Volkswagen Golf Alltrack

"Plenty of power and a capable performer in snow"

"Has nice acceleration an handles well."

"drives like a regular golf hatch rather than a station wagon....very responsive, great handling and very comfortable to drive for long distances"

"Like a Subaru married an audi and had a baby"

"Excellent handling and acceleration."

"tremendous winter traction."

"I have long loved how VWs drive—taught, tight and quiet. This car, a brand new model when I purchased it, keeps to that tradition."

"Acceleration is adequate, but its power is available for normal driving at low to medium RPM. Handling is very good. You always feel in control."

"Small engine is well matched to the DSG transmission. Feel more powerful than it is."

"The Alltrack manages to be more powerful and sharp to drive, and more engaging, than any other cars in this specific segment."

"VW allows Tuning the vehicle in the Dashboard as well as via OBD11 app in Android. This permits various adjustments to ride, lights, steering, handlingand transmission."

"Excellent cornering and overall handling."

"I'm very impressed with the way the car drives. Performance is more than adequate and it handles and takes turns very well. For the size of the car and the engine it has, it's not bad at all."

"For a small engine, this car performs and handles extremely well. Compare to any Japanese equivalent and you will see a definite handling edge with the Volkswagen."

"Nice"

"The car handles and accelerates exceptionally well. It handles almost as well as our GTI. Cornering is flat and we feel very secure when driving it in any weather condition. Breaking has been very good as well. It's also great to have a car with such a tight turning radius."

"This car is a joy to drive. Steering feels sensitive and accurate, and although it's not a GTI or a Golf R, power is ample and I never feel held back by the car."

"It is a Golf. Perfect handling, very good acceleration."

"Excellent vehicle in snow and ice. Handling is superb with plenty of power in the engine."

"Handles extremely well. Adequate performance. Fun to drive."

"excellent handling flat when turning corners. acceleration good and S drive changes shift point so very quick when in S drive"

"Occasionally hesitates during easy acceleration (had same problem with 2015 Volkswagen Golf). Otherwise handles well with good acceleration other than noted problem."

"AWD and responsive driving are incrdable."

"The car has good acceleration with the turbocharger. The car handles country roads and highways well."

"I would love a GTI but the Alltrack is more practical and all wheel drive. I've found in previous Volkswagens did not need all wheel drive, good snow tires, Bridgestone Blizzaks did the trick. Found biggest drawback of previous VWs was ground clearance, Alltrack alleviates that. Also have noted that the AWD minimizes wheel spin on wet roads, that, to me, is a problem with FWD."

"Handling"

"This is a very easy car to drive. Handling and responsiveness combined with the comfort makes long trips easy to do."

"Handles well, especially with standard transmission. I enjoy the 4WD and how it holds to the road in wet and icy weather. Controls are well placed and intuitive. The car has good acceleration and excellent braking capabilities. As with most VWs, this car is fun to drive."

"solid on the road; quiet"

"Excellent on center steering, excellent cornering, adequate acceleration"

"Outstanding handling and great acceleration for passing"

"Somewhat under powered and the dual clutch transmission is sometimes slow to respond to shifts"

"Seats are comfortable, very little road noise, perfect balanced ride."

"It is a very comfortable and smooth ride, but it does have some creaks and rattles already which is disappointing."

"On trips of 300 miles or more can get quite comfortable and relaxed. The least fatiguing car I have ever owned. Besides seating and noise, the precision and lack of fussiness of steering is a great contributor to minimizing fatigue."

"My car handles like a much higher end car and it's much quieter than previous cars I've owned. It's nimble on the road and responsive when I need it to be. It has a manual lumbar adjustment that only has one setting but it's perfect for me. Others may wish it had different settings. I commute a 200+ miles/day so comfort is very important to me and I'm NOT disappointed. I feel like I'm driving a luxury car and I love it. I love this car!"

"I can drive all day in this car and get out not feeling fatigued."

"Seats are too stiff and become tiring after a long drive. We are not as young as we used to be. The car overall is fun to drive, economical and has considerable power with the attached turbo. It has been reliable and if the seats were less firm, we would keep it for many years to come."

"Modern car seats are all about sporty and not about comfort long term. To spend $35,000 on a car and then have to add seat comfort pads is insane. On the positive side, we do have adjustable lumbar support on both front seats which helps a bit. Our VW is definitely better than any Subaru I've ever been in."

"Do not like the front seat vertical adjustment. Road noise is worse than I expected."

"seats could be more comfortable. Should have full power seats."

"Very adult ride for a practical hatchback."

"Seats are quite comfortable and adjustments are sufficient. Very quite for this price point. Ride is quite good and even better than my previous BMW."

"The Alltrack is very comfortable and stable to drive, and the interior is one of the best available for the price."

"Supportive seats with excellent side bolsters, reasonably quiet cabin, and firm yet smooth ride"

"Very smooth ride. Seats could be a bit more comfortable."

"Nice"

"The seats give good support, but after driving for three or more hours, they start to feel a little thin. The noise level is reasonable. My car has the big moon roof and lots of glass so there is less sound dampening material for outside noise. The car handles bumps well."

"The front seats are very comfortable but the back seat has very little leg room which requires pulling the front seat up (uncomfortably) when carrying passengers in the back. They could give up 2 inches of the generous cargo space to improve the leg room. The tires are a bit noisy which may be the brand of tire, not the fault of the car."

"The seats are very stiff and feel somewhat hard. They feel like they are built for a more sporty ride than a passenger vehicle"

"I purchased the mid-level car in this lineup and I feel like I'm driving a luxury vehicle. I don't know if it the German sensibilities but for what I paid for this car, less than $30k, I feel like I'm driving a much higher end vehicle. A friend who owns a Tesla was telling me that some of the options available on her car that are standard on my car were costly upgrades. I told her she should tell Tesla that they were standard on my car. I really love my Alltrack. I hope to have it for a long time. Until it dies."

"Has a very solid feel, like a more expensive car. Great steering and brakes"

"This car supplies just what we wanted for a decent price. My wife, whose car it is, loves its looks and handling. We feel that we got exactly what we wanted for a modest price."

"I had to turn in a 2012 Golf TDI (diesel) and the settlement enabled me to purchase this Alltrack for a mere $2K. Car operates exceptionally well, is quiet and well powered. But it drinks far more fuel than my former diesel."

"A terrific combination of features and quality for a very good price. The basic “S‿ model has everything I want and need at little more than $20K. Quality and service have been excellent to this point (after 10 months)."

"Has good acceleration. All wheel drive works well in the snow. Not designed to tow. Wish I had that feature."

"So far so good, I am at about 18000mi. Good milage, handles well, quiet ride, and the all wheel drive very nice in the winter."

"This is a premium car for not that much money: the fit and finish is outstanding, and except for road noise and suspension it is the equal of Audi."

"Very solid car for the money. Uses Audi All Wheel Drive System at a much lower price."

"Decent price for driving experience. Transmission is nice. Winter driving is great with awd"
