AI Market Summary

**Strong efficiency and everyday practicality**: Golf petrol delivers solid fuel economy for its class, nimble handling, and a proven interior that feels premium without excess flab.
**Significant price surge year-on-year**: 2026 models commanding steep premiums; compare against 2025 stock if available—new-car pricing can shift rapidly and stock may offer better value.
**TSI engines prone to carbon buildup, especially urban drivers**: Intake valve deposits cause rough idle and hesitation; frequent short trips without motorway runs accelerate the problem. Insist on full-motorway usage history.
**DSG gearbox and electrical niggles documented**: Low-speed judder, infotainment freezes, and Bluetooth drops are known. Test all functions thoroughly in dealership environment and confirm any software updates applied at handover.
**Check service records and software version before purchase**: Confirm TSI carbon cleaning or preventative service completed, and that infotainment firmware is latest—dealer reprogramming adds cost and hassle if omitted.
