  • 3300 mile Update - 2010 Volkswagen Golf
    By -

    I have the cloth standard seat which are very comfortable but several threads are ripping already after only 3300 miles. Incredible. Dont know how this compares to other vehicles but its a really bad start. I am only 190 lbs and am careful on how I get in and out since I saw this as a potential trouble spot early on. I have yet to take it to the Dealer for the 90 day checkup. If I go even very slowly over neighborhood speed bumps there is a loud metal-on-metal bang as the suspension tops out. The sunroof switch is very counter-intuitive with no obvious detent for closed. So far I get 55 mpg @ 45 mph 43 mpg @55 mph

    Owned for one week. Solid car gets crazy good mileage. Like the option set for the price. Also got the eco credit. big score. Nice interior. Fun to drive car. not a dog by any means.

  • Great car! - 2010 Volkswagen Golf
    By -

    So far I love my car! I bought this after driving a 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser to 330,000 miles, but needed a more fuel efficient car for my commute @ 90 miles/day. This has been a great little car, I average 50.5mpg per 15 gal tank - highway and city driving combined. It has a decent amount of pick up and go and its a TON of fun to drive! The only real complaint I have is that it isnt completely sealed and it whistles > 45 mph, it doesnt leak water,just bothersome. The seats fold pretty flat and the cargo area can hold ~3 large bales of hay + 3 bags of feed with room to spare and the back seats are pretty comfortable even for people over 6. Id buy another for sure!

  • Not bad, but the cost-cutting is obvious - 2010 Volkswagen Golf
    By -

    The good: Exterior styling, particularly in silver is pretty nice and an improvement over the last gen. Performance is ok for the class, but definitely go with a stick. Interior design generally a step above competition, but there is some definite and annoying cost-cutting. The not-so-good: No covered interior storage outside of the glovebox, junky radio with sat option - touchscreen with Sirius only available on TDI, no armrest - seems small, but gets annoying quickly. I got the base Golf only because I couldnt afford a TDI and there are no Mazda dealers close to me to get a 3. With a few upgrades, it could be a great compact, but the skimping makes it better than avg, but not great.
