-
Economy
Value
They hold their value well - just had mine valued and it is worth 60% of what I paid for it and it is just coming up for 4 years old.
Costs
A bit thirsty in town and main VW agents can be expensive.

On the road
Driving
Extremely easy to drive - which means that some times it is not involving enough. Equally, though, you don't get tired on a long drive.
Performance
As quick as the GTi, but the sound from that engine is fantastic and puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

Living with it
Reliability
Had radio replaced under warranty.
Image
People still like the Golf, even after 30 years.
Comfort
Very good seats and ride is a nice balance between sporty and luxurious.

Security and Service
Service
VW has been very good, although difficult to get anything done at short notice. Usually 2 weeks wait for a service!
