I love how Volkswagen manufactured golf. Prefect car on road. Looking compact yet spacious and stylish.

Review
Superb handling. Simply love the DSG fart sound. Decent size as a family car. Compact enough for easy manoeuvre. You will be surprised with the cargo hold ability after a trip to ikea. Might look boring to some but love the simplicity.
What I Like
Great engine that able to produce more if required. 2.0Litres slightly more affordable for the pockets as compared to others with that power. DSG farts! The wheelbase is great, easy to control and parking is a breeze.
What I Dislike
Electronic parking brake. A few known issues for VW cars. For example previous models have issues with water pump.
