2001 Volkswagen Golf V5 review from UK and Ireland
"Pricey, but good looking solid quality car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch sensor broke after 10,000 miles causing slight engine hesitation during gear change - dealer fixed on service.
General comments?
The V5 is an excellent performer with a unique and raspy engine note.
Very fun to drive with great handling, making use of stability control and traction control is a must.
Interior is much higher spec than other manufacturers in its class, the Ford's and Japanese and French cars are no where near the interior look, feel and quality.
