2004 Volkswagen Golf consumer reviews

The MRK 4 Golf 2.0 is a tank of a car that can run just fine on the worst of maintenance record it makes the rank of cockroach car. The exterior has aged well and looks good the interior is a VW from the 90s it's cheap and cheap to replace but it works although the drivers seats are garbage. The 5-Speed in the car makes it livable and somewhat entertaining to drive and the 2.0 is a crude 70s 4 banger that's a tank of a unit that I have gotten 30+ mpg. These motors also function well on little or lack of maintenance and greatly benefit from even the cheapest rock auto parts this is a 220,000 mile plus tank of a car

``Volkswagen Golf is a great car.It is small and economic works great for one person. I like to bike-ride, my bike fits in the trunk perfectly. I love it. Very reliable and well made vehicle. Love my car.

I drive 70 miles around trip a day for work. The Golf gets around 35 miles a gallon so it is perfect for me as a work vehicle. I know if something happens to the Golf I would definitely look for another Golf/Rabbit. It is basic but perfect for driving back and forward to work.

Its a workhorse that gets you from A-B. Not the most sporty car with its 115hp but its reliable and easy to work on. Comes with all the bells and whistles standard so there isnt too much to complain about.

Great car, 55MPG highway, great fun to drive. MUST change the timing belt at 80,000 miles, if it fails it will wreck your engine.

I love this car. It's a TDI. Gets great mileage. It is comfortable and handles like a sports car. Only one complaint. Though the engine noise has been reduced, there is a small amount of tire noise. But the fact that Monsoon sound system can totally drown out any tire noise, I am happy!

The Golf TDI is almost the perfect vehicle! It looks cool, handles awesome AND gets great gas mileage. I drove a Prius and it was comfortable but it could not touch the Golf. It does get superior fuel economy but the Golf owns the acceleration, handling and fun. That and I love the sound of a diesel engine.

Great car for the price...unbeatable. German engineered, lovely drive, looks great, and again: a lot of car for the money!

This is the 3rd Golf that I have owned and it has been the best. I purchased the vehicle used and it was certified. The Golf goes anywhere. It does well in the snow. I would recommend it to a friend if you want a reliable car that is good on gas and is safe. It has 6 airbags.

Bottom line is the Germans have the best engineering, handling and overall reputation for great cars. You will love the easy to load hatchback trunk and the quick response rack and pinion steering. Its sporting looking yet econimical and a great factory warranty included.
