All share a smooth and peppy 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine and, unlike the Jetta, are still built on VW's premium architecture, so will probably last forever. Being wagons, they have more versatile cargo room than most compact SUVs and even some midsize ones. And being Golfs, they possess a solid ride and planted handling that no SUV or crossover can equal.
