Is a Volkswagen Golf a reliable car?

I am thinking about purchasing a Volkswagen Golf, but I'm not sure if it's a reliable car. I've heard mixed reviews and want to hear from other owners. Can anyone share their experience with owning a Volkswagen Golf?

In my experience, the Volkswagen Golf has been a very reliable car. I've owned mine for 5 years now and have not had any major issues.

I have heard some rumors about reliability issues with the Volkswagen Golf, but I've had mine for 3 years now and have not experienced any problems.

I have a Volkswagen Golf and have had nothing but trouble with it. I would not recommend it as a reliable car.
