What are some good ways to extend the lifespan of a Volkswagen Golf?

I recently bought a used Volkswagen Golf and I want to make sure it lasts as long as possible. What are some tips and tricks to keep it running smoothly and avoid frequent repairs?

Regular maintenance is key. Make sure to follow the recommended service schedule and get your oil changed regularly.

Invest in quality parts when something needs to be replaced. It may be more expensive upfront, but it will save you money in the long run.

Be gentle on the clutch. Riding the clutch can greatly reduce its lifespan.
