2001 Volkswagen Golf Generation review from Greece
"Better car than those coming from Japan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 1000 kilometres, the dashboard creaks a lot. I hear creaks when cornering coming from the back of the car. After 100km/h, I have air leak on the drivers door. The engine consumes a LOT OF OIL. After 1000km, about 200 ml.
General comments?
Aristocratic interior, very good sound speakers, nice-comfortable seats. The engine is good for 1.4, and it has very good torque. Climatronic is very helpful and nice. Handling with Pirelli 205/55/R16 is SUPERB!Better than Alfa Romeo!It handles like it's on rails. Petrol consumption is generally very low. I recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and prestige car.
