... and that is all in +60000 miles.
The mark IV Golf GT TDi 130 is an outstanding car. It is seriously fast yet amazingly economical (53 mpg over +60000 miles). Motorway driving is great 90mph at approx. 2500rpm!
Very comfortable, but the handling could be a little more involving - easily fixed though with a non-VW handling kit.
Furthermore it has the best sound system I have even had - 8 quality speakers and crystal clear quality. Comfort is further enhanced by an excellent climate control system (although when air con is used it noticeably effects mpg, but not performance)
I look forward to the next 60000 miles with hopefully the same standard of reliability.
(PS No oil consumption problems as reported by other owners. If fact I have never had to add any oil between services.)
Hard to believe this could have come off the same production line as my old one. Same year, same model, same engine. Eleven faults in the first year, including two on delivery, oil consumption problems, electrical faults, build problems and water leaks inside.
Drove the car to the dealer, parked it up outside, rang the finance company from the sales manager's desk and cancelled the agreement (just past the half way point so perfectly legal). Turned around and walked out, that being the last time I ever saw the car or the dealer.
Would never touch a VW (or Audi, Skoda, Seat) again.
