2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Drivers generally love the 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack for its impressive handling, comfortable interior, and fun driving experience. Many appreciate its all-wheel drive capability and the option of a manual transmission, which adds to the enjoyment. However, some have raised concerns about the tires and the lack of certain safety features like blind spot detection."
Amazing traction, beautiful interior, good German engineering. Great value. Doesnt have sensors for cars getting too close or blind spot detection
January 21, 2024For my purposes, the Golf Alltrack is a near perfect vehicle. It is not gross and large, yet its interior room is greater than many SUVs. The handling is responsive and sure. While there was no means of testing the Alltrack capabilities, I would assume that it would meet situations of snow with great aplomb. The acceleration and driving characteristics were excellent. Fit and finish both inside and out were equally superb. Unless you absolutely NEED an offroad vehicle (and exactly how often are you really going to use that offroad potential that you were seduced into buying?) I cannot imagine a better or more practical vehicle. The car is a good value. For those who want an automatic transmission, it is available. I would place the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack far ahead of the Subaru offerings in both handling, acceleration and fit and finish.

November 1, 2020Actually fun to drive. Steering firms up nicely in custom setting. Though it leans in the twisties it doesnt feel tippy, tracks through with virtually no understeer. Avoid ludicrous speed setting in custom. No mechanical issues. With the DSG transmission(SE & SEL), beats the snot out of the Outback. Avoid oem tires, probs with SE delaminating Continentals, Falkens are just terrible in all respects. once switched to Michelin Pilot A/S performance is way enhanced. VW killed the GOLF at least for US. Im certain the make more $ on the Tiguan, which is the entry soccer mom model. May buy another to keep in CO. For us (both the SE & SEL-yup two) we have keepers ie 125-50k.
June 28, 2021I love this car. It has many features, is comfortable to drive, very versatile, and still priced right. I would buy another one to save for later if I could!
September 12, 2021Enjoying the car, handles great, fantastic transmission. Make sure you get the SEL has all the options.
