An amusing Harris fast walk round buying guide video but the Golf gets a big thumbs up  :smiley:

The MK7 and 7.5 have been so good. Let’s just hope they don’t slip up with the MK8.

How VW lost their way with the MK3 springs to mind...... :whistle:

The Golf is one of those cars where you step into it for the first time and it's like you've been driving it for years.Everything is just 'right'.Had mine for 3.5 years now and it hasn't missed a beat.Just does everything perfect.

It’s difficult to understand their popularity. Big, heavy, thirsty unwieldy things, expensive to buy and run.
Just what a good hot hatch isn’t.

Yeah but if everyone bought the same car the world would be boring. Might not be everyone's choice but lots of others buy them.

I was planning on getting a Tiguan R Line on my most recent change and would have like a shot if it wasn’t such a pain in the ass to get down my drive and into the garage  :angry:
