2001 Volkswagen Golf GT TDI PD 130 review from UK and Ireland
"Good overall"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since new the car has pulled to the left. It has been to the dealer three times, but still pulls to the left. After the last visit the mechanic took me to one side and showed me a confidential memo highlighting this fault. Poor design means that the car will always pull to the left!!!
General comments?
The car generally runs very well, and does about 50 mpg.
