2003 Volkswagen Golf TDI review from UK and Ireland
"Dull, dreary unappealing forgettable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Turbo lag and sloppy handling mar a well built if terminally dull car.
There is nothing about this car that makes it in any way desirable. As an estate car it lacks any real practicality, as a drivers car it is moribund as a status symbol- well give me a break!
A car only for those who have no interest in driving, but believe that VW's are somehow more reliable.
