The Golf is dated but not without positive attributes. It has exceptional ride quality, a quiet interior and excellent fuel economy. And thanks to its well-matched 1.4-liter engine and eight-speed automatic, the Golf is an enjoyable daily companion. But the lack of optional features, downmarket interior plastics and mediocre tires ultimately make the Golf less desirable than more well-rounded competitors.

- Hatchback design provides lots of room for cargo
- Excellent ride comfort and quiet cabin
- Free scheduled maintenance for two years or 20,000 miles
Cons
- Lacks safety and convenience features
- Budget tires detract from handling and braking performance
- Mediocre acceleration
What's new
- No changes for the final year of production for this Golf generation
- Part of the seventh Golf generation introduced for 2015
In the 1970s, Volkswagen began its transition away from its iconic Beetle to the Golf. More than 45 years later, the 2021 Golf continues as the brand's familiar hatchback. But this is pretty much the end of the line for the car, at least in the United States. Next year, only the redesigned Golf GTI and Golf R (reviewed separately) will make the trip from Germany to our shores. The regular Golf will be discontinued as Volkswagen figures most of us would rather buy an SUV.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2021 Volkswagen Golf TSI 4dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.99 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.

There's no grand send-off for the 2021 car. It's still a practical and comfortable four-door hatchback. Remarkably, it remains available with a manual gearbox, if you're into that sort of thing. While there is a certain appeal to a Golf's cloak of invisibility, we think most small-hatchback shoppers would be happier with the Golf GTI or hatchback versions of the Honda Civic, Mazda 3, Subaru Impreza and Toyota Corolla. Find out why by reading our Expert Rating below.

Rated for you by America’s best test team.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the Golf drive? How much you'll enjoy driving the Golf every day depends on what you want out of this little hatchback. The Golf scoots through daily traffic with ease. But under full-throttle acceleration, we recorded a slightly tepid 0-60 mph time of 8.3 seconds, which is slower than the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla Hatchback and Hyundai Veloster. However, the Golf's quick-shifting eight-speed automatic makes it one of the smoothest-driving cars in the class.
The Golf has earned a reputation for sporty Germanic handling over the years, but there's little evidence of that with the current Golf. The tires are the worst aspect; their lack of grip hurts emergency braking performance as well as handling. Our test Golf needed 132 feet to stop from 60 mph, which is longer than any other small hatchback.

Comfort
8.0/10
How comfortable is the Golf? The Golf has an excellent ride quality over all manner of surfaces. It absorbs even moderate road imperfections with ease and never feels the least bit floaty, even at highway speeds. Praise also goes to the taller sidewalls on the otherwise unimpressive tires. Road and wind noise levels are low.
The Golf offers straightforward climate controls and adjustable vents capable of cooling the cabin with ease. We like the standard simulated leather seating surfaces, but seat comfort is mediocre, especially for taller drivers.

Interior
8.0/10
How’s the interior? The Golf has an uncluttered dash and easy-to-reach controls. The steering wheel controls are a little confusing at first, but previous Volkswagen owners will find them instantly recognizable. The Golf's boxy exterior design provides excellent visibility.
There is excellent room for front passengers no matter how tall they are. Rear passengers will find enough knee room and legroom as long as they are under 5 feet 10. Headroom in the back is generous.

Technology
6.0/10
How’s the tech? The Golf's infotainment interface is pretty lacking. Its smallish 6.5-inch screen looks dated and cannot be upgraded to the newer units you can get in the GTI or the Jetta. Its overall operation leaves a lot to be desired too, as some simple adjustments require multiple menus to select. Other disappointing features are the basic audio system and the single(!) USB port for the entire car.
Driver aids such as blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning with emergency braking, and rear traffic alert are standard, but there are no optional packages to upgrade to adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist. Those are offered by the Golf's competitors.

Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? In typical hatchback fashion, the Volkswagen Golf offers up a fair amount of cargo capacity for its size. With 22.8 cubic feet on offer, it ranks above the Mazda 3 (20.1 cubic feet) and the Toyota Corolla Hatchback (17.8 cubes). The Civic does offer marginally more room with 25.7 cubic feet. The Golf's rear seats are split 60/40. They fold flat and offer a center pass-through. As an added bonus, the rear-seat release buttons can be accessed from the trunk.
Inside, the Golf offers adequate storage from a cubby in front of the shifter, two cupholders and a sizable center console. The door pockets are generous for all passengers and are lined with felt, but not completely, which leaves a hard plastic surface for items to bang into.
As far as installing child safety seats, larger ones will likely require sliding the front seat forward. But the anchor points are in plain view and easy to reach.

