I have had no faults with my Golf.
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.
I don't think the 1.6 would have any more pulling power compared with the 1.8 Astra. Just exactly what kind of low pulling power Astra did you drive?
