Asked by Alycia
I want to sell my Toyota RAV4 to downsize to a smaller car because I don’t do much driving. I am torn because I love the 2010 VW Golf in either diesel or petrol, but I’m reading a lot up on the transmission and engine issues. Could I please get some help before making a decision?
Answered by CarsGuide
27 Oct 2017The Golf is a great driving car, but I couldn’t suggest you go for one, simply because of the well-known problems with the DSG auto gearbox and engine.
