Yep! VW's are nice cars. (Golf and Bora's (or Jetta - how they are called in the USA) are even quite sportive).
My girlfriend has a Golf, too and is quite pleased with it.
The only thing I don't really like too much about it is that they are more expensive than others.
e.g. I compared the prices between the VW Passat TDI and the Peogeot 406 HDI with the same interior (automatic air-condition, ...)
and ended up with the Peogeot with a price 18% better than the VW...

I'd like to have an A6 2.5 TDI or the new released A4, too (but the A4 is a bit small...)

However - good luck in finding a new car!
