Volkswagen Golf Hatchback GTD Turbo 5d (1991/H) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Costs
High mileage on a J plate - things start to go wrong and can be expensive! Fantastic on Diesel.
-
On the road
Driving
No power steering. Can be impossible to reverse park!
Performance
You get nothing if you stick your foot to the floor. You have to wait for about 5 seconds before it starts to pick up, but when it does pick up it does it pretty well.

Living with it
Reliability
I can honestly say it will start, even it is below freezing!
Image
The car looks nice with big bumpers (with front fogs) and bbs RA alloys.
Comfort
It has a lot of head room, but with the driver's seat right back there is hardly any legroom for a passenger sat in the back.

Security and Service
Security
To be honest it's crap! I have fitted uprated remote central locking and alarm and 4x electric windows all linked together, so at the press of a button the windows go up, the doors lock and alarm is on.
Service
Very helpful, polite and even gave me a VW keyring!
