2001 Volkswagen Golf Comfortline review from Israel
"Don't touch this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front windows dropped 2 times (there was a recall, but only for the front)
The gearbox started to make noise after 6 months and was sent to be repaired, but the problem keeps coming back from time to time.
The right front bumper had a problem that had to be fixed.
General comments?
It's a comfortable car and have a great air conditioning, but other than that - it's a crappy Golf and gives Volkswagen a bad name.
The dealer never admitted of the gearbox problem, the front windows were replaced, but he said that the problem is only with the front.
