Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Golf is more expensive in maintenance, but much better overall.
  • but you can even get a base VW golf and learn the basics.
  • Ppl both online and IRL will tell you the VW is a terrible buy but I've owned a similar year Golf and it was dead reliable to me.
  • I had to look up the VW Golf but I do like the look of that one too!
  • One example id like to point out is the VW Golf. Lots of other cars look better on paper, especially price wise but when you drive a Golf, it just does so many of the little things really well.

Cons

  • The VW Golf branding is just 2 years older than the Ford Fiesta.
  • It just has a bit more energy than the Honda/Toyota (as well as a step up in luxury), without being as needy as the Golf.
  • How? Thay are pretty expenive used cars, in my country for example Mazda3 is more expensive than Vw Golf usually.

out of that whole class I really find the VW Golf (again - based on previous generation, Mk 7) to be best in class on the whole "the inside is much roomier than the exterior dimensions suggest" thing.
