1992 Volkswagen Golf CL review from UK and Ireland
"The only way to get rid of this car is to shoot it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has had a long hard life and has in the course of events needed attention.
The break pump overheated and broke its seal.
The wheel bearings needed replacing.
General comments?
I loved this car when I got it and after 9 years, I still have a soft spot for it.
It replaced a very satisfying Volkswagen Golf MK II. It is not as good a car as the previous generation car - althought it is more comfortable. It is more expensive to run, not as reliable and slower.
It is head and shoulders above its peers - the Ford Escort, Opel Astra et al.
