1986 Volkswagen Golf CL from UK and Ireland - Comments

"If only modern cars were this simple yet brilliant!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Drivers door hinge needed to be welded back in place.

Rear door handle snapped.

Boot latch rattles.

General comments?

This car is sheer Germanic quality! It is so strong and reliable. Once it has warmed up, it drives like a new car. Although I haven't driven it for more than 1000 miles, its quality shines through. I have driven many cars. This, however, is a classic design, not just in its wonderful retro style, but in durability, reliability and economy. Oh and hardly any rust.

Parts are available everywhere and very reasonably priced. The only parts to have failed were through 18 years of use. These cars remind you of where Volkswagen's reputation was earned. I am sorry to say, it is no longer the case. This car would drive me to Sicily tomorrow if my wife would let me!

I wrote this review. I would like the review to have a yellow smiley face, not the white, unimpressed one as I gave the car a top review!

Please could you alter this?

Many thanks.
