1988 Volkswagen Golf GTi review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing much. I've had it 9 years with no major problems except a main bearing oil seal.
Body work has deteriorated more than most Golfs - probably my fault for not looking after it well enough!
General comments?
Amazingly reliable after 130,000 miles.
Brilliant to drive. Pity it didn't have power steering though!
