I LOVE THIS CAR

Diesel Volkswagen. Need I say more? Comfort, reliability, BEST FUEL MILEAGE, and they don’t hesitate to continue making manual vehicle. 10/10 recommend. I can’t see myself driving anything else.

Fun car to drive

My boy wanted this car, and I enjoyed it too! Snappy little car, and decent room even for a tall fellow. 48 miles per gallon is nice too!

I'd still own this car.

This Golf replaced a 2009 Rabbit that was totaled in an accident. The 2013 Golf was the same car with a different name, and different amenities. It's safe, economical and easy to drive. It never went into the shop for anything other than regular maintenance. I'd still own this car, but it was tragically murdered by a wayward driver not paying attention.

First car Ive ever purchased

I am a senior in college and needed to get a less expensive, reliable car. I went with this car because the market is flooded at the moment and I can get a nice car for a decent price. I love the gas mileage it makes going home to visit family a lot easier and the gas mileage totally negates the higher price of diesel. Its an amazingly fun car to drive and I love the heated seats and touch screen radio.

Fantastic car!

I really love this car. The fit and finish are great, so much better than other cars in its class. Performance, comfort and drivability are extremely impressive and at 6'3" I can't put the seat all the way back, GREAT leg and head room even with the sunroof.

Super fun to drive!

I recently bought a used 2013 VW Golf TDI with only 45,000 miles on it. I traded in a much larger SUV for the Golf due to my work commute. Not only is this car fun to drive, it feels extremely safe and gets great gas mileage. The 6 speed automatic DSG transmission has take some getting used to, but in the end the car is peppy off the line and great at highway speeds too. It is very comfortable and has plenty of cargo space.

Great starter car

Very good mileage, comfortable and excellent handling. Very up to date technology package and easy to use. The view from the drivers seat is excellent and very wide vision and n all sides.

Stylish, earth-friendly, versatile

Handsome, sporty, highly economical, low-maintenance, good condition--the 2013 VW Golf TDI has so much going for it. Impressive fuel economy ranging from low 40s to 50 MPG (warmer weather) makes this one of the greenest internal combustion cars on the road. The Golf is the perfect size: big enough for our family of three to pack it up for a week-long family driving vacation, and small enough to fit into tight city parking spaces that most cars have to pass up. Acceleration and performance are sporty enough to keep the thrill-seeker in you happy, and dual airbags ensure safety.

I've only had it 5 day and not one day of trouble

It's the right size at the right price. It's very comfortable with plenty of leg room for taller family members. But mostly it's very pretty.
