Is a used Volkswagen Golf a reliable car for everyday use?

I'm thinking about purchasing a used Volkswagen Golf as my main mode of transportation. I've heard mixed things about their reliability - can someone share their experiences with this model? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In my personal experience, owning a used Volkswagen Golf has been a great choice. I've had mine for over 5 years now and it's still going strong.

I've owned two Volkswagen Golfs in my lifetime and have never had any major issues with either of them. They are definitely a reliable option for everyday use.

I would say that whether a used Volkswagen Golf is reliable or not greatly depends on how well it was maintained by the previous owner. I've had positive and negative experiences with mine - it all comes down to how well it was taken care of.
