Consumer Reports

I was just about to cancel my online subscription, but found this for you:

A well-designed small car, we can't recommend the Golf for now because its reliability has fallen off. It handles nimbly and has a supple, quiet ride. The interior has a high-quality feel--unusual in this price class. The seats are firm and supportive, but the rear is a bit cramped. The standard 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine is responsive but noisy and relatively thirsty. The sporty GTI model's 1.8-liter turbo and VR6 received a horsepower boost last year. The turbodiesel Golf TDI with a manual transmission averaged 41 mpg overall in our tests. Crash-test results are impressive. The new R32 is a high performance AWD model with a V6.
