1998 Volkswagen GTI review from North America
"Good performance and great reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. The car is perfect.
General comments?
Great and very reliable car.
The performance is not the greatest, but after I installed the Neuspeed chip and K&N filter it is OK. Great city car. 30 mpg.
The seats are a bit uncomfy, but you can get used to them. Otherwise a really good looking interior (GTI package).
Great re-sale value.
