Ranking	Details
#1	Je3etta Golf Be Shanta Source: CarGurus ...look all ppl i know its slow a bit but really amazing on road excellent stability perfect brakes perfect quality appearance exterior nice i like it and interior i really love it cost a little bit high gas per mileage sexy on highway i hate it at town anyway i love that car i feel comfort driving these car i love my car :D:D...
#2	Awesome used car Source: Cars.com ..."I bought the 1998 VW Golf in January ($2900 from a dealership) as an everyday city driver (live in NYC). It had 102,000 miles on it when I picked it up...
#3	happy so far Source: Edmunds ...This is my first VW and the 2012 Golf is impressive. The car is very comfortable and handles well. On it's first long trip, I averaged 33 mpg of mostly highway miles...
#4	Great value Source: Cars.com ..."Purchased a 2012 Golf but previously owned an 08 Rabbit. These models are often overlooked but provide a great balance of economy, reliability, and refinement. The interior finish is excellent and controls are well placed. My only minor gripe would be that the power steering takes away the road feedback completely which is a move away from the old days. In the long run however, I will probably appreciate this."...
#5	I love this car! Source: Edmunds ...I purchased my Golf TDI in December of 2011. My previous car had died an unceremonious death and I needed a car now! This is not how I like to jump into a major purchase but I didn't have a choice. I decided to look in the 20k to 22k range so I drove the Mazda 3, Ford Focus, Impreza as well as few others. On the advice of a friend I drove the Golf. Initially I had bypassed the car due to to the increased cost, but the minute I sat in the car I understood the difference. The car is built like a tank, it is trully solid, the interior is wonderfully designed and feels very...
#6	Two cars in one Source: Cars.com ..."This review is for a Golf 4dr TDI. You would not know that from car.com very limited selection list...
#7	VW Golf TDI Source: Cars.com ...I think that is by far one of the most stupid designs especially for a small diesel with an interference head. Should be a chain or gear with or without the extra noise. The problems I did have all stemmed from that belt breaking and not many people (including the dealer) knowing what they are doing when working on it. It's really in a class by itself. I small commuter (over 40 mpg) with lots of hatch space and the ability to tow 1100#s. I've used it with a small trailer to haul engines and other small items that don't require my full size 2500. Saves a lot on fuel. I've also towed my HD with...
#8	Golf TDI Manual Source: Cars.com ..."After leasing a Jetta Sportwagon TDI DSG for three years, I decided to replace that vehicle with a Golf TDI. My reasoning was simple: I wanted a manual (the Sportwagon was in limited availability when I purchased and manual's were impossible to find), I wanted a lower payment (fewer features), and I wanted to get rid of the sunroof (beautiful, but leaky and noisy after a while). The base model Golf TDI checked all the boxes for us. We purchased a Red base manual from out of state due to the difficulty in finding a local car matching the specs, and I drove the vehicle...
#9	Golf Gti "edition 30" Source: CarGurus ...The extra money and wait for this model were really worth it! I love the extra 30 bhp and general feeling of the engine. The original neutral behaviour of the older Golf generations lives on in a muchly improved manner in this model. The extra touches of the "Edition 30" are not all that great, but make a nice touch, especially the red cord used for the stitching of the steering wheel and the shifter. I never regretted buying the sunroof option either ! And as for the wheels... well, you just got to love them! It uses between 9,2 and 12,5 litres per 100 km, and my...
#10	I love this car Source: Edmunds ...I have owned and driven almost everything that moves. I am a car guy I love them all. My last VW was a 2004 1.8t GTI and i loved that one alot but this new Golf TDi is an absolute blast to drive, throw it into a corner and it just sticks very well for a stock car. the power of the lil Diesel is very nice pulls super hard in 1st and 2nd, nice even power throughout the entire shifting pattern. the looks of the MKVI are really agressive and i love my Tornado Red Golf's color a real classic VW color used for many years now. If you love having fun behind the wheel this is...
