1986 Volkswagen Golf E review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only things that have gone wrong was the water pump after 18 years of motoring I'm sure ill let it off that one.
And also the exhaust bracket at the back of the engine to the pipe snapped, but an easy and not costly repair soon sorted that.
General comments?
Well I really love my golf its only a little one, but it still has all the aspirations of its big brother the gti.
Its cheap its reliable and its so stylish.
