1986 Volkswagen Golf GTD review from Bosnia and Herzegovina
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front brake pads had been replaced at the 115 000 km on it.
Also, the rear shock absorbers had been changed two years after I bought it, and I changed them again few days ago.
Seats got broken at about 120 000 km on it, so had to be replaced.
General comments?
It's not very comfortable car, but it's very reliable, and easy to handle car.
Whoever spent some of his or her time in Bosnia recently, you know how the roads here look like, so this car runs well even here.
Before I made decision to buy this car I was told not to do it, because "there are some better cars and those which don't have a turbo charger", but I am proud that I made a right decision, because my car still runs well.
