All in respect to its category :)
Performance - fast acc, braking medium, handling easy/good, fast cornering
Build quality - Only electric window and door lock replaced, exhaust rattled a bit (with a little prof. exhaust kit resolved it), rust free
Appearance - metallic looks briliant, no dents, no scratches, 2 minor chips from stones // interior as new
Cost of ownership - cheap maintenance, 1:15
Fun factor - Fast and reliable, fun at trafficlights :)

I drive this car because its great on gas, and it rides well. I also can fit the whole family in this car along with whatever else we need and still get 34 miles per gallon. Its pretty reliable for everyday driving. That said I will say its a 96, and its starting to show its age and volkswagen does like to design this a little...odd if your repairing your own car, but it workds. So I do need to find a newer car in the near future, but giving they way this golf has performed with winter and hot summer days on the road for all the years Im sure I will be buying another VW.

No the fastest thing, but gets great gas mileage. I think it looks great but it's a hate it or love it kind of car. It gets lots of attention everywhere I go, some negative, but mostly positive. It was pretty cheap but only has 82k miles on it and it runs great. Perfect mechinical shape and I couldn't ask for a better car for $3200.

Everything works as it should, parts a cheap enough to come by as most as still manufactured. Huge second hand market for spare parts also.
