it is just a great and practical car. Fast and easy to use, fit five people and it looks like a great car.  The fun factor is that people think it is a normal 1,4 golf and not so fast but then it is a 2,0 and faster than they would expect.

Pros — great
Cons — popular with thiefs

Quick, reliable and economical. Looks more attractive with alloys than standard steels with trims. Back seats fold to provide very good carrying space. Good size boot. It's bright red so looks quite sporty. Prefer a VR6 or GTi but fuel is too expensive too waste! Overall a great little car - definitely worth a look if you want VW engineering coupled with fuel economy.

Pros — Fuel economy, stability, handling.
Cons — Slightly hard ride

This is a great car, I absolutly love it.  It accellerates great for a 2.0 liter, and handles as well as any car I've driven.  As far as looks, you really can't beat the classic golf body, and the silver paint with black and gray interior is gorgeous.  Easy on gas, and fun as hell to drive this car will last you forever.  It is also really easy to modify, for any grease monkeys out there.

Pros — Handles great, looks great, runs great, awesome gas mileage.
Cons — Doesn't have a lot of power in 4th-5th gear.

It's been a good little hatch so far. Build quality is easily the best of its class, particularly for the year I looked. Extremely stable on the highway as you'd expect from a German car. Engine is weak about 5000rpm and sounds like a blender but has good midrange torque in any gear. Interior is surprisingly practical given the small size. Manual transmission much better than the automatic but shifter is a bit sloppy. Steering is pretty good, suspension could be firmed up, brakes are good.

Pros — build quality, fuel economy, reliability, highway manners, midrange grunt, steering
Cons — slow, could use more top-end, shifter a little clunky, suspension too soft

the car is great and has a lot of potential, but the parts for this german
built car are astronomically more expensive than honda parts. overall the
acceleration is ok, it only has 115 hp. the breaking is good and its a very
light break petal. and it handles like a go cart, even more so if you lover
it with stiffer shocks.

Pros — looks, reliability, 35 mpg, handling
Cons — hp, acceleration, price of parts
