Are Volkswagen Golfs reliable?

I've heard mixed reviews about the reliability of Volkswagen Golfs. Some people say they have had no problems, while others say they have experienced numerous issues. Can someone give me a definitive answer?

In my experience, Volkswagen Golfs are quite reliable. I've had mine for five years and have had no major issues.

I have owned two Volkswagen Golfs and have had nothing but trouble. Stay away from this car.

It really depends on how well you maintain your car. I've had my Golf for ten years and have had minimal issues because I make sure to keep up with regular maintenance.

I've owned multiple Golfs and have had mixed experiences. Some were reliable, while others had constant issues. It's really a hit or miss.
