2006 Volkswagen Golf Sport TDi review from UK and Ireland
"Very fast with unbelievable economy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No faults at all.
General comments?
Amazing car. This is the 7th Golf I have owned in the last 20 years, and this mark V 2.0 TDi Sport model serves to reinforce I shall be a Golf fan for the rest of my life.
This car has been outstanding in terms of ; (i) performance, (ii) economy 50 - 70+mpg, (iii) handling (great improvement over the mark IV), (iv) reliability, (v) build quality (okay, I accept slightly less over-engineered compared to the mark IV), (vi) standard of dealership support.
A highly recommended car. Whatever type of driving you do - around town I think it runs on vapours kicked out of other cars, and on a motorway your only concern is collecting points on your license.
