1997 Volkswagen Golf GLS review from North America
"A hella sick, speedy car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
PVC valve went bad.
General comments?
I love this car, if I had a chance to buy another car, I would buy a brand new Golf! The interior has a luxurious feel, and is quite comfortable. The exterior is, well awesome! The exterior outdoes any Honda I've ever seen. The car takes crashes well too, I'm sad to report. But repair wasn't that expensive. The car handles quite well for it's stock suspension. Unlike most hatchbacks, that are top heavy and are prone to roll over. The golf isn, t that top heavy at all. Overall, this car has been the best car I have ever owned.
