Bought new - 43K on the clock now, and hardly skipped a beat. Most reliable car I've had.
Snap! Edited by fatboy b on Thursday 30th June 15:03
Purchased at the end of August 2015 with 8,700 on the clock. Now on 33k!
Italian Racing Red with red leather seats
(numberplate has now been changed over)
Reasonably Pistonhead worthy, my Mondeo Titanium X Sport with the 2.0 Turbo Petrol engine found in the current Focus ST, good for 150+mph. Ideal for pottering to business meetings, ideal to load up the wife and my 3 boys under 4 in and ideal for when I want to hoon.

So much downforce you can drive it on the ceiling even when stationary! 20160419_110548660_iOS by Brent Leport, on Flickr

I don't have a commute so the car does around 5k miles a year, 19mpg isn't really an issue if you don't drive it.

I have three that I use depending on the trip and the weather:
Audi A6 4.2 FSI SE Quattro
I love my C6 Allroad 4.2, only 1 sold in 2008 . You are the only other person I have seen with a C6 4.2! Very rare car, and yours is looking lovely. An S6 next for me as the RS6 is a bit costly! What's the spec on yours? PS Pic brokenAudi A6 4.2 FSI SE Quattro

I think its a combination of things. Firstly, its very good at everything. The cars Ive had previously have all had more obvious flaws/areas of specialisation; the Golf is extremely well rounded and well developed. Really good at everything, but lacking one area where it truly excels.
Having only just moved to the US, I couldnt quite get past my love of hot hatches and there isnt much choice here which is a shame; Mini Cooper S (not for me), Focus ST (great to drive, but I couldnt get on with the looks/interior) or the Golf. The Golf won almost by default. There are some things the US version misses out on (lights, bigger touchscreen etc.), but I paid the equivalent of 15k GBP for a new one, so I cant complain too much.
However... after living with it for a year I get it. Great for the commute. Great for a long road trip. Great down a twisty road. Will move people comfortably. Surprising amount of space with the seats folded. Cheap to run. Well built (ish). Subtle enough to be discreet but purposeful enough. The longer I live with it, the more it makes sense...
Thanks for that. I've a 1.4 ACT & I know what you mean, it's not particularly inspiring as such, but very capable and a great all rounder for a daily. Though I suspect the GTI is far more fun to punt down a good roadHaving only just moved to the US, I couldnt quite get past my love of hot hatches and there isnt much choice here which is a shame; Mini Cooper S (not for me), Focus ST (great to drive, but I couldnt get on with the looks/interior) or the Golf.
