1999 Volkswagen Golf GTi Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Fast car, but the dealers are useless"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattling on the center console.
Turbo belt was faulty and had to be corrected because it caused the car to jump and shoot forward.
Paint work is very disappointing for such a new car.
General comments?
The car is quick but very thirsty.
