As for why I bought a car without even seeing one in person, it does make sense.
I couldn't get out and test the new stuff, and I couldn't make a decision on anything more expensive quickly enough. Given my other cars are failing and I can't keep up with maintenance... I needed something, and I needed something I didn't need to work on. It's not as if I can't drive the thing. It's getting me from one place to another just fine.
That allows me to ship one car off for repairs, and sell the others. It also gives me time to decide what I really want to buy.
I went with the Golf for a good compromise that was practical and interesting; and it is. I'm not dissatisfied with the overall vehicle, nor with the value. It just needs a little bit of personalization.
The doors open wide, the suspension is not harsh on my back, I get to pretend the '90s are back right at that point in life where I'm beginning to worry I'm not having fun anymore...
I'll get better over time, but for now this is what I needed.
