1986 Volkswagen Golf C review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only major problem has been failure of a C.V joint which I believe was caused by me driving it into a rock a month previously. Aside from that nothing except general wear and tear (brakes, tyres etc).
General comments?
A very solid and dependable car. It handles well, is economical and can take a high mileage (currently 165,200). Quad headlamps are useful to have in Wales.
Not fast with 1.3 engine but more than adequate, needs a 5th gear as well.
Overall I am very satisfied with this car.
