1993 Volkswagen Golf VR6 review from UK and Ireland
"The best hatchback in the world"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger's side window motor failed at 77,000 miles.
Stereo developed faults at around 80,000 miles before finally packing up at 86,000 miles.
Tyres wore very quickly.
Interior trim started to crumble during my final year of ownership.
General comments?
The Golf was a very reliable car except for one or two electrical problems.
Build quality was initially very good, but the car's interior eventually started to show its age.
The best thing about the Golf was its swift performance and dynamic handling.
It was also very comfortable and practical.
