Used Volkswagen Golf for SaleNationwide

Small, light car with plenty of room for performance mods and styling upgrades.

I absolutely loved this car. It was my second car and my college car. Unfortunately, she was injured in an accident and put out to pasture. She had a sunroof, 5 speed--just loved it.

Although I loved this little German car, I must say that the '86 has an overheating problem. This isn't limited to just me, had a friend with an '86 Jetta and the same thing. I rebuilt the head, had the radiator flow checked and replaced the thermostat. Oh well. Aside from that coming up at the end of the car's life, it was awesome. Everything was at hand where you needed it in the drivers seat, the front room was accomodating for me at 6'1 with very long legs, and there was plenty of room in the hatch for carrying whatever you needed. The back seat was tight, but I did manage to get six people including myself home in it one night. Repairs on this car were dead simple. Leave it to the Germans to make everything accessible as it can be on a tiny car. There was no extranious stuff going on. I loved this car and woudl get another in a second.

I love getting 45 mpg on average! Though this car has little to no get up and go, it gets me where I need to go. It has been a great first car. Its also not the best looking car, but again the gas mileage makes it all worth it.

Performance is great. The build quality of Volkswagens are good, but my head gasket or valve seals just went bad. Love the car though. Gas mileage is amazing, probably about 21-26 mpg. Very fun to drive, very snappy transmission.
