1996 Volkswagen Golf CL review from UK and Ireland

"A well built, good performance economical hatch"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

None.

General comments?

Brilliant car, originally purchased for motorway travelling. Good performance, solid chassis and excellent fuel economy. Diesel noise level is minimal. Worth paying a little extra for the TDi over the TD.
