2001 Volkswagen GTI GLX review from North America
"German engineered pocket rocket marvel!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing! I have had to get some interior components replaced. They were missing from the factory (or dealership!). I am also getting the windshield replaced and the shifter knob replaced both due to slight cracks.
Overall... nothing wrong with the car. We will see how the reliability holds up.
General comments?
So far I could not be more pleased with the car. It packs punch, comfort, convenience and build quality all into a handsome and unique package. So far, I am sold on VW. The car still has less than 1000 miles, so we will see.
Leave it to the Germans to build a great car. I will NEVER own another American car. I am ashamed of what we produce in our country!
