"Nice car, crap high speed handling"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Bump Stops

Shock absorber

Tyre punctured.

General comments?

Nice car really, really torquey, you can pull from 15mph in 5th.

Really does accelerate although struggles for grip in the wet.

Handles like a pig, especially on the limit where it wallows and rolls badly.

Built for m-ways though and will cruise forever.

Very long gearing (105mph in 3rd).

Comfortable faster than you average 'RST' (you know who you are - 125mph is that it!)

If you own a VR6, you should be informed that Golf have a rather crappy suspension. Try Bilstein and it will beat other car in the winding road. My 1995 VR6 handle better then my Prelude and Lexus GS400.
