2000 Volkswagen Golf GTi Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"A disaster"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Far too many rattles to mention. Squeaky front seats, sunroof with mind of its own, rattles everywhere, engine runs at 50% in the wet, rattly drinks cup holder (replaced 4 times), all doors rattle, sunroof console rattles as well and VW dealer Whites are c~*p.
General comments?
Car looks good, but is seriously let down by the build quality. Glad to have a 3 year warranty.
Could do with a bit more power, say 180bhp, and a slighty harder ride.
VW need to get their build quality far better if they want to continue to market like an Audi.
Very, very disappointed in the car quality. Then maybe I'm just lumbered with a bad one. Been into the dealers around 15 times in 18 months.
