This base 2012 Golf is my second VW, and far better than the 2007 Jetta I once had. Despite criticism for its weak fuel economy, I get upper 20's to mid-30's depending on the type of driving, and that's all on REGULAR gas. I frequently get between 400 and 500 miles per tank! Interior quality, cargo capacity, driving dynamics, and comfort are legendary. Few of these are sold in the U.S. even though it's the #1 car sold in Germany— the "F150 of Germany." The performance is so much better than an economy car that I consider Golf the sweet spot between fuel efficient and sporty. What I love about the base model is that the 2.5 Inline-5 is super-durable when cared for on the factory maintenance schedule. This will outlast almost any 4-cylinder turbo because it's a simpler engine that runs at lower revs. I've put almost 25,000 miles on this car in a year and a half with not the slightest problem, and it's as good in snow and ice (on snow tires) as it is the rest of the year. I love the Teutonic simplicity and quality, and after sitting in GTI's, I much prefer my base model cloth interior.

This is the most fun car I have ever owned. As a die hard Honda owner, found this VW Golf on a used car lot when I had to replace my 2003 honda van. IT IS AWESOME. Ridiculous mpg and road handling. I heart this car. You should get one too.
