1985 Volkswagen Golf GTi review from North America
"A fast little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had absolutley nothing go wrong with this car in the short time that I owned it.
General comments?
Well I bought this car from a trucker that had 43,000 miles flat on it, it ran great and was a very fast car! the only problem is that I hit black ice going 125 mph and the back right tire blew out and it rolled a few times and I hit a fence. the safety of this car was astounding my brother and I walked right out of it and the car was obviously totalled, but I only had a broken finger.. I wish I wouldn't have made this mistake I loved that car to death and its my own dumb fault its gone : (but I would definitely reccomend this car to anybody.
