Volkswagen Golf 1.9 S TDI 3dr (Mk 5)

this is the first vw that i have owned overall i am well pleased with it very supportive and comfortable seats being the sport i do find the suspension a bit hard with the potholes on the roads we have here excellent fuel economy combined with sharp performance means that i enjoy driving it compared to the vauxhall astra i previously owned i wonder why i bought the astra in the first place would certainly buy another but cant see me parting with this one for a long time yet i will service it at 10k intervals and have changed cam belt as it is an 06 model with 40k miles on it

Volkswagen Golf 1.9 S TDI 3dr. Nice german car, good on fuel, nice blue speedo lights, engine makes a baaaarr noise when accelerating. i like the floppy wipers. Base models are a bit too basic, no stereo controls, no alloys but air-con, rear speakers, seat belt bong gets annoying if your just moving the car or goin around the corner. Fuel filler hole is very awkward and sometimes makes the pump stop because the fuel cant get into it fast enough. Its massive when you come to wash it, the stereo sounds very trebley and distorts alot, CD played jumps very easy.

I do generally love the Volkswagen Golf 1.9 S TDI. It looks pretty sweet and the car loves to be driven. It's just in the city (especially around London) that the car will protest and feels out of place. It's simply not build for stop-and-go driving. In it's most standard trim it's not the most sexy car to drive, and changing the interior and exterior is costly - so if it is a matter of concern when buying a car, make sure you get the slightly more extensive trim. In conclusion, it's a reliable and classy car with great fuel economy and low maintenance cost - but it's very conservative in styling and not meant for stop and go driving.
