1991 Volkswagen Golf Ryder review from UK and Ireland
"Good Looking Classics that never ages!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong. It was in an accident (head on). It has never been the same since.
Was re-tuned to pass the MOT which left it flat and lifeless. It was then re-tuned back to its original state and was still dull.
Other than that no major problems. Had to change the middle section of the exhaust, but that was all.
General comments?
What a car, Looks and drives really well. I added some 15" 5 spoke alloys to it (not boy racer, just subtle enough) It looked really nice and didn't have a mark on it. Well not until the lovely lady drove into me on the wrong side of the road!!
Slightly underpowered for a 1.3 but who cares it was my first car.
