Had two heavy suitcases in there and two people and car did really well even with air-con. On the whole time.

Zippy second car with enough room to seat the family (2 + 2) comfortably and get around town. We added the Driver Assist pack (auto reverse parking, adaptive cruise control, lane assist) which we find really useful, particularly the adaptive cruise control in peak hour traffic. Love the media system with its large touch screen and apple carplay.

Great of the mark from a standstill, fantastic fuel economy actually exceeds the quoted figure. Surprisingly roomy for a small car can fit medium sized adults in the back comfortably. Minor negatives no lumbar adjustment in seats and no where to put sunglasses. Cant complain for $24990 for base model.

The Volkswagen Golf is a great little car that's very responsive to handling and is quick to accelerate and brake when needed. The engine is fairly quiet and powerful for its size. The interior is well thought-out, with plenty of space for your things. However, I wish the buttons controlling the all the windows were located in the central panel rather than on the driver's side, and that the seat adjustments were operated with a lever rather than with a wheel. The car otherwise runs surprisingly far on a full tank and is fairly inexpensive to use.

- German engineering is very much felt behind the steering wheel
-Lane assist, Adaptive cruise control and parking pilot is amazing and very useful when driving long distance
-Handling is good while driving in the city
-You can turn on the adaptive cruise control and relax behind the wheels even
-Leather wrapped steering wheel is great while driving

Wow, that just about summarises my feeling of my new Golf 7.5 110TSI Comfortline!

I am big into safety and having selected the drivers assistance package ($1500 well spent) I can say this car is one of the best on the market for it. Not only does it have your standard nice to have features (blind spot montitoring, adaptive cruise control, emergency braking) it also has a technology called lane assist which blows my mind, it literally keeps the car within the lanes should you drift out.

This car also has plenty of performance and using only 5.4 litres per 100km of fuel it has saved me stupid amounts on fuel.

I could go on and on but there is simply to much to list! Suffice to say golf is the only car for me from here on out!

We have recently purchase the "new" golf and wow, why have we not purchased a VW before!!!?? This car drives like a treat, lots of gusto but pretty quiet and so easy to steer around. Feels like you're in a race car. The interior is first class and the large iPad like touch screen is very luxurious with lots of features and controls. The ability to personalise drivers in this car is fantastic and when you get in with your key the car just automatically adjusts everything to you. We've also fit a couple of carseats easily into the back which is fantastic. Will continue to recommend this car to others and am looking forward to a future VW purchase.

Quick, quiet, smooth, economical and drives like a car twice it's price. Quality build. Paint work is fantastic. Trendline has a few extras over the base model. Android auto works well. The car is roomy and the components feel like they will last. 7 speed DSG shifts smoothly and S mode provides a more spirited drive. Very happy with the car overall. I can't think of anything negative although it is early days.

Pro: fuel economy-small engine with enough power,reverse camera with grid and sensors around the car, smooth and quiet
Con: expensive parts and accessories
I love driving this car. It's a complete different driving experience driving a golf than driving my previous Toyota Camry. I feel that I should have done this years ago.

The car is fun to drive, goes quick but i have trouble with my gear box sticking.
The autohold has failed on me a handful of times but not as much as the hand break! That button is faulty, mind you all these problems i am listing both my sisters new golf and they have the same issues.

Reverse camera hardly every works same as apple car play messaging.

Car is very small and the windows drum when you have them down.. horrible noise!
Says it runs at 4 /100kms but more like 7 and no i am not a lead foot.
Good quality seats mind you airconditioning clips have fallen off.

Gets a big fat MEH from me.. already upgraded 10 months on..
More of a first girls car.

Fantastic vehicle, picked up about 2 months ago now, done about 3.5k kms and not a fault! Car feels like it's from the class above, smooth ride and outstanding build quality. Also own a BMW 3 series, and the some materials outperform that! Super speedy car, very responsive, especially with DSG. Definitely think the trendline is the sweet spot. Did budget for highline, but do you really need it? Truly, love this golf, and think ill go VW for the 3 series replacement (arteon, anyone?)
