Volkswagen Golf Hatchback (1984 - 1992) 1.6 Driver 3d (89) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
There is this car about 12 years in our family. It is made simply but with of the best ideas. I think that VW was the company of geniuses among the other companies. - The motor is like a small and light box with 1.6L and 70 horses. But it is flexible as a diesel and breaths like a dragon, you can drive on every RPM. First of all: The main characters of car dynamic is in that how do you feel it? It feels really perfect. Nice pedals work - not light on press and you can feel the motor without ears. - Suspension is really amazing. First of all, it drives really stable on 150km/h with the 165/70/R13 not well balanced front winter tyres. Secondly, suspension is quite compact at all. The car looks not so lifted but it's clearance is wonderful. I can prove it easilly: I live in UA and work at something about a village area, roads are really lousy, especially in winter, but Golf goes through this like a plane. And sure, one of the best advantages of Golf is really light and informative steering without PAS. It is easy to drive with closed eyes (some joke, but true characteristic) - Really big and comfortable cabin. The rear seat I can only name a sofa. This is the most comfortable car in this class and also make a competition nowadays. All buttons are on your hand. Very nice driver seat and view. It is easy to park in a garage, parallel parking and without mirrors. But one disadvantage about front seats: original cheap seats are really bad, it wears very fast and you should find something a bit expensive from velour or GL or other better versions. It is easy to park in a garage, parallel parking and without mirrors. And it's really, I accustomed to park just by looking back very fast. This car is made for a long ages, it's a real car. It's cleverly made and very honest to it's owner, no questions and unpleasant surprises. Nowadays I would buy this car instead of new Polo and also new Golf.
How reliable do you find the car?
As for reliability: you can drive this little cannon even with one wheel of four. Time takes itself, but it still drives and really nice.Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
