1999 Volkswagen Golf GT TDi review from UK and Ireland
"Great economy and performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing, except a puncture but that wasn't the cars fault.
General comments?
Excellent car. Performance and economy. I do about 70 miles a day commuting to work and the car averages over 60mpg. It is also solid, well-built and comfortable.
Handling and roadholding as also good and the ride is very good if a little on the firm side. I do about 18,000 miles a year and I need a solid, reliable and economical car and this VW is the car for the job.
