2003 Volkswagen Golf - Great gas mileage in a small, but roomy vehicle
My Golf has been my dependable little tank for 2 years now. I got a great deal on it because they thought it was a high mileage vehicle even though diesel engines last much longer if taken care of. It's been a solid means of transportation even driving it across the country. The acceleration is a bit slow from the start, but that's to be expected in a diesel. It's quite roomy in the cabin and feels much bigger on the inside compared to the way it looks on the outside. Getting 50+ mpg is the biggest bonus of this vehicle. Even when diesel is more expensive than regular gas, I still feel that I'm getting the better deal.
Story
I drove my car from Indiana to Colorado over a two day span. It performed so well and my highest mileage while driving on interstate 70 was 58 mpg.
I was also able to get 600 miles to a tank while driving very conservatively once.

Pros
Great MPG (50-58 depending on how I drive)
Amazing torque
Very well built/solid
15" tires are still cheap
Heated seats are great in the winter since it takes a bit longer for the vehicle to warm up
The air conditioning is freezing in the summer
Cons
Slow to warm up in the winter without a block heater
A bit slower than its gas counterpart from a stop light
Stock clutch is a bit looser than I like
Stereo system leaves a bit to be desired
Replacement parts are a bit more expensive than others due to it being a European vehicle
