2000 Volkswagen Golf GTi review from UK and Ireland
"If there's a car out there that's good for everything, this is it."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Break light switch under break pedal failed, after about 10,000 miles.
General comments?
Does everything.
Practical. Rear seats fold flat providing huge space, we've even got a dining table in there.
Quick, nice performance, improving with age.
Well Built. Almost every noise I hear ends up being caused by some object in the glove box or boot, not by any loose car trim.
Comfortable. Spent 12 hours driving back from Cornwall once and felt like I'd been in the car for 20 minutes when I got out the other end.
Economical. For a performance car, I can easily get 40 mpg on a long run, 30+ around town. I'd say I average 32 -33mpg.
