2002 Volkswagen Golf GLS review from North America
"Cozy, but an expense to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Already needs a tune-up at 51,000 km.
Oil changes are expensive.
Timing belt needed to be replaced and very costly for labour!
General comments?
Handles very well.
Needs more power! very difficult to drive uphill.
Very slow to pick up speed 0-60.
