1998 Volkswagen Golf gg review from Chile
"It's a great average car yes theres worse and yes theres better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The timing belt snapped at 98000ks the rear light globes keep going out the wiper is just too slow or too fast abit of roof rust.
General comments?
The car is handling well, the other comments on this car on this site sound like the person driving the car doesn't no how to maintain a car, the same as with all other cars there will be minor or major problems even if it's a merc or bmw you'll still need to fix something mechanically no matter what make it is. A car is a car its not something that's made to last forever without fixing something in it.
