I've had mine since June 2009 now, so 3 years and 5 months and other than the the silly alarm setting issue two years ago it's been faultless. Touch wood! Still love it and the only reason I've not modded it is that I've been paying to sort the Mk2 out so can't afford it. Fantastic car and every time I start to think and look at what I'll get in 3 years time I always gravitate back to the Golf Mk7. It actually might not be too badly priced since most things I got as options on the Mk6 will be standard on the 7. Unless of course the base price is silly which, knowing VW, is eminently possible!
