"I always buy an economy car with a stick shift for maximum gas mileage. I average 26mpg. I alwasy keep my caar 10/12 years for maximum use and economy. Worst feature is poor heater; especially on legs of driver; really bad (and cold)."

"I have owned a Golf for 6 years and it never let me down. Seems that some people have bad experiences, but mine always works just fine! Maybe because it was built and assembled in Germany. Awesome, safe, fun car!!!"

"I have a 2000 Golf GLS. I'm the second owner. I love it but it has been a lot of headaches. It looks hot and is fun to drive, but it has had a lot of problems. The rear breaks have gone twice. The front window glass mounts keep breaking, and the car goes through oil like crazy, and that's after having the engine seals replaced. My advice, don't by a VW."

"This is my 4th golf..my old ones (86, 89 and 90) have never let me down! Now that I've moved on to the 2000, it's nothing BUT problems. -2002: replaced 2 oxygen sensors, catalytic converter -2003:replaced 1 oxygen sensor, water pump -2004: door sensor went (can't find it to replace, rear wiper fluid broke, -2005: leaking coolant-can't figure out from where. -2006: blown head gasket, blown fuel injector, spark plug blew out of head (was in tight), replaced yet another Oxygen sensor, blown catalytic converter-yes--again! Not to mention the hundreds of light bulbs that burn out...at least one every 2 months, the cup holder has been replaced 2x (very chinsy), the seat material wears poorly..should I continue? I am very disappointed in this car and Volkswagen to produce such a "hokey" car. I absolutely loved my old ones and now, from experiencing the 2000, will never by a VW again. My childhood dreams have been crushed!"
