2001 Volkswagen Golf GLS review from North America
"Living nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust on the car after 3 years.
Turbo blew after 3 years.
Electrical problems constantly.
Seats worn out in no time.
General comments?
A very heavy and safe car couldn't ask for a safer car.
Rust problem after 3 years Volkswagon would not fix it,12 year corrosion warranty-hoax.
In 4 years I had the car since new spent about $15,000 in repairs not kidding.
In 2004 spent $6000.00 in repairs.
If I would've known would've bought a Lexus and had no repairs.
Dealer service not up to par, after warranty you get treated like a nobody.
If you do buy one after this definitely get the extended warranty you'll need it.
