2001 Volkswagen Golf 4motion review from UK and Ireland
"Comfy sports car with a big boot"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new lambda sensor at 75,000 miles.
General comments?
This is one amazing car. The engine is so powerful, and there's torque all the way through the rev range. The leather seats are like armchairs, and the interior is a very pleasant place to be.
The only modification I did was put an induction kit on for the extra grunt. It sounds amazing.
The handling is also top draw. The 4 wheel drive system works exceptionally, and the car never feels uncontrollable.
I will keep this car for many years.
I have sat on the back bumper of my mates S3, which has been chipped, and was not too far behind an R32.
