I've only got 2200km on my 2017 Golf (only got it 3 weeks ago) so I can't say much on the reliability of my current car, but my mk4 was very very reliable and it seems the general sentiment on the forums is the mk7s are just as reliable if not better.
Scheduled maintenance costs are pretty reasonable, especially given how infrequent oil changes are (every 15,000km I believe but it might be 16,000).
