1994 Volkswagen Golf ryder review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable and economical car, but severely lacking in grunt"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
4XTYRES.
STEERING RACK BUSHES.
BRAKE PADS AND FRONT DISCS.
General comments?
Did not have pas, so steering was very heavy.
The 1.4 engine struggled due to the size of the car.
Extremely reliable, never let us down in over 30k miles.
Quite basic, no electrics.
Excellent build quality, body work was mint.
Overall a low maintenance, sturdy car.
