Consumer Reports recommends the 2008 VW Rabbit, which is good. The reliability ratings are above average, also good.
My understanding is that the City Golf is the MK IV Golf, the Rabbit in the US is the MK V Golf. Hopefully since the MK V is now 5 years into production (from 2003) the major bugs were worked out. I wouldn't have wanted a MK IV since those had lackluster reliability.
Either way, the factory warranty should last me as long as I have the car I drive about 10-12K miles a year and usually only keep a car about four years anyhow.
