Written review:

Pros
Sensibly and thoughtfully designed inside and out
Good fun to drive - especially GTI
Decent long-distance refinement
Cons
A bit of a conservative choice
Reliability concerns, especially DSG gearboxes
Not the most practical car in its class
The CarGurus verdict
Realistically, any serious faults with a mk6 Golf should already have been sorted out by now, either under warranty or at the previous owner’s expense. But check the service records and other invoices diligently to make sure remedial work has taken place, especially on cars fitted with the DSG automatic gearbox.
Conservative choice though it may be, a mainstream Golf represents mid-level motoring at its refined and well-executed best. And while most of the range will maintain your pulse rate at an unremarkable level, the GTI and R versions are held in high regard by thrill-seeking sports car aficionados.
