Is the Volkswagen Golf a reliable car for daily commuting?

I am looking for a reliable car for my daily commute and I am considering purchasing a Volkswagen Golf. I have heard mixed opinions about its reliability. Can anyone provide some insight?

I have been driving a Volkswagen Golf for the past 5 years and it has been extremely reliable. I would highly recommend it for daily commuting.

I have owned a Volkswagen Golf for 2 years now and I have been disappointed with its reliability. I have had to take it to the mechanic multiple times for various issues.

I have been a mechanic for over 10 years and have worked on many Volkswagen Golfs. In my experience, they are generally reliable cars for daily commuting.
