2001 Volkswagen Golf GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Top quality and value for money!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no faults with my Golf.
General comments?
The first time I test drove the GOLF I knew it was the perfect car!
I test drove Astra's, Pugs - both 206 & 306, and also some Japanese models.
I found the Golf had heaps of power and the quality was superb! Compared with the Astra & Pugs.
I traded in a 1996 model BMW 318i and have found that the Golf has about the same power, but the fuel economy is very economical.
The seats are very comfortable, especially with the 3 head rests in the back.
I bought the Golf because I was looking for a small, sporty, luxury, good quality, powerful but economical car, and the Golf was the perfect choice.
The standard steel wheels don't look too good so I recommend fitting alloy wheels.
