Volkswagen has excellent interiors. The $18k Golf feels in many ways like a $40k BMW 3-series. Most competitors' interiors are gaudy, cheap and plasticky, ugly, or spartan. Other than BMW, the only people selling the "German sportscar" experience are luxury brands, Volkswagen AG subsidiaries, or both.
Depends on the model, but Golf for the last 5 years has gotten a Very Good (4/5) for reliability from Consumer Reports. They used to be terrible in the mid-2000s, but improved drastically since then.
- selimthegrim 11y agoDriven a US Jetta lately?
- monksy 11y agoUnfortunately they changed the Cloth seats into Leather in the newer generation. [Leather is a problem in the warmer states]
- copperx 11y agoWhoa. What? If I could use only one adjective to describe VW it would be "plasticky". I've always seen VW interiors as incredibly austere. I drive a 2006 TDI Beetle and I find my 1991 Honda Accord to be more comfortable.
- superuser2 11y agoI guess I'm excepting Beetle and focusing on Jetta and Golf. They're not everyone's thing, but I love them, and they have their niche.
