2002 Volkswagen GTI review from North America
"Fun and fast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window door glass fell, but was corrected under warranty.
Some interior plastic failed.
Console latch failed.
General comments?
The car accelerates nicely. It's is fun to drive and gets pretty good city mileage (~25 mpg) considering how aggressively I drive.
Golf clubs will not fit in the hatch without the back seats down, and still are a pain.
