2001 Volkswagen Golf review from North America
"Buyer Beware"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mass Airflow sensor replaced 3 x in 2 years.
Windshield Wiper burned out at 50,000km.
Faulty car alarm system-would go off in the middle of the night for now reason 2 x's.
General comments?
I love driving my car. This is my second Golf. My first Golf (1990) never had any issues. It was very reliable. This 2001 version has been very disappointing-I am having so many problem with a car with such low mileage. I am completely heart-broken. The 1-800 Customer Service Rep was also quite stand offish-not helpful at all.
