Volkswagen Golf Hatchback 2.0 GTI 3d (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Definitely not good value for money. A bit overpriced. But the strong residuals justify the high initial cost.
Costs
Reasonable running cost. Managed to get about 35mpg on average.

On the road
Driving
A bit dull to drive when compared to rivals (Focus), but it's very good in general.
Performance
A bit dissapointing for a GTi badged car. Would expect better acceleration/suspension.

Living with it
Reliability
So far so good. Done about 17000 miles without a single problem.
Image
Nice looking car. A real head turner and often get noticed at lights (mine is highly polished in met black!).
Comfort
Sports seats are supportive yet firm. No problem with long journeys.
