How reliable is the Volkswagen Golf's transmission?

I've been hearing mixed reviews about the Volkswagen Golf's transmission. Can anyone give me some insight into its reliability?

I've had my Golf for 3 years and haven't had any issues with the transmission. I recommend getting regular maintenance and it should last you a while.

I had some problems with my Golf's transmission after just a year of owning it. I wouldn't recommend it for long term reliability.

I've been driving a Golf for over 5 years and haven't had any issues with the transmission. However, I did make sure to get the extended warranty just in case.

I've driven a few Golf's as rentals and never encountered any transmission issues. Maybe it just depends on how well the previous owner maintained it.
