The car is relatively new and nothing important has gone wrong with the car, however, I had to take it back to adjust one of the light bulbs inside the stop light. Except for that, nothing else.
The car is very fast and the acceleration is great, as a matter of fact it can outrun almost every car in its segment. The gear box is awesome and the car is pretty comfortable. Handling is very good on tight turns due to the suspension it has; the down part is that the hard suspension causes noises inside the cabin.
Well I just bought the car and it's excellent so I advice people to buy it till now no problem amazing performance!
The car you own is not the GTI version, the GTI is a 1.0 turbocharged car that as far as I know can only be bought in Brazil. The gol is a pretty good vehicle, and fast, its faster than the so called MK-III Golf GTI.
Well, you are a little mistaken to, the GTI is a 2.0 liter 16v (engine made in Germany) and the 1.0 turbo 16v is simply another model. The 1.0 turbo 16v has 112hp and the GTI HAD 145hp, but sadly the last model was 2002. The 1.0 turbo I thought it was cancelled circa 2003.
I put a comment on the 1.0 8v model and I agree it is a reliable car.
Does anybody knows about the volkswagen´s gol sportline 2004 engine output power???
