The car is an automatic (Tiptronic) diesel estate. I am disabled with a permanent arthritic condition and it makes my life a lot easier and means I can continue to work. I bought an estate as I had a manual version previously as we have two medium sized dogs and it is a good vehicle for transporting them. My main issue with it is related to this, however, as the estate door is difficult to open using the central locking and usually needs to be opened using the child lock, which can be a problem with two boisterous dogs. It does not have a sun roof, which is helpful for dogs, but has so much else I can't really complain. I would have one again and again.

Nice car to drive ,comfy, practical pretty good performance without compromising the economy!which is impoertant as I use it for work.
Problem is that I have seen more of the VW mechanics than I would of liked! as its has quite a few mechanical faults along the way wjich I did not think I would of had being a suposedly reliable golf! I mean even my seatbelt broke the other day! I have never heard of anyones seatbelt braking before! so just go's to show vw did not build this car as well as previous models! like i say nice car to drive and is comfy/sporty but build quality lets it down slot!!

I purchased a '04 Golf (<30k miles), in May '09, following redundancy, having had a string of German cars in the past, their reputation and reliability attracted me, therefore spent a bit more going through a main dealer, Loders in Yoevil. The car has been plagued with numerous problems ranging from: knock sensors x2, air con unit, mirror switches x3, radiator & sundry, radio etc. All problems have been dealt with and Loders in the main have been very good, however I was expecting considerably more of the car itself

A practical car with good build quality but rather boring.
Issues:
Seat seat base is inclined back making long journeys uncomfortable.
Rear seats do not fold flat giving uneven load space.
Not as reliable as I expected:
Coil problem due to faulty batch, took dealer months to admit and replace.
Replacement radiator outside warranty - ouch!
Oil leak from gearbox - living with as v expensive to fix.
Remote unlocking went awol on drivers door.
Windows sometimes motor open without asking!

Generally, a good car, however, very little ground clearance which matters when driving in a rural location as it is common to have to go onto a rough grass verge to pass. A fault in the Radio/CD results in the radio switching itself on even when the engine is switched off which makes it necessary to always leave a CD in it to prevent this. This was also a fault in a previous Seat model so obviously hasn't been addressed properly.

Good car to drive and be a passenger in. However, the build quality is a major drawback for me. VW are supposed by known for building good quality cars. The MkV Golf is not a good example of that. Squeeks and rattles all over the place. Fixed by the dealer on a numwer of occasions. I owned a Mazda 3 before this and wish I had stuck with it. Not a single squeek or rattle in that car in the 3 years of ownership.

Golf GT 170.
Great car...but, the turbo is not very smooth when the boost builds. I think I have a sticking valve which appears to be quite a common problem. I plan to have the garage check it. Apart from that, I really like the car. Next car will be DSG though, from zero to 30 and back to zero requires 10 gear changes unless you skip some gears which I do often. 2-3-5 or 1-2-3-5 for example.

We needed both a diesel and an Auto to suit my wife's driving needs. That we were able to combine them in an Estate version was the icing on the cake.
It's an excellent car and with almost no exceptions it has proved to be everything we had hoped for. We bought VW because of our experience in borrowing and driving my sons partners Passat. It has proved to be a very good direction to take .

Epected more from a Golf, in terms of reliability and build quality. Interior and plastics have worn well, but mechanically not brilliant and a few too many squeaks and rattles. Economical, but not the sharpest drive nor the most pant igniting. Recently developed 'reverse childlocks' on the backdoors ensure they cannot be opened from the outside, but work fine from the inside.

After sales service good but I'm disappointed in the car and there are things I'm uneasy about that the garage can't detect or see as normal. Two major jobs done under the warranty also.
