Problem with the golf is that its sooo boring. Every one has one. What are you saying about your self if you buy one? "Im just going to follow the heard and do what every one else does, then hopefully Ill fit in better." For that reason alone I wouldn't ever get it.
Do you really believe that the car you drive defines you as a person? If that's the case then it's YOU following the herd and whatever the marketing machine tells you.
