The quality for the price of this car far surpassed my expectations. I spent a few months researching my next car purchase online, and I kept coming back to the Golf. I have put over 50,000 miles on it, and I have had absolutely no major issues yet. The fuel economy is without compare. My family and I have driven this car across the country and back. It does not disappoint. I chose this vehicle because having a manual transmission was very important to me. I commute a lot, and gas mileage and control over my transmission was very important. This vehicle easily accommodates a kayak on top and everything I need for camping inside. The entertainment system is everything I want it to be. I am a larger man, and this car fits me. It is masculine, which I was a little worried about while seeking a smaller car. The interior has held up, and I can even still smell the new car smell. My seven-year-old son loves riding in the back; there is plenty of room for him and his backpack.

This is a great vehicle and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good, solid, car. It get's around 50 miles per gallon, is very quite on the road, the interior is well made. It has a touchscreen display which makes the car look a bit on the higher end. Maintenance has been a breeze and the Volkswagen dealerships are very easy to work with. My windows also came tinted which was a plus and this is only the standard model Sportwagen. I am very happy with this purchase!
