Volkswagen Golf Hatchback 2.0 GTI 3d (2000/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A much sought-after car. I"m not disappointed with my second-hand purchase of a 3-yr-old model with 57,000 miles on the clock.
Costs
No major expenditure so far except standard service. Insurers will increase premium cost for any modifications. This can be a source of frustration !!

Driving
You really want to drive this car. I never tire of getting into it. I have done 10,000 miles in 8 months.
Performance
Wickedly quick. Resist temptation - there are speed cameras out there!

Living with it
Reliability
No mechanical problems to date.
Image
You will always get admiring glances from others at traffic lights. It still turns heads even though it's second-hand.
Comfort
Seating is snug and comfortable and I haven"t experienced back stiffness in this car despite travelling high mileages.

Security and Service
Security
Don't take a chance… get a Thatcham Cat 1 spec alarm and sleep/park easier. Your insurers will insist on it. Can be a damage target for frustrated thieves. Mine was - windscreen was smashed.
Service
No problems as yet.
