1993 Volkswagen Golf VR6 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Airbag failed to work in a head-on crash after 76,000 miles.
Power steering started to fail soon after the car's crash damage was repaired.
Stereo stopped working after 90,000 miles.
Window motors failed after 106,000 miles.
General comments?
The Golf VR6 was a dream to drive and generally reliable, apart from a few electrical faults. It was worth every penny of the £6,000 that I paid for it.
I liked the VR6 because it was great to drive, good value for money, comfortable and well equipped.
After three years of excellent motoring I sold it to a neighbour for £2,500 and it's still going strong now after 12 years on the road.
