1997 Volkswagen Golf GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Good car however be prepared to fork out a bit to keep it in good condition"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tyre wear heavy on front.
Rust under door seals.
Front right wheel bearing.
General comments?
Good little car.
Rust fixed by Honda using a 'smart repair' (cheaper than a full repair).
Dealers let down VW with poor after sales service.
