1st Volkswagen - 2012 Volkswagen Golf
By jdhtx87 - October 3 - 9:42 pmAfter approx 2 years of reviewing everything out there, i finally decided on a car that had the best balance of everything I was looking for. Entertaining to drive, practical, versatile, and high quality interior. It is designed for those who love to drive. MDI is the best feature. Being able to select from your connected ipod, iphone, am/fm, sat, and sd card is amazing. Voice control is icing on the cake. DSG works exactly as written. You have to understand that this is not an automatic but an automated manual. Averaging 41mpg after 800 miles. So far, all the positive hype has proven true. Coming from Honda and not looking back!!

Love my cute car! - 2012 Volkswagen Golf
By rebby1 - May 29 - 4:53 amIve had the car for 2k miles so far and Ive loved every minute of it! Not only is it entertaining to drive, it is practical with a decent trunk and roomy cabin, it rides well, and it gets amazing mileage! So far Im averaging 41.6mpg with about 1/4 highway, 1/4 city, and 1/2 suburban driving. And Im not a slow driver either! I can fit my kids in the car with baggage for a 1 week trip without any problems, or a days worth of activities and gear, all while leaving my work bag in the car. The Golf has enough pickup that I dont worry about passing or merging and a tight enough suspension to corner well and avoid accidents.