Fuel Economy
8.0/10
How’s the fuel economy? The Golf is reasonably fuel-efficient. The EPA estimates the automatic-equipped model gets 32 mpg combined (29 city/36 highway). We achieved an impressive 36.7 mpg on our 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation route. That's better than we've seen from the Toyota Corolla Hatchback, Mazda 3 and the Honda Civic.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Golf a good value? With the exception of choosing between the standard six-speed manual and an optional eight-speed automatic transmission, there are no options for the Golf. Our automatic-equipped test car stickered for just under $24K, making it less expensive than the Honda Civic and Mazda 3 hatchbacks. Unfortunately for the Golf, those two competitors offer interiors made from higher-quality materials as well as other options, such as upgraded audio systems and extra driver aids, that the Golf doesn't.
If you've previously owned a Golf, you might be disappointed to find that Volkswagen has shortened the warranties, in both time and allowable mileage, starting for 2020. Still, the Golf's warranties are fairly standard for the class, and Volkswagen offers two years/20,000 miles of free maintenance.

Wildcard
7.5/10
The Golf does a fairly good job of impersonating a budget Audi. With a torquey engine, a supple ride and quiet cabin, the Golf packs a lot of refinement into a practical hatchback package. But as competitors embrace the concept of an upmarket small car, the corners VW has cut in recent years become more apparent, especially when you take a critical look at interior materials.
There's no denying the inherent goodness of the Golf's chassis or its overall competence and fuel efficiency. With the standard six-speed manual transmission, and maybe a set of better tires, you could have all the refinement the Golf offers, plus a little bit of fun to boot.

Which Golf does Edmunds recommend?
The 2021 Golf comes only in TSI trim, so you'll just have to choose your transmission type and select from five exterior and two interior colors, as well any dealer-installed accessories. If you're seeking more than a standard Golf offers, consider the sporty Golf GTI, which adds plenty of power and personality to the car.
Volkswagen Golf models
Choosing a 2021 Volkswagen Golf is easy. It comes one way, with TSI trim and a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder (147 horsepower, 184 lb-ft) engine. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and an eight-speed automatic optional. Both power the Golf's front wheels. Highlighted features include:
TSI
Comes standard with:
- 16-inch alloy wheels
- Automatic headlights
- Rain-sensing windshield wipers
- Panoramic sunroof
- Keyless entry with push-button engine start
- Simulated leather seats
- Heated front seats
- 6.5-inch center touchscreen
- VW's Car-Net connected services including onboard 4G Wi-Fi
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
- Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
- Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)

3/5 stars, Ruined car
Alex,
TSI 4dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
The view of this car really depends on what you had before. It is a decent car, but it has a big problem: its predecessors. I currently have one of these which I got in exchange for a 2017 Golf 1.8T, that's why I can't help but compare it with its previous version which I loved very much. To my taste the 2021 model is worse in almost every way (slower, noisier, more cheaply made, only … marginally more fuel efficient than its previous version, with signs of cost cutting everywhere, etc.) and, having driven it for only over a month, I can't think of a single compelling reason to buy it over its competition. It's a nice car, but it's just A car, nothing special that would make it stand out for anyone who actually cares about what they drive. Golf used to present a perfect, per my opinion, balance of drivability and practicality per $1 of price. It is no more...
5/5 stars, I went Golfing twice and loved it both times
Braves fan in California ,
TSI 4dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
After my wife purchased a 2018 Golf SE TSI, I knew I’d eventually buy one, too. My needs are different than hers I drive a 6 speed. I’m tall and really need leg room. I need broad and comfortable seats for long journeys. Sight lines matter to me. I want dependable cruise control, power from the accelerator, and over 30 mpg. I want a car that can stand up to a windstorm in the desert and … is nimble in California traffic. I got all of this and more in the Golf. The fit and finishes are great, the engine and transmission work together to make driving pleasurable, and the Golf is easy on the eyes — not trendy in a way that renders it outdated in 5 years. I was alive in the era when VWs were quirky and goofy and uncomfortable. Not anymore! I got a car that is small on the outside and big on the inside. And I averaged 47 mpg on the trip home and a 640 mile range. Even as people are too quick to call something “awesome” these days, I would put this experience in the awesome category.
5/5 stars, 2021 Golf

Volkswagen Golf vs. the competition

2021 Volkswagen Golf

2021 Honda Civic
Volkswagen Golf vs. Honda Civic
While the Volkswagen Golf's style is buttoned-down and conservative, like a classic navy blue suit, the Honda Civic is more like bejeweled pink pajamas. You love or hate the way the Civic looks, but it grabs attention either way. But aside from the styling, the Civic is superior in almost every objective way. It's more entertaining to drive and gives you more choice for features. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Honda Civic.
Volkswagen Golf vs. Mazda 3
The Mazda 3 hatchback boasts sleek styling, interior sophistication and entertaining driving dynamics. Plus, an available all-wheel-drive system gives the Mazda an added benefit in regions where rain and snow regularly occur. You do, however, get more overall utility from the Golf. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Mazda 3.
Volkswagen Golf vs. Subaru Impreza
Of this trio of competitors, the Subaru Impreza best matches the Volkswagen Golf's emphasis on function over form. It's got plenty of cargo space, and it comes standard with all-wheel drive for enhanced traction in poor weather. Compared to the Impreza, the Golf is a little more fun to drive, but neither car will wow you like the Mazda 3 can.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 Volkswagen Golf?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
