Are Volkswagen Golfs reliable cars?

I'm thinking about buying a used Volkswagen Golf, but I've heard mixed reviews about their reliability. Can anyone who owns or has owned one share their experience?

In my experience, Volkswagen Golfs are very reliable cars. I've had mine for five years now and haven't had any major issues with it. However, it's always important to make sure you get a thorough inspection done before buying a used car.

I've owned two Volkswagen Golfs and have had mixed experiences. My first one lasted for over 10 years with minimal issues, but my second one had some problems after just 3 years. It really depends on how well you take care of the car and how lucky you are with the specific model.

I would say that Volkswagen Golfs are generally reliable, but it also depends on which year and model you're looking at. Do your research and make sure to also consider the maintenance costs of owning a Volkswagen.
