VW let me down

I've had this car for 6 years. I've had wheel bearings replaced in 3 wheels, the rear differential entirely rebuilt, and not one but two water pumps. I've ALWAYS had VWs and I'm not buying another one. Yes, I also got burned in the diesel fiasco.

Love the car, but. . .

Wish I had kept my diesel. Stupid water pump failed. Love the size and cargo space. Fun to drive. Too bad they built it with crap components. Just waiting for the next thing to fail, unfortunately.

Only one problem

This car has great features like a back up camera, self parking, and sensors that assist with light and driving conditions. The one problem is the extra wide running board that hits my short legs and gets my pants dirty or wet when I get out of the car!

2017 VW Golf Alltrack SEL

Nice car. Came loaded with some nice features. Wish mileage was better (last VW was a diesel Sportwagon. Wish it had cross traffic alert, front and rear and blind spot warning.

90000 miles vw alltrack

The only knock of I have on the vehicle is that Volkswagen holds its maintenance manuals too close for others to be able to work on it safely this vehicle has run great I enjoy driving it gets good gas mileage a pleasure to own

Great car

Love the AWD. So much fun to drive. Love the DSG transmission and extra gadgets including being able to connect my smart phone via cable to use maps and directions. I do miss the high mileage of our old TDI. MPG for the Alltrack is not impressive.

Good ride and handling

Quiet firm which is good handling- feels the road. Great vehicle for our hilly wintery town. Comfortable seats. Fuel efficient.

Slightly more car than I expected!

I have always had high standards when it comes to VW and this car has not disappointed me. The Alltrack really does feel more expensive than it is. It rides well. Feels stable on the turns and goes when you command it to. The 1.8T gen 3 is really the 2.0T with undersized cylinder sleeves so it has been proven. The DSG transmission learns your driving habits and adapts. Like I said, I have high standards and this car has exceeded them.

Best car EVER

Fun to drive, easy on gas, great in all weather, love the navy blue color with brown interior. The manual transmission is the way to go. Plenty of pep. Very few on the road so this is kinda unique.

Alltrack initial thoughts

This is the 8th VW I've owned in 30 years. You might say I like VWs. The Alltrack seemed to fit the majority of my needs: sporty looks, larger cargo capacity, built-in roof rails, updated tech (adaptive cruise control, Apple Car Play, etc.), and not so common as the generic SUVs out there. I like the styling that is very similar to the GTI and Golf R, though not quite as sporty. The Alltrack is quick enough for a 1.8 liter turbocharged engine. Coming from a GLI, it is a bit slower and feels heavier, but it rides nicely and offers a slightly higher seating position. That higher center of gravity can be felt when driving spiritedly, but the grip from the 4motion system makes that a non-issue. I like that the Alltrack is not as heavy or as tall as a more traditional SUV. And I actually find that the cargo area is better than many SUVs and the shape is not as compromised as most SUVs. The one area I wish VW had improved was the lighting style. I would have preferred the newer LED style headlights and tail lights. The current system works just fine, but the style is a little dates. I only rate this as a 5 on Reliability because I've only owned the car a few weeks, and cannot give it a solid review. I wish there was an N/A option.
