Personally I would not let the tow bar put me off.
We seriously looked at the Golf (GTI) before we bought the mini and sometimes I wish we had bought one. I know 3 people that own VW Golf GTI's, 2 of which are DSG and not one has had a warranty claim yet. To me that sounds pretty reliable, our FPV had at least three in the first year.
In my mind, manual or DSG VW golf, you can't go wrong.

Yes, it was used for a bike rack. We had a look at the car yesterday and I asked the owner. They had a trailer there with a couple of kayaks at their house too, so they may have towed that as well, but it looked very light. The car was in great condition and the transmission felt smooth and faultless, so I won't let that put us off. I would have been concerned if I saw a horse float or caravan though.
