Used 2019 Volkswagen e-Golf Consumer Reviews
Surprisingly fun compact hatch
I test drove the new 2020 e-Golf and was pleasantly surprised. I have driven this and the Leaf as electric cars and both will sink you into the seat off the line with their torque but the Golf handles extremely nicely in the corners as well. The only reason I gave this car 4 instead of 5 stars is that the interior feels low quality for a 32,000 dollar vehicle and that I wish the warranty was longer, as VWs are not traditionally the most reliable vehicles in my experience.

All the goodness of Golf, plus electric
This is my third Golf, but first electric. The ride is not as impeccable as my previous Golfs, thanks I assume to the larger rims and low-resistance tires. But the ride is fine and the handling is just as good unless you take it to the limit. Off the line, it feels as quick as a GTI and with no latency. I got the driver assist package and am very glad of that. Other than that, it's a Golf, which is just about the perfect car for the needs of 80% of people. With all the incentives, discounts and gas savings, the cost is right in line with the dead dinosaur version.

Fun Car
We like this car far more than expected. It's fun to drive, snappy, and has silky smooth acceleration. Nimble and easy to park. Range is better than expected with a full charge range as high as 180 miles. Using A/C and heater we get less, but still more than we were expecting.
Terrific Car for Commuting
Takes about two weeks to get used to the charging, but I noticed the savings right away. I almost exclusively use cash when I fill up on gas to maximize discounts, and I found myself with so much more money in pocket at the end of the month. I get to charge for free at work, and anyone that has a chair available at work is throwing money away if you don't get an EV. Carpool has also been fantastic in California, and saves anywhere from 20-30% of commuting time. Another thing people may not realize is that there is no engine. Less moving parts, means maintenance is close to zero. This isn't the fastest car on the road, but it has plenty of pep. Highly recommend an EV, and now are going to get Model 3 to replace a 2016 Civic.
