2000 Volkswagen Golf GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Good all rounder, generally very satisfied"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Approx 4 months ago I had a warning light for low oil pressure, turns out the oil pump needed replacing, I was told this is very rare on VW's and not to expect a full recovery, but everything is now fine.
General comments?
Good acceleration and responsive into corners.
However you can get a similar performance statistic from the 150ps diesel version with far better economy.
Interior is well put together and the recaro's keep you firmly in your place.
I am not overly keen on the wood effect door and dash trim.
