My Golf isn't a 2006. It's a 2007 and nothing else. The most fabulous winter car
I've owned. 140 hp/320 Nm combined with a very efficient 4WD system
(Haldex) makes for a deadly combination when it gets slippery. The 2-zone
climat control is also very nice.
It's fun to drive, it uses about 0,6 liters of diesel per 10 km, it's resonably
comfortable and the quality seems excellent. The only thing that has been
repaired is the cruise control that broke down during the summer of 2010.
Another problem that will have to be fixed soon is the rear right door. The lock
doesn't open as it should. It works just fine half of the times when I unlock the
doors.
The downside is that it's a bit noisy and that the seats are a joke. No real
support for the lower back. A real problem in my case since I have problems
with discs in my back. If you have a good, strong back they shouldn't give you
any problems.Jun 20, 2010

Ek is mal oor my kar en sal nie 'n ander kar wil he nie. Dit ry regtig vir my baie lekker en dit het baie krag. My kar het ook speed control en het lekker sound. Danki pa vir my lekker kar.

good motor and fairly quick for engine size. very well built an sturdy and fairly high spec. mileage good on motorway in 6th gear and in cruise mode but not the best around town. overall a very good buy even though changing this year.May 10, 2010

its too fast and too adngerous as a performance, as acceleration, braking, handling . takes alot of gas but it doesnt matter as long as u dont run alot with it. Most important is that its really fun to drive!!!AmzaingOct 18, 2009

performance - 0 to 100 km in 5.0 sec
build quality - never needed repairs, no sound what so ever
appearance - best volkswagen, a work of art from inside out
cost of ownership - it's pretty hard on the gaz less than 100 km per gallon
fun factor - it's super fun specially in fast turnsSep 21, 2009

the acceleration is not that good coz it only 1.4lts but the braking and handling is superb.
the build quality is awesome.
the appearance is quite "macho" if u know what i mean.
cost of ownership very little so far.
the car is REALLY fun to drive.Aug 29, 2009

GOLF. Very smooth on the road and the highway, pretty good on gas. Good handling. The outisde appearance overall isn't very catchy but who needs looks when your driving smoothly on the road. Its a fun car to drive and to race with.Aug 28, 2009

It was a Golf 2.0TDi GT - loved it ! Quick, stuck to the road like glue. Shame about the lack of standard add on's like cruise control which the equivalent Honda had but generally a nice car. will have another one soon hopefully.Aug 26, 2009

its just a perfect car for all times, it has small body which helps in making the car more flexible. About performance, golf is known for its stability on the road hile driving with high speed and also it could be modified sportly with an amazing appearance !Jul 16, 2009

It's a very good car although the diesel egine is a little noisy and not so powerfull , but it's very economical. Tha interior is very well built and comfortable. That's a very appropriate car for a teenager.And its very good in city driving , it's easy to find a parking spot/Jan 26, 2009

I bought the Golf when my Passat died on me. It was on the lot, and the only manual transmission GLS model. It has the "2 Point Slow" engine which is not stunning for acceleration, or mileage. My 21 year old VW Scirocco, with a 1.8l both accelerates better and gets better mileage (33 mph vs. 28).

Not so good in acceleration, it has only 110 hp but a good car, wondeful for long trip, comfortable also after 8 hours driving, no need repair until now, funny to drive, low cost of ownership, styling is ok, the new Golf 6 is very similar, the Dgs (directshift gearbox) is a sport automatic shift, really great.Nov 11, 2008

I have Golf V GT TSI 170 not in the list above...just a great car. It actually pushes 200+hp due to a special downpipe and a catbypass.
The power and torque are amazing. Road holding and brakes way above average.
The comfort is also one of the strong teatures of that car, it is just a pleasure to get in there and drive.Oct 31, 2008

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 general average is about 10,5 / 100 km. Not bad for an engine with that performance !Sep 16, 2008

I have owned this car since new, and it is fantastic.
The performance is wonderful for such a small car, the 113 kW (in the 2.0L Australian version) get you off the line, and the turbo is nice. There is hardly any dirty weight transfer going around corners. It is a beautiful car and the fuel economy is unparalelled amongst other cars of it's size.Sep 07, 2008

Got the opportunity to drive one of these beauties the other day. Loved every second of it. It's light, quick and unbelievably smooth. You need a feather light foot on the pedal to get this thing to do the speed limit. Anymore and this thing is gone! The smell of dead cow as you open the door from all the leather seats. Only let done was the plastic interior. Very grim and for the price of them you expect better.Aug 18, 2008

I absoloutly love this car and can't fault it only i wish it could shift once setting off but saying that once it gets going its off! since it has all the hidden extras like heated wing mirrirs and cruise control would be good if they could put in the heated front screen thats the thing i can think off really, top car!Jan 13, 2008

My first new vehicle, it has a bunch of add-on power just by having a chip or two installed. Fun to drive, but if I get a chance I want to install another turbo!Dec 28, 2007
