Volkswagen Golf Hatchback 2.0 GTI 3d (1995/M) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Very reliable and feels very very solid.
Costs
Most sensible choice for a Golf as have heard other engines are underpowered, and 16v and VR6 take a lot more fuel. Parts are well priced too from independents.

On the road
Driving
Handles well although standard suspension gives more body roll than I would have thought.
Performance
Could be faster and first gear doesn't help! But good in second and third and plenty of torque on motorways even with 5 in the car.

Living with it
Reliability
Very dependable ad long as they are serviced well and not abused!
Image
Might be just me but looks wise I think its the best Golf but everyone's opinion varies! Alloys and lowered suspension make a huge difference but have kept mine standard.
Comfort
Very comfortable seats and driving position. Gear box is tough though, seems to be a recurrent problem on these.

Security and Service
Security
Never had any problems, immobiliser and full closure alarm as standard is reassuring.
Service
Very pricey and also service prices vary across dealerships so ring around!
