1999 Volkswagen Golf Comfortline review from South Africa
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far, let's just hope it remains that way, but from the look of things at present, this will certainly be a very happy "marriage" indeed.
General comments?
Although it did cost me an arm and a leg to get it, it truly is a remarkable vehicle. I was quite surprised by the number of standard features that come with this model, from ABS to Airbags and Central Locking. Road handling is superb, and although I have on a couple of occasions put it through the test, I was amazed at the control I had. In terms of performance, I could certainly do with an extra 200cc's or so, it's not a tyre burner.
