Fun, sporty, reliable and fuel efficient - all you expect

Fun, sporty, reliable and fuel efficient - all you expect from German engineered auto. When stay up on your routine maintenance and nothing to worry about- deferred repairs on high performance cars never go well

Don't believe the 'German Engineering' shtick folks.

Don't believe the 'German Engineering' shtick folks. Our 2015 Golf TSI, now with 155,000 km has cost us a bundle in major repairs - transmission oil leak ($1,800), heater core failure ($1,000), water pump failure ($1,500) (class action lawsuit), broken engine valve spring ($1,500), engine turbo failure ($3,800), rear coil spring failure ($600). All values in Canadian dollars. How does a car company unlearn how to design and fabricate a simple coil spring? Can someone tell me please, because it's beyond me. A real piece of German garbage. Do not buy (unless you have very deep pockets for repairs).

2015 VW Golf Turbo diesel injection.

Thoroughly reliable diesel automobile. Steady fwy driving will get you 45 mpg. Nice not to have to change spark plugs. Likely not a great choice in subzero weather.

This Golf TDI is fun and fuel efficient combined.

I like a sporty ride that makes driving fun, but if you can add great MPG the TDI provides I’m not sure there’s another option available for the money.

Car stops on the highway suddenly and frequently

During driving, car sometimes stop on the high way. It is so dangerous. According to operator, it was replaced fuel pump before I purchased, fuel pump issue has happened. I replaced again from myself payment but issue was not solved. Emailed PIC but no reply. Called and asked him but I was told that come to tomorrow nevertheless my car wouldn't work frequently. I was so disappointed all of VW services.

Coolest and most reliable car I've owned.

This car is AMAZING. This car was the second hardest thing to give up after my dog. The drive is SO SMOOTH. The interior is very stylish, and I love the brushed metal interior. No tacky chrome. I absolutely love mine because It has the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. It was SO RELIABLE IN THE SNOW! My partner would use it to drive to work when it stormed bad. Being able to use the lower gears and shift on the steering wheel made me feel so safe when I was caught in a crazy snow storm. The heated seats were also a genius invention.

Love my TDI!

Had a 2012 Golf TDI and turned it in for the recall to buy a 2015 GolfTDI with only 6,200 miles on it. The Golf is the perfect size for me and just a little nicer than other hatchbacks the same size. The only con is the limited color selection.
