I bought a MK3 Jetta 2.0 gas just to get me through for a couple months after I crashed my 4Runner. It was one of my favorite cars. Decent power, handled great. Coldest a/c and hottest heat of any car I have ever owned. I put a good set of snow tires on it and it would go anywhere.
Pros: decent power, handled great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Bought my 2019 with 17 miles on it. 6 speed, no sunroof.
Have close to 48k on it now, I’ve replaced the tires and the battery. Done my yearly maintenance, and I just had the 50k service done on it. No issues to report. Been extremely reliable, I only drive it 6-8k a year.
Pros: extremely reliable, no issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Haven't done a super long road trip in my MK8.5 - but have done a few 200mi trips. The car absolutely eats up the miles. Seats are super comfortable, cabin noise is tolerable, and I averaged 34MPG both ways cruising between 72 and 80. I personally despise adaptative cruise control, so I immediately turned it off (aggressive Boston traffic makes it unbearable). I did keep the lane assist on which is fine, not as good as the lane keep in my Raptor, but works very well. I'm more than happy with the ride, and once I get on to some smooth pavement, the 200 treadwear tires really quiet down.
Pros: seats super comfortable
Cons: lane assist not great

I have since tuned my GTI and installed summer tires, it has only further cemented my decision. Now the car pulls harder but you still have to work with the car to put the power to ground.
Pros: car pulls harder
Cons: work with the car
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Licna preporuka za neku budget gumu je Riken, odlicna po suhom, drzi nenormalno po suhom, nesto slabija po mokrom.
Pros: odlicna po suhom
Cons: slabija po mokrom

I have some rikens as my non-race tires for the c4. They're fine.
Pros: fine performance

My “RíKEN RAPTOR” tires sound pretty… well I think about my driving on cooler temp roads with corners or any moisture.
Cons: sound pretty
I know that I went through my first set of rears rather quickly on my VW ID3.
