1986 Volkswagen Golf C review from UK and Ireland
"Got a lot of street cred and looks good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all. I only replaced the clutch cable cos it was getting stiff (no sniggering).
General comments?
Driving seat is uncomfortable and badly designed, so after a bit of driving, my back aches.
The radio is placed in an awkward place. Apart from that, a very good car.
