2003 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 review from Australia and New Zealand
"High quality at an affordable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It is a new car without any significant problems. A slight squeak in the back seat area to be addressed at 1000k service.
General comments?
This car is extremely well made with an extremely solid feel to the doors and interior.
Dash lighting is the best in the business and the motor is quiet and willing.
Handling is predictable with the ride somewhere between sporty and supple taking all but the most severe bumps well.
Quality interior is closer to luxury car levels with strong, supportive seats.
Four airbags were standard and the vehicle feels safe and secure.
A quiet, solid, safe and practical car with some sportiness and luxury feel.
