1991 Volkswagen Golf Syncro review from Sweden
"Golf is an advanced form of agriculture, nothing else"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering-servo broke (expensive!).
Tires blew (were original ones).
Minor repairs to the headlights.
Front passenger seat wouldn't fold.
Leaks from the 4wd.
General comments?
I previously owned a Beetle which was a pretty good car considering its age (15 years when I bought it). Since I live in Sweden I wanted a better winter car than that. Hence the four wheel drive which is excellent. I'll never buy a car without it again.
However, this supposed diamond which had few miles turned into a money-eating machine deluxe. I spend almost as much on repairs as on the vehicle itself!! This was the last Volkswagen for me, Subaru here I come!
