The 2010 Volkswagen Golf is a totally solid vehicle. She's fun to drive. I have a manual transmission which, in my humble opinion is a major part of the fun. She's extremely responsive, even five years old, or should I say: five-years-young? I'm proud to drive this car. She's got very clean lines, and isn't looking dated. I don't think the car will ever look dated with the proper preventative maintenance that she deserves. I know that there are the many faster, and more gutsier versions of this car, but I am extremely happy with this version. I'm pretty proud and grateful to have been in the Volkswagen family for many years now. I have always leased the cars from VW. This car is the first one I kept. I kept her because I love her. She's German engineered through and through as well as born in Stuttgart. As far as my trips to the VW mechanics - There was the preventative maintenance that was paid for by the manufacturer at first, under warranty. Now I am a stickler about keeping to the scheduled maintenance, even out of warranty. I know she's got many, many, more kilometers ahead of her. These trips to the mechanic were never for anything unscheduled too. This car is solid! I definitely recommend this car.

This car is very reliable. We have had this car since 2012 and have put 90,000 miles on it. We take this car on all of our long trips. It gets awesome mileage because it is a diesel engine. We can usually get any were from 400 to 600 miles on one tank before refilling. This car looks small on the outside but is quite large on the inside. We have put many things in this car. We have yet to not be able to fit something we have purchased in this car. There is a large trunk and then you can fold down the seats.

One of the best cars I have experienced. One of the most attractive things in this car is the five-inch touchscreen which supports Apple Car-play, Android Auto and Mirror-link smartphone integration. This vehicle also have some new features to the Driver Assistance option package, including the blind spot monitoring, automated parallel parking and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
