1988 Volkswagen Golf CL review from UK and Ireland

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Bad rust on rear tailgate. Apart from that it's pretty bombproof.

General comments?

Excellent handling and brakes, surprisingly spacious inside. I'm quite shocked that I like it. Average engine. Headlights are garbage, my motorcycle gives better vision at night.
