Volkswagen Golf Hatchback 1.9 E SDI 5d (2000/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Costs
£80 for an oil change and then I have to take it back because too much oil has been put in.
-
On the road
Driving
Solid driving, but bodyroll on corners.
Performance
68bhp will do 125mph and sit there and wacth as a GTi 5 tries in vane to get past and just as it thinks it's past, this beauty will squeeze to 130 and not touch the red line. So much for the beloved GTI.

Reliability
100% reliable, but durability 60%.

Security and Service
Service
Corkills of Liverpool - poor and overpriced servicing. Sorry, but they can not even do an oil change correctly.
