2000 Volkswagen Golf GLS review from North America
"A reliable keeper, if maintained correctly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front passenger window regulator/clips were replaced under warranty.
Mass Airflow Sensor replaced at 45,000 miles.
Cruise Control switch/Turn Signal Stalk replaced when Cruise Control failed (due to chafed wires).
General comments?
Fun, fast, comfortable, solid.
Only current diesel option in the US. Great MPG, lovely sound, and can operate on B100 (100% Biodiesel made from vegetable oil).
Great road car. 45-50 mpg on trips and around town.
