Volkswagen Golf Customer Reviews

Pros

• 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!

Cons

• Cost to Maintain

  may be slightly more expensive to maintain because of the high output engine

Pros

• 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

Cons

• 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.

Pros

• 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.

Cons

• 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

Pros

• 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.

Cons

• 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.

Pros

• 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!

Cons

Pros

• 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

Cons

• 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.

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  It's TDI. It's got great pick up and great fuel economy!

• Power

  Excellent pick up for passing and manuevering

  The bluetooth phone and media capbilites are awesome, radio/cd is touch screen as well as having controls on the steering wheel for everything.
