2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI – Drive Time Review

@teisenmenger Agreed. It makes me sad that I’ll never be able to get a GTD.

@posro1988 I don’t recall. It was a year ago.

@rally240 this is something unheard of to me.. vw are one of the most reliable cars. however ive heard that the reason they are cheaper in the US is because of the slightly lower quality lol but thats probably bs.

are Volkswagens reliable? I hear they have a lot of issues, particularly electrical problems. My brother had a 96 Golf and it was the worse car ever, wouldn’t start in the rain, snow, even stalled in puddles. And had major electrical problems. My neighbor has a Cabrio with the same issues. Both cars were low mileage with clean titles and in good shape, stock. Anyone have stories about VW that they would like to share. I’d really be interested! I want to purchase a VW Golf TDI. or a 07 Rabbit

@MrBabirusa Well I have to accept that the GTI is a lot of fun, but if 0-60 times arent important for you then take the TDI. It will also save you cash on the fuel costs

@juukame I would buy a stripped-down version of this. box-stock bare bones. I have no use for a touch screen in the steering wheel. Stuff like that always breaks around me anyway.

if you look at the spec sheet for one of these there really are a lot of extra accessories standard on it, like the touch screen the steering wheel the alloys , fog lights, sport suspension, to name a few. if you took away all those the diesel would be much cheaper and probably more appealing than the petrol version

@flyerholland

Well, obviously its all relative, man. We pay more for some things, and less for others. And, if you pay the same for a new Golf TDI as you would for a 3 year old A6 3.2 quattro, which would you get?

@bg1379 you want quality u pay the price.. i think u have no idea what we pay for cars like these in europe so u shoulnd be complaining.

$25 grand for a GOLF!!! THAT IS INSANE!! If I really wanted something German I’d get a used A6 over a $25 grand compact!

Could you get it for much less than MSRP or is this for real?

@itsTiLER

But modern diesels have changed that

My bro had a 2000 Golf 1.9 Tdi and that has none of those flaws

Its the same with his 02 Passat 1.9 TDI

I dont know about over there but in U.K diesels hold more resale value

I think the a4 looks way better than the cc! The back end of the cc has a really weird look.

I have the CC. The VR6 is wayy over-priced and over-rated. For the money you save by getting the 2.0T instead of the VR6, you can have the car chipped, add a cold air intake, and upgrade the downpipe, and still have money left over, to bring up the power to around 270 HP/330 TQ.

@x2xhellx3x okay why would you even compare this with AMG class? AMG is a high performance series by Mb. At leaet you could’ve compared it with R line. But anyway, even if i had money to buy, i would’ve went with CC because CLS is really outdated…

itz just saying that audi is for the guy with cash

you should check out some videos of ‘women’ trying to parallel park on youtube

boonboon2k2, that is so sexist of you,
who say women cant drive ….

i think this is very good for women drivers,
got lane assist wo …

how does it work? you mean it corrects the bearings of your car?

Just a little bit of utility is sacrificed for a lot more style and flair, along with a host of high-tech features, to create a product that promises to be more desirable and exclusive

Moving inside, the sporty interior features the fabulously high-quality materials weve come to expect from the VW/Audi group, with new door trim that can offer optional ambient cabin lighting.

Agreed!

well it’s a pseudo coupe..could still be called a sedan =)
