2001 Volkswagen Golf TDI review from North America
"This is my first new car after about 35 used cars over the years, and I feel that I picked a winner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, I've only owned the car for two weeks but the things I noticed so far are the seats are a bit hard, hopefully they will soften up over time.
The folding down back seat is kinda awkward to manage having to remove the head rests, but when you've completed the job it's nice and roomy.
The lock/alarm mechanism is really cool, but it only operates at no more than about 20 feet away.
General comments?
I was actually going to the VW dealer to look at used Toyota's when I decided to test drive the Golf Diesel. I was so amazed, all the other cars I test drove after that did not compare.
This car totally holds the road even in a wind storm and the room inside is amazing.
Everyone I have talked to has told me I made a great purchase and the car will last me a long time, and that's good cause after it's paid off I want to still have a good car, not an expensive piece of junk.
