1996 Volkswagen Golf GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"It's a great car, but not suited for a home mechanic because of the hundreds of computerised wires"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power window motor stopped working
that's about the only thing.
General comments?
Vw golf handles very nice and is a very reliable car only if you take care of it and service it reguarly, the parts for it are very expensive, but they last longer than those after market products, it's a very stylish looking little hatch.
