New to VW

[Biscuit]

Hi All,

this is the first time I have ever posted on a forum!

After driving a much loved old volvo for 17 years, I have to get a new car and I am fallen in love with the Golf, but reading through some of the forums here I am beginning to wonder if anyone actually likes the car.

Thanks

Welcome to VWW.

We're all fans, the forums obviously will also contain a lot of the problems that crop up.. but the vast majority are happy owners/drivers.

Thanks to all for replying. I have been doing a bit of research and the DSG transmission seems to be an issue, and the news article today about the accident resulting in the death of the VW golf driver is of concern. I have driven the Golf 7 and I found it a beautiful car to drive, but is it worth the risk?

the car in the accident was petrol and manual from what i heard.. not DSG. If you went on any forum for any make/brand they would also have as many issues... its usually only the cars thst have issues you hear about.. the ones with not one warranty claim just dont even get noticed..dont worry..the golf 7 is a great drive...
