Pros
Possibly the most upmarket Golf interior yet
Fast, comfortable and economical
GTI and R performance versions are true icon

Cons
Reliability niggles plague the car, especially DSG-equipped models
Entry-level models a bit basic
Boot space is useful rather than exceptional

The CarGurus verdict
When you're behind the steering wheel, the mk7 Volkswagen Golf is a mighty fine car to drive. It’s relaxed, comfortable, economical and faster than you might at first give it credit for. It’s often referred to as the best hatchback available, and that's even taking into account more premium rivals like the Audi A3, Mercedes-Benz A-Class and BMW 1 Series.

But reliability issues have dogged this seventh-generation Golf, meaning that a full service history is essential, as is a chat with a Volkswagen dealer to ensure that every piece of recall work has actually been carried out on the car you’re considering. And if you’re looking at a model with a DSG automatic gearbox, insist on a longer test drive to ensure that it changes gears seamlessly at all times.

Bear these points in mind and you'll have what is arguably one of the best all-round family hatchbacks of all time.
