1998 Volkswagen Golf GTi Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Luxury hot hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only a couple of minor problems:
CD player on delivery had to be replaced.
Passenger electric window stopped going up after 1 year.
General comments?
Not a raw GTI in the old sense, but still quick, extremly comfortable and very economical for a car of this performance level.
