1991 Volkswagen GTI review from North America
"Truly a hot hatch-back"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The valve cover gasket began to leak and was replaced.
General comments?
I love the performance, styling, and economy of this car.
It handles great, accelerates crisply, and rides wonderfully.
Plus, being a hatchback, I can fit a lot of stuff in the back with no problem.
