1999 Volkswagen Golf S review from UK and Ireland
"A dying myth, be careful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The quality of the paintwork (black) is very poor.
Door locks are a major problem with them.
Window screen wiper motors,
Gets covered with stone chips you wouldn't believe it!
Problems with electrics cutting out.
Not reliable it's an s reg and has broken down twice.
General comments?
Truly a terrible car, its comfortable and looks o.k, but that's about it. Dealers leave a lot to be desired very bad service!!, a very disappointing car has full service history and all the above has gone wrong in under two months. Also not an isolated incident as this has been the case of most if not all golfs I have heard from. This car is a dying myth! I cant warn you enough, beware.
