2011 Volkswagen Golf Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Performance - Awesome. Acceleration 8/10, Braking 9/10, Handling 9/10 Build Quality - Solid. "Sounds like a Golf" and the diesel engine roars like a lion, but only sounds like a purr from the inside. ^_^ Appearance - Silver. Nice and shiny. Just wanted it in a more "exciting" colour. Cost of ownership - Done about 26000 miles in less than a year. (I am a travelling salesman) Maintenance - only changed a tyre once due to a puncture by a nail. Fun Factor - Nippy, fast on the acceleration and looks very cool to top it all off. 9/10 for FUN!

Powerful yet efficient engine, great to drive everyday as well as for fun. Sharp at turns and corners. Extremely reliable with the DSG gearbox. If theres something I would go against it, maybe thats the price. I love it so much!

It's all good, enough power for most but also delivers a genuine 70 mpg, nav system is great and incorporating a hard drive for music and a great Bluetooth phone. The car looks great and goes well, the handling isn't the best but hey ho what do you expect for 30k?

Compared to Ford Focus and Mazda 3. Great little car for the price. This car had everything but leather.

VW's over the years have had a bad reputation for reliability. I can honestly say, I was always skeptical of those claims. My TDI has been the paragon of reliablilty and overall quality. The interior wouldn't be out of place in an Audi. Very comfortable seats, great driving position and superior ergonomics. The only driving complaint I have is a slightly soft brake pedal. The brakes work great just need to be a little firmer. Wind noise has been a complaint of the MKVI Golfs, GTI's. This really is my only knock on the car. I would definitely recommend any of the Golf variants to anyone wanting a fun, practical and economical vehicle.

Great car and amazing experience. Only downside is I found rust where a rubber bar is supposed to be on the front windshield, but the rubber bar is also not there. They said they were cleaning it up, so not sure if that would fall under a priority of theirs or not.

This review only for the vehicle in general not for dealership nor the specific vehicle. I love VW golf one of the best around town vehicle

I think the only two bad things about the car is the air conditioning and the fact that it is diesel! The car was in such great shape and drove so well!

The drive is awesome .the car doesn’t even feel like a diesel. She acelerates excellently and get amazing fuel mileage. Plus there is a difference in sport mode

its a diesel so great gas milage great torque and some power. and the turbo is so fun to play with. but diesel has a bunch of upsides to it and it has grate reliability. german cars run forever if you take care of them. but the one upside and down side is its a diesel
