Power
This is an amazing car that checks a lot of boxes! The mk8 golf r is quick with a 4.3 seconds 0-60, super plush with all the options you could ever want (heated steering wheel, heated and cooled seats, panoramic sunroof, etc.), and has incredible stopping power. The awd system basically makes it a poor man’s 911 Carrara 4
Styling
looks good!
Braking
stops on a dime if you stand on it!
Cost to Maintain
may be slightly more expensive to maintain because of the high output engine
Fuel Economy
Gets great gas mileage
Power
Has the perfect amount of power to get up to speed on the highway
Ride and Handling
Very easy to drive and maneuver - really like the small size
Cabin Noise
no real con so this is the only one that I would say maybe it's a little bit loud but, I don't expect it to be a luxury car so, it's fine.
Technology and Entertainment
easy to use, easy to see
Fuel Economy
great gas mileage
Ride and Handling
I live in the country and drive a lot of winding back roads, love how this vehicle maneuvers, and how well it responds.
Cargo Space
it doesn't store very much and I wish it came with a roof rack which I will purchase
Cabin Noise
a little noisy but not bad
Fuel Economy
Gets incredible mileage for a non-hybrid. I can get over 42 MPG (and no I don’t drive in the slow lane) on the highway and consistently get around 32-35 MPG overall.
Styling
I think the VW Golf has a distinctive European small car look that is much more appealing that European and Asian compacts.
Ride and Handling
Even with its small engine it is responsive on the highway. Ride is smooth and quiet for a small car.
Technology and Entertainment
No Sirius XM radio.
Cargo Space
pretty small trunk. barely enough to fit all of your groceries if you shop for a whole week.
Fuel Economy
My son loves the styling of this VW Golf. Cabin is very comfortable as well.
Seat Comfort
Seats wrap the body and support you as your drive and turn.
Technology and Entertainment
For a 2015, the tech amenities are great!
Fuel Economy
I've gotten as good as 46mpg on a trip and average 40mpg with my regular driving. Awesome!
Cargo Space
Seems weird to put cargo space as a Pro but there is more space than I expected especially with the options of folding down part or all of the back seats.
Seat Comfort
Good solid seats
Cabin Noise
Maybe I'm being a little picky on this point but there has to be something to complain about, at speeds you hear more road noise than other vehicles I've been in but it's not bad.
Fuel Economy
It's TDI. It's got great pick up and great fuel economy!
Power
Excellent pick up for passing and manuevering
Technology and Entertainment
The bluetooth phone and media capbilites are awesome, radio/cd is touch screen as well as having controls on the steering wheel for everything.
Fuel Economy
Over 40 MPG in mixed driving
Reliability
I've had no problems whatsoever with this vehicle

Unexpectedly good handing and comfort
