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.

Would be a good car if only it worked

I was an early adopter buying an e-golf in 2016. Reviews are accurate in that it is a good drive but has limited range. I felt confident buying a golf from VW believing in the quality of manufacturer however my confidence was misplaced. I had several charging issues over the years and under warranty my local dealership resolved the problems after several visits. Just after the 5 year warranty expired with 30,000 miles on the clock, it appears my e-golf is now ready for the scrap heap (so much for the environmental benefits of electric vehicles). The car wouldn't charge and the dealership recommended a $4,000 fix. After the fix, the car still won't charge. The reputation of electric cars is that they require little maintenance, what that appears to mean is that the cars are not serviceable. If it works, great but if you have problems, they don't really know how to fix it. They can ask you to pay for expensive replacement parts but if it doesn't solve the problem, you can buy more expensive replacement parts. VW of America won't stand behind the quality of their vehicles and if you have a problem car (even after just 5 years) then either keep throwing money at it or scrap it.
Best EV Price/Quality balance

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.
