_Klay_ Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 We do feel the Golf is a bit overpriced at $30,810. You can get a bigger Passat SEL comparably equipped for only $1,600 more. However, sometimes the devil is in the details, and if you dig deeper, you see you do get a lot of standard equipment for that price. Adaptive cruise control, navigation, Fender premium audio, heated leatherette (yes, leatherette) seats and a sunroof round out some of the standard equipment. You also get 3 years of roadside assistance as part of the standard warranty. Our Take The 2017 Volkswagen Golf SEL offers one of the best hatch platforms in the industry. From a performance standpoint, we would prefer the GTI, but we were very impressed with this 1.8-liter engine, which has more than enough horsepower and torque for the average consumer. Even though the Golf can be considered pricey, it has a lot of positives. If you're going to spend money on a Volkswagen, this should be near the top of the list.
