Volkswagen Golf 2016
The 2016 VW Golf petrol is a solid, well-engineered car with good everyday practicality, but ownership can be marred by electrical gremlins, carbon buildup on direct-injection engines, and the rising costs of out-of-warranty repairs. Parts availability is good and independent garages have strong experience with them, making servicing affordable if you avoid the dealer network.
