1998 Volkswagen GTI V6 review from North America
"Love the quick little thing!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not too much has gone wrong with this car as yet. I had to replace the driver side window mechanism recently. When my mechanic pulled the door apart the wire was TOTALLY frayed. That cost me a whopping $350.00. But that's about all that's gone wrong on it's own. I had a little fender-bender which I didn't think was HUGE, but due to the type of car ended up costing me $4000!! It's not a cheap car to fix!!!
General comments?
My boyfriend placed a different air filter in the car which gave the already 172Hp car another 7Hp.
I don't so much recommend driving too far of a distance with this car, the seats are a little numbing.
I love my car and really don't have too many bad things to say about it.
