2002 Volkswagen Golf GT TDi (130 bhp) review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
The car has been flawless from day one. The car boasts averages of well over fifty miles per gallon combined motorway and around town. I can honestly say that I have never seen it achieve less than 28.9 miles per gallon. The car has superb handling and acceleration and the sports seats are very comfortable. The car came with a solid set of speakers (though disappointing head unit), most of which I did not have to upgrade. Even with a 1000 watt sub-woofer in the back the car hasn't rattled. Build quality rivals that of my old BMW. Though it's not a BMW it's an excellent run about. I'd say £15,000 well spent.
