You'll Like This Car If...

You May Not Like This Car If...
Volkswagen does not offer the 2018 Golf as a sedan. If you’re looking for a traditional trunk, the automaker’s popular Jetta model is the same size as the Golf with similar styling. The two also share engines, transmissions, suspensions and interiors. If the Golf’s rear legroom is too tight for your needs, check out the more spacious Honda Civic.
