En meget almindelig motor ik det helt vilde i optræk men er en meget pålidelig bil. Den har ikke haft de vilde reperationer kan små ting som alle biler jo har. En sjov lille gocart bil som jeg holder meget af.Apr 10, 2012

appearance- black on black, leather interier, custom rear plate holder.
cost of ownership-not a whole lot
fun factor-this car is amazing to drive, love it to piecesDec 21, 2009

it's slow as hell. things keep falling off of it, but it just
won't stop running. i change the oil once a year and
put gas in it twice a month. if it were a different color
and didn't have all the dents and dirt it may be good
looking in a your-kid-is-ugly-but-you-love-him-
anyway sort of way.Nov 12, 2009

Its nothing special...yet. Maybe after college it will get the look I want it to have. If it isn't this car though it will be something better. SO MUCH BETTER. I need to get rid of this blueish color though first.Aug 04, 2009

it's performances are really great. it can be personalised very well. it breaks up really rarely, and has only one error: engine belt often breaks up. it's gas mileage is around 4-7 litres, depending on engine. it's really easy to drive and most people who drives it once, drives it foreverJul 01, 2009

It's a good car and it's cheap to maintain! It has a fast acceleration, but no top end. Overall, I really like this car and my next car will be an upgrade to the VW Citi Golf. I might just get myself the VW Citi Golf R-Line. Now there is power for you.Mar 13, 2009

Performance - Has no power,acceleration terrible and really horrible to accelirate on high speed, brakes well and handles very well on the 16" tyres.
Build Quality - Is ok, but a little bit of squeaks/rattles.
Appearance - looks pretty good.
Cost of Ownership – Very low gas mileage, but high maintainance.
Fun Factor – It is fun to drive it on gravel and ice, but it is djust to powerless.Jan 21, 2009

Golf 4 1,8 20V ..
Overall en god bil, men lidt for meget motorlarm lige ved 1,8 modellen. Den kører rigtigt godt, trækker rent hele vejen. Og så er den ikke alt for gammel, så der er minimal rust og se ( indtil nu (; )
Men tag ud og prøv den, i blir forelsket :D :D ..Aug 13, 2008

I had this car for just under 2 years and it was fun to drive, especially on the smaller roads in Ireland. It had 75HP engine and the fuel consumption was low and gave excellent mileage. It handled the corners very well and because of it's low center of gravity the performance and handling was good. May 05, 2008

If you buy a Golf make sure it is colour coded and the engine is bigger than a 1.4 L.Apr 18, 2008

It has 131K on it now. Several problems with the rust around the license plate on the hatch the most annoying and likely the most expensive to fix. (Yet to do). It is good on gas (40 mpg) and quite fast and looks good. Driver's seat is a pain to adjust and not that comfortable. Relatively quiet.Mar 16, 2008

This is my car and has over 205k on it. It runs almost like new and still smokes the competition. It's the most fun in winter; it being front wheel drive, it handles unbelievably in snow. However, the weight distribution isn't perfect and is front heavy. My Wolfsburg is exactly a GTi with the exception of it being 4-door instead of 2- and there is no VR6 option. It's got an ABA, which is a SOHC inline-4 with 1981cc of displacement, kicking 115 hp and 130 lbs/foot torque but trust me; it feels like much more! It's not the most aerodynamic car on the road lol but I think it's the coolest car ever. But don't take my word for it; it's my first car and I love it to hell. The boxy-style doesn't please every one. Reliability isn't perfect. I've had a few things break since I've had it and the electronics would need some revising but overall, this is an awsome car! German cars rule!Jan 04, 2008
