Volkswagen Golf Hatchback 2.8 V6 4MOTION 5d (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent as a second hand buy. Depreciation bad if you buy new - I paid about 60% of list for a two year old car.
Costs
Expensive to run as far as tyres and brakes go but it is a performance car so I would expect that.

On the road
Driving
Superb handling even in the wet, 4 WD is excellent.
Performance
Goes well but without the powerband of the Japmobiles so more of a fast cruiser than a thrasher.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Mechanically excellent but needs regular servicing.
Image
I chose this car because it looks like a standard Golf but certainly goes rather better!
Comfort
Nice interior, comfortable seats. Booster seats in the back obscure the seat belt receptacle though.

Security and Service
Security
Apart from having to multi click the lock to open the boot no problems at all.
