2002 Volkswagen Golf GT TDI review from UK and Ireland
"An economical rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Excessive oil consumption during the first 10,000 miles. Used over 2 litres.
General comments?
Excellent car, very fast, comfortable and fun to drive. An infinitely better drive than the 2.0 petrol GTI.
