Is Volkswagen Golf a reliable car?

I am considering buying a Volkswagen Golf, but I have heard mixed reviews about its reliability. Can anyone share their personal experience with this car? I want to make sure I am making a good investment.

In my opinion, Volkswagen Golf is a reliable car. I have been driving mine for 5 years without any major issues.

I had a lot of problems with my Volkswagen Golf. The engine kept stalling and the transmission had to be repaired multiple times.

I have never owned a Volkswagen Golf myself, but my friend has one and she loves it. She says it has been very reliable for her.
