Volkswagen Golf Hatchback 1.6 SE 5d (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought second hand for a bargain, £5k. Still worth it.
Costs
Owned for 9 months, no major probs. However electric sunroof kept on automatically opening every time you closed it. Finally got it closed. Scared to open it again! Front passenger lock pops back up when you lock car internally. Have to press button again

On the road
Driving
Good handling on road.
Performance
Good on petrol. Unfortunately has increased to £42 pounds but I can't do anything about fuel prices can I? Does 350 miles on a full tank.

Living with it
Reliability
Been so reliable. I keep on opening the bonnet expecting to spot something. Nothing so far, except MOT next month.
Image
I still like the image. It's not as popular as the Focus thank God. This specific model isn't as plentiful as the Focus thank God. Don't you just hate driving a car that everybody has?
Comfort
Feel comfortable when driving. However, this doesn't mean I want to sit on this seat for 6 hours.

Security and Service
Security
Happy with deadlock system. Even tested it and it works. To test, lock yourself in the car using the key. Try getting out, none of the doors open. Bring it on car thieves! (had previous car stolen). Alarm works.
Service
Haven't spoke to VW yet because car is fine. However, I need a duplicate key. Will make another post if faced with any problems.
