What Owners are Saying About the 2017 Volkswagen Golf

"Love this little VW"

"I have the Golf SEL TDi and love it, made a trip from AZ to MN and back, 2 adults, 2 large dogs, and luggage, set the cruise on 80-85 (for the most part) and averaged 44 mpg. That so called "diesel gate" was a crock of BS and should have never happened. The rest of the world still gets these awesome efficient engines, but the US doesn't."

"What a clever Auto!"

"No issue whotsoever over the almost 3 years ownership. I love the precise steering, responsivness in any of the 6 gears as much as the low fuel consumption. The collission avoidance system saved me from a bumper run-in once. Comfort? Absolutely, within the limits of its size."

"Best vehicle ever"

"I bought the TDI and I won't buy anything else. The diesel isnt the quickest but can maintain exceptional fuel mileage. The handling is what you would expect with a compact. Light and agile with a 50/50 weight ratio. All you could ever need in a car is fit into a compact."

2017 Volkswagen Golf Depreciation

Annual Depreciation is an estimation of what your vehicle's value might be over time based on an average of similar vehicles. Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.
