Volkswagen Golf

Pros: Good consumption. When driving with a roof rack, consumption either does not change or is minimal. Pretty brisk. Warm up quickly in winter. During these years, there have been every year in Poland (for a few years even 3-4 times), Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, Lithuania, Estonia. Every year in the summer for 10 - 12 days traveled through these countries. As somebody has already written, if it were possible to get such a new one, then without thinking it would take.

Cons: There may have been a slightly higher ground clearance, the boot lid was expensive to replace (used in normal condition - 200 €), the parking brake cables had to be changed regularly, the rear passenger windows sweat in wet weather, and if lowered, they cause unpleasant vibrations in the air when driving on the track.

Pros: German quality, good enough for that old, was very successful year as car repairs were meagre and consumption, even below 6L next year, unfortunately, clutch, camshaft, a turbine building at great cost. But for old car with these risks to be taken into account. The engine good, sufficiently powerful (74kW, 2 red TDI letters), very good jump, in winter cold engine operation in a matter of seconds. Before had Volvo commonrail was younger, it was longer to start even warmer, this really is ideal engine in this respect, and an economical as V50 2.0L diesel. Also inside luggage compartment surprisingly more than V50 estate.

Cons: Minus - on start engine is smoky and slightly stinks. Visually design could be better.

Pros: Its small practic car, average low fuel consumption for a 24 year old car,funn to drive and quiet car, comfortable. never heard rattles and squicks, simple to maintain and low cost repairs and replacement parts and labor costs.

Cons: For some models its hard to find parts (engine parts) mine was 1.6 101hp and in my area barely could find engine parts. I should order from ebay and wait for 2-3 weeks to come. Electric windows are a bit slow and manual gearbox is the most awful thing in city traffic and it can be jerky sometimes.

Pros: It should be noted that Golf 5 4x4 is simple, fast, cost-effective. In city it consumes around 3.8 to 5.0l , good persistence on road, a very practical and comfortable even on back benches. Technical inspection has just completed without failures. Overall, very good car any roads, perfect controllability, and so far the best one from 6 cars I've had.

Cons: Filters must be followed up, especially cabin filter, mirrors could perhaps have been placed in a little wider, in general, nothing negative for moment.

Pros: Good performance for a 24 year old vw golf, fuel not the best but average for the driving. Small,practic car, fun to drive, quiet and comfortable. Never heard any rattles and squakes. no rust..solid body. previous owner took care of him very well too.

Cons: Manual gearbox, got jerky sometimes, and sluggish. the most afwul thing in city traffic. front windows regulators (electric) not fast. the headlight beam not the best for its type. Brake pedal feels a bit soft sometimes. need to push a bit harder.

Pros: Engine power output of 122 ps (engine turbine) is more than sufficient. Very easy to control. Very stable on road in both winter and summer. The engine is amazingly quiet, practically cant hear it. I've bought this car that with 130.000 km mileage. A year driving 10.000 km nothing was not repaired, nothing changed.

Cons: The only thing that might wish to sporty driving - slightly lower fuel consumption. If you're driving normally, then it is OK.

Pros: Droved it across the Europe. A trusted and reliable car. I'm performing regular maintenance and replacing worn out parts, for Golf parts are not expensive. The last inspection without a single failure - deficiencies were not found: If I could buy 4th Golf new from dealer, then definitely would buy it instead of new models.

Cons: There is nothing negative.
