Is the Volkswagen Golf a good option for a first car?

I'm thinking of buying a Volkswagen Golf as my first car. Is it a reliable and affordable option for a new driver? Any potential issues I should know about?

As someone who has had a Volkswagen Golf as my first car, I highly recommend it! It's a reliable and safe option, perfect for new drivers.

I wouldn't recommend the Volkswagen Golf as a first car. It has a history of mechanical issues and can be expensive to maintain.

I've had my Volkswagen Golf for over 10 years and it's still running strong. It's a great choice for a first car.
