1998 Volkswagen Golf TDi GT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 12,000 miles no problems whatsoever apart from the mechanic's greasy footmarks all over the front carpets after the 10,000 mile service.
General comments?
I do not drive slowly but still have averaged 48mph on mixed road driving, around 50% motorway and the remainder A and B roads. It's as economical as my previous TDi Golf mk3.
