2000 Volkswagen Golf GLS review from North America
"A mechanically very scary car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had a fire in the cab after the engine malfunctioned.
General comments?
A car like this with relatively low mileage and excellent maintenance record should not have malfunctioned with a fire. If you have had any experience like the one I have described, please post a comment.
