I own a 1995 Golf with the 2.0 engine. Yes, it isn't incredibly fast or anything, but around town performance is commendable. The Golf/Jetta III, while somewhat basic, will cruise endlessly on the higway as well.
I've owned my car since 1998 and it currently is at 143k with no major repairs. I've changed the oil every 3k, but other than that I've only replaced the timing belt.
People who have relibility issues with VW usually have electronic gremlins. These cars are incredibly tough mechanically, and anyone who claims otherwise is flat out wrong.
