Volkswagen Golf Hatchback (2004 - 2008) 1.4 S FSI 5d Owner Review

It’s comfy, has a very nice gearbox, it’s quiet and reasonably fuel efficient for its year and engine size (38mpg.) But, it’s got problems with doors not opening or not locking, and the emissions sensors have all gone haywire. The OE radio is a pile of rubbish. Overall the Golf 1.4 FSi, is the most boring, soulless, character less pile of metal that I have ever driven. I wouldn’t buy another one if it was the only car available on the planet. I am not new to VW’s, having learned to drive on a Mk1 Golf, and owned a Passat. I wouldn’t buy, another Golf V or recommend it to my worst enemy. Buying this was the biggest car buying mistake I have ever made. The new generation of Golfs have to better than this Cr@pwagen. Driving this thing has put me off Golfs for life.
