Volkswagen Golf Hatchback 1.4 Match 5d (1995/M) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Well, mine was good value, anyway. 125,000 miles now, still runs fine.
Costs
Cambelt change was expensive. Insurance is not bad. Servicing is ok, do most of it myself, quite easy.

On the road
Driving
Heavy and small engine, but gets there in the end! Max about 95mph.
Performance
Not the quickest car in the world, but handles well. Quite a lot of body roll, as expected - heavy car!

Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down. German car.
Image
Not bad. Still looks modernish.

Loads of room, back and front. Seats good for hours.

Security
Well, it's got a key to unlock the door, that's about it. Mine hasn't been stolen or broken into. Yet.
Service
VW Twickenham very helpful, only too pleased to charge me £300 for a belt change...
