1996 Volkswagen Golf review from Sweden
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coil, because I slipped on my clutch and the car died.
Rear shock absorbers.
Right-rear brake.
General comments?
Very good heat in the car - super good.
Always starts.
You can change things in this car yourself such as the spark plugs - but in new cars you can“t do that.
Good gearbox.
Nothing more has gone wrong.
Reliable car, 5 plus +++++
