Should I get a Volkswagen Golf as my first car?

I'm a 23 year old college graduate and just got my first job. I want a reliable and affordable car to commute to work. Is a Volkswagen Golf a good option for me?

As a general rule, VW Golf is a solid car choice for a first time buyer. With a mix of great brand reputation, fuel efficiency and decent affordability, you can't go wrong with it.

I have owned a VW Golf for a few years now and I must say, it has been a great ride. However, do keep in mind that the maintenance costs can add up in the long run, so make sure to factor that in your decision.

I recently switched from a Golf to a different brand because I found the interior to be too small for my liking. If you're someone who likes ample legroom, you might want to test drive other options as well.
