HELP I need a reliable used car

I do have a family. We also have a Toyota sienna van which fits all eight of us. The thought with the Volkswagen was a diesel would last a lot longer, manual because I drive a lot of mountain roads and that was easier to use and although the golf is a smaller car it actually fit me well since I’m 6’2”I sat in a few other cars and they just didn’t feel like i fit very well for the amount of driving and the amount of time I’m going to be in the car.

How many miles will you be putting on the vehicle annually?
