1999 Volkswagen Golf GTi Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance bag of hammers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
You name it:
Coolant leak.
Doors constantly rattle even though they've been supposedly fixed 5 times.
Nearside window fell out.
Seat frame needed replacing when new, seat frame now creaks.
Handle fell off the rear seat, stitching came away from the rear seat, oh and it also pulls to the left!!!
General comments?
If it wasn't for all the faults, this would have been a fantastic car, performance wise it is out of this world, especially mid-range. Good MPG as well, if you take your time. However with this kind of performance, it's hard, very hard!!
